looking more like a crime scene

2014-04-07T12:15:00.000-07:00

A little view of a piece in progress. Every time I use red it seems to end up everywhere and it starts to look more like a crime scene in the studio.

This was a really fun page to create. I just love how it looks like a bunch of little worlds.

tagging stars

2014-03-10T13:30:00.000-07:00

Picking through the trash around here can sometimes become a fast and simple gift tag.

I started out with a 1 1/2" x 2 3/4" tag. Then using 2 different blues, Tempting Turquoise & Island Indigo ink from Stampin' Up just sponge the inks all over the tag go as dark or light as you want. I like to use 2 to 3 colors all in the same color family. By using more then just one color you create depth.

So here is where the trash part of this tag comes in. I pulled a piece of tissue paper & a piece of watercolor paper out of my recycling bin. Ok so it wasn't the trash, but still it was all headed to the big bin at the top of the driveway. Using a big star punch with the tissue paper and a very small star punch with the watercolor paper I punched out a few stars.

Using some washi tape attach the tissue paper star to the sponged gift tag.I used 3 different ones, you can use 1 or 2 different kinds.

To make the smaller star stand out a little bit attach 1/2 of a dimensional to the small watercolor paper star and place on the big tissue paper star to finish up this fast & simple tag.

Change is good...

Big changes going on around here! Kicking it all off with the launch of my brand new oh so cool looking, easy to use and website www.studio23hudson.com. Stay tune for all the exciting things to come!

Paper Pumpkin

2013-01-19T20:47:00.002-08:00

It's a Magical Paper Escape Every Month!

Sweep away the mundane-your creativity carriage awaits!

I'm Paper Pumpkin . . .
I come to your door each month (a fully decked-out creativity carriage). I'll help you to escape your life with some paper fun.
I come in a sweet box, but you'll really love what you find on the inside:
All the stamps, ink, paper, and accessories to create pinable projects. Create stuff like cards, journals, décor, and more!
Paper Pumpkin by Stampin' Up! is a new monthly kit program that anyone (even you) can enjoy!

Getting Started
It's so easy to get started. Simply sign up for the program starting Monday, January 14 by visiting www.mypaperpumpkin.com and click Get it (don't forget to make sure you have me as your Stampin' UP! Demo) . Every month a new, surprise project kit arrives at your doorstep. Just think of the anticipation of creating a fun project to pin, showoff, and share with your friends and family-every month!
Of course, you'll want to know more. So here's the nitty gritty:

Each month Stampin' Up! sends you a unique, surprise kit with a project-cards, journals, décor, and more! (We've even color-coordinated, measured, and cut everything for you!)
Each kit includes stamps, ink, paper, and accessories-everything but adhesive.
Each kit gives you a 30-minute creativity escape.
Stampin' Up! will ship your Paper Pumpkin on or around the 15th of the month.
You need to sign up for a kit by the 10th of the month to get that month's kit. If you sign up on the 11th of the month, your first kit will come the next month. (Let's say you sign up on May 10th, we'll send your kit around May 15th. If you sign up on May 11th, we'll send your first kit around June 15th.)
A Paper Pumpkin membership is $19.95 per month (and shipping is included!)
There's no commitment, you can cancel your monthly Paper Pumpkin at anytime. You can also skip a month if you want.
Starting in early March, we'll offer a Try-It kit if you'd like to try Paper Pumpkin for one month.

Here's How You Order
Sign up for your monthly Paper Pumpkin starting Monday, January 14 by visiting www.mypaperpumpkin.com and click Get it. (don't forget to make sure you have me as your Stampin' UP! Demo)
Starting in early March, you can try Paper Pumpkin for one month by visiting our online store.

A Free Gift in Your Very First Kit
The Welcome Kit is the very first Paper Pumpkin you will receive in your first month of membership. The Welcome Kit includes a free gift-a clear acrylic block!

How so fun does this all sound! A box full of FUN!
Happy Stamping

News: Stampin' Up Phone App!

2012-11-15T13:02:00.002-08:00

There’s an App for that!

It has been hard to keep this a secret-we’re so excited about it! Stampin’ Up! has created a card-making application, and we already have a great name for it: Simply Sent! This iPhone app allows customers to create an e-card-from a template or completely on their own-and send it via e-mail or post it on Facebook. And it’s free!

Here’s something you should know about this app: it’s not My Digital Studio on a mobile device, not even close. This scaled-back version will only give customers a taste of what they can create when they buy MDS. We want to get our name and our art out there so more people than ever before will know about Stampin’ Up! We hope you’ll get excited about it as well and that you’ll do the following:

Download it from iTunes or the App Store, share it with all your friends, and post a review! The more positive reviews it gets, the more prominent place it takes in the iTunes store.

Try it out! Click here >

All about being single...Stampin Up' Style that is

2012-10-26T09:06:00.001-07:00

A few weeks ago we announced that until January 2, 2013, you and your customers have the opportunity to purchase single stamps from the Word Play, Perfectly Penned, and Seasonal Sayings Stamp Sets. Based on the interest we have seen so far, it appears to be a hit! And now I’m excited to let you know that we have added ten more individual images-including three images that you have never seen before!
Click on the links below to view all of the new “Single stamps”

A few notes:

Click on the images below for the full size flyer with special items for each stamp.
These won’t be sent to you in our typical cases or packaging; they’ll be packaged in cello bags. If you’d like a case for your stamp, you can buy our Clear-Mount Stamp Cases #119105 that come in packs of four .
This offer is available for clear-mount stamps only.
The stamps won’t come with a Clear-Mount Block, and you’ll need to buy a block separately if you don’t already have one. The recommended block sizes can be found on the flyers below.
To order easily online, simply type the item # into the Search Box in my online store.
