It could be really cute for an office and put grandkids pictures or just kid pictures for a dad for father's day too! Anyway, it is $3.50.

Huge Product Announcement!!

2010-04-07T23:07:00.000-07:00

I have been just waiting til we got the okay to announce to our customers this new change!! We finally did, so here you go . . .

I know it is going to be a bitter-sweet at first, but I am really excited about it and I know you will too!

It's a Color Renovation!!

Stampin' Up has changed the color families by Bringing in 5 New Colors, Adding 10 In Colors, and Keeping 25 Current Colors:)

This also means quite a few Current Colors will be leaving us, actually 30 . . . so to view all of them, click HERE.

I was kind of 'deflated' at first, but I have really gotten excited now! Yes, I am going to miss a couple colors (Cameo Coral, Close to Cocoa, Taken with Teal, and Summer Sun) BUT, I am more excited about the ones that will be joining us! (some are Tangerine Tango, Wild Wasabi, Pacific Point, and Baja Breeze) So to view the NEW Color Families (or now 'Collections') click HERE.

So kinda crazy!! But, as I have really been getting to know these better I am really excited! I love the way they compliment each other. It has really given me a new outlook on some of my colors and what I could put them with! I also really do like the fact that there are not as many colors. It is not as overwhelming to get/have them all, or to decide which to use. Have you noticed that there are quite a few colors you do not use within each family?? I sure don't use them all! Especially in the Bold Brights and Soft Subtles. I think there were a lot of colors that were simply outdated. They have been around forEVER! It was time for some new, fresh colors! Like our In Colors we've had lately. So many of us did NOT want to see them go, and now there back!

Now, this change is going to happen in our upcoming July catalog! :) I will hopefully have in our May workshop swatches for all the colors, so you can get a real view of them!

If any of you have questions, concerns, or anything on this, please let me know! I am really excited though! So there you have it! Yay!

Easter Projects!!

2010-03-18T00:07:00.000-07:00

Yay! Projects are done! :) Here's the line-up . . . This is a Punch Bunny in a Carrot Patch Card. It is $1.50.

This Carrot Card uses the Pick-A-Petal and Baroque Motif Stamp sets. It is one of my favorites I made last year, but thought I would offer it for those who may not have seen it. It is also $1.50.

Here is the Easter scrapbook layout. I'm loving the punch characters if you can't tell:) This layout will be $4.00.

These are the Easter Baskets. There are two different sizes. The large one can hold quite a lot, and would be great if you are planning to put the plastic Easter eggs in it. The basket portion itself is about 5" tall by 8" long at the top. The smaller one is still a really good size, especially for just lots of candy. It measures about 3 1/2" by 5". I can have a boy or girl pattern for you, so just specify which size and which gender you would like:)

The Large Basket is $3.00.

The Smaller Basket is $2.00.

Here is another really fun way to give treats! The Mini Milk Cartons!

Here is a Four-Milk-Carton-Holder. The Holder itself will cost 1.25, and the Milk Cartons are $1.00/ea.

And this one is a Two-Milk-Carton-Holder. This Holder is $0.75, and again the Milk Cartons are $1.00/ea.

You can also just get the Milk Cartons seperately if you would like. Just let me know quantity. And if you've never seen the milk carton dye done, just know they are littler. They measure about 1 1/2" by 3" tall. The are so stinking cute though!

This little guy is too cute! It also uses the milk carton dye. So he's the Bunny Milk Carton. This one is $0.75. {If you are wondering why this one is .25 less than the other one, it's because of the cute little [and expensive] library clip on top of the other milk carton} Just so you know:)

And there you have it! I would like to know by Monday if you can or cannot make it along with what you would like to do. Sorry for the shorter notice. I struggled getting the projects done this month:)

iT's A bIrThDaY pArTy!!

2010-02-17T12:18:00.000-08:00

For this month we don't really have an upcoming holiday {except for St. Patty's, but we really don't do much for that one;)} so we decided it would be perfect timing to do a couple birthday cards! We also threw in a couple mini baby cards. It's nice to have just a little something to go on top of a gift that you don't have to write much on:)

Here are our feminine birthday cards . . . Same layout, different DSP. They will be $1.50 ea.

