September Workshops


Hi All,

I'm finally on the ball this month. I've got three great workshops sch
eduled for you in September! I'm back to my regular schedule now that summer is over. We'll have the scrap workshops on the first Tuesday of the month and the card workshops on the third Tuesday of the month. You can plan on this schedule for future months. I've also included information for my first Christmas Card Workshop in October. Yes, I really am on the ball. LOL! Please remember to bring your scissors and tape runner to the workshops. I do have tape runner and refills on hand and available for purchase if you need them. Now for the important info........

Tuesday, September 7th - 3:45 - 8:00 PM - 12 x 12 Scrap Layout- $5 or FREE with a $35 order. We'll be focusing on Family, as you can see from the pics attached. Feel free to bring some family pics to add to your pages, using my punches to enhance the pics. The best kind of picture for this type of layout is one that may not be the best shot, where you can crop out faces or specific items from the shots. It's a great way to capitalize on some not-so-great photos, but yet have adorable finished pages. The RSVP deadline is quick..... please respond by Friday, September 3rd.




Simply Adorned Charm 1.5"X2" - by Stampin' Up!Saturday, September 18th - 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM - Simply Adorned Workshop - You've seen Stampin' Up's new Charms. Now you're going to create your own and/or one for a special friend or family member! You can purchase a matching chain or attach the charm to a chain you already have. For $30, you'll receive the largest charm, 1 1/2" x 2", a sheet of the new rhinestone jewels and five inserts for the charm. See attached pic for the inserts. If you'd like to add the Charming Stamp Set to your order, total cost is $45. That's a savings of $5 off the stamp set! This project will take approximately one hour. You are welcome to come anytime within the 3 hour time frame to complete your set. Because this workshop requires a special order for the charms and rhinestones, the RSVP deadline is quick.....Friday, September 3rd. Because the class requires purchase of product in advance, I must require that if you RSVP and are not able to attend, that you make arrangements to pay for and pick up the product. Here are the inserts.......

T
uesday, September 21st - 3:45 - 8:00 PM - 3 cards for $5 or FREE with a $35 order.

This month, we'll be focusing on the new Just Believe Stamp Set. It is really a beautiful set that can be used for any occasion. We'll also be using the new Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch, some of the new Crochet Ribbon and lots of new colors. I'm also going to introduce you all to my wonderful Big Shot machine. You'll all be using it to emboss one of the card fronts using a great new embossing folder! See the attached pics for the workshop cards and the cards for the extra kit ($5) for the month. RSVP Deadline is Friday, September 17th. Please let me know if you are RSVP'ing for the workshop only or for the workshop and the extra card kit.

Here are the workshop cards....


This one in pink and white is so pretty in person. It's embossed and sprayed with the shimmer paint. The pic just can't capture it!
Here are the Extra Kit Cards.....



This card doesn't really have a blue background. That would look a little silly with the Rich Razzleberry ink, wouldn't it? I just used the blue paper so you could really see the card. Without a color behind it, it blended into the white background.I'll be posting specials and details for each card soon! Have a great day!

Hi Ladies,
Yes, I'm a little behind this month. Kevin decided he was ready to start remodeling the bathroom this past weekend. I've been ready for over a year, so the minute he said he was ready, I got right to work! It looks so nice. We're not quite finished yet, but definitely moving in the right direction .
I'm going to make one more change for regular scrap and card workshops from here on out. Anytime you place an order of $35 or more, your scrap pages or cards are free. You are never obligated to make a purchase and can always just pay $5 for the workshop projects, but I thought I'd reward you for making a purchase when you want to.

Here is the info for workshops in August:

Tuesday, August 10th
- 3:45 - 8 PM - 12 x 12 Scrap Layout for $5. Come and go as you need to. We will be making a 2 page 12 x 12 layout that shows you how to utilize scraps of paper and ribbon. See attached for details. This is a super quick and simple technique that makes cute pages for any age, gender, etc. All you need to bring is scissors and adhesive. Please RSVP by this Friday, August 6th.

Tuesday, August 17th -
3:45 - 8 PM - 3 Cards for $5. Come and go as you need to. We'll be focusing on some beautiful techniques with these cards including heat emboss resist, black magic, and paper flower folding, using the Inspired by Nature Stamp Set. I'll also have the additional card kits available including three more cards made using the same stamp set for $5. All you need to bring is scissors and adhesive. Please RSVP by Friday, August 13th and include whether you will be making just the workshop cards or want to include the additional card kit.

Saturday, August 28th -
9 AM - 12 PM- Adorable Card Holder Project for $10. Life is finally settling down a bit and I am able to schedule a FUN Saturday workshop! We'll be making the attached card holder. Your cost includes the materials to make the card holder and a full roll of sticky strip to assemble the holder, along with coffee and breakfast desserts! The project will take about an hour, so you are welcome to come anytime during the three hour period. This is a great gift for friends and family. Fill it up with your homemade cards and you're good to go! Please RSVP by Friday, August 13th so that I have enough Sticky Strip for everyone.

As for August specials.......
1) Purchase the Inspired by Nature Stamp Set for $23.95 and receive a pack of Stampin' Dimensionals for FREE!
2) Purchase the Heat Embossing Tool for $29.95 and receive a jar of embossing powder of your choice FREE!
3) Extra, Extra Hostess Promotion (we can tailor workshops to your wishes)

From July 27 to August 31, Stampin' Up! hostesses can earn an EXTRA $25 to use toward Stampin' Up! products of their choice when they host a workshop totaling $350 or more!

This extra benefit is included along with the standard hostess benefits they receive when they host a workshop. The standard hostess benefits include

  • A free 2010-2011 Idea Book & Catalog worth $9.95!
  • Free stamp sets only available to hostesses (with qualifying orders; select from the products on pages 10-16 of the Idea Book & Catalog)!

Let me know if you'd be interested in having a workshop at your home or starting a monthly scrap or card club with your friends.

Have a great day! See you soon.......

July Card Workshop

Hi Ladies,

Our July card workshop will be held on Tuesday, July 27th from 3:45 - 8:00 PM. We'll be making three cards using three great new stamp sets: Blissful Bride - found in the Summer Mini, Because I Care - A Level 1 Hostess Set in the new catalog, and Baby Bundle, a new set in the new catalog. Because of the increase in the price of cardstock, workshops will now include 3 cards for $5. Each month, I will also make an additional "Kit to Go", which will be three more cards using the same stamp sets. The kit will be $5. This month, I'll also have at least two more card samples from the three sets listed above. That should help you see what you can do with the sets - get your creative juices flowing!

The RSVP deadline for the card workshop is Monday, July 19th. I'll need to know if you plan to make the workshop cards alone or if you'd also like the "kit to go". I also have two freebies for you this month. Spend $50 and get the new Catalog and Idea Book free PLUS pick out any cardstock pack of your choice FREE! Pick out some great new stamp sets or accessories and get the ideas and cardstock free!

Looking forward to seeing you all again on the 27th! Hopefully, I'll have the August workshop samples ready for you to see! Have a great day.......

July Scrap Page Workshop




Hi Ladies,

The July Scrap Page workshop is being held on Tuesday, July 13th from 3:45 PM - 8:00 PM. You can come and go as you need to. We'll be making a two page 12 x 12 spread for $5. These pages highlight adding texture to your page using border punches. Although the pics aren't the greatest, it is a very cool, easy technique. The last day to RSVP for this workshop is Friday, July 9th. Hope to see you there!
