Enjoy Some Happiness With a Stampin’ Up! Theme Song!

This was the 30th Anniversary theme song, “Love, Live, & Share It Today” for the recent Stampin’ Up! OnStage convention in Orlando in November. One of the composers was Rett Christensen, a Stampin’ Up! employee, who also won the employee Heart of Stampin’ Up! award.  His son has autism and he suggested making the past and present theme songs available for purchase and donating the proceeds to Autism organizations.

Whether or not you would like to purchase this theme song or others, please enjoy this very cute video!!

Christmas Decorations on Table

No stamping for me until I get these unpacked Christmas decorations hung on the tree or placed somewhere around the house!  I have way too many but most have memories attached! In my wildest dreams I’d like to make some scrapbook pages about my Christmas decorations! Someday!

 

Cyber Monday! Save on Stampin’ Up! Stamp Sets & Kits!

Hearts Come Home Christmas Card

It’s Cyber Monday and the Stampin’ Up! Online Extravaganza is going on today with 10% off Annual Catalog Stamp Sets and Kits! Today is the last day of the two-day sale.  Tomorrow and the next day will be Tools & Ink.  Quantities are limited so shop early!

Here is a Christmas card I made using the Hearts Come Home stamp set, which is on the Online Extravaganza today.  The card base is Real Red and I decided to emboss it with the Swirls & Curls Embossing Folder in the Holiday Catalog.  I could have left the card plain, it looked fine the way it was.

I did cut a circle with the Layering Circle Framelits Dies and layered that on the largest scalloped circle die of Old Olive. Then I stamped on the circle with a house and some trees plus a greeting and Santa and his sleigh (who could resist putting that on there!).  The trees I stamped and then stamped again without re-inking for a few to look more like a little forest. (Also, I was covering up a little stray ink spot!)  For a finishing touch, I added a little white bow with the Whisper White 1/8″ Sheer Ribbon.

Look through the stamp sets and the cardmaking kits offered on the Online Extravaganza today and see if there are any you have been wanting or “need”!  Add on any other products you want as well.

Thanksgiving Turkey Treats, Candy & Papercrafts Ideas

Thanksgiving Turkey Cookie Favor

When I think of Thanksgiving, I always think of these Thanksgiving Candy Turkey Cookie Favors I used to make back in the day when my kids were little……and even a few times in recent years when my kids were big!  It was always an easy and fun thing to make for the Thanksgiving lunch at preschool for the whole class. Click on the link to find out how to make them!

Here are some fun Thanksgiving crafts and favors I made in past years!  They may give you some ideas for things you might want to make to give away or have at each place for Thanksgiving.  Just click the link below to go to that blog post with more information.

A World Card Making Day Stampin’ Up! Sale!

World Card Making Day Banner

World Card Making Day will be celebrated on Saturday, October 6, 2018. It’s a special day that was started in 2006 declaring the first Saturday of October to be World Card Making Day, a day for those of us who craft and create and make cards! It’s a good time to get started on our holiday cards, and it’s also a good day to make a selection of cards to actually MAIL to people we know.  How often have you heard someone say that your card came at just the right moment?  We often underestimate the power of a card! Email and text messages are handy and have their uses, but what can compare to finding a personal card in your mailbox?

To celebrate World Card Making Day, Stampin’ Up! has a special promotion! 

Select products are 10% off from October 1-7, 2018.

Click the list below to see all the products available on this special sale!

World Card Making Day Products 2018

Think about celebrating World Card Making Day by just stopping the world and sitting down and making cards yourself or perhaps getting together with some friends and making cards. And after you enjoy making the cards, take a minute to write a little note inside and send it off to a friend, neighbor, or loved one to let them know you were thinking of them!  What a treat!

And to treat yourself (why not?!), do some Holiday Catalog shopping at the Online Store and add on some of the products on sale this week! Ten percent is a small amount but it’s like getting free shipping on those products!

Let’s all celebrate World Card Making Day this week!

New Items Added to the Stampin’ Up! Clearance Rack!

