12 Days of Sales

Stampin' Up! has done it again!  For the next 12 days (till Dec 22nd) tons of their Sizzix Big Shot items are on sale.  Also, Decor Element sheets are on sale.  Why would you want those?  Well, let me tell you first of all they are a great deal:  you can use them with your Big Shot, other die cut machine or even that electronic cutting machine (yep, you all know the one) to cut out tons of great shapes.  You can even use them with your SU! punches.  I've used them with my alphabet dies!  Think I'm going to use some of the chalkboard elements and my Top Note die, to make some great christmas presents.  My mind is whirling with ideas!  

Here's the fine print:  

Online orders may be placed till Dec 22nd at 11:50 MST via my website.

or you may e-mail or call me with your order till 5:00pm EST on the 22nd.  The 22nd is my 8th Wedding Anniversary so I will be out on the town with my hubby after that!

NEW Products from the Occasions Mini Catalog

One of the many perks of being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator is that you get to order all the new products early.  So I hate to brag, but I have in my hand the NEW 2010 Occasions Mini Catalog, Sale-A-Bration Catalog, and Decor Elements update!!!!  Plus, I already received my first order out of them.  I wish I could post the catalogs for you but I'm not able to till Jan 5th.  However I can show you pictures of the new products I ordered.  

Here they are:

  How cute are these Sweet Pea Stitched Felt????  They are quality stitched felt and come in a pack with 52 pieces total for $7.95.  There also is a paper pack that matches.  Sweet Pea paper stack (our first paper stack) 48 12x12 sheets of two sided designer paper for $24.95.  
You may wonder what kind of product is this?  Guess what??  SU! now has UNMOUNTED STAMPS.  We are calling them clear mount stamps, but the stamps themselves still use SU! quality rubber and foam.   I'm so excited to try them out, so far I've heard great things about them.  All of the stamp sets in the Occasions mini and Sale-a-bration have the option of being clear mounted.  So far here are the benefits I see: price (about 10% less), storage (they store in a DVD case sized box), flexibility (mount several stamps on one acrylic block at once).  I'm sure there are a ton more but that is what quick comes to mind.  
This is the My Matroyshka Stamp set.  You can see the back side of the stamp and then the front side with the optional labels applied to the foam.  Think vinyl cling.
All the clear mount stamp sets come packaged in a storage box (dvd case size) with a label on not only the front but also on the side for quick reference.  
Remember all these stamp sets are available starting January 5th on my website just click on shop.

Christmas Digital Pages

I have a new obsession (did I mention this is our second snow day in a row!!) and it's digital scrapbooking with SU!'s My Digital Studio.  Here are some Christmas pages that only took me minutes to create, so quick and still so cute!

Blizzard SALE!!!

Ok, not really, but SU! is going to have a huge sale starting this Friday December 11th.  I have NO clue what will be on sale, but the word on the street is that it includes items never on sale before.  Those of you that will still be digging out from the blizzard this week can shop online from the comfort of your home, no need to put your coat and boots on.  Of course you can always e-mail me or call to place your order too!  

If you plan on ordering Christmas gifts please make sure that you place your order by December 14th for regular shipping, after the 14th I recommend either 2 day or next day air to ensure on time delivery.  Can't make that deadline????  How about a gift certificate?  I have them in-stock and ready to go.  

My Digital Studio Christmas Cards

This year I've decided to use SU!'s new My Digital Studio program to make my Christmas cards.  Ever since I had Zoë I've struggled with how to get her cute little on a cute hand stamped card.  So now I have the best of BOTH worlds!  So excited and I was truly easy to do.  Really!

My Digital Studio is available for purchase from my website  (click on website) for $79.95.  Don't let that price tag scare you it comes with TONS of digital designer papers, kits, stamps, punches, cardstock, embellishments.  I don't know the exact count off my head but it's got to be hundreds.  Plus there are additional downloads that will continue to come out that you can purchase ($3-$12 range approx) in the future.  

Few Quick Christmas Card Ideas

Well, it's that time of year again!  Maybe you are ahead of the game and already have your cards stamped, signed, and all set to go or maybe not.  

 So, I thought I would quick share some card ideas.  

 

Christmas CD Scrapbook Class 12/13

Hi Everyone!  It's been a while since I taught a class SO I've decided to hold one.  On December 13th at 2:00pm I will be teaching this cute scrapbook class.  This is a great gift idea for those people that you need a little something gifty for OR just to keep for yourself!  

The cost will be $20.  For this $20 you will receive 1/2 of a pack of the Christmas Jingle Simply Scrappin Kit, all the accessories and paper that you need to make the project, and a set of instructions so that you can remember how it's made in the future.  

This class will take about 2 hours to complete more or less.  

If you are interested here is the fine print:

Your class fee of $20 is not refundable if you are not able to make it to the class, however you will be able to pick your kit up from me after the class to put it together on your own.  

Thanks for understanding!
