Product Share - Stocking Punch and Coordinating Stamp Set

It's not even quite October yet, and I'm going to get you thinking about holiday and Christmas cards.  


I don't know about you, but my mindset isn't anywhere NEAR Christmas at this point, but I have totally fallen in love with this new punch and stamp set and I wanted to share. 




The stocking builder punch is the latest in our line of builder punches, and of course it has a coordinating stamp set also, "Stitched stockings".   


I recently challenged myself to do all 5 cards for a team swap I was doing with this set and decided that I would make only one of them a Christmas card, so that I could show the versatility of this awesome new set.  

The swap was a 10 +1 swap meaning that for each of the 5 spots, I was to make 11 cards to send to our hostess - When all is said and done, I will receive 50 new cards for my inspiration station and all of the cards are made with toys and tools from the Holiday Mini!  I cannot wait to get my samples back and share them with you! 

Would you like to host a workshop or class featuring this dynamic duo?  Let me know!  Want to have them for your very own? Contact me to order, or visit my demonstrator website 24/7 www.iscrapnstamp.stampinup.net!  Please don't hesitate to holler if you need a little help whittling down your wishlist, or if you'd like to come and take a look at some of the products and samples from the Holiday mini to help you make up your mind.  


I'll post some of my creations with this set shortly and will have plenty of new cards to share once the samples arrive in the mail. Waiting seems to take way too long..  


Whatever you're up to today, I hope there's some Crafty in it :)

Don't forget to stop by and bring your canned food donation, and do your part to help fill the Kriska truck to 10,000 items!  One canned item may not seem like much, but if we all come together with a can or two - you might be surprised what we can do!

Card Share - ScrapNStamp Cafe Card

I thought I'd start out the week by sharing one of the projects we made this past week with one of my ScrapNStamp Cafe groups.  


This simple card features the Sizzix embossing template "stripes" (Page 218) on whisper white card stock (the photograph makes it look almost pink - but I assure you it's white!), certainly celery card stock (page 178), certainly celery grosgrain ribbon (page 178) and of course just a little bit of 'bling' in a single pearl accent (page 198).


The tag is punched with our decorative label punch (p 209) and stamped with a sentiment from the Happy Greetings Stamp set which I only just realized is no longer in our catalog - but you can use any sentiment of your choosing.  


Would you like to make cards like these? Sign up for one of my ScrapNStamp Cafe Classes to make 2-3 projects. Class is just $20 or FREE with a $35 order placed that night.  


SNS Cafe is held monthly in the following timeslots: 


1st Tuesday of each month - 1PM - 4PM
2nd Friday of each month - 1PM - 4PM  OR 6PM - 12PM (Midnight Crop Edition)


If one of these dates don't work for you let me know and if there is enough interest we'll set something up.  Of course you could also collect a few friends and have a workshop all your own, and then you get all the hostess benefits!  


You may have noticed that these dates also coincide with my Stamper's Clubs and Scrapper's Clubs! I recognize that a club is not for everyone - SNS Cafe is the all of the fun, and none of the commitment.  Come once, or come often - as our guest.  The only difference is that guests are not eligible for hostess benefits. 


What is a Club? For a minimum of a 6 month commitment (35.00 each month) or a 10 month commitment ($20 each month) before tax and shipping, you get to build your stash of toys and tools as well as your completed cards and projects.  During one month of your commitment you get to receive all of the benefits of being a hostess.  (Minimum of $35 in products absolutely FREE based on incoming orders).  


My next home workshop is set for September 21st in my home in Cardinal, ON. What a great chance to sample some of the new toys and tools from the new catalog, check out my inspiration station and CREATE!  


Would you like to sign up for a class or club? Call me, or e-mail me :)
