Check out this adorable pair of baby shoes. They are made with the new Nursery Suite Specialty Designer Series Paper (117165). I have soooo many pictures of terrific ideas. I should be able to share creative ideas and project inspiration like this for some time.

Fabulous Fabric Idea!

2010-07-23T22:16:47-07:00

Isn't this the cutest pillow? It's a denim square with a few fabric ruffles with ribbon trim and a row of the cutest fabric flowers layered together with button centers. This was created by one of the Artisan Award Winners. I have a ton more samples to show you as soon as I get them all downloaded from my camera. Check back to see more tomorrow!

Earn More Free Goodies

2010-07-22T21:58:41-07:00

More swapping this morning before general session. I'll show you some of those later. I also got to walk across stage to be recognized for my milestone achievement of $100 K career sales, and my upline Julie did the same for her $300 K career sales. (Of course we already had gotten our cash bonuses and pinsearlier in the year.) My stampin' sister Lori celebrated her 10th year anniversary as a demonstrator with a walk across stage too. We also did some adorable make & take projects, and attended a couple of classes. But the BIG NEWS is an upcoming hostess promotion.

From July 27th - August 31st hostesses with a $350 workshop will get an additional $25 in free product in addition to the regular hostess benefits. That's $65 of free goodies!! Contact me soon to get your workshop scheduled in order to take advantage of this great offer!

Isn't this a beautiful vinatge card?

And how about this one?

And this one is pretty cool too!

These are all samples from some demonstrations that we watched. Let me know if there is a special style or technique that you want to learn at your workshop. Talk to you soon!

Convention Update

2010-07-21T22:00:43-07:00

What a fun day at Convention! After Check-in, we did some card swapping before we headed to Riverton to check out the Stampin' Up! Distribution Center. What an amazing facility! After returning to the Salt Palace Convention Center, we did some shopping at the Stampin' Up! Memento Mall where we bought all kinds of goodies including new SU! logowear. Then it was time for a little learning as I attended a couple of classes in the afternoon. Very educational. I can't wait to share when I get back. Then it was out for dinner at the California Pizza Kitchen, and some relaxation time getting a pedicure! We ended the night with Stampin' Up!'s Flower Power Party. Check out the photos below and don't forget to check back for more Convention updates!

Here is the package that I got a really cool Simply Adorned bracelet in as a gift from my upline. My photo of the bracelet didn't turn out so you'll have to see that later, but the packaging was just as cute.

The samples that the Stampin' Up! artists create are truly amazing.

These look good enough to eat! Yes, this is cardstock, people...

Here is where your Stampin' Up! orders are filled and shipped. Isn't it lovely?

I have to head to bed now if I'm going to make it through the fun-filled day tomorrow. Check back to see what's happening at Convention the rest of the week....

Another Wedding Wednesday

2010-06-23T01:51:00-07:00

These elegant wedding favors are so easy to make. If you have ever rolled up a piece of paper to make a megaphone, or curled your program out of boredom at a not so entertaining event - you can make these! Just cut scallop circles from cardstock in one of your wedding colors using a Big Shot Die Cut Machine (113439) and the Scallop Circle Die (113468). Stamp desired images or names and wedding date on the circle before curling it around into a cone shape. Use a strong adhesive such as Sticky Strip (104294) so your cones won't come undone. Pictured are white almonds wrapped in white netting and tied with a black satin ribbon. You could use nuts, mints, or event those colored M&Ms that you can get in your wedding colors. The best part about making these favors is that you can save time by cutting several at once with the Big Shot! The photo shows Real Red cardstock stamped in Basic Black Classic Ink using the stamp set Wedding Sweet (115466). Click here to order any of the supplies to create this project or contact me at jj@getyourstampsout.com or 309-341-0716.

"Mint To Be" Wedding Favor

2010-06-16T02:13:00-07:00

So how cute is that? And it's very easy to make to boot! Have a Stampin' Up! personalized stamp made that says "Mint to be." (Or you can use your computer if your printer will print on white cardtock.) Punch the verse out with a 1-1/4" circle punch. Use an accent color card stock to punch out a 1-3/8" circle to layer under the white. Finally, punch out 2 black card stock scallop circles. Layer them on either side of a chocolate covered mint patty. Print a label for the back thanking your wedding guests for sharing in your special day or giving your new address. Click here to see Stampin' Up!'s punch selection and order your punches to create these stinkin' cute wedding favors!

Wedding Time Capsule

2010-06-09T02:49:00-07:00

This is a fun way to preserve some wedding treasures like an inviation and program, garter, flower petals, a candle, a favor, DVD and even special jewelry or a small purse. It's just an empty paint can that you can get at any hardware store. Decorate it with Stampin' Up!'s Bride Designer Series Specialty Paper with white organdy and satin ribbon for the handle. I used my Sizzix Big Shot for SU! to cut the scallop cirlces and letters, and I used SU!'s Heart to Heart punch for the red hearts of various sizes. Use a good adhesive like Sticky Strip for a project like this because you definately don't want this baby coming apart. If you are interested in ordering any of the supplies to create a wedding time capsule like this one, you must act quickly. Stampin' Up! is getting ready to introduce a new Idea Book & Catalog, so many current products will be retiring soon. Click on the highlighted product above to view product deatils and order.
