Fresh from the FARM

DSCN7052

I think this stamp set is just HILARIOUS!!!!  I love the BUGGED OUT eyes on this herd of characters!  This is a card that was shared at my last Demonstrator Meeting - we always share tons of cards with fabulous ideas.

The JUST SAYIN' and WORD BUBBLE FRAMELITS (shown in the product list below) are retiring - OH NO!!!!  I sure hope that the FROM THE HERD stamp set makes it into the Big Catalog!  Or it will be retiring on June 2nd too!!!

This is one of my favorite kits in the Occasions Mini Catalog!!!!  I just LOVE it!  The Hello Life Project Kit makes an amazing gift for anyone!!!  I'm making one for my stamping studio - and I love that I can change out the photos to keep it fresh.  

You can create this sweet frame in minutes.  The kit includes die-cut frames, banners, and accents on Chalkboard, printed, and silver foil papers; window sheet; shaker frame circle; standard and thick Baker's Twine; white thread; wire frame; mini clothespins; and sewing needle.  You can change out the colors if you need something different too!!!  All this for $24.95!

What a GREAT kit to give as a gift - I think teenagers would LOVE this!!!

Sit back and watch this instructional video by Stampin' Up! showing you step-by-step how to put yours together - super easy!

Guest Stamper & Winners!

DSCN6926

I love giving my demonstrators challenges and this one was super fun!  I asked them to make a card using the Envelope Punch Board and Vellum Cardstock.  Here's what the winner came up with....

DSCN6925

Isn't this pretty???  Cindy Ehlers of Neillsville, Wisconsin is the artist behind this beauty! Cindy gets to choose a FREE stamp set of her choice for her beautiful card!!!

Details: 

STAMPS:  Gifts of Kindness, Crazy About You, Your Perfect Day INK: Perfect Plum, Old Olive, Blackberry Bliss CARDSTOCK:  Perfect Plum, Very Vanilla, Vellum Cardstock  ACCESSORIES:  Pearls, Spring Flowers Embossing Folder, Envelope Punch Board

DSCN6924

Funny little story...Cindy and her husband Jim have been friends of the family for years. We used to go to Devils Lake, North Dakota years ago on a week long fishing trip.  I would always bring along my stamping supplies and make cards while I was enjoying my vacation.  Cindy started helping me and then she got to thinking "I could do this!"  

She started ordering her own stamping supplies and before long found that she loved it!  So in 2007 she bought a starter kit and began placing her own orders at a discount.  She helped me with a couple stamp camps up north.  AND then 3 years ago she got her courage up and and offered her own class once a month!  And it was a huge success!!!!  The stampers in Neillsville absolutely love it!  Cindy retired from the Sheriff's Department at the end of February and now has 3 classes a month!  She's really enjoying retirement now that she gets to do what she LOVES!!!  WAY TO GO CINDY!
