Musical Birthday Cards

Friday, August 30, 2019
My Daughter-in-law is a violin teacher and she asked if I would be will ing o make birthday cards for her students again this year
OF COURSE!!
Music Theme, of course!
This is when I am thankful for friends who keep older stamp sets, and also who let me borrow.
The stamp set that I used is called MUSIC MEDLEY. Stampin' Up! introduced this stamp set in the year 2000.  I wasn't even stamping at that time!😀
Now to come up with a layout - I searched on Pinterest for a layout design that would work and made this card my own.
 6 boys in her classes this year
 6 girls in her classes this year
For the inside I pulled out my retired SASSY SALUTATIONS stamp set.
Why am I showing this card that uses retired product?
Because I want to show you that you can use any card idea as a layout design. Change up the image and the sentiments. Add some embellishments or ribbon.  The Stampin' Up! Catalogs are some of your best resources for card designs.
Here is a photo of Jessica and some of her students at the last recital
Current Product that I used on these cards: Just click on the words and it will take you directly to my online store.
Bermuda Bay Card Stock
Melon Mambo Card Stock
Whisper White Card Stock
Bermuda Bay Ink
Melon Mambo Ink
Memento Black Ink
Brick and Mortar 3D Embossing Folder
Scripty 3D Embossing Folder
The music note card stock is one I printed off from googling Happy Birthday to You sheet music. (there is always a way to get what you want/need)

You don't have a catalog? Well, just give me a holler and if you don't already have a Stampin' Up! demonstrator, I will get one in your hands. The Holiday Catalog is ready to deliver as well and you can start to purchase from it starting September 4th.
Are you ready to choose what you will use for the upcoming holidays? We've got Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and a sprinkling of Valentines sentiments so that you get everything you need.
TODAY is the last day to take advantage of the great STARTER KIT DEAL! Please use the links provided below to purchase that and get the biggest bang for your buck AND the best part is that you do NOT need to do anything further.  Just reap all the great discounts for further purchases OR like I said do nothing at all. If you are going to purchase the product anyway, why not get it at a discount?
This is how I figure it... When you begin with Stampin' Up! you get 20% discount. If you were to place a purchase without being a demonstrator you would pay 10% shipping and (in Michigan) a 6% sales tax. That adds up to 16%. EVERYONE hates to pay shipping especially and this way you will be getting your shipping free, your tax free AND a little bit more. If you stick with it, you can get 25% discount saving you even more. Grab some orders from your friends to meet your quarterly minimum and then BAM! you all set. You get the product you love and WANT at a price you can afford.
Please contact me if you have any further questions - see the links below.
ALSO TODAY IS THE LAST DAY to get the FREE product of the month offered by me.

The Starter Kit is only $99 and you get to choose $155.00 worth of product of your choice.
This great deal will end on August 31st so don't delay. Please contact me HERE if you have any questions

Everyone who places an ONLINE ORDER  *cannot be combined with a free class offer*(minimum $50) during the month of August 2019 you will receive 1 FREE roll of the AMAZING 5/8" ORGANDY STRIPED RIBBON
This is what Stamping' Up! says about the 5/8" Organdy Striped Ribbon

Before I get started on today's blog post I need to make you aware that the Hostess Code shown on the video today is incorrect.  Please use this Hostess Code even if it says it says it is for September, and thank you so much for partnering with me to earn the Incentive Trip to Maui. Orders are not flying in, but every little bit helps and I appreciate you all so much!
Today I will be CASEing one of my own cards!
I told you MANY times that I am a BIG copier, and that is because there are so many talented demonstrators out there that it is so much easier and quicker to just find a card that I love and CASE it (Copy and Share Everything)
Now that I am doing videos I know that I cannot just do a video on someone else's card.
This is the card that I made for my New Catalog open house in June
Now watch the video to see what I changed up
 
 Change #1
 Change #2
 Stay tuned for a how-to video on how to make this Perennial Flower Punch Tissue Paper Flower
These are the supplies that I used on all 3 cards:

Let me give you an update on the Purple Posy Classic Ink...
We are told that they finally have a product that meets Stampin' Up!'s high standards, but we still do not have a release date as of yet as to when we can begin ordering it.
Purple Posy is one of the 5 new In Colors that were released in June with the new annual catalog.  I will keep you up to date when the ink will be available.
You CAN, however, order the In Color Marker Set in the 2019-2021 colors to help get you through.
Click HERE to find those.

I would seriously appreciate if you would follow the links for everything you need to shop with me at  my on line store.

The Stampin' Up! year is soon coming to a close the end of September

I would like to send out an incentive for anyone who helps me to achieve this goal by September 30 I will let you choose one HOSTESS exclusive stamp set for FREE. You may choose from the ones in the Annual Catalog or the upcoming Holiday Catalog. 

These are the ones in the Annual Catalog 

NEW WONDERS

TIME FOR TAGS - this stamp set has a coordinating punch called TIMELESS LABEL
BELIEVE YOU CAN - This stamp set coordinates with the STITCHED NESTED LABELS DIES

BUT if I could get 18 people to spend $500

THIS WOULD HELP ME TO REACH MY GOAL!!

Happy Accident

Monday, August 26, 2019
This darling card was one that we made in our August Card Club
INSIDE:
Such a fun pull out card that I CASED from Dawn Griffiths
TIP: When you adhere the Designer Paper to your card base, DO NOT put adhesive in the center. ONLY put adhesive on the 4 sides.  When you cut out the square using the LAYERING SQUARES DIES you get these 2 squares and as crafters we never throw out precious pieces like this.  The magnolia print is the back side of the Petal Pink stripes.
I started with a card base of Mossy Meadow 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" scored at 4-1/4"
Whisper White card stock for the outside panel and the inside measures 4" x 5-1/4"
The front piece is embossed with the Layering Leaves Embossing Folder.
Stamp and cut out the "Thanks" from GOOD MORNING MAGNOLIA onto Whisper White Card Stock using the STITCHED LABELS DIES, then thread the 5/8" Petal Pink Striped Organdy Ribbon through the end openings, wrap it around to the back and secure it with tape or glue dots.
The Petal Pink Square is popped up with dimensional and blinged out with some Basic Jewels, Rhinestones.
To keep the sentiment from "floating" I added some Mini Glue Dots behind to secure it.
By the end of the evening I was told that this one was their favorite!!
Here is a list for all the products that I used: Just click on the name of the product and it will direct you to my on line store where you can place your order.  The beautiful ribbon used on both of these cards is my free give-away for the month of August. (with a minimum $50 order)

Layered Leaves Embossing Folder 

If you are interested in joining our Card Club please contact me ASAP: HERE. We will be starting up the new season in September (3rd Monday of each month).

Ouch!

When I was cutting the Designer Paper for the card I featured in yesterday's video I was left with some 1" strips. I never want to waste any of the pieces so I did a quick search on Pinterest and was inspired by a card by Wanda at My Creative Corner,


What I changed up...
The print of the Designer Paper
The greeting on the front
Because of the different Designer Paper, I punched my leaves from Pretty Peacock and Old Olive
And, of course, I don't know what Wanda did on the inside of her card so I guess this was my own design.
Here is a list of the products that I used
Just click on any of the product names and it will direct you to my online store where you can place your order.
Back On Your Feet Stamp Set
Crumb Cake Card Stock
Whisper White Card Stock
Whisper White Thick Card Stock
Old Olive Card Stock
Pretty Peacock Card Stock

Leaf Punch
Subtle 3D Embossing Folder
Memento Black Ink
