Hello Beautiful

What happened at the Meadowlands?

November 15, 2016 1 Comment

While most people know the Meadowlands as the place where the NY Giants play, hundreds of Stampers across the NorthEast gathered together last weekend at the Meadowlands Exposition Center for the Stampin’ Up! convention called OnStage.

I traveled to the OnStage Event in Secaucus, NJ with two of my down-line, and we had a fabulous time! It was a fun-filled time spent with my downline, and other demo’s from the Northeast. OnStage included time to see new products, stamp and create with those products, recognition for the top demonstrators (including my upline Mary Fish, #1 Demonstrator in the WORLD!!), training from top leaders at Stampin’ UP! and of course, the new catalogs!

Here I am with Kathy Snyder & Lynn Pahoski enjoying ourselves at the hotel.

Look at me! So surprised and elated to be recognized for Sales, Recruiting and Leadership!

Kathy was recognized for achieving a Quick Start level! Yah, Kathy! 🙂

Here we are at the table waiting for the fun to begin!

Stampin’ UP! provided some photo props.

Make & Takes are such a fun part of this event: We made 4 on Saturday: xwod11731

That’s the outside, here is the inside! How exciting; another Pop Up Die!!!

The highlight was the catalog reveal of the 2017 Occasions catalog (January 4 through May 31) and the 2017 Sale-A-Bration catalog (January 4 – March 31). This is my favorite perk of being a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator – I get to see the catalogs BEFORE they are revealed, and order product from those catalogs! If you want to enjoy this perk yourself, then join me in this incredible Stampin’ Up! Journey! For the cost of the starter kit, $99, you get all this and more! Talk to me about getting your starter kit today. You can join just for the perks, and stay for the discount, or drop without any obligation.

Either way, you’ll want to start saving today, because there are so many fabulous products in these new catalogs, that your wish list is going to be huge. (BTW – I offer Gift Certificates. When your loved ones ask what you want for Christmas, tell them you want Stampin’ UP! – have them contact me to order a gift certificate, or better yet, fill out a Wish List. List the items you want, or the $ amount of a gift certificate, and the names of people who normally shop for you. Get your list back to me and I’ll contact your people on your behalf.

Thanks for letting me share my fun trip with you. I hope that you will consider joining Stampin’ UP! and join me at the next OnStage event in April 2017. Click here for more information on joining Stampin’ Up!

See you soon,

It’s back!!!!

November 14, 2016

It’s back!!!

And I couldn’t be happier! My blog has been knocked out service since Oct. 19^th!!! I’ve been (patiently) waiting for it to be restored. And while I was able to have my blog restored, I did lose all of my October blog posts. A small price to pay, as I was prepared with the possibility of losing everything and having to start all over.

It’s been a long time, and boy, do I have a lot to share with you! For starters, look at this! nancy-with-catalogs I had a fabulous time at the OnStage Event in Secaucus, NJ last weekend where I got to get the new 2017 catalogs. It was a fun-filled time spent with my downline, and other demo’s from the Northeast, gathered at the Meadowlands Convention Center. I’ll share more about my trip to OnStage in a blog post later this week.

The highlight was the catalog reveal of the 2017 Occasions catalog (January 4 through May 31) and the 2017 Sale-A-Bration catalog (January 4 – March 31).

I’ve had the chance to play with one of the soon to be released stamp sets called Cool Treats. This is going to be one of my favorite stamp sets. It’s so fun and playful. I’ve made my November birthday cards from this set, and it’s so much cheery; I can’t wait until the coordinating product suite gets delivered to me tomorrow. (Why didn’t I choose Express Shipping? The wait is so long!) pitk62081

Another stamp set is called “Nailed It”. I won this stamp set during Prize Patrol, and I am so happy I did. I made this card for my hubby as soon as I got home. The sentiment was perfect, and since he’s a woodworker, the tools are perfect for him. saw you

Here’s me so happy I won this at Prize Patrol:

Wedding Wishes

September 26, 2016

My husband and I were invited to a wedding this weekend, so of course you know that means I would be giving a handmade wedding card, right?

wedding-wishes

I chose Very Vanilla and Tip Top Taupe as my color combo. I knew I wanted the “Wedding Wishes” sentiment from the Rose Wonder stamp set, but I wanted to use the flowers and leaves from the Botanical Builder Framelits dies

I used the soft, lace-y Tip Top Taupe 1″ Dotted Lace Trim. This item is retired, but it is now available in the Clearance Rack! SCORE!!! But only while supplies last so don’t wait if you want to get this gorgeous ribbon. (it’s available in other colors, too!) Layering Ovals framelits helped my crop out and layer the sentiment in a snap.

