Rag Quilt Purse using the Big Shot

militarystampingmom — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 18:53:21 +0000

I'm sure you've seen these bags popping up all over the place. I was very excited to try one out for myself. Having completed my first one I am sure that I will become better at it as time goes on.

The great thing about this purse is that it is made from our Scallop Square Bigz Clear Die (Item Number 115950) and the Big Shot Machine!

I used the large So Saffron button from Button Latte (Item Number 114333) as well!

The very talented Angie Kennedy Juda has created a wonderful tutorial and video that provides instructions on how to recreate this bag.

Thanks for letting me share!

Hugs and Blessings

HAITIAN DISASTER RELIEF

militarystampingmom — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 10:00:29 +0000

Stampin′ Up! demonstrators have a long history of making a difference in the lives of others–especially when disaster strikes and the need is greatest.

On January 12, 2010 a magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck Haiti, leaving in its wake devastation so overwhelming that the Haitian people and their leaders can only look for help from the outside to cope.

Here is the plan:

From now until February 28, 2010, $2 from every I {Heart} Hearts stamp set sold will be donated American Red Cross’ Haiti Relief and Development Fund.

The Red Cross is already well-established in Haiti, and this money will be used to provide immediate relief and long-term support through supplies, technical assistance and other support to help those in need.

Product Name	Item #	Price
I {Heart} Hearts – clear-mount (block D recommended)	118571	$18.95
I {Heart} Hearts – wood-mount	117010	$26.95

This is a simple and straightforward plan; the more stamp sets sold, the greater the difference you make.

Often it is the simplest plans that work best!

Remember that for every set sold, you are making a difference in the lives of people who are suffering.

Stampin' Up! demonstrators share what they love. That's how you make a difference.

Please do everything you can to lend a hand to the people of Haiti.

militarystampingmom — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 17:02:36 +0000

Presenting Simply Adorned, Stampin' Up!'s all-new line of charms and chains, ready for you to adorn with your personal style.

Simply Adorned charms are like lockets—they open up so you can insert your custom stamped image. The frame surrounds tempered beveled glass on the front and flat glass on the back. There’s glass on both sides of the charm, so you can display an image on one side or both. You can create a custom heirloom piece that you’ll never want to change, or you can swap artwork in and out, depending on your mood and your wardrobe. Charms are also great for holding photos.

CHARMS

Stampin' Up!'s elegant nickel-plated charms feature tempered, beveled glass on front, flat glass on back, and a lobster clasp. The locket-style charm with hinge allows you to easily insert custom artwork quickly and easily. Charms are available in two sizes; each can become a cherished keepsake.

CHAINS

The Simply Adorned stainless-steel chain-available in two lengths-features a toggle clasp and exclusive Stampin' Up! charm identifier. The finish coordinates perfectly with the Simply Adorned Charms.

New Punch Designs for the New Year!

militarystampingmom — Fri, 01 Jan 2010 10:17:32 +0000

NEW PUNCH DESIGN

Starting with the new 2010 Occasions Mini Catalog and continuing with all new punch designs going forward, Stampin' Up! has adopted a new body style for our punches!

A few features of the new punch style:

Low-profile, rectangular punch body allows for easier stacking and storing
Punches lock shut for easier storage and transport
Dual labels on top and end allow for easy identification and selection when stored
Available in three sizes: small, medium, and extra-large
New punches allow for larger punched images and more intricate designs while providing greater ease of use.
- Extra -large punch images also allow for two-step designs like the Two-Step Bird punch in the Occasions Mini Catalog
Corner punches allow you to punch a corner design along the inside edges of a page, not just corners
larger, whole-hand handle design provides better leverage for easier use
Available in an exclusive Stampin' Up! color

Part of Stampin' Up!'s commitment to providing demonstrators and customers with the very best crafting tools includes the belief in what we call continuous improvement. Essentially what this means is that even if something works very well, but we see a chance to improve it, we will work to make it even better. While new punch designs will be in the new body style, existing designs will remain in the existing body style for now. We will communicate any further changes as those decisions are made.
