STAMPING YEAR ROUND

CRAFT FAIR IDEA

Before you know it, the holidays will be here and craft fairs will be spring-up.  For those who set their good up at craft fairs, I think the headband would be something good to have available to sell.  Here's another idea, I think might be a popular find for the little girl(s) on your list.

How about fabric yoyo barretts?  Good to give anytime of the year.

Once again, with our 99 cents Designer Fabric in the Clearance Rack, you can't find any better deal than that!  Did you know the Designer Fabric packages on sale once sold for $9.95?  So, get them now before they're all gone!

ANOTHER DESIGNER FABRIC YOYO IDEA

Have you been to "Projects Year-Round" for your FREE TUTORIAL on how to make fun fabric "yoyo's" yet?

If you've been there I suggested three of our Circle Dies to create various sizes of the yoyo's.  The picture below will give you an idea of the finished yoyo size depending on which Circle Die you use.  (I've also added this picture to the tutorial site, which hadn't previously been there.)

Here's a great gift you can make using inexpensive headbands from the dollar store for that special little (or big) girl on your list.  As I suggested before, with the special 99 cents fabric offer from the CLEARANCE RACK, now's the time to stock-up and start making holiday gifts.

CLICK HERE to see which Designer Fabrics are available at just 99 cents.

Please note that to get the GREAT PRICES from the CLEARANCE RACK, you must place your order online. Just CLICK HERE to start shopping.  All items from the Clearance Rack as well as regular priced items, from the Stampin' Up! Catalogs may be ordered together and once your purchase reaches a minimum of $150.00 you will also qualify for great "STAMPIN' REWARDS" (same as HOSTESS BENEFITS). 

99 CENTS DESIGNER FABRIC "YOYO"

No, not that kind of "yoyo" silly!  The "Designer Fabric" kind. 

These "yoyo's" remind me of my mom from when I was a little girl.  She was an amazing seamstress and was the one who taught me how to make these.  Only back then, we had to cut out the circles by hand.  Now, with the Big Shot and Circle Dies it makes it so-o-o-o much easier!

Take a look... you can even cut several layers of fabric all at once!

Here are the fabric yoyo's I'm talking about on this fabulous card I made. 

 Don't you just love our new Vintage Faceted Designer Buttons (127555)?

To see how to make these fun "yoyo's", visit my "Projects Year-Round" store, where you'll find a FREE TUTORIAL on how to make these, as well as other fun tutorials, compliments of me!

Just image how many yoyo's you'll be able to make when you purchase the 99 cents packages of fabric!  Each package of Designer Fabric contains three different designs.  See previous post, down below.  Each piece is 28" x 18".   Have you taken advantage of that great offer yet?  Check out all the CLEARANCE RACK items and place your order HERE.

JUST 2 "BOX-OF-CARDS ENSEMBLE KITS" AVAILABLE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC

The "Box-of-Cards Ensemble" online tutorial / class has been a big hit!  (See the top post of this page.)  Originally I offered "kits" for purchase to those who are on my e-mail list. If you haven't yet signed up to receive the monthly "Stamping Year-Round" newsletters, be sure to do so NOW.  Those receiving my newsletters get exclusive information as well as special offers from me, including "first come, first served" offers such as this one...

I had put together 34 of these kits.  Half I used for my live, local class and the other half were offered to those on my mailing list.  I currently have kit 2 last kits available.  So, for now, once they're gone, they're gone!  You won't want to miss out. If you're interested, click on the "Buy Now" button below.

A "private link" to the online tutorial / class for making the box, along with all the measurements of the card stock, DSP and ribbon for both the box and cards.  You will have lifetime access to this link for your convenience.  This may also be purchased separately from the "Buy Now" button at the top post of this page or from my "Projects Year-Round" online store.

The actual "Box-of-Cards Ensemble KIT" includes all the pre-cut card stock, Designer Series Paper (DSP), stitched ribbon, pearl jewels and envelopes to make the box and 5 cards.  It does not include the pre-stamped images, the recommended Embellished Events Stamp set, recommended Finishing Touches Edgelits (or border punch of your choice), 2012 - 2014 In-Color Markers or adhesives.  However, the convenience of having everything cut and ready for you to put this together, along with the "private link" with all th instructions will be well worth the one low price of just $24.95, which even INCLUDES postage fees.

WEDDING CARD #3

Yesterday was the lovely wedding we went to.  Here's a picture  of my family and me with the lovely couple, Mr. and Mrs. Hop Nguyen.

This was the first time we'd ever been to a Vietnamese wedding, which was quite nice.

Here's the 3rd "copied" wedding card I made.  My version...

With more weddings to come in the next few months, I better get busy and make some more.

BTW - to change the subject...  Have you signed up to receive the "Stamping Year-Round" monthly newsletters yet?  If not, you'll want to be sure to do that.  One just went out a few days ago.  If you sign-up now, I will forward it to you.  It'll be just one way to start of a great month!

WEDDING CARD #2

When my family saw that wedding cake card I posted yesterday, all of a sudden I started hearing, "I still need a card too.  Can you make me one?"  But of course!  Let me go into "Pinterest" and see what other great designs I can find.  (wink! wink!)  Come on now, you didn't think I could be creative on my own now, do you? 

So, here's my "recreation" of this lovely wedding dress card.  How do you like how I adding the "bling" to the ring?  I love both our Pearl and Rhinestone Basic Jewels.  That tiny little bit of detail and really make a difference of, "That's nice" to "Wow!  That's really nice!", don't you think?

Large Pear Basic Jewels - 125577

 

Pearl Basic Jewels - 119247

 

Rhinestone Basic Jewels - 119246

Don't forget to come back tomorrow for card #3.  For now - we're off to the wedding!

A WEDDING CARD MADE WITH LOVE

It certainly has been a year for weddings around here.  We have yet another one to go to tomorrow. 

I've seen simular cards like the one here and I've always thought they were so pretty and creative.  So, thought I'd make one and put my own spin on it.  I'm pretty pleased with the way it turned out.  Hope you like it, but more importantly I hope the "happy newlyweds" will as well.

Here's wishing them a life full of love and laughter with one another.  "Til death do they part"!
