CRAFTDOC

I promised more and here they are!  This set is so versatile - I even made some nice Christmas cards.  Both Eastern Blooms and Heard from the Heart are 15% off until Sept 30.

Here’s 2 more and I’m not done yet!  Also used is Heard from the Heart.  Both these sets are on sale right now.  The center flower has a rhinestone removed from a rhinestone brad (just pull the prongs apart with plyers from your crafters tool kit).

I’m taking reservations now for this class.  Contact me to sign up for the class (Erie, PA area) or the class by mail (same price plus $2 shipping - you assemble).  For all my events, check out my demonstrator website - www.kwstamps.stampinup.net

 Convention Stamp Camp 1 - note date change

It’s my 10 year Stampin’ Up Anniversary, so let’s celebrate!  Friday Sept 12 – 6:30-9PM.   My house – 4729 Oakbark Ct.   Make 4 of the projects that we made at convention – ribbon and chipboard bookmark, note card and holder, greeting card and mini-album.  Class by Mail is also available for $15 plus $4.95 shipping.  Due to new SU policy, class kits no longer need to be preordered!  I will ship your kit as soon as I receive your payment and have all the supplies in stock.

Here are a couple more of the cards I have been making with Eastern Blooms (15% off until Sept 30). 

This is an opportunity of a lifetime to begin an exciting journey of fun and friends.  We would love to have you be a part of our Stampers To Remember group in Erie, PA or anywhere in the US.  The beginning of a new catalog, new products being unveiled (the Big Shot and  Decor Elements), and a budget happy kit price make this the day you have been waiting for.  Contact me with any questions.  You can even sign up and order your kit right on line (link to your right).  There are 3 kits to choose from at the $99 price.  Or you can purchase the standard kit for $199 and get an additional free stamp set during this promotion.  Consider this your personal invitation to join the Stampin’ Up! family.  I look forward to getting to know you!

Many of you have your new catalogs by now.   Call/email if you need to make arrangements to get your hands on the newest version of this award winning publication.  

SU has never before had a sale on brand new sets  - and they are great ones too.  If you don’t have your new catalog, you can download it on-line (link to the right). 

From August 11 through September 30, Stampin’ Up! is providing never-before-seen savings on brand-new stamp sets: 15% off select new, die-cut stamp sets from the Fall-Winter 2008 Idea Book & Catalog–no additional purchase necessary. Select items are listed in the table below:

While waiting for the new Fall/Winter idea book and catalog to be live on the SU site (noon MT), here are some samples from the new set Eastern Blooms that I got at convention.  THis set is 15% off for August and September along with several other sets!  Don’t forget to get the new scallop edge punch - it is a must!

Here is a photo of the make and takes that we did at convention.  I just love these projects!  Stop by my demonstrator website in a week or so, and I will have some classes scheduled so that you can make these projects too in Erie, PA.  Remember, Saturday (yes tomorrow) is the last day to get orders to me from the old catalog.  I can take credit card or paypal.   I can start taking orders from the new catalog any time, but they will take a little longer to arrive with the big ordering rush starting Monday afternoon!

My boxes of new catalogs came just in time for my Hostess/Downline Appreciation Event.  We celebrated the new idea book unveiling with 2 projects.  The first was inspired by the Art from the Heart CD that I got at convention.  Stamps are Eastern Blooms and Heard from the Heart (on sale right now!), colors are Pink Pirouette and Close to Cocoa. 

 The second was inspired by a swap I got at Convention made by Laura Mellinger.  I used Sahara Sand and Baja Breeze textured CS to make the shingles and shutters.  The pleated curtain is made with Bella Rose DSP.  Isn’t this cute!

Besides all the great swapping, project demonstrations, displays, classes and make and takes, there were a few exciting announcements.  And I was wondering what else there could possibly be, since Décor Elements and On-Line ordering were announced BEFORE convention!

Shelli (SU founder and CEO) is starting a blog: www.SoShelli.com   There will be challenges and projects – so check it out!

Shelli will have a “signature collection” of some favorite products that she helped develop. 

All NEW stamp sets will be die-cut in the Fall/Winter idea book and catalog.  ALL sets will be die-cut in the Holiday Minicatalog and the Spring/Summer idea book and catalog.

We were able to purchase a WORKSHOP WOW DVD made from many of the presentations from last years’ regional conferences.  I will be showing several WOWS at each of our Erie Area Demonstrator Meetings this year.  If you are in our area, let me know if you would like to attend a meeting as my guest.

Décor Elements (phase 2) were demonstrated.  WOW!  There are some really beautiful projects to make as well as wall application.  There will be holiday images and nursery images in pink and blue.  There were also some Ginormous Flower images in bright colors.  And this is just part of what is to come!

SU will again partner with Country Living to offer a stamping kit.  They will be featuring a 20 page spread in the December issue for the Holiday Collection stampin’ kit.  I can’t wait to see it!

Stampin Success and On Stage magazines will be combined into one larger monthly magazine with lots of projects, announcements, tips and recognition.  This magazine is only for demonstrators.  It and the website projects, instructions, templates and project videos are well worth the investment of becoming a demonstrator.

There was lots of cheering and screaming after this announcement!  Stampin’ Up! will be offering the BIG SHOT die cut machine starting Sept 1.   Some of the dies will be EXCLUSIVE to SU.  Demonstrators will be able to preorder the machines and dies (at the usual discount).  I will get an additional discount since I attended convention.  I had a great time watching Shelli and also the Sizzix gals demonstrating this machine.  They made some incredible projects.  I can’t wait to get my hands on it!  Don’t you love that black checked bag!!!

One of the SU exclusive dies is this pennant with scallop circles.  Shelli made this for her grandson’s birthday coming up.   She said that she and her daughters and grandkids have been having a blast with this machine.
