Aerubbecisor swap cards and holiday sneak peek

After fighting with the blog for several hours yesterday, I finally realized that no amount of swearing and frustration was going to make it work.  Today I retook all of the pictures and loaded them on my desktop since I could not make my IPad do what I wanted it to do.  So today all the pictures were on my IPad and all of them were loaded on my computer so I could take my time deciding what you were going to see today.  I showed you my swap for our monthly Aerubbecisor  group swap so I thought I would share the other 12 swaps over the next four days as well as one of the Holiday Sneak Peek cards with the supplies needed to make each one.  That should get me through the next week or so.  I have lots of other things coming up, including a Stampin' Up! get together next Saturday where will do some swapping and sharing so there will be lots more to come.  Here are the three cards that were part of the swap with the stamp sets and designer paper that were the key components of the card.

 Flamingo Lingo with Sweet Taffy Designer Series Paper by Wileen Carlton

Sea Street Stamp Set with Maritime Designer Series Paper by Verna Almer-Tidd

Flower Shop Stamp Set with Brights Designer Series Paper Stack by Lacey Auvigne

So Saturday was my Holiday Sneak Peek class with nine different projects from the new catalog.  I had so much fun playing with many of the new stamp sets and accessories.  It was hard to choose the ones that I wanted to do, so I had to quit at nine projects.  There will be four months to play with the rest of them and share a lot more projects. My favorite set from the Holiday mini will not surprise any of you.  I just love the "Making Spirits Brights" because as many of you know, I was a Restaurant and Hotel Manager in a previous life and got to do a little bartending.  My animals are named after liquors and I love playing with frou frou drinks so this stamp set just lent itself to my punny nature.  This will be my stamp set of the month for September so know you will be seeing this one a lot in the next several months.  I don't do a lot for Halloween, but this one will work for the few that I do.

I started to do a post today with pics from the Aerubbecisor swap and my Holiday mini sneak peek, but blogger is not acknowledging any of the pics I took today so I will try one. Ore time to add a few pics and will give up until tomorrow.   Still no pics so will try again tomorrow.  Good night

Aerubbecisor swap plus new gadgets for Weekly Deals and the Clearance Rack

Jana, my good friend and long time fellow demonstrator joined me for another session of  blogging.  I'm not sure if this was 103 or 301, but she is so patient and waits for me to write down all of her answers to my myriad of questions.  Today we focused on how to list the supplies needed for each published project and hyperlink them to our catalogs so that anyone wanting to purchase the project supplies can easily do it.  And speaking of catalogs, she helped me to add the new mini to my blog so you can easily see how exciting it is.  If you didn't get a mini from me in the mail, let me know and I will get one to you.

She also showed me how to add the Weekly deals that come on Tuesday to the "gadgets" on my website as well as the Clearance Rack which gets updated every few months.  

Weekly deals are changed every Tuesday so today I am learning how to post them to my blog.  Click here to view them.

My downline group of demonstrators are a fantastic group of ladies known as the Aerubbecisors.  They decided that they would like to participate in a monthly swap to share ideas for cards and techniques.  We chose our fabulous designer paper for the August swap since it had been on sale last month. There were thirteen participants with some wonderful creations or case-ations as I call them when you copy them from someone else.   The first swap is mine.  I chose the new Color Me Autumn paper with the For All Things stamp set in the holiday mini.  I liked it so much in the Blackberry Bliss that I decided to duplicate it for my workshops in September in Cajun Craze.  The paper is so pretty!

Ice Cream Bar Card

Here is the last of the Simply Stampin' Lunch Bunch cards.  I cased it from someone.  I think it  might  have been Dawn Olchefske.  I forgot to write it on the notes I took.  It seemed like a great end of summer card and the ladies loved it.  Love the Work of Art stamp set.  I've been using parts of it on so many cards including just the words as seen here.

So tomorrow Jana is coming over for the next lesson in blogging.  It will be fun to see what new goodies she helps me add to my blog.  I will start sharing the really fun cards that my Aerubbecisor downline did for the August swap tomorrow so stayed tuned..

