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…

Hidy Ho Stampers,
I just love this time of the year. We've been decorating and baking all weekend. The smells that come with this holiday are just scrumptious. One of my favorite smells is fresh cut Christmas trees and their trimmings. We decorated our freshly cut tree and put up our wreath on the front door. I found a card on another site and it looked just like my front door so I had to copy it! Here it is…
Supplies Used:
#119686 Early Espresso Card Stock
#119685 Cherry Cobbler Card Stock
#112534 5/16" Neutrals Jumbo Brads (Silver)
#123764 Clear Mount or #123762 Wood Mount Pines and Poinsettias Stamp Set (2011 Holiday Mini)
#102283 Versa Mark Pad
#124114 Pewter Emobssing Powder (2011 Holiday Mini)
#124108 Stitched Felt Winter Wishes (2011 Holiday Mini)
#124105 Cherry Cobbler 3/8" Quilted Satin Ribbon (2011 Holiday Mini)
#122334 Simply Scored Scoring Tool
#104294 Sticky Strip
To make the raised panels on the door, I made up a template. I then penciled it on the back of the Cherry Cobbler Card Stock.
Then I used the Simply Scored Scoring Tool #122334 to make the panels. Notice how I used the markers at the top so I could line everything up. I did several cards so it was easy peasy with my new tool.
I then turned it 90 degrees and connected the other lines. When you turn it over, the panels are raised. I will give a little hint on this card – you need Sticky Strip to adhere the felt.
Isn't this so stinken cute! Love it. fa la la la la la la la la Hope you enjoyed my post, thank you for stopping by.

Soooooo much new stuff….
Okay, so happy September 1st. It's such an exciting time. We have so much new stuff going on right now. Yipppppeeee yahoooooo I'm soooooo excited, I don't know where to start.
Here is the new Holiday Mini. Everyone should have received their copy, if not, contact me and I'll get one right out to you. Oh my gosh, it has SINGING and RECORDABLE cards in there!!!
And here is the September Stampin' Up! special…
Like I said, there is so much good stuff going on right now! The Clearance rack has all kinds of new stuff in there including discounted cardstock. HURRY if you want any of it, it's "while supplies last". Make sure you go and check it out. You must order these online, you cannot order them with me or in a class or club…they must be ordered online. Told you so….lots going on. I'll report on more tomorrow.
Oh my goodness,What is better than having your UPS man drive in the driveway with a STAMPIN' UP! delivery??? This is!!!!
It's a Stampin' Box and a STAMPIN' UP! UPS SPECIAL DELIVERY ENVELOPE! So you are asking what's inside of it?
This is!!!! It's all my travel documents for my upcoming Founders Circle Trip. Isn't it cute.
Here is the inside view. Do you recognize the stamp pattern on the inside material? What stamp set does it resemble?…..If you have received your NEW Holiday Mini Catalog, you can find the stamp set on page 12. It's called Day of Gratitude. Make sure you read to the end so you can see a card that I'm featuring today with that stamp set.
and look, it matches the bag I received at Convention for earning the Founder's Circle Trip. Everything we get on the trip will match these two pieces. So keep checking back for updates.
Here is a card made by Robin Warren. She was in the Demonstrator Swap I participated in. Remember the Christmas Card I showed you the other day? The swap theme was the New Holiday Mini Catalog. This is the set that Robin used. Isn't it beautiful. Now I have a card that matches my bag! :0) Oh my….it's the little things that just tickle me! :0)
Last night I did another workshop for two very good friends. It was a special workshop in a couple of ways. Lauren and Jackie held the workshop. Lauren has been with me for 11 years, since I began my Stampin' Up business on 9/9/99. But what made it even more special is that one of her guests was the hostess from my very first workshop, hi Janelle (Janelle has held many workshops for me also). So this workshop was filled with some good memories. ANNNNNND on top of all that, what made it doubly special was the two girls decided to have a themed party. They decided to do a Chicks and Chocolate get together with their friends…so this is how it played out…
So here is Janelle and the chocolate fondue made by Jackie, look at all that cut up fruit (better than the Melting Pot). Lauren made chocolate brownies with all kinds of super stuff on them (whipped peanut butter, butter, confectionery sugar and milk - she WHIPPED it all together then drizzled the top with chocolate). She also made something chocolatey salty, she called them Chocolate Toffee Brittle (saltines, butter, brown sugar, walnuts and lots of chocolate)…oh my gosh….they were heavenly! But what is a chick and chocolate party with out something to wash it down! So….the girls had fun trying to find as much drinkable chocolate stuff as possible. Here we go….
Lauren and her husband Glen went to the Finger Lakes last week and went to a lot of the wineries out there. Guess what she found? CHOCOLATE WINE! The gals that drank it said it tasted like YooHoo. Remember that stuff? Do they still sell YooHoo?
And then they found MudSlides that were chocolate. And look what's next to it?! Can you guess what's on the left?
She made chocolate ice cubes with….
the chocolate milk she bought for ME!!!! :0) How cute is that?
We had so much fun at her party. After eating and sipping, we sat down and made three projects. We made a Wipe Off board with a tile and our decor elements (they LOVVVVVED this project). Then they made two cards. It was a very successful workshop and everyone had fun chatting and eating and just being girls! Let me know if you'd like to have your own themed party. Book early for Sale-A-Bration (which means BOOK NOW)!
