Creative Cards & Crops

Join the Club! – We’ve got Jackets!

My daughter used to say this whenever she thought her situation was worse than the one you might be talking about – I might say "I've got so much to get done today" and she would say (sarcastically of course!) "Join the Club! We've got Jackets!". I thought this was a clever and cute upgrade to the grudgingly used saying that others would use "Join the Club" (woes me). So today I want to encourage you by saying…
Join one of my Clubs! We've got… no, not jackets – but CARDS and SCRAPBOOK LAYOUTS!

I am so excited about my 2 clubs! I am starting a new year with both of these and would love for you to join us! I love sharing designs and ideas with my customers as well as sharing new techniques each month. My customers love it because they have a Stampin' Up! expert at their fingertips! They are able to ask questions at anytime and I am right there with the answer! No Stress Stamping!

If you have ever wanted to increase the time you spend scrapbooking or would like to have a "stash" of cards to send or give to someone – then these clubs are perfect for you! You will also get to slowly build up your Stampin' Up! resources so you can duplicate these ideas and more at home!

Think you would like this or would you just like some time for you – a girl's night out? (although gentlemen are certainly welcome!)

Click here to download a small PDF that has the detail for both clubs and registration information. Or you can email me and I will contact you with further details – Act Now! Deadline for joining next month is: August 8^th for Scrapbook Club and August 15^th for Card Club!

This is one of the cards we made this month in my card club.

Stamps: Thoughts and Prayers; Fresh Cuts

Ink: Crushed Curry, Soft Suede

Cardstock: Crushed Curry, Soft Suede, Very Vanilla

Accessories: Scalloped Oval punch, Small Oval punch

Mix it Up! with our New In Colors!

If you have spent any time with me you will know that I use the Stampin' Up! Color Coach extensively!  I am always surprised how good the colors look even when I didn't really think they would!  But the Color Coach doesn't help me with the new In Colors :( - These six trendy colors expand your color options and complement SU's exclusive color families too!  To help you solve this problem, SU has provided this great chart to help you mix and match In Colors with Bold Brights®, Earth Elements®, Rich Regals®, Soft Subtles®, and Neutrals, and find the perfect color combination every time!!  It's a great help!