A Great Fishy Man Card

It has been such a nice relaxing day getting ready for my new workshops.  It was so fun to choose three new sets and just play with them.   I chose the For All things ang Making Spirits Bright from the Holiday Mini and World of Dreams from the annual catalog.  I can't wait to see how my stampers like them.  You will get to see them after I finish sharing my Simply Stampin' cards, the cards from my new monthly downline swap and the holiday cards for my sneak peek on Saturday.  I've been busy lately.   So with two cards yet to share from yesterday's Lunch Bunch, here is one that I received from  Gayla Wilson at convention.  This was a favorite with many of my stamp club members who requested it as a project. It is a great man card with the shades of Soft Suede and Island Indigo coupled with the By the Tide stamp set.   Gayla did a great job on the card.

Love love love the Stippled Blossom set

Here is the third card that both the Simply Stampin' Lunch  group and my Aerubbecisor downline gals got to make today.  This one was inspired by a card  that I saw made by Karen Menghini.  I really love the Stippled Blossom set and how easy it is to line up the two step stamping images.  You can use any color to make this card and it always turns out great

Several people brought show and tells to Aerubbecisors including a fun little flip book that Tami had made with MDS.  It was photos and sayings of a friend's wedding dress selection outing.  Tami had it made as a bridal shower gift.  I should have taken pictures of it.

Two other projects were provided by Wendy and Stacey with the all round favorite set winner this year, Work of Art.  Such a versatile set.

All in all, it was a pretty awesome day with wonderful friends, good stamping, yummy food and lots of laughter.  Thanks to all the wonderful ladies who came to play.

Cupcakes to Purses

Tomorrow is my Simply Stampin' Lunch Bunch and my monthly Aerubbecisor  downline group dinner.  I have five projects to share with everyone.  I cased most of them as usual, but did actually do one myself which I shared in yesterday's post.  Today's project is from Dawn Olchefske who is very creative and is a source for a bunch of my projects.  I was blessed to have her as a dinner partner on a Stampin' Up! Incentive trip and have subscribed to her blog ever since.

I loved this card as it used the new cupcake set and matching punch.  This is the one that I used for my hostess appreciation invitations.  I am always looking for other ways to use our products and these little purses are such an innovative way to use a stamp that you would never envision upside down in such a unique way.  

Hope you all can make it for my class tomorrow.  Stay tuned for the rest of the projects as well as my group swap cards and next week, all of the holiday cards from Saturdays class.

Sweetbriar Rose with Blendabilities

Today was a take a break day as we traveled to Happy Valley,  Oregon to tour the million dollar homes in the Street of Dreams.  Our daughter, Vicki and her husband are planning a major remodel of their home in Vancouver so she wanted company to check into what's trending in home decor.  The homes were fun to tour,but there was not one that I would want to live in.  In fact, it reinforced the choices we made when we built our dream home seven years ago.  

The break was nice, but now I'm ready to get back into class and workshop preparation for the new mini.  With Simply Stampin' Lunch Bunch and my downline Aerubbecisor group dinner on Tuesday, I cased four of the five cards that everyone will make.  Convention was a wonderful source of ideas so some came from that.  My first card is fairly simple in keeping with the theme of the 

luncheon class.  I just purchased the Sweetbriar Rose and decided to celebrate the end of summer with a bright and cheery design.  The colors are Old Olive, Melon Mambo, and Daffodil Delight.  I colored the flowers with the Blendabilities which are so easy to use.  And in keeping with my promise to start using as many retired accessories as possible on non official Stampin' Up! Events, I included the cute arrow clip that has been retired, but will suggest substituting either the Essentials Hardware Clips or the Basics Hodgepodge Clips.  

I have four more Simply Stampin' cards to share over the next couple of days and then I will share all of the great swap cards that my downline group have submitted this month.  Then, of course, there will be the eight holiday cards for next Saturdays class.  Lots of stuff to share in my posts in the next several days.

Sunset on Kinda Eclectic

I only had a couple of  participants in my free Paper Pumpkin free classes but they seemed to have fun discovering what Paper Pumpkin is all about.  Both ladies decided to sign up for a couple of trial months.  They had no idea what fun goodies you get in the kits.  I will be offering the free projects again in September so more people can experience the fun surprises that come each month..

