Special

Wow! Stampin Up is an awesome company!

I have always known that Stampin' Up was a great company but today just reinforced that feeling again.

On January 12, 2010 a magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck Haiti, leaving in its wake devastation so overwhelming that the Haitian people and their leaders can only look for help from the outside to cope.

This morning Stampin' Up released a note to demonstrators that for every I (heart) stamp set sold, they will donate $2 to the Haitian Disaster Relief fund by way of the American Red Cross! The Red Cross is already well-established in Haiti, and this money will be used to provide immediate relief and long-term support through supplies, technical assistance and other support to help those in need. In addition to donating a portion of sales, Stampin Up bought supplies for 5,000 hygiene kits to be sent.

This is a picture of Dale Fillmore, President of Stampin Up filling boxes to be sent to Haiti.

More Leadership pics and swaps….

I have so many pictures to share! I got a new camera for Christmas and I couldn’t wait to try it out….too bad it doesn’t have a button on there to make you look thinner!

 This is me and my friend and sideline Debbie Naylor. She also lives in VA but about 3 hours away. I wish she was closer so we could hang out more!

Here are Kimberly, Dena, me, and Max saying goodbye right as Leadership ended. It is always hard when Stampin Up events end because I love spending time with my friends from all of the country that I have met through Stampin Up. I love meeting new friends every time I go to one of these events and then you can’t wait to see them all again next time! At least the Stampin Up Hawaii trip is only 2 months away…..better start that diet today!

One last hug from Kimberly…..

Here are more swaps from Leadership!

This one was made by my new friend Maxine Conrad who is a SAM (service account manager) at Stampin Up. She is from England and kept us laughing the whole time. She is hysterical!

This one I got from Joann Wiemers. The lid of the cupcake opens up into the inside of the card.

I just LOVE this new rooster set. It is a hostess set so I am sure lots of people will be booking parties to get one of these! This one was made by Carolyn Shelby.  She did a great job!

Valentine Mailbox….look what’s inside….

I am having so much fun playing with this new Love You Much bundle….I have had a week off since Christmas to just play and make swaps for Leadership. I had a couple of these mini mailboxes left over from last year ( they were in the $$ bin at Target…my favorite store!). Anyway, I thought the Candy Lane paper would look great on one and I was right! Isn’t this adorable…..but wait…there’s more…..open the mailbox to see what is inside……

  These cute little love notes fit perfectly inside the mailbox. THey are 3×3 size. I would love to do a class with these this year but I am sure Target will be sold out of them by the time I get there.  For the mailbox, I used a 4×12 sheet of DSP and made a template out of scrap paper to punch the 1/2 inch circle to go around the flag. I had to punch out a few to get it positioned just right and then I laid that one over the DSP to punch the circle and then snip it so that the paper just slides in right around your flag.  I hope that makes sense.

Merry Christmas!

I hope you all have a wonderful and safe holiday! I thought I would share the projects that I did with all of my clubs this month.

  I got the idea for this gift bag from Angie Juda’s blog here . We made these at each club and I gave everyone a bag of my homemade Christmas candy to put inside of it, although pretty much everyone ate the candy before we finished the project! The stamp set is from the Country Living special and I cut out the front and back pieces for the bag using the Top note die in the Big Shot.

This was an ornament I made using a coaster, our Ski Slope DSP, the snow flurries,  and our chipboard frames. These are super easy to make. We sponged the frames with close to cocoa craft ink, glued the paper to the coaster, trimmed it and sanded the edges. The snowman is from Punch Pals and we stamped him on watercolor paper and then colored him. The snowflake is attached with a glue dot and then covered in glitter. I love that twine for hanging the ornaments. You can unravel it to give it a totally different look.  

  This last project was a birthday card I received from my good friend Kimberly Van Diepen. She always does such gorgeous cards and when I showed the card to my customers, they were all begging me to make it in class. The daisies are stamped in white craft and embossed with irridescent ice. THe butterflies are stamped in close to cocoa, cut out and then stamped with the versamark pad and embossed with irridescent ice also. They all loved the card and most of them didn’t want to give it away because it was too pretty to part with.
