Many Thanks!!

November 17, 2014 Lynnzcrafters

I counted over 25 of my wonderful customers, friends and family who came out to see me this weekend. The Craft Fair at Trinity Presbyterian was a great hit! I was next to Sam’s Jam’s and enjoyed her yummy treats, there were some unique hand made gifts and everyone had a great time. Thank you for those who came out!

I had my new handy cart with a bin full of retired stamps. I had been going through my retired stamps last week looking for a “bucket” stamp for a friend, and couldn’t find it, and it gave me the idea to sell these retired items at my craft fairs.

My best sellers were: Penguin, Rudolf and Santa treat boxes, Chap Stick holders, Santa’s Magic Key, cardinal candles, dry erase boards, and retired stamps.

Yesterday I was Rexford Firehouse again, wowza, it was huge- so many talented people.

My best sellers were: Rudolf, Santa and Penguin treat boxes (sold out by 1:30 pm), mini purses (full of Hershey’s kisses), Santa’s Magic Key, my handmade cards were a hit (I whipped up 24 cards on Saturday night so I was sure to have Thanksgiving and Christmas cards), and my mini coffee cups. (I made these up Saturday night too).

Mark Your Calendar: Sunday 11/30

Blendabilities Alcohol Markers are now available! I am so excited the wait is over! My July club ladies are going to enjoy coloring with these awesome new markers!!

Earlier this spring, Stampin Up allowed demonstrators to purchase the Blendabilities Alcohol Markers on pre-release. I love these markers and I must say, they are really fabulous as well as cost friendly. When I compared them to other alcohol markers I was very impressed.

Blendabilities are dual tipped one end is a fine point and the other is a brush tip, the colors are vibrant and rich, Stampin Up has pulled out all the stops with this one.

Stampin Up has equipped the Blendabilities with the best features of other markers into one marker. They have also taken the guess work out of trying to find like color shades that will allow me to get that progressive blend from dark to light or light to dark.

With the Blendabilities you will get 3 coordinating shades of one color for each color group. If you have the Cherry Cobbler Ink, Card Stock and ribbon you now can color an image using the Cherry Cobbler Alcohol markers to blend your image, it will come in dark, medium and light shades all for 11.95. Yes, that’s 3 markers for $11.95!

If you are familiar with the other alcohol markers out there you know that they run about $7-$8 for one marker. With Blendabilities you will get 3 coordinating shades of each color group, that’s 3 alcohol markers in dark, medium and light.

Stampin Up has released the markers for sale to customers, beginning today, July 1st!

I look forward to sharing craft and card ideas using these fabulous markers.

Here is an awesome new flyer with all the details about our new Blendabilities: Blendabilities Flyer

Stamping Sisters are Amazing!

May 4, 2014 Lynnzcrafters

Have you ever had a moment when you are truly surprised, and overwhelmed, and feel more blessed than you think you deserve?? These moments are very rare for me (the surprise part)… I feel blessed every day to have such amazing and loving family and friends and am especially thankful for all the new friends I have made in the years that I have been stamping. Becoming a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator was at first a “scary” decision, but my only regret was not signing up years earlier! Who knew that I would be blessed by knowing such generous, amazing people!

So, unbeknownst to me, several of my downline, my upline, and my sidelines (who I have been helping with their blogs), they decided to create a one of a kind card- it is so much more than a card- it is a work of love and art- and I will treasure it always… Karyn Morrison organized the group with directions and pieces that they completed by mail, as one of my downline was in Florida for the winter (hi Judy) and another was on the road with her hubby and their trucking business (hi Kim), and they all chipped in and gifted me not only with this beautiful card, but also two very generous gift cards that I am going to enjoy using at convention this summer. I am still blown away that you ladies did this for me, and that Karyn hand delivered it to me on Wednesday, so that April- my 50th birth-month, was truly complete. (Yes, that is the cafeteria at Schenectady County Community College- Karyn met me after work, before my part time job- teaching at SCCC).

Karyn even made a special box (thank you envelope punch board!)

The theme of the card was the 2013-15 In Colors and Owl Builder punch by Stampin’ Up!

Each segment is so unique and sweet and special and amazing, just like the ladies who created them!

I cannot thank you enough Karyn, Dania, Jamie, Kim, Judy, Amye, Jan, and Pam!! You are so talented, generous and I love you all!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!

Well, I have more to blog about- it was a busy busy weekend, but I’m saving more for tomorrow, so come back and visit me, okay? Leave a comment, would you? I love hearing from my readers! What did you work on this weekend?

Have a great day!

These little chocolate filled purses were a big hit!

I was so thrilled that my little mini coffee cups (aka Bunny cups) were such a big hit- I sold out of these guys again, and really enjoyed everyone’s delight in these little sweets.

I had a nice spot in the middle of the room, surrounded by new friends!