Clearance Sign with Confetti

New items have been added to the Clearance Rack in the

Stampin’ Up! Online Store!

Supplies are limited, and with discounts up to 60%, products will go quickly. Shop now and stock up.

If you were a fan of Fast Fuse Adhesive or would like to try it, Fast Fuse is back temporarily, while supplies last, on the Clearance Rack.  Stampin’ Up! had retired it and everything, but then the vendor contacted them because they had manufactured a surplus of Fast Fuse applicators and Fast Fuse refills and offered to sell it to Stampin’ Up!  Since Stampin’ Up! had heard from a lot of Demonstrators that we liked it (it’s a good, strong adhesive), they purchased the Fast Fuse and are offering it on the Clearance Rack at a discount

I like to use Fast Fuse. I would say it has a bit of learning curve to get the hang of using it, but there are plenty of tips out there for applying it. But it is a strong adhesive that works well so I would advise that you try it!  Only available while supplies last so don’t delay, just in case!

Remember, stock will change by the minute so whatever is available at the time is what is available!  You can use your Bonus Codes you earned in August on your purchase as well.  Be sure to use them before the end of September. Read HERE how to apply the codes to your order and get your discount.

You can shop from the Holiday Catalog and Annual Catalog plus add Clearance Rack items to your order!

Quick and Easy Frankenstein Halloween Card

Frankenstein Halloween Card

You’ve got to try this Quick and Easy Frankenstein Halloween Card if you like Halloween!  It will only take you two seconds to make. You can even vary the design to put on tags or treat bag toppers or a Halloween piece of home decor – whatever you like.

The card base is Old Olive Cardstock.  The hair is Basic Black just cut in a jagged way.  Just figure out how long you want his hair to hang down and cut off the top portion.

Otherwise, you just need a 3/4″ Circle Punch and a 1 1/4″ Circle Punch to make his eyes and nose.  Punch two 1 1/4″ circles of Old Olive and cut in half with Paper Snips. Sponge some Old Olive Ink on three of the pieces for the two eyelids and nose.  You could also make a circle nose if you like or an oval.  The Whisper White eyes are punched with the 1 1/4″ Circle Punch and Basic Black with the 3/4″ Circle Punch.  I used the White Stampin’ Chalk Marker to just draw in those little whites of his eyes.  You can put them at crazy angles or whatever you want if you want to have some fun with it!

Draw in a few scars and Frankenstein’s mouth with a Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker or Journaling Pens .  Once you get your supplies out, making the card goes very quickly!  Halloween is so much fun!

Here is a closeup of Frankenstein’s face.  Have fun making your Frankenstein!

Color Your Season Wreath Card

Color Your Season Wreath Card

This Color Your Season Wreath Card is just one of the hundreds of cards you could make with the Blended Seasons Bundle. It is a set with which you can make cards and projects for all four seasons (if you are lucky enough to have four seasons where you live!).  Here in Houston, Texas we have summer, summer, summer, a day or two of fall, a month of winter maybe, a week of spring and then back to summer, summer, summer. But it’s always nice to think that there is light at the end of the tunnel of summer where we can at least put out some pumpkins and fall colors and leaves and pretend that it is autumn!

Just think what you could do with just this stamped wreath from the Blended Seasons Stamp SetJust stamp it and then color in the leaves according to the season. The wreath on this card to me looks like spring.  If you colored the leaves darker greens, perhaps, it might look more like summer. And of course fall colors for a fall wreath.

The thing is about this special Blended Seasons Bundle is it is only available now during August.  And August is flying by if you ask me! Be sure to take a look at the options in this suite and see if you want the stamp set only, or the Bundle with the stamp set and framelits dies.  You can also order the new assortment of Watercolor Pencils, which is separate from the Bundle.  These may or may not be available later on, so if you like Watercolor Pencils in Stampin’ Up! colors (years ago when I started Stampin’ Up! sold Watercolor Pencils but they were not in official Stampin’ Up! colors, that’s why these newer ones are special!), you should probably purchase these now while you can.

This Blended Seasons Bundle and Watercolor Pencils are only available until August 31! Less than two weeks!