Then, here is our masculine birthday card, again . . . same layout, different DSP. They will also be $1.50 ea.

Then, we have our mini baby cards . . . one for a little girl! These will be $0.75 ea. because they also come with the little scallop envelope.

And the baby boy one . . .

Well, I hope you like them all and hope to see you on the 27th!!

Beginning our New Year!

2010-01-20T19:16:00.000-08:00

For our January workshop we will of course be doing Valentine projects! Yay! Please let me know by Sunday, the 24th what you would like to do and quantity so I can have everything ready in time. I also have to order the tins, so I need enough time:) Thanks!

The first shown here is a tin for you and your one and only;)

On the inside are sheets of paper (which will have lines for writing on them.... mine just aren't on yet) for you and your hubby to write down the things you love about each other. So often we don't take the little time we have together to really express those feelings we have. This is especially great because when we need to remember, we can just open it up and read it! (If you don't want to do that, you are welcome to use it for whatever you'd like... It would be great for pictures too or both!) The tin will be $6.00.

Here is the Valentine Card. It will be $2.00. It is made with lots of different hearts as you can see coming out of the Scallop Envelope. We also will be using the new clear mount stamps that I'm so excited to show you!

This is a little Treat Pouch. It has conversation hearts inside. This is $1.00/ea. (It includes the hearts)
Then we have made 6 different love note size cards; perfect for giving to your kids friends or neices/nephews or grandchildren. They are simple to make and quick. They will be $0.50/ea. or $2.50 for 6.

So there you have it! Let me know what you would like to do by leaving a comment or emailing me! See you soon!

Christmas in December Club!

2009-11-13T18:50:00.001-08:00

Here we go again! :) As we did last time, the projects are below along with the prices. Just let us know which you would like to do, and we will have everything ready for you to put it together!

We haven't done a scrapbook layout for a really long time, and so I thought it could be fun to do one for Christmas Time memories! I know not everyone does them, so don't worry there's lots more for you to do below;) The layout will be $4.00.

Here's closer views of the pages . . .

Here is a the Christmas Card! Priced at $1.00. It uses the stencils, which I'm so excited about!

Here are some tags for all your darling Christmas presents. . . they add just the right touch! They are .25 cents each.

Here is another fun tag from the Top Note Die. It also will be .25 cents.

This darling Christmas Box is great for neighbor gifts or treats. It is also great for small gifts like ties, jewelry, socks or something fun like that! :) It will be $3.00 or 5 for $12.00.

Now for some extra fun stuff! I thought it would be fun to do some glass etching projects! There are a few different ones at different price ranges.... these first ones are monogrammed glasses. {they are extra big mugs too!} They are $3.00 each. You can have the option of just doing the letter alone and that would be the etched piece, or the picture below. Please let me know what you would like if you choose this project. {Great Christmas gift!}

Closer view of the etching. . .

This square jar is super cute and would be fun for lots of different things! Like holiday candy or small ornaments or whatever you want to fill it with. The brown in the picture is just a piece of chocolate chip card stock I stuck in so you could see the etching better:) This jar is $9.00.

And here's a better view of the etching as well. . .

This jar is adorable! I filled it will ornaments so you could get a better view of the etching but they are not included. It is a good idea for it though! I also did an etching on this that could be used year around. This jar is $15.00.

Here is a closer view as well . . .

Well, there you have it! I hope you like them all! We do:) Please let us know by Tuesday night what you would like to do! Thanks! I'm excited to see everyone again!

2009-11-12T13:10:00.000-08:00

Hello everyone!

I am going to post this on the KSL classifieds, but I thought I would ask all of you first to see if you would like it. It is the actual Stampin' Up light table used for dry embossing. Works great, is in great condition and hasn't been used that many times. It sells new in the catalog for $49.95 but if any of you are interested, I would sell it to you for $30. If you are interested, leave me a comment on here, call me, or email me. Let me know and I will bring it to stamp club this Saturday!

Hey Everyone!

Here are the two projects that I came up with for stamp club this month!

