Cool New Deal! Bling!

Hello!  I'm sorry I have been cyber gone.  However, I have been doin' some very fun stamping and paper crafting that I'll share with you this week.  Right now, I want you to know of the DEAL OF THE WEEK!

How fun is this?!  These brads are so versatile.  You can use them as Christmas ornaments on a stamped tree, as diamonds, as part of a pull tab, etc.  You don't want to miss out on getting these puppies.  I DO have an order going in tonight, if you want to save on S&H.  However, you will need to let me know ASAP!

Happy Stampin'

Lovely Flowers Bundle and Rub Ons

Oh, this paper is so, so pretty.  I have to tell you it was REALLY hard to cut into it.  It felt sacrilegious.  It did!  Still, I MADE myself cut it, because the point is to USE all the fun things so I can show you that YOU want them, of course!  Even if I don't convince you, I'm going to send this to a sweet friend of mine who WILL love it!  

Rub Ons are something I hoard mostly because they scare me.  I know, I know, they're easy to use, but once you use them and you sort of mess up, that's it!  There's no second chance.  However, they do look FABULOUS on projects and I need to just get over my fear and USE THEM.  I'm sort of lecturing myself, so don't mind me.

Anyway, I use the Lovely Flowers Bundle that I got FREE, courtesy of Stampin' Up!  I love being a demonstrator!  The paper from this pack is SO pretty and Pale Plum and Rich Razzleberry go so well together that this card just makes me happy.  

Guess what?  You can become a demonstrator for as little as $85!  Yup!  If you are one of those people who has a lot of Stampin Up! stuff already, then you can get the In Color kit and the Business supplies for $85!  You can have all the benefits of being a demo and get to see the demo side of the Stampin' Up! website, too.  You will learn all about running your own business and earn some extra income!  The sky is the limit with this opportunity!  Contact me today so we can chat about it!.  Click on the image to see what's in the kit.

Happy Stampin'!

Rich Razzleberry....Yum!

Okay, okay, I REALLY like this color.  It truly is a beautiful rich razzleberry!  I LOVE the DOUBLE-SIDED ribbon, too.  Stampin' Up! is very generous in the numerous ways we can earn FREE stamp sets.  This stamp set is from the Level 3 Lovely Flowers Bundle.  The paper is just gorgeous.  I have some peeking out behind the main image.  I used Old Olive, Rich Razzleberry and Crushed Curry (another VERY pretty color) classic ink.  I finally am using the fun Scalloped Oval (Don't you just LOVE scallops?) which coordinates so well with our Large and Small Oval Punches.    

S0000.....speaking of scallops, did you know that the Scallop Edge Punch is  ON SALE?  I am SO not kidding.  Now through Sunday, July 5th, this puppy is only 10.99 (retail $15.95)!!

You can go directly to my website and order this and a couple more for friends and family.  There will be a NEW deal on Monday at 10 am.  Check back here or my website to see what it is!

Happy Stampin'!