I have one more card that I made with the Kinda Eclectic stamp set for my set of the month for September.   I was inspired by a card I saw somewhere, but I didn't make any notes on the card so I did it from memory and I have no clue who did the original card.  As I was trying to use the Flowerpot Designer Series Papet, I originally did a card that was a little too busy and bothered me every time I looked at it.  So today I pulled it apart and used a more sedate paper from the same pack of paper. I was much happier with the finished card and don't get an upset tummy every time I look at it anymore.  Here is the finished card. What do you think?  So no matter how many times I tried to load it, it stayed slightly out of focus.  I went to my photo gallery and tied to fix it over and over and this is the best I can get.  It really does look better in person.  I guess that just I as was congratulating myself for learning so much, God decides that I need to go back to the drawing board and learn a little more.  So this is the last of the Kinda Eclectic.  I will be adding my Simply Lunch Bunch cards next and then all the fun cards from my group swap.  Stay tuned.

Now back to our regular programming.  After all you need a commercial once in a while!

Today was another very busy day as my good friend and fellow demonstrator, Jana Gann came to teach me blogging 102 or was it 201?  Anyway we spent several hours adding additional features and gadgets.  What do you think of the additions and changes?  Now you can click on all kind of buttons and go directly to different programs.  As many of you know, I'm deathly allergic to technology so each dose must be very short.  Thanks, Jana for a very educational and fun time.

Now for another card sample from my stamp set of the month, Kinda Eclectic .  This was another fairly clean and simple card that I really liked.  

Notice the sneak peek from the new holiday catalog.  I just love the new gold metal buttons!

Flowerpot with Kinda Eclectic

Where does the time go?  I've spent the last four days uploading hundreds of photos from all of our family events in 2013 so I can finally get my annual collage done and work on my 2013 memory album. It is amazing how long it takes to go through twelve months worth of photos on my computer and figure out what is going in the two projects, but it finally done and I picked all of the prints at Costco today.  I have three new Project Life by Stampin'  Up! Kits so I hope it will make the memory keeping go quicker.

My other project this week has been to start cleaning out our garage.  We built it before our house in Mossyrock sold so once that happened, we just threw things in the garage so we could move onto the property.  Since all of our worldly possessions were stored in the garage, we never went back and organized it once the house was finished.  Hubby and I decided it was time to finish sheet rocking it and get ourselves organized.  So this week it was defrost the huge chest freezer and clean the overflow refrigerator .  We then moved it to one of the freshly sheet rocked walls.  Today we went to IKEA and bought several more sets of shelves to start organizing our Costco shelves.  There hasn't been a lt of stamping this week.

I did want to share another of my Kinda Eclectic stamp set of the month cards.  This one is my favorite.  It is simple but such a happy card with the Flowerpot paper.

It would work for any occasion and I'm thinking of using it for my Swap of the Month Get Well card.          What do you think?

Stamp Set of the Month for August

This month, my featured stamp set is Kinda Eclectic the featured Designer series paper is Flowerpot. When we received it at convention, I was excited to get to play with it on make and takes.  Collage type stamp sets are always a challenge for me as random is not a word I'm real comfortable with.  As you will see this week as I feature the four projects that I designed myself, I had a tendency to make them more organized rather than random.

The first one uses just two of the featured colors in the Flowerpot DSP, garden green and crushed curry.  Absolutely love the leaf branch in this set and used it lavishly in garden green. Matching the small strip of green mini squares Flowerpot DSP.  The two butterflies in the set are perfect accents on the beautiful sun, all in crushed curry.  I love the saying which I cut out with one of the word bubbles Framelits.

Did I mention that anyone who purchases this set in the month that I feature it gets to make all of the featured projects.  And if you are more than 50 miles away from, I might even do all the stamping and cutting and send them off to you.  Stay tuned for the other three projects later this week.

Kira's Save the Date cards

My granddaughter, Kira is getting married next July to a guy she met while visiting friends in Australia.  After dancing at the Beijing Olympics, she met some fun people from Australia and decided to visit the following year.  After spending three weeks on the eastern coast, she fell in love with the country and decided to do an exchange program at the  Unuversity of Sydney through her psychology major at the University of Washington.  Oh, and she kinda fell in love with one of the best friends of the friends she visited there.  After two trips there and Clinton visiting her here in Washington twice, he popped the question in December and they have a date set for July 11, 2015.