This first one is a really cute box that is SUPER easy and can be made with just a few score lines and one 8 1/2 x 11 piece of paper. It's really easy and I will show you how to make it when you come. Items you will need:

*One 8 1/2 x 11 piece of paper for box

*One 2 1/2 x 3 piece of white paper (for front)

*One 2 3/4 x 3 1/4 for backing of white paper (the red piece)

* Sticky strip

* Coordinating ribbon, ink, scraps and accessories.

* IMPORTANT! It will be much faster also if you bring your own scoring tool with you. Like a Score-Pal or your scoring blade for your cutter!

The colors I used here are Pacific Point, Riding Hood Red and Naturals White. If you would like to use those colors, I will have the ink here for you. Also, I will have the punches here for you to use as well if you want. :)

The box is really cute and looks cuter in person!

I am always needing a "Thank you" card, so this is what I came up with.

Colors I used here are Basic Gray, Kiwi Kiss, Baja Breeze, and Very Vanilla. I also used the Urban Garden DSP. It's a very simple card. Items needed:

* 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" piece of paper for card base (basic gray)

* 5 1/4 x 4" piece for base on front (kiwi kiss)

* 5 1/4" x 2" DSP for behind trees

* Coordinating pieces for scalloped edges

* Neutral paper for trees and greeting

*Coordinating stamps, ink and ribbon.

* Cuttlebug. I used the Swiss Dots die

You guys are more than welcome to use my punches, Cuttlebug, stamps and ink if you would like. I will have them here for you!

Let me know if you have any questions and I'm excited to see everyone on Thursday and
it's fun that I actually live up here now so that you can see my house!
See you then!

Mother's Day Project!

2009-05-25T13:40:00.000-07:00

Here is the Mother's Day project I did for Suzanne... I don't have the pictures from my mom's yet, so when I do I will post those as well:) It was a lot of fun!

I bought this box at Robert's.

It comes with the chipboard inserts on the chain. You just have to cover them:)

I used the Bella Bleu DSP. It looks nothing like the catalog shows it as! It's one of my favorites!

On the front of the first piece I put the title and on the back is the timeline of how our family was established. I started with Brian & Suzanne's wedding, followed by all the births of their children, and on to mine & Ty's marriage and then ended with Hunter's birth. Then on the remaining pieces on each front is each member of the family's picture & name, and on the back of theirs is words they wrote to Suzanne:)

This was kinda time consuming, but a wonderful production in the end! Totally worth it:)

May Stamp Club!

2009-05-12T13:58:00.000-07:00

Hey Ladies! Stamp club is this Thursday, the 14th at Brenda's House. Her address is 840 Windsor Lane in Kaysville. She lives right down the street from Suzanne. The time is 7:00 pm. See everyone there.

The cards are really easy to make. The scrapbook pages will take just a little longer. You will need to bring the following with you to club: Papers in the colors you would like, ribbon to match, eyelets for the "Dad" card, a button or some sort of hardware for the "I Love You Dad" card, brads for the flower centers, chip board flower (large) for the scrapebook page, blender pens, markers, stamp pads, ribbon and embellishments for the graduation cards, scallop circle punch, and 1 3/8 circle punch. (Brenda and Sarah have the two punches but if you have them, it would be great if you would bring to share). All stamps shown will be provided.

Please comment or reply to email, so Brenda can know how many to expect! Thanks. Hope to see everyone there!

A few projects by Crystal:)

2009-05-11T22:36:00.000-07:00

An invitation I made for my cousin's bridal shower.

A super simple project my lil' cub scouts made for their mother's day gift. The cup is filled with beans, but another cute idea is candy like jelly beans or skittles. On the back of each flower they wrote reasons why they love their mom.

Stamp Club!!

2009-04-20T22:19:00.000-07:00

Wow! I'm so sorry for the delay in getting this post up! I've had the hardest time choosing the card I wanted. Since I had such a hard time though, I'm actually going to put up my top 3 Mother's Day cards and let you decide which you'd like to do:) Ha! I will have the stamps I used for all 3, and you can do 1, 2, all or none of them! Whatever you'd like!

Here is one of them. . .

