Introduction to Embossing Stamp Class

May 31, 1-4pm

Learn 4 fun and interesting techniques such as Scratch and Sniff, a Twisted Emboss Resist, Tone-on-Tone, and Split Negative.

Here's an example of split negative. This isn't the card we'll be making, but it is such a cool technique!
I used the stamp set Lovely as a Tree.

Special Door Prizes, Edmonton Women's Show 2008

We (the vendors) were asked to provide additional door prize offerings for the guests of the Spring Women's Show. My colleagues and I agreed to provide a gift certificate, and a free catalogue with an additional gift certificate inside should they come to our booth to redeem the card.

Each of us made 5 cards. These are mine.

I used Taken With Teal textured cardstock and regular Old Olive cardstock. The CS was cut to 6x6 in size and folded in half to make a 6x3 card. A strip of Designer Series Paper was glued across the card, and the 5-petal punch was used to punch several flowers, with the Three for You punch used for the centre of the flowers. A bit of crystal effects in the middle, the stamp "congratulations", and they were ready to be packaged. They turned out really well, so quick to make with the punches, and definitely something I'll be playing with some more. That's a great card size for gift certificates of any type, cheques, or cash.

My ds wanted to me to take a picture of the cards with him beside them. He's delightful.

Enjoy! See you next weekend...I hope...just 4 more days to go!

Blizzard Contest Winner!

A few weeks ago I ran a contest in my newsletter for some lucky reader to guess the date of the first real blizzard to hit my area and today is the day! My lucky winner is Elaine who guessed Nov 15. The next closest date chosen was Jan 10- so it was a very close race. Congrats Elaine! Elaine wins a stamp set called Made from Scratch, and I'll be mailing it to her tomorrow.

This is my Christmas tree. I expect all of you to oohh and ahhh...did you notice that every decoration on there is handmade? 3 different types of ornaments, plus a decoration from a downline, Wei, and hand-strung cheerios garland. Well, I'm happy with it!

I've been out shovelling twice today now, and we're still getting another 5 or 6 cm tonight before the snow quits. Now I'm finally in the Christmas spirit! Let it snow...baby it's cold outside...etc.

Happy Week!!

Retired Rubber Stamp Sale and New Catalogue Open House

I have finalized my retired rubber stamp sale date and it will be on Friday, January 11 at 7:00pm in Sherwood Park and Sunday, January 13 at my home in Fort Saskatchewan at 3:00pm.

The details:

-My list of current retiring sets that I am selling off will be released with my newsletters this month, and posted to this blog shortly after.

-My prices will be uniform. The larger, more expensive stamp sets will be set at $25 and the smaller ones at $20.

-I am open to negotiation with quantity purchases.

-My stamp club members get first dibs on stamp sets, however they must pay for the set before receiving it in January to ensure that if I put a set on hold it will be sold and not collect dust if they decide against it at the last minute.

-Both events will have a make and take from a stamp set and accessories from the NEW Spring/Summer Collection for no additional cost.

-Door prizes will be drawn for those who sign up to join a stamp club, workshop, or a class. Displays will be present for the classes so you can see what you'll be making. Workshops must be booked at the open house.

-Free older Idea Books for those who purchase $50 in retired product, or will be available for purchase at $5 each.

-If you preordered a catalogue you will receive it at these open houses. If you belong to a club and cannot make this event you will receive your copy at the next club date.

Thanks, and happy stamping!

Folding Wallet Scrapbook Class

Here's some "top secret" photographs to give you an idea of what my folding wallet scrapbook class entails...and it's a secret because I'm working on this scrapbook for my husband for Christmas this year.

So if you know him...shhhh!

As if he'd go searching online to look at my blog.

More class details are found on my Stampin' Up! website.

Your envelopes won't be a pretty bright turquoise but a nice plain white- neutral enough to stamp however you want. You'll get your choice of my available Designer Series Papers, and I'll provide you with a list of things you need to bring to the class once you register.

My RSVP date is really important- October 13- please confirm your attendance by then!

I hope to see you there! Contact me today to register!

The We Can Stamp Edmonton Convention!

Our annual large group training convention was this past Saturday, and what a day! We stamped on Fabric bags, created 2 cards that used the Boho West theme, and stamped a wonderful little box that held a set of mini note-cards (3x3) using both the Pretties kit as well as the Define Your Life alphabet and stamp set. Our speaker was Margo Kelly, and she was awesome! I really enjoyed our day.

This event is open to all of Christy Harsch's downline- so if you're thinking of signing up as a demonstrator under me, this annual event would become part of your training as well!

See my demonstrator web site for more information, and contact me today!

I exchanged swaps with some of the girls in my group, and as time allows I'll add those to an album. But for now, here are 2 of the projects. More pictures will follow!

I'll talk to you soon! Take care!

World Cardmaking Day Specials!

World Cardmaking Day, October 6 (the first Saturday in October each year) is a day to sit down and make a card by hand for someone you love! With this in mind, Stampin' Up! is putting their Simply Sent card kits on sale for 20% off!
I love these kits, and here are some more details about them:

-They are found on pages 12-14 of the Fall-Winter Collection 2007

-They include EVERYTHING you need to make a bunch of cards- from stamps to adhesive, from cardstock to embellishments

-The stamps are die-cut! This mean a laser has cut out the stamp for you, so all you need to do is pop off the rubber and attach it to the wood- you can start stamping in no time at all!

-They even include Instructions! Full colour, "how to" brochure gives you the step-by-step directions to create the samples found in the catalogue. Of course, you can go your own way too.

Here is a picture from the Simply Sent kit I own, Friendship Shapes. You can check out some other cards I made using this set in my Friendship Shapes photo album!

For more information on how to order some of these kits for yourself, please contact me! Or, to find out when I'm placing my order for these kits, sign up for my newsletter- there will be more information in my October edition.
