Creativity is out of this world!

Hidy Ho Stampers,

As you know I talk about my team all the time.  I am so proud of all they do and how creative they are.  Each month I hold a creative challenge for them.  September's Creative Challenge was "going back to school".  Here is what a few of them came up with…

Barb came up with the cutest apples made out of our punches and dies.

Her attention to detail is amazing!

Mandie's little girl went to school for the first time this year. 

Her amazing scrapbook page was done in MDS.  So stinken cute!

These entries are all done anonymously so the voting is unconditional.

I'm not sure who did this one but I will find out and post later.

It's absolutely adorable.  It's for the new teacher.  This apple was done with our

circle punch!  Again so stinken cute. (I'll find out who did it

And can you stand it…this is done with our petal cone die and

she used the leaves die and the woodgrain die!

It's so stinken cute.  Again, I only know a number but I'll find out

who to give credit to.

And now the winner was…..are you ready…..here we go….

drum roll pleeeeeeeeeease….

OH MY GOSH…Jeannie you out did yourself.  Her attention to each and every

piece in this display is amazing.

It's a survival kit.

Each drawer opens!  Sooooo amazing. 

Thank you again to my whole team for their particiapation in our monthly get togethers.  We learn and grow from each other (we also laugh lots and eat LOTS)!!!! Remember if you'd like to be a part of this AMAZING group, just go to my website www.stampladee.stampinup.net and click on JOIN THE FUN in the upper right corner!  It's is soooooooooo much fun.

Stamp Camp and Wallpaper Stamping

Hidy Ho Stampers,

Well it's that time of the year again…when I hold my big team STAMP CAMP!  This year we have outdone ourselves.  Download the form and get it in fast…seats are limited.

I wanted to share a little different take on Wallpaper Stamping, so here we go…

When you do Wallpaper Stamping, the "norm" is to stamp on the white and layer with color BUT don't overlook our beautiful colors for stamping and now with our Illuminate Ink, this brings it to a whole new level.  So you are going to cut your pieces first…

Night of Navy:

2" x 3 1/4"

3" x 4 1/4"

4" x 5 1/4"

Whisper White:

2 1/4" x 3 1/2"

3 1/4" x 4 1/2"

5 1/2" x 8 1/2" (fold for card base)

Take your Night of Navy cardstock, center and layer them together putting a little adhesive on the back of each layer to temporarily hold them together.  Using our NEW Illuminate Ink, stamp randomly over all three layers.

Pull these layers apart and starting with your card base, start adhering them together putting a layer of white in between the Night of Navy layers.

Embellish as you see fit and you have one beautiful card.  You can reverse the layers and start with a color base.

Supplies that can be purchased in my store 24/7 www.stampladee.stampinup.net :

Stamps:  #127922 wood mount or 127925 clear mount – Snowflake Soiree

Paper:  Whisper White, Night of Navy, #124005 Silver Glimmer Paper

Ink:  #126857 Illuminate Ink and I strongly recommend purchasing a refill #128333

Accessories:  #127813 Snow Flurry Bigz Die, Rhinestones, #127003 Apothecary Accents Framelits

This technique can be used with ANY canvas and any stamps that you like.  It's easy to change for the seasons and holidays.  So go have fun and play around with it.

One last thing…remember to order your MDS2 one month trial version for free and play around with it.  You will fall in love with it.  While you are doing that, you can print for 31% off ONLY UNTIL SEPTEMBER 14th so hurry and get your projects in!  Let me know if you have any questions!

Have a super day!  Thank you for stopping by.

Diva/Dude Day

Hidy Ho Stampers,

Well Saturday was my quarterly Diva/Dude Day.  We had to modify the name as we had TWO male teammates earn the title this time.  It was so much fun and everyone was so excited for both of them.  Diva/Dude Day was a concept that my friend Patsy Waggoner shared with me a few years ago and she shared at leadership this year. She was an amazing presenter!