The window pane is 3 1/4" x 2 1/2" {cut after stamping}. The ribbon is about 14"-15". Then you will also need a little extra for the ovals.

And the other. . .

DIMENSIONS: The card is 5 1/2"x 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4" on the 8 1/2" side. The Pumpkin Pie DSP is 5 3/8" x 4 1/8". The side strip of of Close to Cocoa is 2" x 4 1/4" and the DSP on top is 1 7/8" x 4 1/4". The top strip of Close to Cocoa is 5 1/2" x 1 1/2" and the DSP on top is 5 1/2" x 1 3/8". The Close to Cocoa backing to the front image piece is 4" x 2 1/2" and the Whisper White piece on top is 3 7/8" x 2 3/8". The Bashful Blue Ribbon I used is only about 11"-12"

Then, for our fun project, we are doing a Post It Note Holder! {which by the way is much cuter in real life!} I will have the binder clips, post it notes, and chipboard backings. The cost all together is $1.65. However there are 5 different colored post it pads to choose from; pastel purple, pastel pink, pastel yellow, pastel green, and pastel blue. The best way I thought of is a "first come, first serve" type of basis. So leave a comment or email me the color you would like! Be quick! :) They are all really cute!

DIMENSIONS: The DSP to cover the chipboard is 3 7/8" x 5 3/8". The Old Olive piece I used for the scallop edge is 3 7/8" x 1 3/4" and the Whisper White strip on top is 3 7/8" x 1 1/4". The DSP to cover the clip on top is 1 1/4" x 1 7/8". The Ribbon is about 5"-6".

I hope everyone can come! I'm really excited! For those who may not have noticed the announcement on the side bar, it is at my home @ 11 this Saturday! :)

Easter Project

2009-04-14T17:05:00.000-07:00

Thought I would share a Box I made for Easter. The boxes came from Papertrey, Inc. They turned out really cute.

2009-04-06T18:20:00.000-07:00

Here's a couple of cards I made that I thought I would share with you.

Baby Shower!

2009-04-05T22:04:00.000-07:00

Cindy's daughter Alicia is having a baby girl next month! We had a shower for her last week, and this was the diaper cake Suz and I made. . . I loved how it turned out! They are so easy and fun to make. The eclairs we did not make however:) We ordered them from Bowman's and I love the little baby bootie they put on top of each of them! They make the best eclairs btw!

And these were our darling party favors we made! {My sister and I made these for my friend Brooke's baby shower too, but with a boy design.} They are made out of mini brown paper sacks. I don't have an upclose picture downloaded yet, but I'll put it up soon! We just bought the individually wrapped buttermints to put inside the mini purses. Yummy!

And here are the gifts I made for her. . . The white BATH box I got at Taipan, and put inside multiple items that have to do with bathing. I also made a pink hooded towel, which is folded underneath it.

This was a holder I made for her shower to hold the cards she was given, and to record the people who came and the gifts they gave. That way it makes it easier to do thank you cards and it's a fun memory keeper:)

This is the inside view.

This was my favorite new thing to make! It is a Memory Can, and on the right is the notepad that goes with it. This is where she can write fun memories of her daughter and put them in the can:)

The top of the can explains it best, "Baby books are great ideas, but sometimes you're too busy. Living with a little one can put you in a tizzy. Milestones pass too fast at times to find the proper page, so jot a note at each event with date and baby's age... (like 'took 3 steps on June the 1st' or 'teething 5th of December'), then drop them in this memory can to help you to remember!"

This is a hospital packing list complete with things for the Labor itself, then the Recovery, and then things for the Baby to make sure to bring to the hospital, each on seperate cards. I clipped them in a magnet and put the scallop piece on the front of the magnet to make it look cuter. This is her first, so it's all new to her. Jennie made one for me and it was so nice to have. There are so many things you just don't think about:)

And this was the card I made for her. I wanted everything to coordinate! :) I love the Sweet Always DSP! And the Nursery Necessities Set! They are new favorites!

I had so much fun making all of these things. . . Congrats to Cindy in one month, you're going to be a Grandma! Yay! {and Hunter will have a cousin!}

Rub - {On} Fun!

