Paper Crafting Blog Hop Meant To Be

February 19, 2020February 19, 202018 Comments

I hope you are enjoying our Sale-A-Bration themed Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators Blog Hop. Fellow demonstrators from all over the globe are participating so we have a wide array of fun projects to share with you! You may have arrived from Maureen’s blog. She had a fabulous project!

I picked the Sale-A-Bration designer Series Paper Lily Impressions and used a lot of it! A mat, for punching and a layer are all from the same package. The Sale-A-Bration Small Blossom punch is tucked under the bow.

This time next week you could have a sugar high

Carol’s is hosting us at her place for the Card Buffet and Scrapbook events. She is providing festive valentine’s cookies and refreshments. Would you like to join us for a sugar and paper crafting high? We will be getting our fingers inky from 2-4pm on Sunday, February 9th at Carol’s. I’ll also host a session at my house on Wednesday, February 19th, 9-11am. Please consider attending a session!

Please preorder your cards as beautiful day, happy birthday, for you

pre-order as heart, perfume, bees

Card Buffet stampers create 10 hand stamped greeting cards with all supplies cut according to the samples provided and tucked into the envelopes. You pick which designs to create and how many of each design from the photos above. Pre-order your cards and get an extra kit for a total of 11 kits. Cost is $20 to get inky fingers with us!

Three scrapbook layouts will be available and by rsvp only. Themes are vintage, friends and snowpeeps (see 2 of the 3 layouts at the bottom of this post). Cost is $25 with you providing your own adhesives. A perk of being a member of my Super Awesome Stampers team is that the layouts are only $15.

Adhesives are $5 extra for card making or bring your own. I’ll have new packages of glue dots, dimensionals, liquid glue, tear n tape and SNAIL for sale as well.

You are welcome to bring friends! A new friend that has not stamped with me before earns you an extra card kit. If you are a member of my Super Awesome Stampers team, you get an extra card kit too.

I reserve the right to cancel the session if less than 3 stampers RSVP.

Please RSVP by noon on Friday, February 7th so I have enough time to prepare kits for you. Please let me know when you RSVP if you are interested in the Card Buffet or scrapbook layouts or both.

Would you like a private session with your group? Just ask for dates!

Hope to stamp with you then!

Here are 2 of the 3 scrapbook layouts. I have to keep the third layout a secret since I’ll be using it for a blog hop post.

Card Buffet Kits in the Mail

January 28, 2020April 11, 2020Leave a comment

Staying Safer at Home means that in person Card Buffet events are on hold. Instead, I would like to offer Kits in the Mail to keep us all stamping.

Each package will contain 5 different designs. Substitutions of designer series papers, ribbons and embellishments may be made within a design. So you might not get exactly the same pieces in all the kits.

Each kit will have the papers cut according to the sample, embossed if needed, punch shapes included, die cuts ready for assembly and ribbons cut to length. A list of stamp sets used in the samples will be provided. Kits will not contain any stamped images.

I am working on designs and hope to have them posted by Tuesday, April 14th. The designs will be available for order through April 30th.

Cost is based on the number of cards in the kit:

10 cards with envelopes, 2 each of 5 designs is $20

20 cards with envelopes, 4 each of 5 designs is $35

40 cards with envelopes, 8 each of 5 designs is $60

Pricing above is for Porch Pick Ups from my house if you are local to me in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin. Priority Rate USPS shipping is additional and based on the quantity ordered.

To place your order, click the Contact button above. Let me know how many cards in your order and the delivery option. Payment is via Paypal. Thank You!

Hope this new option keeps you stamping!

Paper Crafting Blog Hop Small Bloom Punch

January 15, 2020January 15, 202016 Comments

I picked the Golden Honey Specialty designer series paper as my second Sale-A-Bration pick instead of getting the coordinating stamp set for the Small Bloom punch. So I needed to use a stamp set I already had on my shelf to create color in the bloom punched shapes. The splotchy images are in the Painted Poppies stamp set.