April Diva Day was Divine!

April 13, 2014 Lynnzcrafters

Good morning friends!
Yesterday was such a blast! I had my club ladies in the morning (you saw those cards yesterday), thanks for the yummy cinnamon scones Patty, they were a delicious morning treat. And speaking of treats, thanks for the chocolate dipped peeps Amye, I don’t know if Claire and Ethan’s will make it until Easter, lol. You gals are so sweet! thanks!

After my club, I headed up to Ballston Spa because I earned another Diva Day with my upline Deb Valder! You know me by now, I love to earn free Stampin’ Up! products, who doesn’t, right? Thanks so much Deb!
Well look at all the goodies we earned and the great projects we made!! Deb designed this 31 Bag knock-off, how adorable is this?? We used the Modern Medley DSP and the Springtime Hello stamp set on all 6 cards. It was a lot of fun, and I think the pictures say it all:

Candy dots, doilies, buttons, ribbon, DSP, shaker frames, and all the supplies to make our fun projects!

everything coordinated so nicely!

I just loved this little 31 bag knock-off!! Do you know a 31 Bag Rep who might like me to make some of these for her hostess gifts? Please feel free to share my contact info with anyone who might like these bags. So easy to make! The inside has nice finished edges, this bag will be perfect for gift giving- and handmade cards fit very nicely inside!!

All six cards are unique and different- and we didn’t put any sentiments inside, perfect for when you need a card in a hurry!

Does this look like fun to you? I am thinking of turning this into a class… what do you think? I am going to crunch some numbers to see how I could offer this as a class, it will help me to know if YOU are interested in taking this class. Let me know!

I also want to let you know, we still have our $99 starter kit special- if you join my team, you get to pick $125 dollars of Stampin’ Up! products and shipping is FREE! I would love for you to join my team! My next Lynnzcrafters get together is going to be Friday April 25th and I am going to do an MDS lesson, (that’s My Digital Studio software for short). Would love to welcome you aboard!

Have a great day! Thanks for stopping by to read my blog today!

April Club Cards

April 12, 2014April 11, 2014 Lynnzcrafters

How was your week? I hope you all enjoyed the spring weather, finally! I’m thrilled to finally be getting back outside and started walking again.

I had activities every night this week and finally sat down last night to plan and start preparations for my club this month- nothing like cutting it close, whew.

I did some case-ing (again), I was so inspired by some awesome cards by fellow demonstrators in our local Stampin’ Up! group.

This first card was one we made last Sunday at our team get-together. The creators were Cathy K and Mary Beth W. Didn’t they do an awesome job? I love the watercolor paper- it holds up so nicely when you use the aqua painters.

This second card was inspired by a card that the ever talented Jean Hall brought for our sharing table. I loved how she used the new woodgrain big background stamp, embossed it in early espresso, and turned it into the flower pot. So cut and easy. Know how to turn it into a flower pot? Use the biggest oval framelit to get that curved edge on the bottom, then slice off the sides at the angle you want. Pretty easy.

The third card for my April club ladies is one that I designed, I really wanted to use the Trefoil Cross (single stamp in the Annual Catalog). I pulled some Wisteria Wonder DSP from my retired stash, it really made the card complete. I love doilies, don’t you?

This card could be easily turned into confirmation, first holy communion, sympathy, wedding, thinking of you, or pastor appreciation card.

I have a busy weekend planned, how about you? Any stamping plans? Hey- I have a favor to ask you- could you let me know what handmade item you would be likely to purchase at a craft fair? I have limited time and so many ideas, but I want to narrow it down to what people might be most interested in.
Don’t forget next Saturday is the Relay for Life Fundraiser at the Saratoga Holiday Inn on corner of Rt 9 and Rt 50 in Saratoga Springs. Hope to see you there!

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today!

Hudson Falls Craft Fair/Vendor Event Success!

April 7, 2014April 6, 2014 Lynnzcrafters

This was my set up Saturday, we were in an awesome room in the American Legion in Hudson Falls. I had 2 eight foot tables for my space and got to know the vendors around me, they were so sweet, it was an awesome event!

this is a close up of some of the craft items I made to sell, they were a big hit. the little bunny cups were full of Easter candy.

This is the raffle basket I did in my booth, and the winner was Betty Alexander, it was so funny I was trying to call her, little did I know she was still in the Legion’s lounge, but by the time she got my message she had to come back and get her prize. Congratulations Betty!

Another view of my craft items for sale.

The cards were also a big hit, I do need to remember to bring more sentiments for the inside of the cards. Several men commented that “there’s too much white space, I don’t want to write that much”… I had a good chuckle, mental note- bring more phrases to insert in the cards for the next event.

I have two more Vendor Events this month. Both are fundraisers for causes that are near and dear to my heart.

