Sale-A-Bration! January 5 through March 31, 2010

It's not too late to take advantage of this time of year to earn even more FREE paper, ink, ribbon and other products PLUS learn new ideas by hosting a Stampin' Up!® workshop. My workshops are "hands on" - each guest creates two FREE projects.

Here are some additional reasons why you schedule a workshop during this spectacular event :

HANDMADE Gifts from the Heart are always appreciated.
You get to spend quality “ME” time with your friends.
You get to meet other like-minded individuals to share your obsession er, I mean hobby with.

No time for a workshop, you can still take advantage of this event because for ever $50.00 you spend (before sales tax, shipping and handling) you get to select any item from the Sale-A-Bration brochure. Spend $100.00 (before sales tax, shipping and handling) and select TWO items, and so on and so on. If you spend $300.00 (before sales tax, shipping and handling) you not only get to select SIX items from the Sale-A-Bration brocure, you get to select one more since that amount equals a qualifying hostess order! This is in addition to all the regular Hostess benefits (which is quite substantial at the $300.00 level)!

You can place your order directly with me or through my website.

Or Call or email me today to schedule your workshop. I promise a FANTASTIC time for you and your friends! Phone: 717-692-2732 Email: connie@conniestamps.com

Don't forget my new blog: www.conniestamps.com where I have the most current and up to date information.

Sale-A-Bration begins on January 5, 2010 and the Occasions Mini Catalog goes live the same day.

Where: My House - 337 Pine Street, Millersburg

Samantha and Bradyn

2009-12-12T16:27:00.002-05:00

Here is a scrapbook page of my handsome great nephew Bradyn and his beautiful mother Samantha. I used My Digital Studio® and the Christmas Jingle download. This paper is beautiful in real life too. I really love using this software. It is so easy to use. My great nephew was born on my birthay so he is a little extra special.

Don't you just love the hat? LOL He really is precious. I have a couple of non-Christmas pics showing him sticking out his tongue. Too cute since I taught his mother to do that too.

If you order My Digital Studio® (Item #118109 for $79.95) before January 4th, you will receive a FREE Décor Elements (up to a $16.95 value). See the Holiday Gift Giving Guide (PDF File) for a listing of all items included in this promotion. Have a great rest of the weekend. Connie

Bermuda Bay Angel

2009-11-21T14:18:00.002-05:00

Here is another version of the Angel from the Holy Triptych set. I ran a piece of Bermuda Bay through the Big Shot using the Florishes Texture Plate. Then I "antiqued" it by sponging Basic Black over it. I wanted to do something a little different than always using a shade of brown. I think it turned out very nice.

I hope you continue having a great day,

Connie

Holy Triptych Angel

2009-11-21T11:22:00.002-05:00

I hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful day in Central Pennsylvania. I've been busy stamping away and I'm trying to use some of my scraps and came up with the project below.

First, I ran a piece of Thoroughly Modern Designer Series Paper (Item 115673) through my Big Shot (113439) using the Daisy Texture Plate from the Texture Plate Kit #4 (Item 114531). I used a Sanding Block (Item 103301) to sand the raised image. I stamped the Angel from the Holy Triptych set (Item 110370) on Whisper White (Item 100730) with Basic Brown Classic Ink (Item 104315). Then I colored the image using a variety of Stampin' Write Markers. I used the 1 3/4" Circle Punch (Item 112004) and adheared it to a leftover 2"circle from the Circles #2 Die (Item 114526) in Chocolate Chip (Item 102128).

I stamped the sentiment from the retired Star-Studded Season set in Basic Brown on a scrap piece of Kraft (Item 102125). I tied a 12" piece of Very Vanilla Taffeta Ribbon (Item 109071) around a scrap piece of Bermuda Bay (Item 115317) and completed the assembly.

I really love the colors in this DSP.

Have a great day!

Connie

Soft Suede Christmas

2009-11-20T19:52:00.002-05:00

Hello. I hope you have been enjoying the Remarkable Holiday Blog Tour. Click here to begin at the beginning.

My entry today is my version of the card posted by Kimberly Van Diepen. My supplies are limited so this is how I did it. I also used a stencil made by running a piece of THICK window sheets (Item #114324) through the Big Shot using the Lattice Die (Item #115958). Using a Sponge Dauber (Item 102892) I sponged Soft Suede Classic Ink (Item 115657) on the Whisper White cardstock (Item 100730). I stamped the snowflake trio from the Christmas Punch Level 2 Hostess Set (115366) over the stenciled image. I stamped the "A Merry Little Christmas To You" on Whisper White cardstock and punched it out using the Wide Oval Punch (Item 112082). I roughed up the edges of both the stenciled layer and the layer cut out of Kraft cardstock (Item 102125) using my Paper Snips (Item 103579) and by wetting the edges with water. I tied it up using Very Vanilla Taffeta Ribbon (Item 109071). I mounted all on a base of Soft Suede with a sponged edged using Soft Suede Classic Ink.

