My Passion for Cards

2015-01-14T12:51:00.001-05:00

Hello everyone, I am back from the great void. I won't bore you with the details but please forgive my absence. I'm hoping that 2015 is going to be a banner year for me. I have recently become a demonstrator for Stampin' up and I am loving it. I know if you are interested in paper crafting you are familiar with SU. I hope to show you some wonderful stamps and projects for your cardmaking and scrapbooking. Since Christmas is come and gone I will still show you some of my cards an

d projects from SU.

Between being sick and starting to learn about a new company, time just flew by. I will try harder from now on. I am now a demonstrator at Stampin' Up. Whoo hoo! Their stamps are son now. They have also gone into alcohol markers and they seem to be rally good. I only have a few so it will be a little time before I'm really familiar with them. They also have a great promotion going on. If you have been wanting a Big Shot machine this is the time to purchase it. They are offering the Big Shot Bundle. Buy the Big Shot for only $99.00 and get a stamp set and a set of coordinating framelits for free. If you already have the Big Shot, they are offering several sets of stamps and coordinating framelits at a 15% discount. Our catalog is ready and waiting for anyone who makes a purchase from me. Go to www.mimu.stampinup.net and make a purchase of at least $5.00 and I will send you a free catalog. The stamp below is on pg. 39, Postage Due, The price is 21.95 for wood (132064)and $16.95 for clear (126397). This is not one of the Bundle stamps. but they are really great too.This offer ends on August 31, 2014. Have a great day. Mary (mimu)

June fun!

Wow! halfway thru the year and I'm wondering how much I have accomplished. I have made quite a few cards so far this year. I have started to learn how to make video's, I have become a Patreon user. My classes at the Shepherds Center are going well. and all seems good with the world.

Club Posh is doing Christmas in July again. When we join we gather together about $20.00 of good unused products from out stash, make a card and add some candy and wait for out partners name to be delivered to us. That's the hard part. Sometimes we get duplicates of what we already have, so I donate them to my local Shepherds Center. It's a win, win situation

Close to My Heart is doing well. Our stamp of the month for June is called Kaboom. It's all about 4th of July and celebrating America. Hope you will go over to my site www.marycronnerman.ctmh.com and check it out. You will find it on page 10 of the catalog.

On Thursday, 6/12/14 I am holding a card party for my stamping buddies. I will post pics soon after. Gotta go now, need to go to Lowe's and buy light bulbs for my craft room.

I am a moderator on Club Posh. We use Judikins stamps but are not restricted. We can use any stamp that we have in our stash. Come on over to Club Posh and take a look at all the wonderful cards made by out members. Here is a Celtic Cross that was made for me in our card of the month swap. The green turned out a little dark but it is a beautiful warm green. Be sure to come over to Club Posh and take a look at all out cards.

Get Organized!

I am now working on my next 8 week session with the Shepherd Center. I have chosen to teach both Creative Stamping Techniques and Beginning Quilting. We'll see how that goes. I have been watching YouTube and I am so in love with the mini albums that are out there. So many wonderful artists. If you get a chance go on over and look for Cathy Orta's mini albums. Although it takes a while to complete one of these albums, it is well worth the time. Back to my work, I have been totally involved with my expression2 machine and making loads of boxes. Here is one that I have put in Picas 3. More will come later. There is a tiny little box inside the blue box.

Hey everybody, I have worked on cards from 10:00 am til 7:30 pm and I am pooped. Can't show them yet but I will soon as they get posted on Club Posh. I love doing cards and looking at other stampers cards. There is nothing more exhilleratting then taking a plain piece of paper and making it pretty or funny or even somber with stamps and markers and your creative abilities. You should really try it once.
