2 more cards for the Holidays.

No challenges with either one... Just having fun :-).
For this first one I used a stencil and using a sponge dauber, sponged it with Ruby Red as well as Champagne Shimmer Paint on Red Riding Hood Card stock. The only other item on this card that comes from SU are the felt snow flakes.

To give a bit of dimension I used silver stickles for the dots and a silver Gel pen for the sentiment.
This lovely folder was given to me by a very talented Beverly (How nice of her)
This card also uses a few of the SU items... Big Shot, Red Riding Hood taffeta ribbon and card stock, Sahara Sand card stock, white gel pen, Shimmer paint, sponge daubers, corner rounder punch, crystal effects, red beads, paper snips, old olive classic ink, whisper white craft ink and white embossing powder, etc...

Other items; Liquid pearls, silver and gold gel pens and lace tree embossing folder.

Can't wait to try other tricks with this folder... Come back soon, I might have something else to show you :-)

Stampers 6 club...Sign up today to get the first pick at your Hostess month:-)

This Stampers 6 Club will start in January 2010.

With this club you can choose the month you would like to be virtual hostess, so first come first served.

What Is This?

This is a monthly club run for 6 people for 6 months.

How Does It Work?

Each month each of the 6 people spend $35 or more in the Stampin' Up! Catalogue. If 6 people spend $35 each this adds up to $210, which equates to a virtual party, and this means that you are entitled to a Hostess Level 1 Stamp Set plus $20 of free goods of your choice out of the catalogue. Each of the 6 people will have a turn at being the hostess.

What Do I Need To Do?

Just let me know you are interested and I will add your name to my list as we need 6 people to start a club. Once we have 6 people I will send out a catalogue to you and you can decide on what you are going to buy for $35 or more in your first month.

What Do We Get Out Of This?

You get a free Stampin' Up! catalogue worth $11.95, at least a free Level 1 Hostess Set plus $20 of free goods of your choice from the catalogue, When it is your turn to be the Hostess, you are welcome to bring in outside orders to add to your party. (You can get Level 2 plus more money to spend if your sales are higher). You also get to buy some of the things on your Stampin' Up! wish list.

When Can We Start?

We can start as soon as 6 people are interested. Just contact me at kewlstamps-n-more@sympatico.ca to either be added to my list or for more information.

The new Stampin Up! Occasion mini catalogue and sale-a-bration will soon be coming out and I can assure you that they are full of really lush new stamp sets, punches and other embellishments and other goodies. Everything colour co-ordinates making it really easy to make cards and other projects. I look forward to hearing from you.
