It’s a Cherry Cobbler Christmas

Hi Friends! I hope you had a super great weekend! I know I sure did!

I wanted to share with you the two cards my stamping friends are going to make tonight at my first Christmas Stamp-a-Stack Class of the season! I didn’t intend to do both cards using Cherry Cobbler blendabilities, but I somehow either loaned, or lost, my circle framelits, so I had to come up with another card quick. (if you borrowed them please let me know as I am losing my mind over it!) thanks.

The cardinal card was a “CASE” (Copy And Share Everything) from another talented demonstrator named Pam (I goggled her and found her facebook page called Pam’s Paper Playhouse). I made some slight changes to use the products I had available for the class. Both cards feature our new blendabilities (alcohol markers) and boy, do they just make all the difference in the world! The Joyful Christmas poinsetta stamp set will retire for good on Wednesday August 27th, sniff, sniff … so I had to use it one more time.

Here are the supplies I used to make the cardinal card:

 

 

 

I did make a “mask” using a post-it note of the cardinal, so when I sponged the Lost Lagoon ink all over the whisper white paper, I didn’t want it on the bird.  It was really fun to make this card, I hope my friends like it too. Thanks to Pam for creating such a great masterpiece!

 

Next up is my favorite stamp set from the 2013 Holiday Catalog, and it has been on the “Carry Over List” and will retire on Wednesday August 27th. Here’s the list if you want to see what else is going away (there is a super nice Hanukkah stamp set in there!)    Carry-Over Holiday List

Here are the supplies I used for this card:

 

 

 

My Christmas Card Stamp-a-Stack is the last Monday of the month from now to Thanksgiving. It is 10 cards per night, for $20 and as you can see there are two designs, stampers will make 5 of each one. I have room in the September, October and November class, so if you’d like to sign up- contact me for registration information. RSVP and payment is required at least 5 days before the event.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today, and if you need to purchase any of these, or any other items, please remember to use the August Hostess Code if you do online shopping with me: YA7CNZND
(this will save you on shipping costs and it will come directly to you!)
Have a great day!

It’s such an exciting time to be a demonstrator, and getting a head’s up about some great deals is certainly appreciated, right?? As always- please let me know if you have any questions!

Are you like me and have tons of photos and boxes of photos all over the house? And, I bet you have hundreds, if not thousands, of photos on your phone, camera or sitting on your computer, am I right? Well, if so, and if you’d like to do something about it- I am a total fan of our newest addition- Project Life! You might have noticed these items in retail stores, but Becky Higgins has partnered with Stampin’ Up! for some exclusive items and I have been using them to create my niece’s Graduation gift (it’s not a secret- don’t worry). I have plans to make many more of these fun albums and would love to have you over or plan a “Crop” where we can all work on our albums together, doesn’t that sound like fun?? Let me know when you want to try it!
Blendabilities Bundle Deal Lynn’s Blendy Buddies Bundle Deal!  (I’ll be honest, this one was not in the SU updates, but it was a newsletter I sent out to my customers yesterday, and I wanted you to be able to see my current offer- in case you’re like me and couldn’t begin to pick a few colors out to start with. I have to say that I have used these markers repeatedly and I don’t have a favorite color yet… they color so beautifully.) Stop back on Friday for a sneak peek of my July Club cards- the ladies will be coloring their little hearts out and they will be making 3 cards with blendabilities!)

Well- now you know how I feel- overwhelmed, right?? Sorry about that, but I really wanted you all to have this information. And I hope to stamp with you soon!

I’m so very thankful that you’ve visited me today and I am here to help you with all these tough decisions! Some of them are rather time sensitive (the Dear Heart will likely sell out as quickly as Sweetie Pie stamp set did).

Thanks for stopping by my blog today, I hope you are not sweltering too much and I hope you get some crafty time soon!