If you want to order any of these products, click here to start shopping! If you place an order with me of $150 or less (before shipping & tax) please use HOST CODE: CSC6VNTH (If your order is over $150, please don’t use this host code as you will then be eligible for host rewards.)

Speaking of Weddings, did you know that my most re-pinned item on Pinterest is a wedding card? You can view it here. I was contacted by someone over the weekend too, to ask if I would make that card for her. Of course! I sell my cards for $6 with a coordinating envelope (plus shipping). If you want any of the cards you see on my blog, or Pinterest, just ask. I’d be happy to make any of my cards for you, or to custom design a card just for you.

A Million Dollar Hooray

September 23, 2016 4 Comments

A clean and simple card for a big celebration: A million dollar Horray

When I got started in my Stampin’ Up! hobby, I turned to Mary Fish of Stampin’ Pretty for a daily dose of inspiration. And when I joined Stampin’ Up! as a demonstrator, I joined under Mary because A) I liked her papercrafting style, and B) she had a reputation for being a great support to her team, hence her nickname as “The Fearless Leader”. Mary just achieved a major milestone in her career; she just became the 14th demonstrator to sell $1,000,000 in lifetime sales! This card is on it’s way to Mary to congratulate her on this success.

A simple striking color combination of Night of Navy and Whisper White and lots of white space keeps this card Clean & Simple. A few strips of Washi Tape, and a sentiment from the Perfectly Wrapped stamp set cropped with Layering Circles Framelits topped off with a few Metallic Enamel Shapes. Simple, quick, clean and uncluttered.

I made my envelope to match by just layering strips of Washi Tape on the flap. Speaking of Washi Tape, let me share with you my tip for keeping your Washi Tape organized. I have little mesh bins on the wall in my stampin’ space that I keep my rolls of Washi Tape. They fit perfectly but I don’t always know what roll goes with what, or what color it is.

Solution? I cut a piece of cardstock (4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″) and I gently peel off the sticker from the roll and adhere that to the cardstock. I write the year and catalog name on top; list all the colors, and finally a strip of each pattern. These cards go in the basket with my Washi Tape. Organized! 🙂
axux42501

Stampin’ UP! offers so many Washi Tape assortments. So versatile and easy to use, Stampin’ UP! offers them in patterns and colors to coordinate with other products. My card features a 3-roll assortment from the Floral Boutique Product Suite. The card above is a 5-roll assortment from the Pop of Pink product suite.

Why don’t you add a package or two of Washi Tape in your next order and see how simple it is to use. You can view the different collections below, and You can order Washi Tape right here.

I hope you enjoyed my card, and I hope Mary will like it too! Please leave me a comment and let me know what you think. If you would like to buy any Washi Tape, or any other Stampin’ Up! products, click here to shop my online store.

Thanks for stopping by My Stampin’ Space today. I hope that you find inspiration when you visit my blog. Make sure to subscribe to my mailing list – the 12 Weeks of Christmas is coming and I don’t want you to miss out!

This is what I promised you….and a bonus!

September 14, 2016

If you read my blog regularly, then you’ll know that I had my first stamp class in a long while on Monday night. It was SO GOOD to stamp you again! I’ve missed it. I’m glad to be back 🙂

Yesterday I shared one of the two projects we made in my Monday night class. If you missed that post, you can see it here.

This is the second project we made: I’ve been seeing these little milk cartons a lot lately on my Pals Facebook Groups, and while I did not come up with the idea, or the measurements, to make this, I wanted to share it with my class. Of course, we filled ours with candy! What would Halloween, or a Stamp Class be without chocolate?

Milk Carton

The side view shows the fold that creates the milk carton look.

I made another one; just a tad taller, to perfectly fit the scene from the new Halloween Night Specialty DSP.

Mini Milk Carton Grey I love how the sentiments from Spooky Fun combine with the Halloween Night Enamel Dots to create the perfect little message panel.

The perfect way to close up these milk cartons is with the 1/8″ Circle Punch and the Coordinating Halloween Night Baker’s Twine. But as you can see, my cartons are conspicuously missing this Twine. That’s because someone forgot to order it!!! How can I be so foolish, you ask? Well lets just say that sometimes the best lessons are learned from the mistakes we make. So please learn from my mistake: when you order a Product Suite, make sure you order everything in that suite; especially when the item is on your wish list! You’re welcome!

I wrote up instructions on how to make these cute little boxes, along with a diagram, for the ladies who attended my class last night. And I’ll share those instructions with anyone who orders from my online store and uses HOST CODE 9QWR7K6M (if your order totals $150 or greater, before tax & shipping – do not use the host code but redeem the Stampin’ Rewards for yourself!) This Host Code will expire at midnight on 9/14 so don’t wait! Just email me to let me know you’ve placed your order and I’ll email the file to you! Easy Peasy!

