Chicks & Chocolate Event!


We had fun at the Chicks & Chocolate Event in January!  All the projects were cased from some very talented ladies:

Why recreate the wheel when there are so many super creative stampers out there?!  c.a.s.e.-ing (copy and share everything) allows us to spend more time stamping and less time thinking of what to stamp. :)  

Attending a stamp-a-stack or other event is even better!  Everything is all planned out and prepped for you.  All you do is sit down, stamp and enjoy! 

Another great way to enjoy stamping without even having to leave the comfort of your own home is to have the fun come to you via Paper Pumpkin! Every month a surprise is delivered right to your door!  Everything you need: stamps, ink, paper and accessories--all cut, measured and ready to create a sweet project!  Now through March 31st, take advantage of a special pre-paid three month Paper Pumpkin subscription for $54.95 (save $5) and receive a FREE Sale-A-Bration product! The ladies also made treat bags from the January Paper Pumpkin kit.  Quick and easy and oh, so cute!


We also enjoyed a hot chocolate bar-different kinds of hot cocoa with a variety of toppings: mini chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, creme de mint andes, white chocolate chips, toffee chips, chocolate/marshmallow stir sticks... Chocolate pudding cake, chocolate covered wafers, assorted Dove chocolates...  Two of my favorite things: Stamping and chocolate! Shared with fabulous ladies!

Thank you for visiting!

July Stamp-A-Stack


These are the cards we made at our July Stamp-A-Stack.  All of them were cased from very talented Stampin' Up demonstrators on the internet.
From upper left clockwise: 

  • Jen Arkfeld: Stamped several of the flowers from Flower Patch in Daffodil Delight and the leaves in Coastal Cabana, cut with coordinating dies and Big Shot, layered sentiment onto a piece of burlap trim die cut with the large scallop edgelit, background is Typeset DSP spritzed with  Bermuda Bay/alcohol solution using the Dots mask from Dots & Stripes.
  • Susan Gillespie: Stamped flowers from Hostess Set - Bloom with Hope in StazOn ink on watercolor paper
  • Jennifer Timko: No-line piercing technique, stamped flower on "back side" of watercolor paper with light ink, use Stampin’ Pierce Mat to protect your surface, use a straight pin to follow the lines of the stamped image, flip the image over and color using Aquapainter with Lost Lagoon/Blackberry Bliss and Hello Honey inks, embossed panel by cutting out an oval with the Ovals Framelits, then embossing with the Decorative Dots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, distressed around the edges with Distressing Tool, tied bow with Hello Honey Stitched Satin Ribbon
  • Jen Arkfeld:  Stamped Dotty Angles confetti stamp using Daffodil Delight, Strawberry Slush, Coastal Cabana and offsetting it each time,  added Dazzling Diamonds and Thick Baker's Twine

Join the Party!


Screen Shot 2013-10-01 at 10.23.29 AM

How would you like to spend a few hours, gathered with some like-minded friends, enjoying a little stamping demonstration and a make 'n' take, and earn a few extra hostess bucks while you're at it? 
Well, for the month of October, Stampin' Up! is offering an additional $25 in hostess benefits* -- in honor, of course, of their 25th Anniversary. 
*A qualifying party for this special is $250.  That translates to the regular $40 in hostess benefits (from any catalog, any current item/s) plus $25 additional hostess dollars.  That's $65 in free product for a $250 (before tax and shipping) workshop or personal order!  This offer does NOT include online orders.
I would love to share with you and some of your friends a few projects and ideas for Halloween, Thanksgiving or Christmas.  Call or email me to find a date on my rapidly filling October calendar.
Look forward to hearing from you!
