How About a Birthday Card?

Here are a couple of Birthday cards I made.  The Black and Silver one I cased.  I just loved it!  Then I thought...how cute would it be with bright colored balloons?  So here is my version of the original one I cased from Mary Brown. The balloons were made with the Small Oval Punch and the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack.  Clever, huh?  The Happy Birthday is from the Stamp Set - Sassy Salutations.


Sign up for my Birthday Bash Card Class on February 10th, and this may be one of the cards to select from...: )

Stamp Shoppe Projects

Here are pictures of the cards and scrapbook pages we made in Stamp Shoppe this month.  You really must come to this event!  We love to have new people come play with us!  Our ladies always love the projects and come back for more the next month.  If you would like to join us in February please contact me.  February will only have ONE session and it will be Friday night the 15th, 5:30 to 9:30.Click HERE for the class details!

Best of 25 Years Anniversary Collection

Introducing our 25th Anniversary Collection

Stampin' Up is celebrating their 25th year in fabulous style! Introducing the "Best of 25 Years" Anniversary Collection, a special-edition series of 12 stamp sets featuring the "best of" artwork from the past 25 years, plus one exclusive new image in each set! Each month will have a different theme. Ready to see January's collection? It's all about birthdays!


Some things to note:

• All Best of stamp sets will include 3-5 images, including a never-before seen image, and will be priced at $14.95 (clear-mount only).
• While they are releasing just one Best of stamp set per month (with a new theme each month), ALL of the Best of sets will be available to purchase until March 31, 2014.So if you missed a month you can still get one for your collection until that time.
• A new flyer will be released every month for each new Best of set, so head over here to see the images and get the details!
• You can get the Best of Anniversary Collection sets (no limits) on my shopping website: www.lindbarnes.stampinup.net 

BONUS TIME! Starting in February Stampin' Up is including a collector's card and 25-year proof of purchase sticker with every Best of set. Collect six stickers, and send it in to redeem a FREE set of your choice valued up to $14.95! Free sets must be redeemed no later than April 30, 2014. So don't forget and pitch the sticker that comes in the January set--save it to add to the card later!
Isn't that the coolest idea? I love it! I know I'm sure to find at least six of the anniversary sets that I just have to add to my own collection. I actually got this set for free at our Leadership Conference last week!

Sale-a-bration samples

These first two cards I found on my friend Mary Fish's blog and I loved them.  So at our last Ladybug Gathering we all made these two cards.  These 3rd one I got as a swap at Leadership and I am not home to look at the name on the back.

The bicycle and sentiment is heat embossed with Cherry Cobbler embossing powder.

This is a note  card using Bloomin' Marvelous stamp set  from the Sale-a-bration brochure. The colors are Whisper white, Sahar Sand, Basic Gray, and Summer Starfruit.

I am loving the Feeling Sentimental Stamp Set in the Sale-a-bration Catalog! It has this old bicycle, a vintage ferris wheel and an old phone booth.   I will post some more samples from this set later.

Valentine Card Class

These are the cards my ladies made on Monday.  We did 10 cards, 2 of each design.  A couple of them I cased exactly from another demonstrator a couple I used the idea and added my own touches and one is my own design!  Of course I always forget to make a note of who made the cards I copied.  So Sorry!

This one is my design.

This is a 3 x 3 card added to a 1/4 piece of Card Stock.  So cute!

New! Single Stamps

New Single Stamps

Ten Never-Before-Seen Images!
You wanted more? You got more! We've had a great response so far to our single stamps. So much so that we are making ten more never-before-seen images available as single stamps through March 31, 2013.





 Here are the two flyers to see them better.

• Single Stamps: Assortment 3
• Single Stamps: Assortment 4

Details

• You can find the stamp item numbers on the flyers.
• Single stamps can be ordered in the online store or on a customer or workshop order.
• These won't be sent in our typical cases or packaging; they'll be packaged in cello bags. If you'd like a case for your stamp, you can buy our Clear-Mount Stamp Cases that come in packs of four (item 119105).
• The stamps come in clear mount only and do not come with a Clear-Mount Block, so you'll need to buy a block separately if you don't already have one. The recommended block sizes can be found on the flyer. 
• There's no limit on how many pieces you can buy.
• These stamps are only available through March 31, 2013, so get them while you can!

Hostess Club Projects

I want to show you what we are making this month in our Hostess Clubs.  These are groups of friends that meet  on a specified day once a month to make 2 great cards.  These ladies have so much fun together and look forward to this event each month.  I am always happy to start new groups, so if you would like to join an existing group or have a group of friend who would enjoy getting together once a month let me know! I will give you all the details!

I received a swap at Leadership much like this one, but I decided to change it a bit and use the NEW natural trim and a flower from our new flower trim.

I cased this card exactly from pinterest bu I added a piece of the Natural trim to it. This card uses our Pool Party Core'dinations Card Stock, Sanding Block, Honeycomb Embossing Folder, Hearts A Flutter Bundle and some More Amore Specialty DSP.

More Leadership Samples!

Sharing some more beautiful samples from Leadership.  These were made by our wonderful demonstrators. These were  few of many on our display boards. I will keep posting these so you can get some ideas and see how some of our new products can be used.
