Swaps!

Wednesday, September 9, 2020
At out September Team Meeting we did a SWAP
What is a swap - each person who signs up will make a card (all the same) for everyone else on the list who signed up. For example we had 16 (the biggest swap so far!) sign up so everyone needed to make 15 of the same card (unless they wanted to keep one for themselves)
At the end of the night they each went home with a variety of 15 different cards.  Cards that they can use for their classes or for making cards to send.
Normally we do a SWAP when a new catalog is introduced but I failed to orchestrate a new annual catalog SWAP so when the August/December catalog came out we said that they could use something from either one of those catalogs but it needed to be a NEW product and the card had to be 100% Stampin' Up! products.
I was quite impressed with the beautiful cards that everyone made. I will share these cards between three different blog posts.
For this first post I will share the cards that I will call "All Occasion"
FIELD OF FLOWERS is the stamp set that Linda K used, and she also used a reversed masking technique to create the circular area.
WHALE DONE is the stamp set that Inez chose for her card, and the very cool WHALE OF A TIME 6x6 designee paper. Each card took 1- 6x6 piece so there was a nice variety of cards.
BLOSSOMS IN BLOOM is the stamp set that Susan chose. She must have used Stampin' Write Markers to color her stamped image. The Thank You stamp is from the stamp set SO SENTIMENTAL
PAMPERED PETS is the stamp set that Stephanie chose. Each card had a different set of pups on it as she cut the cute pups from the PLAYFUL PETS Designer Paper.
NOTHING'S BETTER THAN is the stamp Set that Jodie chose - make me hungry with all those yummy cookies!
TODAY'S TILES is the stamp set that Rachel chose. She had a cool story to share about why this was a must-have stamp set. I'm quite impressed, this is one stamp so she colored it in with Stampin' Write Markers, and look what great coverage she got!!

MORE GOOD NEWS!!
The New Embossing Tool is Here!

I have had my new Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine for 3 weeks now 
and I absolutely love it!
This new tool offers multiple die-cutting and embossing options that I know you will love. This Stampin' Up!-exclusive machine offers the highest quality and makes precise cuts and detailed embossed images every time. 
You will also love how simple it is to store and how easily portable it is. It will make a great addition to any craft room. One of the best things is that it comes with all the tools needed to get started right away, making it easy for you to have a fantastic die-cutting and embossing experience right from the start.
Here are some simple facts that Stampin' Up tell us about the new machine:
  • The firm top handle allows for easy transport and leverage while in use.
  • The machine includes a solid, full surface impact foldout platform to support solid and stable performance.
  • Its high grip feet minimize sliding on surfaces.
  • It has a compact footprint for easy storage and transport.
  • Its platform is designed to naturally guide products into the rollers for a smooth user experience.
  • The ergonomic handle flows well and balances the perfect amount of rotation and pressure for precise cutting and detailed embossing results.
  • You are going to LOVE how smoothly and easily it cuts! AMAZING! And with the new specially designed flatter dies, they cut through like butter!
You may remember that originally, the magnetic plate was not going to be available till later this year. However, it is available TODAY! so you can add it to your Starter Kit!
 I know you are probably also waiting on the Mini Cut and Emboss Machine. But that won't be available until later this year. 
I will keep you posted on the progress of that tool.  

If you do not want to take advantage of this great deal, but still would like to purchase the new cutting machine, here is the list to my quick links to contact me or to shop with me: Just remember if your order goes over $150.00 please do not use the hostess code as you will receive the 10% hostess rewards for yourself.
Now it a great time to grab those embossing folders and dies that you have been wanting but you were just waiting for this new machine to become available