**On Saturday April 19th I will be at the Relay for Life fundraiser at the Holiday Inn in Saratoga Springs. As a cancer survivor, I am proud to help raise funds for this event.

**On Thursday April 26th from 5-8 pm at Miranda Real Estate Group on Altamont Avenue in Rotterdam, I will have a booth and this is a fundraiser for the Albany Medical Center’s Children’s Hospital. Come out and help support two wonderful causes.

Please share with your friends and family! I will be doing more give-aways too!

Thanks for reading my blog, have a great day!

Spring Banner Blast

April 6, 2014 Lynnzcrafters

The other night I had a small group of stampers over, (at my last team get together my team asked if I would do a spring banner class- don’t worry, I will repeat in case anyone else wants to make one too- let me know). Here’s how they did- aren’t they so sweet?? Love every single one of these, I think they are awesome!

Here’s Jamie with her banner, (hope I’m not spoiling the surprise by showing the photo on my blog, forgive me Jamie if this was supposed to be a secret).

This is Shayna holding her beautiful banner, can you see the cute doilies on the top of each letter? I think it’s just adorable with these doilies!

Here is Danielle and she wanted to personalize her banner by having the banner bases only in pink and yellow, and you know what- that’s what I’m all about- I WANT all my stampers/customers/friends/downline to ALWAYS create something they love- I don’t want carbon copies of mine (unless you love it and want it to be the same)- I work hard to ensure people always know they can customize their projects.

That being said, here is Amye- who wanted to make one just like mine (notice the elegant bird die on top of the banners- it is on the clearance rack, so I was comfortable using this die). Amye is the only one who incorporated the birds. Like I said, it should be a personal choice, I know lots of people who don’t care for birds.

This was my banner, I cased the idea from Pinterest, from a gal named Dawn T, and I loved the Gingham Garden color pallet she used, and all the scallop flowers made from the big shot were just the perfect finishing touches.

So what do you think? Do you want to make a SPRING banner? This is a time intensive class, I will need to do some more prep so if you are interested, please contact me at LStreifert@nycap.rr.com I can only accommodate 8 people in my stamp room at a time. This would be a $20 class and would include snacks, beverages, and all the supplies to make an awesome banner. I could do another class on April 27th, a Sunday afternoon, that is my first opportunity, if that doesn’t work, let me know- I can do another one later that week.

Have an awesome day, thanks for stopping by to read my blog!

Lynnzcrafters Team Get Together was Fun!

March 23, 2014 Lynnzcrafters

Good Morning Stamping Friends!

I hope you are having a wonderful weekend! I wanted to show you some photos of my Lynnzcrafter’s Team get together on Friday night.

We enjoyed chatting about the latest Stampin’ Up! announcements, updates and catalog launch party coming up next month.

I prepared supplies for them to make squares for an Easter Framed Art 5×7″ piece and cute bunny treat container:

Here is Amye hard at work making her 2″ squares, they came out awesome!

Amye decided on Smoky Slate textured card stock for her background, it kind of blends in with the table, but how sweet is this??

Wendy and Jamie also changed theirs up a little bit too, I LOVE it when stampers put their own spin on their projects, and make them uniquely their own.

Here is Wendy’s version of the Easter sampler. I unfortunately didn’t get a photo of Jamie’s squares, sorry!

In case you missed my original framed art piece, two of which were swap squares (the bunny by Wendy and the chick in the egg by Dania).

This cute bunny treat holder (made with the adorable mini coffee cups that I bought a ton of last fall) is a case from another demonstrator, named Susan Campfield. Isn’t is so adorable? The ladies filled their cups with Hershey’s kisses. Yum!

I wanted to end with a little update about anyone interested in joining Stampin’ Up! We all received a clarifying email the other day regarding recruiting new demonstrators. Due to clarification on the recruiting policies, I wanted to state that I will not be adding any additional incentives above and beyond the $99 Starter Kit special. I love being a demonstrator and don’t want my enthusiasm for finding friends to join my team to be interpreted as breaking the Stampin’ Up! policies. My apologies for any confusion I may have caused.

If you were thinking of joining Stampin’ Up! we do have a lot of fun, you receive at least 20% off all your orders (or 20% commission on your sales), I host a monthly stamping get together at my house, we have other stamping get togethers with my uplines, we get a free catalog in advance from others, we have an exclusive website for demonstrators only (full of images and projects other demos share), opportunity to earn free products, and much much more. I give my downline a discount on any of my classes or events, should they chose to attend. I also loan out stamps, punches, dies and materials to my downline for their crafting classes and projects.

So if that sounds like fun to you, there’s just one more week left on our $99 starter kit special. That’s right, only $99 but you pick out $150 in products, and no shipping! You also receive catalogs, order forms and business supplies to help you get started.

I would love to welcome more friends to my team, let me know if you’re interested! Thanks so much for visiting my blog today, have a wonderful Sunday!!

Lynn
