Continuing the Carousel Ride

Hey Guys, I’m continuing the Carousel Ride today because I had two more ideas using it! Because I broke my neck Horseback riding, Carousel Horses are the only ones I ride anymore! Before you see these cards below, keep in mind that I have changed them up on my Live Video today! If you missed it, click here. For some reason, I have a problem doing the SAME card twice! Of course, I hope you love both sets!

Who Doesn’t love a Carousel!?

Despite making some mistakes in my video, my hope is that you will learn from my mistakes and try making this!

Are you ready for Christmas? Early Bird Special!

What? Christmas already?! Well, I’m not quite ready for Christmas but I can help you make your Christmas cards AND have fun visiting, crafting and meeting new Friends! Every year I have Christmas card classes and it’s all day where we listen to Christmas music, craft, eat, laugh and generally have a ton of fun! I also suggest if you can’t make it live, you can get the fixin’s (I’ve lived in the South too long!) for the cards sent to you at your door! Another way you can be ready for Christmas is to buy the PDF’s all by themselves. Of course, If you are interested click here to see how! I have an Early Bird price so don’t wait, it expires September 1st. However, If you have seen the cards I have made, you know that these will WOW your family and friends!

Hey Guys, It’s a Plane, no it’s a Train, NO it’s a Slider card with a Flying Bunny!! I have seen all over Pinterest and the Web these types of cards.

Don’t Forget!

If by chance you purchased product over $50 last month, now is your chance to spend your $5 coupon! After all, who doesn’t love a coupon!?

Happy Anniversary to me!!

Being that I joined SU! 20 years ago, I wanted to Celebrate!! If you are reading this, and you purchase $50 from me in the next month, (Aug-10 to Sept-10) I will send you a gift! PLUS because you spent that amount you will also get the PDF of 16 projects! Now, that is quite the deal!!

Why would I do a ‘job’ for 20 years?

Basically, I have never done anything for 20 years other than my marriage and being a mom! So, why do I stay? Besides being able to stamp every day, I also have met the most wonderful people! Either those whom I’ve met at the SU! functions (going to Vegas in 10 days!!), or those I’ve met in my classes, YOU are all important to me. You make me laugh, cry, get excited and YOU make me feel like I am so talented! Ha! Basically I wish my sister could find the 1st card I ever made…it was so bad I cringe thinking I still sent it out! As far as learning along the way, I do feel like I’ve got this artistic eye I never thought I had! Thank you for sticking with me this long!!

Christmas card class coming in October!

But you will want to pay attention to the details, click here for more info! If you purchase the class before September 1st you get a DISCOUNT! Of course I have purchased a lot of NEW product from the upcoming Mini, and after 15 years I have decided to up the cost of the class. For those who want to come, the cost is $45 if you purchase before the 1st of September, otherwise it will be $50. The reason for the price increase is you will get 16 cards, plus a day of fun, a pdf and FULLY cut/prepared card packets! Plus, I haven’t raised my prices, and have been losing money. Of course I love this class so much, I wasn’t in it for the Money, BUT I can’t afford to give it away. Let me tell you, the cards are WOW’s but not too hard!

Anyone can come to the class and participate, but be ready to laugh, eat, visit and make new friends! Following this class you will go home with gorgeous cards that will definitely set the bar high, and you will have so much fun you will want to do it again next year!

Thanks

Lastly, I would like to thank you for coming here and visiting me! I know you are busy as am I, the fact that you take time out to visit means so much to me! Thank you so much for supporting me and my small business!

Want a discount EVERY time you place a SU! order?

Surely you have heard that when you join the SU! family you get a discount on all the product! But, did you know that you DON’T have to sell anything? Of course, SU! product sells itself, but all you would have to do is share/stamp with your friends. Certainly you CAN sell, but if it makes you uncomfortable, just have friends over and have a crafting day! Basically that is what I did for the first 5 years of my 0ver 20 years being with SU!

Because I don’t like to feel pushy I would have my friends come over to stamp and the product is so good that they wanted it too! Eventually you may want to do more, but you never have to! I have people in my team who have NEVER had a ‘party’! If this is something you would like, join the Tedder Bears by clicking this link!

Overall, I want you to consider the BEST club you could join!

But, that’s not all, you get the card packets with everything pre-cut for 6 cards! Moreover, the Holiday Mini is coming out and we will be using some of those bundles! The cost is $40 for in person, and $48 for delivery to your door! Every card is beautiful and some have techniques or fancy folds! If you would like to read more about it, click here!

Let’s Go Shopping – info

As you can see, these were really fun to make! Of course book stores are my favorite. Every night I read for at LEAST 2 hours. Because I love to read, book stores make me calm and happy. However, since I got Carpal Tunnel I am not able to buy actual books anymore. Therefore I get all my books on Kindle. I prop my book up and just have to turn pages! Luckily I am able to get most of my books from the library. So easy to download! For the first card I love the look of the Granny Apple Green behind the store, it really makes the store pop, don’t you think?! As for the 2nd card, I love that it isn’t a full card like you would normally see. This fold really adds to this fun card!

