Making progress :)

Convention Sales gifts

I just had to share that I've made a ton of progress getting caught up.  In the past 48 hours I've…..ordered all the free stamp sets that were earned through my Reward Card Punch program. Sent downline gifts & free Chic Stands….answered a ton of emails and even finished the free gift I was offering during Convention (I had said I was mailing them mid August but they are going out early).  I've even started the free cards for August 🙂

The picture above is of the Free make n take I was offering while I was at Convention and the picture below is of the August thank you cards.

August 2010 cards

My next picture is kinda funny….. but I thought some of you would appreciate it :)  This is what we use to wet envelopes (you know instead of licking them).  I get help from friends and downline girls and that means a lot of hands are touching this stuff….so instead of licking the envelopes….I put some water in a button container and use a foam brush to wet the envelopes.  I know back in the old days when I worked …there was some tool you could buy…but why spend money if you already have these items in your possession?

Tomorrow I'm going to show share a project using a new stamp set out of the Holiday Mini Catalog.  I'm super excited because I won the stamp set at Convention during the Flower Power Party and I LOVE it!!!  I hope everyone likes it…..& maybe we'll get more sets like it :)   A quick note about the Holiday Mini….if you're on my customer list, you should receive the mini catalog before it goes live September 1st.

Have a great day!!

August 2010 Thank you card with Chic n Scratch

Thank you

My card today uses the Engraved Greetings stamp set with the new 2 3/8 Scallop Circle Punch.  I like this card so much I decided to make it my thank you card for the month of August.  This card features Pumpkin Pie but I have a whole variety of them using the Patterns Designer Paper Stack with the Taffeta Ribbon.

Anyone that places a Stampin' Up! order with me during the month of August will receive one of these cards in the mail (cards are blank on the inside so you can re-use them in the future). 

I've filmed a video on how I made the card, click here if you'd like to head over to my Chic n Scratch Live! website to view it.

Swap Cards from Convention

Flower Thank you

My pictures today are of some swaps that I was able to photograph. I was very lucky to have a few friends & downline girls let me take pictures of theirs!!   I also owe a thanks to everyone that gave me a free card… Stampin' Up! Demonstrators are some of the kindest people you'll ever meet!!

I'm not sure how the flower was made…I think she punched several of the new Scallop Circle punch and then layered them… I'll try to figure it out real soon!

Baby congrats

Both of these cards are super cute but …. I didn't personally swap with these ladies so I don't have the recipe. I'll try to look the info up when our family leaves and update this post with the details.

Thanks for stopping by!!

Yesterday I said I would start loading Convention photos but when I was working on adding my watermark it came to me that some of the product can't be shown until August 1st.  A bunch of my pictures are of the Holiday Mini and after August 1st I'll share them.  I even won a new stamp set during Prize Patrol & I can't wait to show you!!!!

VIP NOTE:  I have access to email & phone but I'm out of my office.  We have family in for a visit and I can check email & answer the phone but I'm not in my office. Don't hesitate to call me if you need something or email me if you don't have my cell number (if you can't reach me at home).

Every Little Bit stamp set

Big time thanks pup

I love the Every Little Bit stamp set!!  Everyone that knows me knows I love little images that will fit in a small circle…this stamp set is perfect for that!! 

After I made this card I realized I should have stamped the dog again, cut him out and popped him up…but don't we always come up with a better idea after we make something?

I used A Word for You stamp set for the greeting and that's another stamp set that will be popular this year…the font is beautiful!!

When I'm creating…I'm always try another version…just to see if I can make it better…here's the pumped up version (although it's still very simple) using the Aviary stamp set.

Aviary thanks

I'm not sure why…but I love this card…so much so…I'm going to film a video.  It may take several attempts ..my doggies are happy to see me and they've been barking all morning.

Convention & Engraved Greetings

Happy bday

Here's another card made with the Engraved Greetings stamp set. I don't use the color red very often ….. but now that we have Poppy Parade, Cherry Cobbler & Riding Hood Red I've decided to get busy using them….they are all so pretty!!

This card was made with the Poppy Parade & I used the Poly Stitched Ribbon.

Now for some Convention 2010 buzz……

Today was day 1 and it was packed with lots of fun!!  We got our bags, went shopping at  Momento Mall …lots of stuff in between.  I posted the laptop on my facebook page…did you see it?

Here's a picture (sorry about the lighting…I took this pic with my cell phone).

Laptop bag

One of the things I'm super excited is I won a free stamp set at the Flower Power Party (it's my most favorite stamp set in the brand new Holiday Mini …can't tell you the name just yet….but in a few weeks I will show you some samples.  It's the first time I've won something since Convention in Orlando (can't remember what year it was but it's been a long time!!)

Gotta run ….. it's 12:30 here in Utah, 1:30am back in Kansas.  Have a good night or morning 🙂

Growing Green stamp set

Thankful thoughts

I just love this card!!  So much so ….. that it's one of my swaps for Convention & it was this months card for Stamp Club & it's the Card of the Week #11.

River Rock has been one of my favorite Stampin' Up! colors and I was so happy when it returned to our Color Collection … and it goes great with Early Espresso.  You can add Dazzling Diamonds Glitter to the card and make it really pop.  (I didn't do that with my swaps….I'd have it all over me for days.)

The greeting "thankful thoughts of you" is one of the images in the Grateful Greetings stamp set

I've filmed a video and click here if you'd like to check it out on my Chic n Scratch Live! website. 

Here's three more versions….click on the images to view them larger.

Engraved Greetings

Poppy birthday

I love the Engraved Greetings stamp set and you're going to see me use this set a lot!! The stamp set is on page 182 of the Stampin Up! Idea Book & Catalog and it includes Happy Birthday & Thank you.  

I used one of the brand new colors – Poppy Parade with the Finial Press Embossing Folder.  The Stitched Poly Ribbon is so awesome …. I wish we had it in every color!!

Starting today…. my life is going to be crazy. I have a million things to do before I leave for Convention.  I'll check my email as often as I can…but …… If you don't hear from me….please know I will answer it as fast as I can.  I have some posts ready to go and I will have a little special incentive for ordering & I'll start that tomorrow….so make sure you check back.

Aviary Thanks

  Bird thanks

My card today is pretty simple but I love making quick easy cards!!

The Aviary stamp set is the perfect set to use with the clear blocks.  I stamped all these birds without needing to get my Stamp a ma jig out.   From left to right, the colors I used were Cherry Cobbler, Peach Parfait, Not Quite Navy & Pear Pizzazz.

How did I come up with those colors?   Normally I just wing it … but this time I used the Color Coach on page 165 of the Idea Book & Catalog…… I knew when I saw it on the cruise earlier this year I knew it was going to be a tool I could use! 

Here's how I used it …I knew I wanted to use Pear Pizzazz …but since I had already made an aviary card using that color I wanted to go another route.  So I looked on the back of all the colors I listed and found a combo I liked best.

The "thanks" came from the Fabulous Phrases stamp set on page 149.

Have a great day!!
