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)!

Hi girls,
I know I know you have been wondering where I've been. Well I got my order from the NEW Holiday Mini Catalog and I've been playing (nonstop) with all my free new product! I'm getting samples ready for you and having a blast doing it. That's one of the best perks of being a demonstrator – you get to order the product early and I get most of mine for free, YIPPPEEEE! I had $400 in free money to spend on this catalog so I got at least one of everything and some several of! Okay enough for the teasing….
I'm also working on my swaps for Founder's Circle. This year 135 of the top demonstrators will be going to St. George Utah for five days of sheer bliss! We talk and share and just have a stinken riot. This year we are going to have a Sock Hop Jammie Party. During that Jammie Party, we do our annual swap. I'm so excited with the way my card came out. Now to start the assembly line. It's fun and I just love doing it. I can't show you the completed card until after I get back but I will show you the layers as I'm doing them…there is a lot to it. I did share it with my clubs this past week and they said they LOVED it. YIPPPEEE!!!
Okay, that's it for tonight, I just wanted you to know where I was. Enjoy your day and I'll be back. Thank you for stopping by.

Demonstrator Extravaganza!
Well hidy ho and how are ya doin' stampers?
What an awesome stamping weekend. Friday night it was my Club 2 Die 4 (Big Shot Class); Saturday it was my Deb's Diva Day and today was my Demonstrator Get Together. It was awesome. TOTALLY a fantastic stamping day! Here is one of the make and takes we did. It was created by Beth Roberts and won for the "most liked project of the day"! It is so beautiful.
I totall enjoyed making this card. Lots of layers that you can't see here.
Here's a side view of one of the layers.
This was only one of five make and takes we did. I gave everyone one of our Moonlight Smooch Pearlized Accent Inks #119969 found on page 195 of the big catalog. This is going to look AWESOME on top of this flower. Go ahead girls add it to your project! Oh my gosh! Gorgeous.
Anyway, gotta get to bed. Hope you enjoyed your weekend as much as I did. Thank you for stopping by! Good night.
Deb’s Diva Day
Hi stampers,
I hope you all got a chance to watch my second video on the coconut card. So much fun.
Today was my Diva Day. That is a day I set aside each quarter for the girls in my downline that have earned it. In order to earn this incentive, you must be in the top 10 for sales for the quarter. Each month I post in my downline newsletter who the top ten are for that month. Then at the end of the quarter, I post who earned it for the quarter. They are invited to my studio and I shower them with make and takes and Stampin' Up! goodies to take home. This month I featured the new Distressing Essentials Kit #118762.
Distressing Essentials Kit #118762
I focused the whole afternoon on very vintage cards. Here is my favorite card of the day.
Here's a close-up of the flower.
Stamp Set: Afterthoughts #118388 Wood Mount or 120121 Clear Mount – Level I hostess set
Cardstock: Cherry Cobbler, Basic Black and Newsprint DSP #117166
Ink: Basic Black
Accessories: Distressing Essentials #118762, Wide Oval Punch #119859, 1 3/4" Circle Punch #119850, 2 3/8" scallop Circle Punch, #118874, Antique Brads #117273, Basic Black 5/8" Stain Ribbon #117285
There is a lot of new product on this card. That was only one of 6 cards that we did today. They now have a great class they can take to their customers. The girls enjoyed themselves but what warmed my heart were the stories they told when they first got there. One said she sent her husband on to Maine that morning with friends and she would meet him there (she was not going to miss Diva Day); and one was going to meet her family up to the Great Escape after she finished Diva Day; another had a family picnic she was going to join after Diva Day; another drove 1 1/2 hours with a shoulder that was just operated on just so she could attend my Diva Day. I am so glad I started these days. I enjoy them as much as the girls enjoy coming. They work hard to earn that position and they deserve the day of pampering. THANK YOU NEW YORK INKETTS (that's the name of my stamping group)!!!!
If you are a person that used to be a demonstrator and would like to jump back on board, Stampin' Up! has a SUPER special going on right now. You can RE-join for only $35. Contact me and I will get you the paperwork ASAP, hurry, this special is only good for a little while longer!
I hope you enjoyed my post and I'll see you tomorrow. I have my Direct Downline meeting tomorrow! Phew, busy weekend but I'm trying to get everything in before I leave for convention! Take care and I hope to hear from you soon.
Oh wait, I have to share one more picture with you. After Diva Day, we took Katie to Sherrie Lynn's Gluten Free Restaurant in Latham then all three of us went to see the new movie "Despicable Me", it was a 3D movie…here's the picture Katie took of Kevin and I :0) Too much fun!…I laughed so hard! It was all good.
Those are my 3D glasses!
The Video … here it is…
Hi,
Are you still with me???? Okay I had technical difficulty! I got the whole video done and published it YouTube but it was REJECTED! Yes, rejected….your videos have to be LESS than 10 minutes long. So you all clearly know how long I talk and how much I enjoy it…that's why I love Stamnin' Up! so much! I LOVE to teach! Anyway, I edited it (there are quite a few stops and starts but I think it still came out okay). This is another lesson learned. By the time I'm 80, I'll have this down to a science! Anyway. Here is my video, it's on YouTube as well. Take care and enjoy. JUST CLICK ON THE PICTURE BELOW! Enjoy your day and thank you for stopping by. Let me know what you think of it, I LOVE the feedback.
