Summer Time Promotions=Bonus Hostess Benefits!

Team up with a friend and hold a "Catalog Party!" On June 1st Stampin Up! releases their "Last Chance" stamps...those retiring in order to make way for the new catalog products. What better time to stock up on stamp sets and accessories and receive bonus hostess benefits. It works like this...
Either place an on-line order of $250-$399.99 , or email me your order directly, and you will receive, in addition to the regular hostess benefits, an additional $20 in free Stampin Up merchandice of your choice! After June 1st, check this site for listings of these "Last Chance" products. They will sell out quickly, so get your order in soon! Even if you order the minimum of $150 Stampin Up product to receive hostess benefits, you are gaining some new products for your stampin fun! So get friends and family together for a little shopping and ask me to order you a new Stampin Up! catalog, yours for $10, or free when you place a $150 or have a workshop in your home...or my studio~ (Go to "My Website" and click to order!)

Thoughts and Prayers

I am going to send this card to a friend who recently lost her father. This set has just the right sentiments. With the tree image stamped in Basic Brown and a little So Saffron sponged around the leaves, the Top Note Die is just the right background. the sentiment is stamped on the Sale A Bration Designer paper and mounted on Basic Brown cardstock. Bashful Blue cardstock provides the base for this simple sympathy card.

"Friends 24-7"

This is the new set called "Friends 24-7" and I just love the variety of looks you can get with this versatile stamp set. You see the flower and sentiment on this card and the card below has the sweet little birdie and background flourish stamp. I used Almost Amethyst for the base of my card, and Elegant Eggplant as a layering contrast. The scallop punch is an easy way to make a card special...as well as adding some brads, these from the Soft Subtle set.

"Friends 24-7"

I added the "Friendly Words" jumbo wheel to this card. It goes so well with the "Friends 24-7" set. The little bird is inked in Baja Breeze and I used the same color grograin ribbon. Kiwi Kiss cardstock provides the background.