FOUR days left to get a Bonus!

Stampin’ Up! is having Bonus Days right now! Only for July, so you have 4 days left to be able to get a discount next month! Basically you get a bonus for every $50 you spend. Following your order you will receive an email with your bonus coupon, Do NOT lose this! When placing an order next month, put in your coupon # and you will get $5 off for each number you put in! When placing your order through me, click on this link to go to the store! Not only will you get a Bonus Days coupon you will also get an Exclusive PDF for those who order $35 or more! Because there are 16 projects in this PDF you will LOVE IT!!

It wasn’t until I met Stampin’ Up! that I discovered that I am artistic! My goal for you is to share how easy stamping is and hopefully you can also learn it’s not as hard as either of us had thought!

I’m off to see my grandkids!

As I told you before a couple of weeks ago I went to CA to visit my family. My daughter let us bring back my grandson without his parents, and it went so great!! Now, I am going to DC to meet up with my other daughter and my other two grandkids! Don’t you love Summer!? Overall, I am excited that I got to see ALL my kids AND grandkids!

My hope is that you love this post and that you will share it and my video with your friends, but mostly I would love for you to try your hand at making a Light up card the easy way!

Three very different WOW cards!

Using Sweet & Precious stamp set

Hey Guys, today I am offering Three very different WOW cards!! If you missed it, click here to see it! For those who have been at a class with me, you might know the Sloth story. Let me tell those of you who haven’t been live with me….Both my sisters with their spouses and Howie and I played a game called The Newlywed Game years ago. All of us had been married a while and thought this would be fun. A question came up “What animal would your Mother in Law be?” The guys had to answer, and my sisters and I thought this should be interesting! My oldest sisters’ hubby answered an Owl, since she is so smart. The youngest sisters’ hubby answered A Pug (what!??), so it was Howie’s turn. Indeed, my husband answered a Sloth, because she is so slow. Yikes!!

I got my sense of Humor from my Mom

Now my mom had survived lung cancer and had half a lung removed. So her health wasn’t the best. Every time the family would meet up in CA all the ladies would go to a Tea Room. We’re sitting at the table and I thought I would tell my mom all about the answers her Son-in-Laws said. Immediately she comes up with a plan, to get revenge.

When we got back to the house where everyone was, she would exclaim that she wasn’t feeling well and lay down on the couch. So, of course we didn’t know the rest of her plan but we went with it. Once she sighs and lays down on the couch all the guys come into the room to be sure she is ok. She says “I’m feeling very…….’slothlike'”. My husband Howie’s face goes white, and he is in shock with his mouth wide open. Then of course he him haws around and says it’s because you are so smart that I said that! Sloths are slow, and they have to be smart to survive! 🙂 Ever since that time my family has loved Sloths! Why she picked on the Sloth and not the Pug, tells me she knew Howie would get a kick out of it!

Three very different WOW cards! A fancy fold

Three very different WOW cards! This is the Fancy Fold

Now for the Technique

As seen above I shared the Fancy fold first, even though it’s not first on my video. Of course, I HAD to share the story of why Sloth’s are special to me. Three very different WOW cards! I’ve shown you the Fancy fold, now here is the technique! Basically I am a sucker for techniques and this is one of my favorites! Since I have never seen the Northern Lights, I have to make a card with one!

Three very different WOW cards!  This is the technique

As can be seen on the inside, below….I used ANOTHER technique to make a bookmark! Stampin’ Up! has a new Tool for our Take your Pick tool, and it’s a rotary perforated tool that lets me make a bookmark that can be torn out by the recipient!! Cool, right?!!

In this case, if you look closely you can see where the bookmark will tear off! Obviously you will want to send this to someone who enjoys reading!!

Three very different WOW cards!

So, now we are on to the Cute one!! I love Giraffe, they are my favorite wild animal and I have a few Giraffe items around my house. Chiefly, I have always loved them, but I visited my Daughter in MN and got to hand feed one! Of course that would sell anyone on why these animals are so special!

Three very different WOW cards! This is the CUTE card!

Want a surprise next month?

As always SU! is always surprising us with great deals!! Indeed they are having Bonus Days in the month of July! What does this mean? Overall, it means for every $50 you spend you will get a coupon for $5 (redeemable in August), which means that NEXT month you will get a discount! Of course this goes along with MY special, so in fact you get TWO specials for the one purchase!! Every month I offer a NEW PDF for those who purchase from my OnLine Store, this PDF has 16 projects with step by step tutorials along with great pic’s! This is especially a good deal! Surely you know that I would love to be YOUR SU! Demo!! It would definitely make my day! 🙂

Finally

For the most part I want to thank you for taking time out and visiting me! I hope you like the cards I showed, of course you will be getting the free PDF of all the cards I show on my videos if you are signed up for my Newsletter! Sign up and you TOO will be getting all my free PDF’s!! Thank you so much for visiting, I would love for you to join me for a Live sometime so I can really talk with you!
