Team Shares

Monday, March 15, 2021

Today I thought that I would share the cards and projects that my team shared at our monthly meeting last week. I love to give them credit. I know that they may have CASED or been inspired by other demonstrators, but I do not know for sure and none of them have a blog to link you to.

All that being said... here are some cards to inspire you

Chris is on the Activities Committee at work and was asked to make a little gift card hold for the employees that would hold a gift card for a shamrock shake. Very Clever. The leprechaun's beard is a stamp and die from one of our retired ice cream sets

Ronda made this set, it was a birthday card and treat for me for my birthday

Linda shared 5 cards and you can see the middle one I'm showing you what it looks like when you open it. It's a sort of window step card and she used the In Good Taste Designer Paper.

These are the cards and projects that Carla made. She puts her cards and gift-ables at a Bridal shop in her town. The one on the left is a Post-it Note holder, and the other - a cute little basket that would be great for table favors at a shower.

Inez played with her Butterfly Brilliance Bundle - They are so pretty. The one on the bottom left was cased from my friend Julie Gilson

These three are from Pam - isn't it great how we have such a variety of designer paper to use on our cards - it really makes card making simple. The top right card was a sketch challenge that we did at our team meeting last month

Jodie is the creator of these three cards - she also used last months sketch challenge for the middle card. The card on the top right was one she made for my birthday.

I hope these creations will inspire you to make up some cards and send them.

I tell my team that if we are going to MAKE cards, then we MUST be the BEST CARD SENDERS!

Two members of our team recently lost a parent and they expressed how thankful they were to be thought of and for all the beautiful cards that everyone sent them.

I know that I REALLY appreciated all the birthday cards that were sent to me this month (and they are still tricking in). this is a sampling...

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, May 4, 2020

Last weeks weekly challenge to my team was to make a card using a stamp set that is on the retiring list.

I shared with them this card that I made last year using the stamp set FABLE FRIENDS

I made this one for my daughter in law who has our 3 youngest grand children, and then I made one with only 2 little baby goose for our daughter who has our 2 oldest grand children. (Last year)

The first card sent in is from Carla - she used the BEST CATCH stamp set and said she is sad to see it go. (me too)

Rachel sent in the second card ... Rachel is new back in to stamping and only had one current stamp set that is now on the retired list, so she used SWEETLY SWIRLED. She made one with and one without the sweet little pup from BELLA & FRIENDS

A perfect sentiment for our stay-at-home-mandate

Anna made this card using BROADWAY BIRTHDAY

Barb used the stamp set HONEY BEE

And so did Janell - and Janell said she used the bubble wrap technique

Pam made this very spring-like card with DAISY DELIGHT

Just an FYI Although Daisy Delight is retiring, Daisy LANE is NOT retiring

so you can still make gorgeous daisies and use those punches

Karen made a sympathy card using FLOURISHING PHRASES

Lynda made a cute thank you card using ANIMAL OUTING

I bet there are a lot of people you can send thank you cards to during this time.

Who has helped you get through this time?

Inez made this next card with the BEE THANKFUL stamp

And Vicki used WOVEN HEIRLOOMS stamp set - just an FYI - the Woven Heirlooms Stamp Set is RETURNING but the fabulous frame dies and embossing folders are on the RETIRING LIST. I love these frames so very much and am super sad to see them go. Be sure to get your order in before it is too late and they are all gone.