Kira has now moved to Australia to prepare for a career teaching language arts, but will be  back for the holidays to make final preparations for her wedding.  Before she left in June, we sat down and designed a "Save the Date" card to send out to let everyone to remind them of the date.  With all of the new fun wedding stuff in the big annual catalog, it was fun to play with the "Bouquet Toss" set.  Since I knew that her main color was a coral color called "mandarin", I incorporated our Calypso Coral in both cards that I designed.  The first one I added a light green color, Pistachio Pudding, but she decided to wear navy for her engagement picture so we had to add a little navy to her final card.

Before she left for Australia, we completed 36 cards for her friends there.  So today I finished another 44  and am now waiting for the engagement picture and insert with wedding details.  I love the way the final card turned out with the addition of some gold accents from our Designer Series Paper, Gold Soirée. 

August Paper Pumpkin

The new Paper Pumpkin for August arrived and I couldn't wait to see what fun goodies were included.  This month the Stampin' Spot is Hello Honey and there are five small photopolymer stamps, four sayings and a small dot.  The sayings are " It's Your Birthday",  "Make Today A Good One", "You Are Seriously Amazing", and "To The Best Friend Ever".  There are four full sze cards with laser cut sayings for each plus another four sayings to use with regular cardstock.  Then there are four small notecards with laser cut shapes, stars and hearts, plus another four to use with more cardstock.  There are four matching colored envelopes for the regular cards as well as four cute small envelopes.  Each has the little buttons mounted with small brads and twine closing.

I made two of each of the cards and even when I make the other two sets, there will be tons of stuff left over to do other projects.   Paper Pumpkin has really gotten a lot better in the past several months and what is really exciting is that,once you are a Paper Pumpkin subscriber, you can get refills for some of the kits and even additional complete kits  on some months.  Here are pics of the projects I made today and the pile of leftovers still to be used.

Like to see more or know more about the kits.  Come to my Paper Pumpkin Crafts and Cocktails this coming Friday between 4 and 5:30 PM or Saturday between 10 and 11:30 AM.   You can sign up for individual months or give prepaid months as a gift.  It is so fun to see what new arrives in your mailbox each month.  Give me a call or  email for more info.  

 Oh, and if you sign up by September 10th, you get the first two months for half price.  

Workshop projects

At our recent convention, I received some wonderful cards in exchange for the cards which I made to swap.  At my hostess luncheons, I offered my wonderful ladies the chance to select some of the projects to make at upcoming workshops and classes.  So I chose two of them for my workshops this month.

The first one was by Kathy Duthie and featured one of our favorite large stamps, Hardwood.  It was stamped with Soft Suede on Sahara Sand for the background and then again with Whisper White craft ink on Sahara Sand with the Deco Labels framelit.  The Watercolor Thank You was stamped over the white ink with Soft Suede ink.  Then the Petite Petals were stamped, colored and punched out for the two corners and the leaves were punched with the Bird Builder punch.  It is such an easy and fun card.

 

The second card was designed by Mary Hodgman and uses our most popular hostess set from the annual idea book and catalog. It is called Bloom with Hope and has several beautiful flowers plus several great sentiments.  Mary used the popular Honycomb embossing folder on crushed curry and then stamped the large dictionary stamp on very vanilla cardstock.  Our new most popular Work of Art stamp set provided the background for the flower in crushed curry and Bermuda bay as well at the saying on the Decorative label punch. The Bloom with Hope flower is stamped and colored then a duplicate flower is added to add dimension.  It is such a happy card and my stamp club ladies loved the card.  

The Wild Cards stamp club was a very fun celebration of Barb Jewell's birthday.  Hostess, Dani Dunmire provided us with a wonderful dinner of spaghetti pie, corn with a wonderful butter spread and bread with the same butter spread of cilantro, butter, lime juice and cayenne pepper.  The dessert was two fold with strawberry, angel food kabobs drizzled in dark chocolate and a fun little tart of graham cracker crust, peanut butter cup and marsh mallow.  Barb got one with a candle on it.  Love my stamp clubs.  They are such fun awesome people.

