Christmas In July Stamp A Stack - Part 2

This is the 4th card that I designed for the Christmas in July Stamp-a-Stack I am co-hosting with Linda Taylor on July 23.  Like all of my cards, it is SUPER EASY to make.  This one uses the Jolly Jingles Jumble Wheel.

 Linda designed these cards for our Stamp-a-Stack on July 23 at Hope Lutheran Church.  The smaller card is actually a gift card holder.  It's really cute, and a clever design that you will want to copy for any occasion.

This is another card designed by Linda.  She used the new Lace Ribbon Border punch.  LOVE IT!  You may not be able to see them, but each card has rhinestones on it.  If you RSVP and pre-pay for the Stamp-a-Stack by Sunday July 17th - you will get a FREE package of rhinestones to use on your cards.

Please contact me with any questions and to RSVP.

By the way, I completed this post without any help from my children!  Goes to prove, you can teach an old dog new tricks!  Now I may be able to post on a more regular basis.  I made a SUPER CUTE card to send to Ben at camp.  Check back in a day or two to see it!

Christmas In July Stamp A Stack

Linda Taylor and I are having another Stamp A Stack at our church on Saturday July 23rd.   These are three of the cards you can make.  For only $20 you can make 14 cards (2 each of 7 designs) and 2 gift card holders.  Get an early start on your Christmas cards this year, and help the social ministry team at Hope Lutheran Church at the same time.  Part of the registration fee and a percentage of any sales at the event will be donated to social ministry.  We will be having a morning session from 9 - noon, and an afternoon session from 1-4.  Bring your own SNAIL adhesive.  All other supplies are provided, including envelopes.  Prepay by July 17 and  you will receive a FREE package of rhinestones to use on your cards.   Hope you will be able to stop by for some fun, fellowship, doorprizes, and chocolate, of course.

Sneak Preview

 These cards are made with Stampin' Up!'s new In Colors, which you will be able to order TOMORROW July 1st, when the 2011-2012 Idea Book & Catalog goes live!   Everyone who stopped by during my "Get the Scoop" event last weekend, made one of these cards.  Anna will be receiving a FREE PACKAGE of the assorted In Colors card stock, because she was the winner of my new catalog games!

This is another card that was made at my "Get the Scoop" events.  This is a quick and easy card made using the new Pennant Parade stamp set and the new Pennant punch.

Check back to see the Christmas cards that you will be able to make at a Christmas in July Stamp A Stack on July 23rd!  Details on my Stampin' Up! Website: http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/kathywinter/

You're Invited to "Get the Scoop"

I usually try to send handmade invitations to my annual "Get the Scoop" event, but I have been super busy and just haven't had the time.  I just got back yesterday from visiting family in PA for a few days (after taking Emily to catch her flight to Costa Rica.)  When I got home, there were THREE boxes of Stampin' Up goodies waiting for me.  I made this card using the stamp set "Pennant Parade" from the new Idea Book and Catalog.  I also used one of the new punches to cut out the triangles for the cones.

Consider this your (not so ) personal invitation to stop by my house on Saturday morning - anytime between 10-4 or Sunday between 1-4.  I will have copies of the new catalog for you to look at, and you will be able to make a few projects using new stamp sets, card stock, ink and accessories from the new catalog.  I also have some fun games for you to play.  Free goodies for attending!

This event is FREE and no purchase is necessary; although this will be your last chance to order retiring stamps and accessories from the 2010-2011 catalog.

Please visit my Stampin Up website (click on the link below or the link in the left side margin) and RSVP, so I will have enough supplies for everyone to make all the projects.  Contact me if you need directions to my house.

My First "Solo" Post

Emily will be leaving on her first (of three) summer trips in 6 days! She has been giving me a crash course in blogging……..and this is the first post I did entirely on my own. Hopefully she will have time to teach me a few more tricks before she leaves.  (As you can see in the picture above, I need to learn how to crop the photos.)

These cards were made using the new “Strength & Hope” stamp set from the summer mini catalog. From now through August 31, Stampin’ Up! will donate $2 to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation every time someone purchases this set. At our May stamp club meeting, members could choose which of these cards they wanted to make.  The "Blushing Bride" pink card was the favorite of most ladies.  The butterfly card was a close second, with two club members changing the color scheme from Poppy Parade to Rose Red and Rich Razzleberry.

The last two cards were made using Crumb Cake, Baja Breeze, and Early Espresso cardsock and inks.

Thanks for visiting my blog.  Contact me if you would like to order this set.
