Christmastime is Coming!

Christmastime is coming! I've just ordered some new Holiday stamp sets, tinsel card trimming, and a beautiful snowflake embossing folder!

I will be hosting a few Stamp-a-Stamp nights where we create 4 each of 4 different card designs for $20! Can't wait!

So Excited!

Okay, so I've already worked out what the Hostess Club projects are going to be for the next 7 months! And 4 of them will definitely NOT be cards! Now onto coming up with ideas for a few Stamp-A-Stacks!

Until next time,

Hostess Clubs!

I'm starting some Hostess Clubs next month if anyone is interested in joining!

Hostess Clubs are great for someone who would like the free hostess benefits without the hassle of hosting a workshop or for someone who would like to get together once a month to stamp and learn new techniques!

Wanted

Wanted: Someone who would like to participate in a Hostess Club!

There are free gifts and rewards to people who host a Stampin' Up workshop where their guests purchase $150 or more collectively. If you don't know many people who would be interested or would like to get crafty once a month with others who share similar interests, join my Hostess Club!

Hostess clubs meet once a month with a minimum of 6 members and create a project (card, craft, gift, etc) and continue meetings for as many months as there are members (6 members would participate for 6 months) and commit to purchasing at least $25 in products for themselves every month to meet the $150 minimum.

Every month one member would get the hostess rewards and we would rotate until all members have received the hostess rewards.

If anyone is interested in joining, please email me at friedathurman@gmail.com !


Until next time,

Open House

My Open House will be this Sunday, April 25th between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m.! Just leave a comment or put your email in the chat box on the side for the address! Or become a fan on Facebook!

Come see all of the wonderful things you can create using paper, stamps, ribbons, and embellishments!

Everyone who attends will create a simple handmade card to take home and see how easy it is!

Come enjoy the fun!

Watch Out! Color Renovation!

Be on the lookout! New colors coming this summer! Five brand new Core Colors, five new In Colors, and ten returning In Colors! Also, the In Colors will be introduced every year as usual but stay for 2 years instead of just through one catalog period!!! So you get 2 In Color collections at the same time AND they last a year longer!

Color trends change every few years in fashion, home decor, and also crafting. It's hard to see some colors go that we are fond of, but it's time to embrace the new! The way Stampin' Up put it, you wouldn't want to wear the same clothes that you did back in high school would you? So why would you continue to use the same colors?

Check out all of the exciting new colors coming as well as the ones that we are sad to say farewell to.

The colors staying will be:

Old Olive
Real Red
Pumpkin Pie
Regal Rose
Tempting Turquoise
Basic Black
Basic Gray
Chocolate Chip
Whisper White
Very Vanilla
Kraft (renamed Crumb Cake)
Sahara Sand
Bravo Burgundy
Always Artichoke
Elegant Eggplant
Garden Green
More Mustard
Not Quite Navy
Night of Navy
Bashful Blue
Certainly Celery
So Saffron
Perfect Plum
Pretty In Pink
Rose Red

The returning In Colors:
Melon Mambo
Soft Suede
Rich Razzleberry
Wild Wasabi
Pacific Point
Tangerine Tango
Riding Hood Red
Pink Pirouette
Baha Breeze
River Rock

Brand NEW Colors!!!
Daffodil Delight (warm yellow)
Cajun Craze (spicy Orange)
Early Expresso (warm, rich brown)
Cherry Cobbler (rich red)

Attempt to make an iPad Sleeve!

Hello all!

My husband and I pre-ordered the new Apple iPad with Wi-Fi- & 3G. I'm borrowing my mom's sewing machine and will try to make a sleeve for it and then use Staz-On ink to decorate the sleeve with Stampin' Up stamps and then heat set it with the embossing heat tool! I'm not sure how it'll come out since I don't know how to sew but I'll post pictures of my attempt and/or success when it's done!

Until next time,

Sorry for the bad iPhone photo, can't find my camera (again)!

This is really cute! The back of the card that slides out the top is an orange plaid with a slit to put in a gift card if you want to!

Cards for a Cause

So I just added a badge for Operation Write Home to my blog!

This organization takes only handmade cards either written to deployed soldiers or for deployed solders to send home to their families. I think this is a wonderful cause!


*** I would like to start doing a Cards for a Cause class once a month where we get together and create cards for either this program and for local causes such as cancer patients and shelters.***

I'll let you know when the first one will be and you can let me know if you're interested in participating! More details on the way!