The ladies enjoyed this months projects which where all from the Stampin' Up! convention.  The first one was one of our make and takes from convention.  We received the Kinda Eclectic set as one of our convention sets included in our registration fee.  It is now one of my favorite go to sets.  We got to make a fairly simple card and then stepped it up to a more difficult one.  I tried to go somewhere in between, but made both cards and let my stamp club members choose how to do their cards.  Here you see both the simple version and the step it up version.  You choose which one is your favorite.

When I did my monthly newsletter today, I added a new mini class next week.  Actually, it is two classes although you will do the same projects at each class.  When I was at convention last month, we had an opportunity to purchase some additional Paper Pumpkin goodies for last months kit, so I decided it would be a fun way to show everyone how much the kits have changed over the last year.  The two classes are free and are on Friday, August 22 for Crafts and Cocktails or Saturday morning, August 23 for Crafts and Coffeecake.  It seemed like just too long from Stampaholics last weekend to Simply Stampin' Lunch Bunch week after next.  I thought that this would be a fun way to get together and just play with friends and make a little something extra.  This gives everyone a look at what Paper Pumpkin has become, particularly since it is now available as a pre-order for one, three, six or twelve months and can be added to any workshop.  It's a great gift for that someone who wants to do a little papercrafting, but doesn't want to have to think too hard. 

Wonder what you might get to make?  Here are pics of the card and envelope and box with tag that I made.  There are lots of different sayings included so you can personalize them however you might like.  Hope you can make it.  I would appreciate it if you can let me know if you will be here as I have supplies for at least 20 people.

I promised to post pics of the other two projects that ladies were able to complete at my Hostess Appreciation Luncheons.  The first one was "cased" directly from Dawn Griffiths video of her mini pizza box with belly band holding four thank you notes and four envelopes made with the fabulous Envelope Punch Board.  It was so easy to make and was a real hit with the gang.  I used Crumb Cake cardstock with Early Espresso Ink.  The two stamping sets used were the Bordering Blooms and the Fabulous Four.  This would make a great teacher gift, secret pal or co-worker thank you.

 

The second project was my own design although I did use Dawn Olchefske's fun little jar card design.  The jar is made again with the Envelope Punch Board and the brand new For All Things stamp set in the soon to be released Holiday Mini Catalog.  I just love that same watercolor look that is in Work of Art, one of our most popular new sets in the big annual catalog.  I predict this set will be one of the most popular in the new mini.

It was another small group for tonight's Impression Obsession Wild Women stamp club. I think the heat is getting to people even though it was very cool at my house.  It was 102 degrees in Kelso.  Diane brought a wonderful Chicken Bacon Avocado salad, made from a Pinterest recipe and a yummy fruit salad plus garlic bread and strawberry cheesecake.  Thanks, Diane for being such a great hostess.

The ladies loved the two cards from convention swaps that I shared and the "Kinda Eclectic" convention make and take.  The extra credit this month is a fun way to use the leftover plastic containers from our buttons and trinkets that one of my downline gave me as a gift at convention.  I'll share them all later this week after my last stamp club gathering.

It was a small group for Stampaholics Anonymous today.  With so many stampers here for my luncheons, I knew that there would not be lots of people coming to play today, but I enjoyed playing with Connie, Wileen and Verna and sharing some of my luncheon and convention projects.  Wileen and Verna both wanted to make the Step Block card that Dawn Griffith had posted a video of on her website and that I enjoyed trying different Designer Series  for the accent pieces.  It is a somewhat complicated design and I had to watch her video twice and then make the card twice to figure it out.  I made a diagram of the card and did my own tutorial to make sure my stampers knew how to do it. Here is the picture of the finished project that everyone made at my luncheon.

 

It flattens out to go into an A-6 envelope which you can make with the Envelope punch board or buy from any stationery source.

