World Card Making Day Sale!!!

Woot Woot — great news, the first Saturday in October is World Card Making Day.  No, this isn’t just a Stampin’ Up! thing, it’s a day set aside worldwide to remind us to make and send out cards.  In this fast paced society we tend to do quick texts, how about show someone that they mean a little more to you.  Take a few minutes to make a card and tell them you care, get together with friends and make a bunch of cards for a senior center or children’s hospital.  Think of all the good we could share around the world.

Stampin’ Up! is celebrating World Card Making Day not just Saturday, October 6th but we are celebrating all week long — yup October 1st – October 7th  we have a World Card Making Sale going on.  A few select products are 10% off — who doesn’t like a sale.  See the flyer with all the sale items that you don’t want to miss out on — dimensionals are on this list along with note cards and envelopes and 12″ x 12″ Whisper White and Very Vanilla cardstock.  Yes, there are some adorable stamp sets and kits on sale too.  Take a look and get your order placed right away.  Please use Host Code RMU73GBV when placing your online order.

I have the perfect card to share with you on this first day of October (a little World Card Making Week inspiration).  The weather is cooling down, the leaves are starting to change color.  I love the Blackberry Bliss and Crushed Curry color combo.  This card has lots of wonderful layers and the Artisan Texture stamp set was perfect for the blotches of fall color.

Spooky Sweets Treat Holder

Tomorrow is October 1st — how does time fly by so quickly!!!  But October 1st means Halloween is sneaking up on us and will be here before we know it.  Have you been planning those Halloween projects?  I love to make treat holders and Halloween colors are so much fun.  Today is a fun treat holder that is pretty quick to make and could hold a variety of treats.

I found this adorable little treat box that Karen Robinson made when I was googling the stamp set, I knew it was perfect for me.  I adjusted the size to fit a little candy treat — perfect for the little Kit Kat candy bars — the single ones — not fun size.

Country Lane Suite Framed Art

When I ask customers if they’ve been stamping outside of our classes, many respond that they aren’t creative.  I always respond that we are all creative in our own way but when you need a little help getting started we all CASE projects — case = copy and share everything.  That’s right, take a project you’ve already made and make it again but use different colors, different paper, even a different stamp set and see what a difference it makes.

Today’s project is exactly that — a CASED project.  A couple of weeks ago I shared a project we did at our Stampin’ Sisters Holiday Hoopla.  It was a framed art piece featuring the Country Home stamp set in a farmhouse style – soft and subtle was the theme here.

At my Country Lane Suite class we were making a framed art project.  I didn’t want to copy this project as some guests were at both events, however I love the layout of this frame, so I CASED it.  I changed all of the colors and designer paper but I kept the Country Home stamp set, Galvanized Metallic Paper, Chicken Wire, Clips and Buttons.  It ended in a project that looks the same yet completely different.  Everyone loved the colors in this project (I kept it out of the frame so I could take a picture without the glare from the glass).

I think it turned out great, I can’t wait to hang it up.  How would you like to make this project yourself?
You can — just place an order of $50 and I’ll mail you a kit with all the pieces and pictures of the panels up close.
You will need to provide the Country Home Stamp Set, Memento Ink, Blackberry Bliss stamp pad and Stampin’ Blend Markers — Light & Dark Smoky Slate, Light & Dark Old Olive, Light & Dark Blackberry Bliss, Light & Dark Soft Suede and the shadow box frame (8″ x 10″).