2009-03-26T12:40:00.000-07:00

I seriously love the rub-ons from Stampin' Up! You can make simple gifts look magnificent... like this fun teacher gift or new mom gift! :)

Circle {Birthday} Card!

2009-03-26T12:31:00.000-07:00

This is a fun {"spin"} on the normal card! I used my cricut to get the perfect circles:)

Th{a}nks and Some More E{a}ster Goodies!

2009-03-26T12:28:00.000-07:00

Thanks Crystal and Debbie for putting on another wonderful club! The projects were so great, the food delicious, and the company a blast! We missed those who weren't there though.... hope you can come next month!

We did these fun criss-cross baskets for my friends club! I used the punch bunny Addie showed us last year and thought it was kinda fun!

I also made this mini Easter card from the catalog. I changed up the colors a little bit:)

Easter Scrapbook Pages!

2009-03-11T11:38:00.000-07:00

The pages are done!! I did two sets of different colors so you could see that lots if color combos would be cute. I didn't use stampin up paper, but I will list my 'stampin up' stamp pad colors that I used if you want to try to duplicate mine, or esle be creative and pick your own colors:)

February: Cindy & Paula
March: Crystal & Debbie
April: Jessica & Jennie
May: Brenda & Sarah
June: Addie
August: Andrea

We'll just go to this point and reassign again in August!

If anyone has any questions, let me know! Thanks again!

scrapbooking day

2009-01-12T10:56:00.000-08:00

I'm excited for Saturday, theirs alot of cute projects to make. See you then.

January Club Projects!

2009-01-05T21:54:00.000-08:00

Alrighty! The time has arrived! From what everyone has said Saturdays are still the best, so we have chosen to stick with that. January stamp club will be held January 17th @ 10:00 at Suzanne's Home.

As we have discussed previously, Suzanne and I have come up with the projects for this month but everyone will need to bring their own supplies to complete them {with a few exceptions as noted below}.

We have chosen 4 projects, but you only have to do the ones you like.

For all the projects you will need the following: Paper cutter, Scoring tool, Bone folder, Dimensionals, Sticky Strip tape, Glue or Snail Adhesive, Scissors, Sponges or Daubers, a few people to bring Stamp Cleaner and Spray, and extra paper in case you mess up.

Project 1: The Card!

The picture does not do justice to how cute it is! {just so you know} If you would like to use different stamps than what is pictured above, you must bring them. However, we will provide the ones we have featured:) You will also need to bring one piece of cardstock for the actual card {5 1/2" x 4 1/4"}, one piece of cardstock for the top note {6" x 5"}, one piece of designer cardstock for bottom of top note {6" x 5"}, one small piece of cardstock for the heart, a scrap of cardstock for the saying, ribbon {16"}, paper piercing tools, versamark pad, and coordinating stamp pads. The colors we chose were Rose Red, Chocolate Chip, Regal Rose, and Very Vanilla. {The Top Note pieces will be created by Suz}.

Project 2: "Husband Only" Invitation

For this project you can write whatever you would like on the invitation portion {and this one is also a lot cuter in real life!}. You can also do a different front stamp if you would like as well as a "you're invited" stamp. The "you're invited" we used is actually a dry emboss template from the Cuttle Bug, which we will provide. Anything different you want... bring! You will also need to bring one piece of cardstock for the pocket portion of the card {8" x 8 1/2"}, another colored cardstock for the backing of the band {2 1/2" x 10 1/2"}, another color of cardstock for the front of the band {2 1/4" x 11"}, Ribbon {14 1/2"}, Some white cardstock for the front stamped image {2 1/2" x 3 1/2"}, a coordinating colored cardstock for the back of the insert {5" x 4"}, another piece of white cardstock for the front of the insert {4 3/4" x 3 3/4"}, one eyelet, another ribbon {3"}. The colors used in this were Chocolate Chip, Real Red, and White.