I hope you all like my version of Kimberly's beautiful card.

Banner Change

2009-10-17T19:27:00.002-04:00

I went back to my original banner until I can figure out the banner I made with My Design Studio. I attended our RemARKable Stampers team meeting today and it was it's usual inspiring event. We learned a lot of new things, received encouragment, and had tons of fun. I got to see some examples of cards, calendars, and albums printed by Stampin' Up!s printer. The quality of these items is incredible. I'm working on some samples using some techniques I learned today and I hope to show you soon. Be blessed, Connie

My New Banner

2009-09-19T08:59:00.003-04:00

I thought I'd try my hand and creating a blog banner using Stampin' Up!s My Digital Studio. I sort of like it but the text is a bit blurry. I'll have to fuss with it later 'cause I'm have to get ready for a class I'll be doing today. I'll post pictures later. Let me know what you think. Have a SUPER day, Connie

Holiday Blog Tour - Day Four

2009-09-13T00:00:00.005-04:00

Holiday Blog Tour - Day Four Well, today is the last day of the RemARKable Stampers Holiday Blog Tour. I hope you had a wonderful time and have lots of ideas. What I chose to show you is a color combo that I saw somewhere and I really fell in love with it. Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive, and Very Vanilla. I ran the Very Vanilla card stock through the Sizzix Big Shot using the Petals-A-Plenty Textured Impressions Folder from the Holiday Mini. I stamped the Merry Christmas stamp from the Holiday Best Level One Hostess set in Rich Razzleberry. I overstamped it with Versamark and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. I added Rich Razzleberry Polka Dot Ribbon. I trimmed all the corners with the 3/16" Corner Rounder. I hope you enjoy it. Next on the tour is Jackie Bottomley. Have fun. Thanks to everyone for their comments on my cards. I got a smile every time I received one. Be blessed, Connie

Holiday Blog Tour - Day Three

2009-09-12T07:20:00.004-04:00

Holiday Blog Tour - Day Three Isn't this fun? Today I want to show you another card using the Snow Swirled stamp set. I really love the versatility of this set. This time, I stamped the snow flakes in Whisper White Craft Ink and while still wet, I dusted it with Dazzling Diamonds. I used Kraft card stock for the card base. I edged a strip of Whisper White with our Scalloped Edge Punch and layered it with another strip of Kraft card stock. I love the simplicity.

Now on to the next stop. I wonder what Jackie Bottomley has to show you, Until tomorrow, Blessings to you, Connie

Holiday Blog Tour - Day Two

2009-09-11T00:00:00.006-04:00

Get ready for day 2 of the RemARKable Stampers Holiday Blog Tour. I hope you are getting lots of ideas My sample today uses Whisper White, Real Red, and Old Olive. I stamped the snowmen from the More The Merrier Hostess set in Basic Black and I colored the snowmen using Real Red, Summer Sun, Bashful Blue, and Only Orange Stampin' Write Markers. I stamped the Merry Christmas from Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set and then tied it all up in a neat bow of 1/4" Real Red Grosgrain Ribbon.

Next, go see what Jackie Bottomley has to show you. Blessings to you, Connie

Holiday Blog Tour - Day One

2009-09-10T06:00:00.003-04:00

I hope you are enjoying all the beautiful examples of this tour by RemARKable Stampers. For my example I stamped the tree and sentiment from the Snow Swirled set in Basic Black Classic Ink on Whisper White cardstock. I matted it with Basic Black and Melon Mambo (one of the new In Colors). I also used Melon Mambo Polka Dot Grosgrain Ribbon and 1/4" Basic Black Grosgrain Ribbon. I added some sparkle with Dazzling Diamonds glitter and the 2 Way Glue Pen.

Please visit Jackie Bottomley at her blog to see what she has for you to see. Let me know if you have any trouble with this link. Happy stamping Connie

Coming October 1 - My Digital Studio

I am EXHAUSTED!

2009-08-23T20:31:00.002-04:00

Why you ask? I just got home from a 3 day, 2 night, stampin' extravaganza with about 100 other like minded women. Oh My Goodness, it was superb but tiring. I was truly overwhelmed at the sight of all those tables, inks, glitter, embossing powder, Big Shot dies, rubber stamps, paper, and of course CHOCOLATE! This was a Safari and Jungle themed event. Elephants, giraffes, monkeys, alligators, tigers, lions, etc. We learned a lot of new techniques and twists on some existing techniques. I will be posting some pictures soon. I need to rest now....
