WOWZER Double Fork Bow with Deb Valder

Written by Deb on July 25, 2014 · 1 Comment

Hidy Ho stampers,

Did you know….

In a 1984 proclamation, President Reagan delighted future generations of Americans by designating July as National Ice Cream Month. He further declared the third Sunday of the month to be National Ice Cream Day and called for all people of the United States to observe the day with “appropriate ceremonies and activities." So go have yourself an ice cream and enjoy it! :0)

Izzy's very first ice cream with papa!

ohhhhhhh!!!! so cute!

So today's card will show you how to do a DOUBLE FORK BOW…yeah, that's right!!!!! a DOUBLE fork bow!

see how gorgeous that is! Two loops instead of one!

Beeeeeeautiful!

So how did I do that? Here you go…

so what do you think? I hope you will try it.

A FEW REMINDERS:

1. My new class schedule will be on my website soon. If you can't make the classes remember you can order an online class. The two cards above are going to be included in my HEY THERE BUDS Class. It's GORGEOUS!!!! So make sure you check out my August calendar.

2. HURRY – the end of the month is getting closer. The July special is "When you buy three packs of Designer Series Paper found on pages 186 and 187,then you get one more pack for free" it's almost a $15 savings. Hop on over to my online store www.stampladee.stampinup.net and make sure you purchase now before the end of the month creeps up on you!

Use Hostess Code 2AKEA4SS when you are shopping.

3. If you were receiving TWO emails for my posts, I think we have it fixed now. You should only be receiving one. When I switched over to Feedblitz instead of Feedburner, some of you did not opt out of the Feedburner. So to make a long story short, it should be fixed, if it's not, let me know.

3. August is coming and so is our Big Shot Special! Stay tuned for more details!

Grab and Go Bags with Deb Valder

Written by Deb on July 6, 2014 · Leave a Comment

Hidy Ho Stampers,

I forgot to post the bags…

These bags are so nice. I had to come up with something that my customers could put on the stamp table so they weren't always reaching down in their BIG bags next to them. So these are PERFECT! Everyone can have it on the table at the same time, right in front of them – they stay neat and organized and everything is right at the finger tips.

The cost of the bag is $85.00 (plus shipping if you are not local to pick it up) which is exactly what the contents costs if you were to purchase it yourself. I give you the bag for free – it's a $12 value. This is what it includes:

A beautiful stampin' BOW
An itemized list of the contents in the bag (all laminated and ready for you to re-order anything you run out of)
I make you a personalized name tag (with everyone having the same bag, it was an identity thing :0)
glue dots
anywhere glue sticks
stampin dimensionals
snail adhesive
snail refill
crystal effects
multipurpose liquid glue
2-way glue
sticky strip
adhesive remover
bone folder
paper snips
silicone sheet

I have one of these bags that I take to every stamping event I attend. I also use it on my stamp table when I'm creating so everything stays organized. It's the best thing I ever came up with. I've sold so many of them and EVERYONE loves it. I try to personalize it so it's unique to you! If you are interested, contact me.

Blendabilities meet Crystal Effects Technique with Deb Valder

Written by Deb on July 6, 2014 · 20 Comments

Hidy Ho stampers,

Today here in Ballston Spa, New York, is the PERFECT weather day, the sun is shining, it's not too cold, it's not too hot and there is a very slight breeze. Sooooooooo gorgeous. Perfect day to be sitting on the front porch in one of our rockers writing to all of you! So look what came to visit me while I was sitting…

do you see the little baby fawn over by the garden shed?

It's a Bambi – tiny with spots – his mom was snorting at Kevin the other day!

he visits often! we named him Morton.

Today's card technique is soooooooo much fun and it was totally NOT what I should have been doing today (does that ever happen to you). But I started it accidentally and kept on going because it was so much fun.

too stinken cute right?

these are cloudy because they were just made and still wet

here you can see they are drying

can you tell the difference? When they are dry, they become clear.

now take your blendabilities and color.

so this is the card without the embellishments

cute but there can be more…

tah dah!

can you see how they are raised?

Okay you guys that were raised in the 70's, remember the Smiley faces?

I used Crystal Effects to make the Smiley Face and for the letters.

More Smiley Faces!

And I just love this one…

Used the Kinda Eclectic and Think Happy Stamp Sets!

Oh happy days!

Thank you for stopping by my blog today, I need to get back to what I SHOULD be doing! :0) instead of what I WANT to be doing! Have a great day, see you tomorrow.