Then we had to play with the new Box punch board that I used for my original punch board box project.  I had made the smallest one at convention during the mini make and takes and ended up with a box that was just 1 3/4" x 1 3/4" x 1 3/4".  For my Hostess luncheon project, I decided that I wanted to make a box that fit two layers of four tea light candles plus a few pieces of candy on top.  I originally planned on a 4" x 4" x 1 3/4" box thinking that would fit fairly well, but when I went to make it, I goofed on the starting point and ended up with a box that was a little smaller than I planned, but a perfect size for what I needed.  It was a real learning experience on how to use the new Box Punch Board.  It is going to be a fun tool to play with.  Here is a picture of three different sizes of boxes.  One is the smallest size, one is the largest size and one is the same size as my project.  When I decorated my box, I used the new Bright and Beautiful stamp set in the Holiday Mini, Lost Lagoon and Silver ribbon and the All is Calm Snowflake Embellishments.  Inside were eight tea lights wrapped with the All is Calm Designer Washi Tape and some candy.  It was a real hit with my stampers and will be a fun thing to share when the new catalog comes out.  Here are the pics of the boxes and the finished project for the luncheon.

 

Today was the second of my two annual Hostess Appreciation Luncheons.  Everyone who hosts a workshop in the past Stampin' Up! year is invited to come for food, fun, four special projects and first dibs on my retired stamps and accessories.  I had a nice group two weeks ago and another great group today.  I  always try to use one of our new stamp sets for the invitation and incorporate something I will be serving at the luncheons. This year's inspiration came from the new Cupcake Party stamp set on page 58 of our big annual catalog and a card that was posted from this past years Artisan designers.  I was able to find some cupcake papers very similar to the stamps and my wonderful caterer who is the daughter of one of my stamp club members was able to make fabulous tasty cupcakes just like my invitation.  Don't you think they look great?

The cupcakes were as good as they looked.  They were white cake with a yummy raspberry filling and buttercream frosting.  So good.

Everyone loved the projects they got to do so here is a picture of all four projects.  If you want to know more about them and who I cased some of them from, stay tuned and I will feature each one over the next several days with a little more information about how I created them.

August Thank You Notes

My August thank you notes and cards are designed and ready to go with my orders to be delivered, my August hostesses and others who help me out during the month.  This month, I had fun playing with the new photopolymer border sets which make wonderful borders so easily.  No need for a Stampamajig with these great stamps.  They line up perfectly when you overlay them as you can see everything through the blocks.  I used Stampin' Up!s Bordering Blooms set and the hostess set, Let Your Hair Down for this month's cards.  The design was inspired by the sunflowers in bloom in my garden.  Love the simplicity of the design and how quick they came together.  One of my big goals this year is to use as much of my hoard of retired products as I can so the two ribbons in Daffodil Delight are ones from my retired stockpile.  I love the little 3" x 3" notes as they are so quick to do.  Maybe you will be the recipient of one of my cards this month.

After Founder's Circle

Wednesday, October 2, 2013

After Founder's Circle

It's hard to believe that I have been back from Founder's Circle for over a week.  Time just gets away from me.  I've done several workshops, two classes and a group meeting and I'm still trying to put away the 120 swaps and piles of gifts that Stampin' Up! showered on us.  For those who follow me on Facebook, you saw some of the pics that I shared.  The weather was fantastic, the tour of Kanab, our production facility, so informative and all of the sharing events so wonderful.  One of the highlights of the trip was attendance at an ourdoor production of Mary Poppins complete with gorgeous Red Rock cliffs and great fireworks.  I made some new friends and look forward to sharing some of the many new projects that I brought back.

This Sunday is Stampaholics Anonymous and I will have lots of things to share with you all.  There will also be some fun Trick or Trick goodies to create and lots of envelopes to make with the new Envelope Maker.  Hope you can join me.

If you want to check out all of the new goodies that SU has put on the Clearance Rack in the last several weeks go to the shopping section of my website and have fun.  If you plan to place an order this month outside of the regular stamp clubs or workshops, the hostess code for October is 7474VR2N.  Enter that when you place your order and you will be entered into a drawing for a special gift or even free product if the orders total more than $150.

Here are some of the pics from Founder's Circle.  I will have the projects for the featured Suite of the Month on my blog in the next week.  The featured Suite of the Month is Etcetera on page 96 and 97 of the annual catalog.