Here is my coconut card video, click on the picture.
Golden Nugget for Free Product…
Hi girls,
Okay so I'm the last demonstrator in the WORLD to update her blog. Well I've been busy…getting things ready for you! I can't wait to show you what I've been working on. But that will be in just a minute.
My Annual Stamp and Accessory Sale went so fab-tab-ulous. I was with wonderful friends all day and we laughed and visted and they went home with some great bargains. Now my shelves are clear for my first order to hit the front porch (I will be making my UPS man a card with some cookies)! He just loves me!!! And for those of you that attended, the winner of the GOLDEN NUGGET was….
Pat!
YIPPEEEE….she was the one that won the golden nugget. All friends that attended the 10th Annual Open House received a beautifully decorated box with product inside plus a hug and a kiss from me (a HERSEY Hug and Kiss that is); then ONE lucky friend received the box with the GOLDEN NUGGET just like in Willie Wonka!
This is the Bitty Box and Envelope Die (#115967) from the 2010-2011 Stampin' Up! Idea Book and Catalog with the scallop punch flowers for the top. I made 50 of them and they were all gone by the end of the day!
Pat is seen here holding the nugget and the box. When she comes to club, she will see what she has won! So stay tuned.
Next I wanted to share with you Katie's 21st Birthday (my baby). We celebrated by going to the Saratoga Gaming and Raceway (voted the most beautiful quarter mile track in the US). It was so much fun and she had NOOOOOOO idea it was happening (I LOVE SURPRISES)! So we started off the evening with a buffet in the club house. They put the VIP princess and her party in the best seats in the house! We were overlooking the track and got to see every race and watched the sunset all at the same time. It was gorgeous. Here's a picture of Kate and I (and yes she was a winner and I don't mean that because she was wearing that tiara)…
Kate and I
So that is my family update for today…now for more stamping news…Look at how I reorganized my new stamp pads…
How do you like that, even I can see the names! So how did I do it?
First I printed out all the colors on label sheets (Avery 5160). I've made a pdf file for you to downlaod onto your labels. Click on the picture BELOW to download the pdf file (phew I did all the hard work for you!).
Click the picture above for the file.
Next, you will need to cut the labels into strips with your Stampin' Up! Fiskars Cutter (# 104152) so your punch will fit.
Next, take your Word Window Punch (#119857) and punch out each label. You are now ready to attach them to your stamp pads. Because they are printed on labels, you just peel and stick – "get out of town" yes, it's that easy!!!!! WAH LAH…you are done.
Hope you enjoyed my post today. See you tomorrow, enjoy your day and thank you for stopping by my blog.
Tropical Shirt Card
I wanted to get this posted before I forwarded it to your email…go to my blog to see the directions www.stampladee.com
This shirt card was the make and take I did for my Downline Get Together today. Each month I hold a downline meeting or get together for the girls that sign up with me as a demonstrator. We stamp and learn stamping techniques for four hours. It is so much fun. Today we had a Tropical Theme. The girls really got into it. They came dressed in tropical clothes, they brought tropical food and we stamped tropical cards. It was a lot of fun.
The card above was a pattern I found online. You take a regular card and cut off the top back at 1 1/4". Then you slit the front on both sides 1 1/4" (this makes the collar).
Then we stamped it with the Tropical Party Stamp Set (#118515 Wood Mount or #120081 clear mount). The colors are stamped with Old Olive, Rose Red, Tempting Turquoise and Chocolate Chip. The buttons are made with the new circle punch from the Punch Pack (#118309) and the Bitty Buttons (#118761). The stamp set, the buttons and the punch pack are all found in the Summer Mini Catalog. They loved it.
Here's a closeup of the buttons attached to the shirt.
This card was only one of 6 we made today. We also did a swap and went home with 23 different cards that others in the group made. And if that wasn't enough fun, we also had two demonstrations by two VERY talented demonstrators. One of the demonstrations was called "Ink and Iron" and the other demonstrtion was how to make jewlery from stamping supplies. It was a spectacular meeting. So much fun!
So what do you think? Tropical?!
This is a tropical pin made out of cardstock and the Circles #2 Die. It was made exactly like the flowers we made with the fleece. Isn't it gorgeous??!! Thank you Ruth.
Wanna know what the 10,000 in 2010 is all about? You have to ask me!
Anyway, I wanted to share what a great time we had at our get together today. It's not too late to take advantage of the $99 starter kit so you can come to the next stamping get together. You only have three more days to jump in and get it. The special is OVER after Wednesday. So contact me at stampladee@aol.com and we can get you all hooked up with the new products! Remember the kit is filled with NEW stuff from the NEW catalog…
and speaking of the new catalogs…I've been working hard to get them ready for you…they are not quite ready yet but they are getting there.
New Catalog preparation! Lots and Lots and Lots of them!
Enoy your evening and thank you for stopping by!
