Friendship

One thing you do with Stampin' Up! is make many friends!  

Today's card is the third of four that you can come in and make or buy as a kit of four.  This also is a swap I made last year for my upline.

The card base is Whisper White with Sweet Sugarplum cardstock for a layer of color.  The stamp set is Lovely Friends and is available until May 31, 2018.  The Sweet Sugarplum cardstock, ink, ribbons, etc., will retire at that time as well.

 I stamped my words and leaves and placed on the front.  I stamped my words inside as well using Sweet Sugarplum ink.




If you would like to come in and make this card along with the other three cards, send me a message, email, or give me a call at 417-544-0669.  

Happy Crafting,

Simple Thank You Card

Today's share is a Thank You card I've previously offered in a class.  I have extra supplies cut so want to give you the opportunity to either come in and make your own set of cards, or, you can purchase the kits and make them in the comfort of your own home.

If you choose to make these in your own home, you will need stamps, ink and adhesive for this card. I do have a tutorial for this card already completed for you.

This card uses a retired stamp set, Field Flowers, and retired Designer Series papers.  



I left the inside blank for writing a personal note.

Don't hesitate to contact me with any questions!

Birthday Card

REMINDER:  Today's the last day to RSVP for my Box Card class on Tuesday night!

Today's share is a card we made in card class.  I have supplies already cut and ready if you would like to come in and make this card.  If you want to purchase a kit, contact me!  I have the tutorials just about done for you.

Remember, when you purchase the card as a kit, you need to have the stamps, ink, and other items used--punches, embossing folders, etc.

I used all retired items on this card.  The stamp set is Bring on the Cake.



If you'd like to stop in at the Branson Mill and make this card, just give me a heads up that you're coming.  I'll be posting the other three cards in the next few days.  You can come in and use my inks, stamps, and Big Shot to complete all four of these cards (other three cards will be posted tomorrow, Monday and Tuesday!).

Happy Crafting,

Picture Perfect Paper Ribbon Discontinued

 Picture Perfect Paper Ribbon removed from Occasions Catalog 2018


Stampin’ Up! has informed us that the Picture Perfect Paper Ribbon (item #145502) on page 5 has been unavailable due to environmental audits halting production of thousands of factories across China. Unfortunately, Stampin’ Up!!—along with many other businesses worldwide—have continued to experience delays in production. As a result, they have decided the best course of action is to remove this item from our product offering.


I know many of you—just like myself —were eagerly anticipating the release of this product. We are so sorry about this turn of events. Although Picture Perfect Paper Ribbon won’t be available, I have some good news: Stampin’ Up! has many other ribbons that ARE available.

Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or need help selecting different ribbons to use in your project!

Happy Crafting,

Box Card Class

I have been busy planning for my January 23rd Card Class that I forgot to post about my January 9th Card Class!

On January 9th, from 6 to 8 PM we will be making two box cards at the Branson Community Center.  You do need to RSVP to Traci at 417-337-8510, no later than Friday, January 5th, so I have enough supplies cut!  

I've run out of these papers, but these are the cards we'll be making -- just using different papers:



I hope you will be able to join us!

Pandamonium!

Stampin' Up! has a new Occasions catalog with a Sale-A-Bration catalog.  What is Sale-A-Bration?  Every year, Stampin' Up! rewards you with FREE select items when you purchase $50 or more.  For every $50 you spend, you can a FREE item.  What kinds of things do you get?  

Well, one of the items is this Party Panda Stamp Set.  Isn't he cute?


I have the Sale-A-Bration and the new Occasions catalogs in my store located inside the Branson Mill Craft Village.  I cannot post live until January 3rd, but you can see some samples in my 2018 Occasions and SAB Pinterest board.  

Here is a card I made for a swap with my fellow Stampin' Up! Demonstrators, using the Party Pandas.  By using the Delightful Daisy Designer Series Papers, I was able to easily pick out the colors I wanted to use for this card.


It may be 4 degrees here in Branson, but it is -13 in Iowa where we used to live and where my upline is.  I thought something bright and cheerful was on the agenda!

These cute Pandas are a FREE Stamp Set you can earn when spending $50 in my On-Line Store!  

Be sure to let me know if you have any questions!  

Happy Crafting,