I hope you enjoyed these projects as much as the ladies last night. What a fun way to send in treats to your childrens’ or grandchildren’s class, or for your own co-workers. You can even give out treats to all the kids in the neighborhood in these little boxes on Halloween night! You can decorate the boxes for any occasion; maybe even a baby shower, just by changing up the color, paper pattern & sentiment.

When ordering, don’t forget to shop the newly stocked Clearance Rack and our weekly Special Offers to for great savings! And please remember to use HOST CODE 9QWR7K6M.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you were inspired by what you saw here today. Please leave me a comment; I love to hear from you. Now go create something fun! Creative time is therapy 🙂

Happy Stampin’

What’s all the Fun About?

September 13, 2016

This past weekend, I finally got to play with some of new goodies from the holiday catalog! It took me long enough, but I sure did have lots of fun! What’s all the fun about? Halloween Night – the new product suite from the 2016 Holiday catalog. If you know me, you know how I love product coordination and all of the stamps and dies and accessories in this product suite play so well together!

First, I just had to play with my Halloween scenes Edgelit dies. This is what I made:

Halloween Scenes

Isn’t this so much fun? I just love these dies. And they pair so well with our new Foam Adhesive Strips (#141825). They are strips of stampin’ dimensionals and I used them to prop up the fence layer to create that look of dimension between the fence and tree layer.

Notice the little bow? It’s the new Kraft Rope Trim. I love this because it so thick. It is actually 3 strands braided together; I separated the 3 strands and used just one!

I had a class tonight and the ladies in my class really loved this set and making this card too!

We made another project too, but you’ll have to come back tomorrow to see that project!

In the meantime, if you want to order any of the Halloween stamps and dies I used, click here to shop the new Holiday Catalog.

Birthday Fiesta!

July 17, 2016 2 Comments

The first time I laid eyes on the llama in the Birthday Fiesta set I knew I had to have him! And I knew exactly what I wanted to do! I wanted to make a Llama Pinata! And I wanted the Pinata hanging above a bunch of people in party hats! Don’t ask me why, or what prompted that thought, but that’s what I wanted to do. And today, I did it.

Llama Pinata

My Fringe Scissors helped me make layers of fringed cardstock that I used to cover the llama which I had cropped out of coaster board (retired) using the Fiesta Time Framelits. After I layered the fringe, I just snipped around the coaster board llama. The Llama Pinata is dangling from a piece of Baker’s Twine.

The party hats were simply cropped from the end of the Tree Punch and topped off with a little scallop circle (Both punches are now retired as well).

The background has a festive, party mood thanks to the “Festive” TIEF.

Ok, so I know that the eyes make him look a little wonky. Maybe I would have been better off leaving no eyes on him at all in retrospect. But I still am glad for the chance to bring my vision of a Llama Pinata to life!

I have more cards that I made with this product suite that i will be sharing in the next few days. If you feel that you need to have this Product Suite too, click here to start shopping! This Product Suite has a stamp set, Framelit dies, Designer Serires Paper and TIEF. And you can BUNDLE & SAVE on the stamp set and Framelit dies! A Cardstock pack is also available.

All the ‘thanks’ belong to you!

July 13, 2016

It is still sinking in, but yesterday, I reached a great milestone in my Stampin’ Up! career. I reached $10,000 in sales for the Stampin’ UP! year (since Oct. 2015). This is the first time that my sales were that high in any given year, and I have only YOU to thank for that!

I truly love and appreciate each and every one of my customers and I am always humbled and grateful when someone places an order for their Stampin’ Up! supplies thru me. I know that you can choose from many other demonstrators, so it really means so much to me when you choose me! 🙂

As a way to express my thanks, I am going to give EVERY CUSTOMER who places an on-line thru me of $50 or more, a package of my favorite new embellishment from the 2016 Annual Catalog. The Metallic Enamel Shapes are such a versatile addition to our Embellishment offering! With hearts, stars and 2 different sizes of circles, there is something here for almost every project!

And if it can get any better, it does! Did you get everything you want from the new annual catalog yet? Since it came out only a month ago, you probably still have some items on your wish list, and we have some great news for you! For every $50 USD you spend in between July 7 and July 31, you’ll get a $5 USD Bonus Days coupon that you can use August 2-31. This is a great opportunity to shop from your wish list, whether you buy your favorite products now or later in August with your coupons!

So click here to start shopping and get double the gifts when your order reaches $50 (before shipping and tax). Hey, if you would use this Host Code when you place your order, I’d appreciate that: B47BNP6E

Thank you so much for helping me share in this achievement! I couldn’t have done it without you! 🙂