Project 3: Valentine Treat Milk Carton

For this project you will need one piece of cardstock for the carton {7" x 11"}, another colored piece of cardstock for the band {2" X 11" or 12"}, Ribbon {16"}, some scrap cardstock of desired colors for the circles, and coordinating stamp pads. Above we used, Pretty in Pink, Regal Rose, and Basic Gray. As is the same for the above projects, the stamps used will be provided {which were the heart and swirly thing from the Priceless Stamp Set and the Always sayings from the Always Stamp Set} if you would like to do different backgrounds and what not, bring them:)

Project 4: Peppermint Pattie Tin Box

For this project we must know by Thursday of this week if you would like to do it and how many. We must place an order for the Tin Boxes, and we need to allow for shipping time. The cost will be $2.50 for the box and patties. There will also be a portion of the shipping to pay as well, which we will tell you at club. {amount will depend on how many people order}

As is the same with the other projects, the stamps used above will be provided but if you want anything different, you will need to bring them. Also you will need 2 different colored cardstocks for the band {9 1/2" x 1 3/4"}, ribbon {9 1/2"}, coordinating stamp pads and markers, and paper piercing tools. The colors used above were Real Red, Pretty in Pink, and Close to Cocoa.

And there you have it! We have given you the dimensions so if you would like to cut your paper out before it will save you time. We will have the instructions for all of these for everyone to use and take home. For anyone who does want to place orders, Addie will still be taking them. {Remember to check out the retired lists because there is a ton of paper going bye-bye!} Leave a comment for what projects you would like to do, or email if you don't know how to comment yet {which after January club can no longer be an excuse!}!

We are so excited to see everyone again!! Have a great week!

XoxOXoxO, {Get it? Valentines!}

Jess and Suz

Stationary Box

2009-01-02T21:55:00.000-08:00

This is a stationary box that I made for several people for Christmas. Jess found the pattern for them and passed it along to me. Thanks Jess! They turned out really cute. The box just takes a couple of 12 x 12 papers, ribbon, and brad. I made five cards, three note cards, and four tags. The people I gave them to where impressed. The box was pretty simple but the cards took time. Great fun gift.

Easy {Christmas} Tags!

2008-12-14T23:24:00.000-08:00

I realized the time I had before Christmas came was going to fly by all too quickly, so I decided I needed to be quick and easy on my tags for presents. Inspired by Suzanne, who told me where I could find these amazing tags, I am only going to make a few cards this year and the rest are going to get these! You can buy the pre-cut tags for $1.79 for 25 at Ben Franklin. They come in many colors, but I chose the speckled white. Way cheap I think! Then all you have to do is add a few embelishments, and 'wahlah!' I used my favorite Stampin' Up! christmas paper from last year, Old Olive and Real Red colors, and a variety of christmas stamps. I put an antiqued brass jumbo eyelet in the hole, and tied the hemp twine through. Super easy and quick! I made 40. Thanks Suz!

Advent Calendar!

2008-12-05T13:22:00.000-08:00

So this is my advent calendar for this Christmas! I love it! I got the jar at Walmart for $12.99 and it is HUGE and holds a candy for all of us to get one everyday! I started it out with a present on the first day and then candy through Christmas Eve and then we'll get our PJ's for the gift that night :) I used the vinyl out of Stampin' Up to put on the jar and then just made cards to change out for each day. I got a big paper clip and just mod-podged it with some matching paper and that holds my cards to countdown. Enjoy! Merry Christmas!!

Here We Go!!

2008-11-19T23:08:00.001-08:00

So, I thought we better get this going or it would just fall through the cracks! I hope you all like the name I came up with:) . . . . If you don't, we can totally change it! And we can periodically change the background too. So if you don't like it, don't worry, it will change! {Someday}

We also need to get those who are not "blogger-literate" {yes, I said it} trained and up to speed:)

Now whenever we have projects, questions, or something great we want to share.... here's the place to put it!

We'll get together once a month starting in January. December is always a crazy month, so we'll skip it. When it gets a little closer we can vote on a date and time. Let's get some feedback on how we would like to run our gatherings.... would it be best to have one person each month come up with a project and just let us all know what it requires and each person will bring their own supplies to do it, do we want one person to come up with everything as Addie did and switch off, or do we just want everyone to bring their own projects and simply get together to do them?? Leave a comment and we can discuss it.

When you are ready to start posting, let me know and I'll get you added!
