Holiday/Christmas Card Stamp a Stack, Part two, project 3

Hi all
This card has several of my favorite Stampin' Up! products.
I love the ribbon punch!  One of my stampin' gals was delighted during class when she realized the punch makes this lovely ribbon of cardstock with one punch - she thought she would have to put the piece back in to get the second edge.
The new label punch is really neat because is is large enough to hold bigger images.
The ornament was die cut with the mover and shaper ornament die and YES!!! this ornament is made out of metal!!!   Fun!!  The ornament is hanging by an actual ornament hook.

Holiday/Christmas Card Stamp a Stack, Part two, project 2

Hi all
You know I'm not a photographer so I hope you can see the plenty of petals dry embossed background and the rhinestone on the words.  Quick and fun ..two requirements when you are making LOTS of cards to send to your friends and family for the holidays.  You could easily make a stack of  these!!  Contact me for a materials list.

no more regionals,.....stamp a stack instead!!

Hi all,  Happy Birthday to me!!
At regionals, there were six projects but I chose not to make the scrapbook page - I will use the cardstock for card making instead.
Today I want to begin sharing the projects from the holiday stamp a stack that I held last Sunday.

This card was inspired by a trade I received at Regionals (D Cohen) ...I tweaked it a bit, of course.  Can you tell that the greeting in the corner is stamped through a word window hole?  The medallion was stamped twice in full (once in red and once in green) and trimmed ...and then the center was stamped in red, too. Very fresh looking, I thought.
I will have five new card designs for my next holiday stamp a stack on Nov 7 ...you need to register and pre-pay by halloween, Oct 31st....it takes a while to cut cardstock for 20 cards per person...especially when I am doing progress reports on my students, too.  It is hard to believe that the first quarter of school is almost over!!!
I hope to see you at the class.  Is that too long to wait to come stampin?  Then join us on Oct 24th to make Thanks, Thanksgiving and Fall projects.....register by October 22.

Baltimore Regionals project #5

Hi all,
Well you know me, I like to save the best for last....for me this was the best card.  I cheated a bit by using a ruler to draw two lines forming an x in dead center.  Then I punched a hole there and using my clear blocks I was able to line up the stems nicely in a straight line from the dot to the corner.  The little added cajun craze c/s circle in the center covers the hole.  Rich colors, simple design...surely you could whip up a dozen of these in no time!!
Don't forget to do you holiday workshop booking today!!

attention!!!!!!

The Clearance Rack Blitz (peggyouten.stampinup.net  click on Shop Now) has been a big hit with Stampin' Up!demonstrators and customers, but if you want to take advantage of up to 80 percent off of discontinued Stampin’ Up! products, you need to act fast. The Clearance Rack Blitz ends on October 18, so make sure you get your order in before the blitz ends!
 This is a great place to holiday shop for you and your stampin buddies!!

Baltimore Regionals project #4

Hi all

Here is a simple monochromatic card .... I just realized, I forgot to add the ribbon!!! Sorry!!! It should have the luscious green ribbon wrapped around vertically and tied on the front.  No wonder it looked like something was missing....it was!!!  This is a quick card that can easily be stepped up by layering additional medallions or parts of the medallion....or by detailing the design with markers.

I spent a bit too much time chatting on the phone with each of the the ladies I called last night (but I did enjoy it!!) and didn't get to contact as many friends as I had hoped to about hostessing a workshop.  So... I have decided to extend my offer until my birthday on Friday October 15th.   Your name will go in the pot for the drawing for a $10 gift certificate if you book your workshop by Friday. If you contact me to book  before I call you, your name will go in twice!  Any workshop you book to hold from now until March 31 will qualify.  Contact me to book your holiday workshop or to make a prime pick for a Saleabration workshop.
