Stamp To The Max! January Blog Hop!

Happy 2013 and welcome to my blog!  You arrived here after checking out Elizabeth's creation.

I hope that you and yours had a very Merry Christmas and New Year! Our home was pretty quiet, but enjoyable just the same. Our fur babies were spoiled very nicely!

I am excited to share this card with you. It features products from the NEW Spring catalog and the Sale-A-Bration brochure! There are some great new items! If you would like a catalog, please let me know. Anyway... this card is doing double duty. I am using it for this months blog hop and a swap I am participating in. I apologize for the photo - it was not done in my photo cube.

I love the vivid color combinations on this card. I went light on embellishments as the paper is pretty busy. I also lined the inside of the card with Whisper White - something my upline recommends. Enjoy!

All items are Stampin' Up!

Paper: Tangerine Tango, Island Indigo and Whisper White Card Stock, Sycamore Street DSP (NEW!)
Ink: Tangerine Tango and Pool Party

Stamp to the MAX Holiday Blog Hop - December

Hello All ! 

I hope that you and yours had a lovely Thanksgiving! Ours was too quiet for my taste and I made waaaay too much food - but it was still nice.

Thank you for visiting the next stop on the hop! You have just come from the blog of the amazing Martha Haddock. I always like her style! This month we were tasked with making a holiday themed gift. Mine is a decoration and I love it so much, I am gifting it to me! :)

This took me some time but was really quite easy. I used my favorite Christmas DSP and the Blossom Petals Builder Punch. I curled the edges with a pen and used a lot of sticky strip! Toward the top - the petals were to big to leave the same size so I hand cut them down. I used a glue pen to hit the petals a bit and poured the glitter on. Of course after I did this, I realized that the Dazzling Details might have been easier! Unfortunately the glitter doesn't show well on the camera.

Supplies used are all Stampin' Up! unless noted. 

• 12" Chip Board Cone - Not SU
• Candlelight Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper
• Sticky Strip
• Blossom Petals Builder Punch
• 3 1/2" Scallopped Tulle Ribbon in Cherry Cobbler
• Two-Way Glue Pen
• Dazzling Details Glitter

Please continue on our December Blog Hop to the next stop of Stephanie Bradley! You are sure to be inspired!

I am SO buying this!

Have you considered purchasing a Big Shot but didn't want to spend the money? Well, it's on sale Monday Nov 19th only for 20%. (whoo hoo!) But ..... there is an alternative! If you love the textured embossing folders like I do - this item will be so helpful!

This is called the Texture Boutique by Sizzix. Because of our special partnership with Sizzix, we are offering this to our demonstrators and customers for a limited time. This item embosses only. Personally I bought one to reduce the line for my Big Shot at card classes. It's a handy and portable item that will gop on the crafting table and can be passed around. It's pretty light and looks like a little purse!

We have 4,000 available to be sold only while supplies last. If this product test goes well, we may offer the Texture Boutique again in the future.

The Texture Boutique works with Textured Impressions Embossing Folders to transform ordinary cardstock, paper, metallic foil, or vellum into an embossed, textured masterpiece. Great holiday gift idea at a great price point!

Texture Boutique ......... $29.95, item code 132657

Comes with the machine, 2 embossing pads and Mylar Shim

 

Texture Boutique Bundle .....$39.95, item code 132700

Comes with the machine, 2 embossing pads and Mylar Shim. Also ... 2 SU exclusive embossing folders: Flower Garden & Stripes

LOTS! Going on at Stampin' Up!

These guys at Stampin' Up are keeping me busy. As some of you know, not only do I sell Stammpin' Up! as a demonstrator, but I also work in Demo Support at the corporate office. Contrary to popular belief - I don't know about things in advance - maybe a day or so if we need training, but not much! They are worried we will get too excited about things and blab... (who me?)

Anyway ........ guess what is coming your way?

Welcome to the November Stamp to the Max Blog Hop!

Thank you for continuing the hop. You just left the creative work of Elizabeth Harris.

Some of you may be wondering - why "Stamp to the Max" Blog Hop? Well Maxine is my Stampin' Up! upline. Since I am part of her group, I am part of the hop!

Anyway .... I really like the Christmas card. It's fun, festive and modern looking. I hope you like it too!