My top 10 in sales and anyone that recruits for the quarter is invited to a very special stamping day.  I do all the preparation and they come and enjoy and stamp and eat!   Oh how we laughed!  So this is how it played out…

 My daughter Kate got up in the morning and started prepping the food.

 mmmmmmmm we had mini pies filled with cherries and some filled with apples.

 found this on Pinterest – the dip is in the bottom and the veges are all in individual cups (so much easier).

 Here is one of three tables filled with food.

The tables were set and ready for them to come. 

 Everyone had our new Twitterpated Fabric and Twitterpated Designer Series Paper and Blushing Bride Pleated Ribbon and Twitterpated Buttons and Maze Game pieces and more.

 Here's Dude Chris along with Val and MaryMargaret.

 They were all sewing and NO ONE was whining about it!  Believe it or not, they were all having FUN!

 More sewers.

more fun

more food! 

 Here is one of the cards I created for them to complete.

Supplies used:

Stamps: Fresh Vintage Stamp Set #125115 Wood Mount or 125117 Clear Mount FREE WITH A $50 order (click here to place an online order)

CS:  Basic Gret Cardstock; Twitterpated Designer Series Paper, Blushing Bride Cardstock; Whisper White Cardstock, Vellum Paper

Ink:  Basic Grey

Accessories:  Labels Framelits (from the Occasions Mini Catalog); Twitterpated Buttons; Basic Grey Satin Ribbon for the Fork Bow; Basic Pearls, Dimensionals

 Here is a side view. 

Hope you enjoyed what I shared.  Have a great day. oh oh oh…I almost forgot…

YEAH NEW YORK GIANTS!!!!

Okay so what was YOUR favorite Super Bowl commercial?  Mine was the M & M commercial when the one M & M took off his shell does that mean he was naked?!  :0)  He was so cute.

Calendar pages…

Hidy Ho Stampers,

I worked most of the day cutting for my Calendar Class Saturday and for my pre-ordered kits.  I'm so pleased with the my new calendar.  Here are a few pics…

I did the calendar in My Digital Studio and printed it off on my computer.  It really came out so nice.  You can purchase the My Digital Studio for $79.95 from my On-line Store.  It's an amazing program, I use it all the time.  It's a great gift to ask SANTA for!

I worked with a lot of techniques in this class also.  Here is one of them…

November had a new twist on the Babywipe Technique.  I used a babywipe and put three colors of reinker on it.

ewwww, it looks yucky.  I PICKED IT UP and started to "dab" my cardstock with it.  Just dab, do not rub.

Dab, Dab, Dab

Then take your stamp and stamp over the background and cut out your images.

and here is what it looks like.

Here's another technique I used on May.  I used our white handmade, crocheted flowers and dyed them with our aqua pen and reinkers.  They came out beautiful.  They do lighten up a lot after the dry. 

Well that's it for tonight.  I hope you liked my post.  If you'd like to order a calendar kit, email me and I'll get one right out to you.  You DO need to own the stamp set because I cannot pre-stamp images for kits.  The set that I used is called Every Little Bit #120558 Clear Mount).  It's an adorable set that I love to use.

Just For Women Event

Hidy Ho Stampers,

It's been a busy week and there is still more to come.  I just LOVE it!!!   Busy Busy Busy….well tonight was the Just For Women's Event that is put on by Saratoga Hospital.  Here are a few pictures.

 Here is my table after we got all set up.  It was held at the Saratoga City Center.  What a beautiful new building.

 Close up of my display – Scrapbook and My Digital Studio Display, in the back are some recent cards we've been doing in classes, clubs and workshops. 

On the other side, we have the pins that I make with our Big Shot.

 I was so excited that my daughter Kate got to help me this year.  She helped me prep all day and then we both had a blast meeting people at the event.  She's so good with the people.

 We eat from the time we get there until we leave.  Here are the appetizers -mmmmmm!

 And here is our guest speaker – Christine Holton Cashen – she was soooooooo funny!  We all loved her. 

and then we finished off the evening with door prizes and DESSERTS – DOUBLE MMMMMMMMMM!

The whole evening was absolutely fun.  We shared some quality time with JUST WOMEN!

Thank you for stopping by.