Weekly Challenge

Monday, August 31, 2020
Slim-Line Cards seem to be the newest rage in card making, so for last weeks challenge I challenged my team to make a slim-line card.
I started out the week by sharing my card
I used the fabulous IN GOOD TASTE Designer Paper. I just love this paper! It is full of wood grains, textures, and tiles.  I chose this tile image for the base of my card that measures 4" x 8-1/2" and fits in an A10 envelope.
I used the stamp set HARVEST HELLOS for the pumpkin, the Leaves are from the GATHERED LEAVES DIES, The wheat sprigs from the SUNFLOWER DIES. The DAISY PUNCH & the MEDIUM DAISY PUNCH along with DAISY LANE Stamp Set made the pretty flowers.  My sentiment came from a past Paper Pumpkin Kit.
Colors included in this card: Cajun Craze, Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight, Garden Green, Mint Macron, Pumpkin Pie, Soft Suede
Now to share the cards that my team made for the Slim-Line Card Challenge:
The first card came in from Inez:
Inez used her Whale Done Designer Paper for this fun card. It reminds me of when my hubby and I went on a submarine ride in Hawaii (on our 25th anniversary year) and as we looked out the round port holes we could see all the varieties of sea creatures.
 Rachel's slim-line card has a wonderful fall theme!  Hello, Fall!! She used the TODAYS TILES Photopolymer Stamp Set and made her cute pumpkins from her oval punches.
Lynda used some elements from one of her past Paper Pumpkin Kits for this fun bee-themed card
 Linda used the Baby Wipe Technique for beautiful fall leaves for her slim-line card
Vicki  stamped her own Designer Paper, and I used the ornate floral embossing folder. 
Karen works at her church with the music program so the MUSIC FROM THE HEART (R) is perfect for her. The slim-line card allows her more surface space to add all of these elements for her music director.
This next card is from Barb using the Painted Poppies stamp set!  Love it!
Bonnie made this fun card with the zebras! and added a very special  #10 to personalize this special birthday card on the inside.
Pam made this beautiful card using the FLOWERS FOR EVERY SEASON 6x6 Designer Paper.
This last card is another one that I made - this time I made it for a special order. She needed 4 little girls, 3 brunettes and one blonde. I'm so glad that she like it! I used the BEAUTIFUL MOMENTS Stamp Set and it was all done with watercoloring onto Shimmery White Paper.
Here is the list to my quick links to contact me 
or to shop with me

Weekly Challenge

Last week's challenge for my team was to make a 3D project - something that they might sell at a craft sale or make as a gift for a friend or family member.
I showed them the note holder that I made
Janell was first to send in her item(s)
She made a couple "Rolling Boxes" that she cased from JanB
She also made this darling little box that fits a cookie or 4 Hershey Chocolate Nuggets
She also made a cute card to coordinate
Lynda made a cute purse using the All Dressed Up Dies. Love the colors!
Vicki made a cute candy treat holder. I'm liking all the candy!
Don't miss out on Bonus Days - though August 3rd

 Carla made a pretty box using the Poppy Designer Paper. A cute little treat box for sure
 But she also made these fun treats for her grandson's birthday party
Barb used the Lots to Love Box Framelits Dies & some of our new plaid Designer paper that is coming out in the Aug-Dec Catalog. I just love the Seaside Spray card stock color. Enjoy it NOW because it will be gone when the new Annual Catalog comes out in May 2021. Yes, you heard me right. The Annual Catalog has a new launch date for May instead of June.  Just giving you a heads up.
Inez made some cute calendar cards
If you want to purchase some of these mini tear-off calendars you check them out HERE
Susan made this file folder card with a easel style post it note holder, 
and some cute gift card holders, 
and I can tell you by experience that gift card holders sell very well at a craft sale.
Debbie made this darling gum treat holder and made the Zany Zebra just like the Fruit Stripe Gum Zebra.
So Cute!
Rachel said that she went with the "good 'ol Sour Cream packet style treat holder"
She used the Today's Tiles Stamp Set to create the designer paper
Anna made a gift box using a card front, and the Cute Fruit Stamp Set. Her colors are Melon Mambo and Garden Green
The last one to come in is from Chris who made this cute Tulip arrangement for her Mom
I decided to try the rolling box that Janell made, so here is my version, but I feel it needs to be dolled up somehow.
I used retired card stock (Lovely Lipstick) and retired Designer Paper. (these boxes take nearly 2 full 12x12 sheets)
Jodie made a cute little Christmas box to hold treats
