A new month....a new Big Shot die!

July Movers & Shapers 1_wm This month Sarah & I have chosen one of the exclusive SU! dies called "Movers & Shapers Curly Label".  Not only is this a fun & versatile die, but there is an all new companion die in the new catalog!!  Be sure to check it out on p. 201!!

This card also features some of the new "In Colors" - Crushed Curry and Rich Razzleberry.  They are yummy together!

I tried to make this card as summery as possible.  I don't know where "summer" is - but it just hasn't seemed to arrive here yet.  We're well into July now, and have only had 3 or 4 really hot days so far.  What is that all about??  Where is global warming??  Oh well, I'll probably be complaining about the heat in a week or two - so you can just ignore what I just said!

On a personal note....this past weekend was so terrific.  Andy, Misty & the girls left Sunday morning and I already miss them!!  We had a great weekend to do a little bit of "tourism", then spent Saturday afternoon relaxing around the pool.  I am so sun-burned!  It wasn't hot (didn't I already say that??), and we had a nice breeze, so I wasn't paying enough attention to getting burned.  Yes, I had a really good sunscreen on - actually put it on TWICE - but still got a good burn on my chest.  That's OK, it was worth it to have the time to visit.

Anyway, I hope to get back on track this week with more regular posts.  It would be nice to hear from some of you out there!!  Comments have certainly been few & far between lately -is it something I said?!!  LOL!!

Have a great week & don't forget to stop by SARAH'S BLOG to see what she's been up to lately.  Be sure to get your "Movers & Shapers" die ordered from Sarah or me, and we will send all the directions & templates to you for all the projects we feature this month.

Happy Stampin'!!

Happy New Year! Party Hearty!!

Party Hearty 3_wm Oh my!  I can't believe it's July 1st already!  That starts a new year in the SU! world - and we celebrate with a new catalog this year.  Woo Hoo!!

There's so much going on this week, too.  I just realized last night that it was TASTE OF TUESDAYS and I didn't have a recipe posted!  Oh my - are you getting the picture??  I'm so far behind!!  So I apologize for that - and promise that next Tuesday I will be back on track.

In the meantime - this afternoon is my FIRST EVER $5 STAMP SALE!!  This is really exciting!  Not only do I hope to clean out some new space for new stamp sets - but I know all my peeps are going to LOVE having new stamps for only $5!!  It's a win/win!!  My friend, Kim, gave me this idea several months ago when she did the same thing.  I know she loves having her closet space back!!

Now...on to the card! SU Gift Certificate I love this card because it's more than just a b'day card, it's a SU! GIFT CERTIFICATE!!  And we know that everyone loves SU! Gift Certificates!!

This is something new that I'm starting this year....starting with my new STAMPERS 10 CLUB MEMBERS!  Yes, they ALL received a gift certificate from me for 10% off any order during their birthday month!!!  That's my way of saying THANK YOU to my Club Members.

Would you like a Gift Certificate, too?  It's easy!  EVERY ONE OF MY HOSTESSES THIS YEAR WILL GET THIS GIFT CERTIFICATE FROM ME!!!!  Give me a call or email & let's get your party started!!

I'm off & running.....haircut first, place my first order from the new catalog!! (which includes all the new IN COLOR CLUB items!!), then put the final touches on the sale this afternoon and the TREAT BAGS for the girls!!  Hope you have a good day ....and....

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

Big Shot Break

Fresh Cuts 1_wm Tomorrow is the last day of the Stampin' Up! year - and Sarah & I both have been covered up with last minute things to do.  So we decided to take a break from BIG SHOT MONDAY.  I promise we'll be back on target next week with a whole new Big Shot die!!

One of the things that each of us were working on was our Annual Hostess Appreciation event.  I wanted to show you one of the little party favors that I made for my girls.

This was made with the Big Shot die called "Movers & Shapers", and a new die that will be available on Wednesday that you can use with the original M&S die to cut out shapes.  I chose the heart because I "heart" my hostesses!!

This was really easy to do:

#1) Starting with a 3" X 12" piece of cardstock.  Simply layer it across the middle of the die & run through the Big Shot.  It will cut the correct length, cut the heart, and score it in the middle.

#2)  Then I scored again both ends 5" from the end.  That gave me this "W" fold:

Fresh Cuts 2_wm

#3)  Cut 1" off the front top length (side with the heart cut-out). 

#4)  Score the back length 1" from the end so you have a flap to fold over the front.

#5)  Layer 3" X 1 1/4" strip across front flap & punch with Scallop Border Punch

#6)  Attach bow with Mini Glue Dot

#7)  Stamp image & use Heart punch.  Add brad & attach with Dimensionals.

#8)  Close flap with Mini Glue Dot.

This is a nice & easy little treat bag - you could use cello bags and put anything inside!!

I hope you enjoyed my "mini tutorial" today.  It's going to be a busy & exciting week - starting with a trip to the DDS today to finish up what he started earlier in the month.  Lucky me, huh?!!

If you're in the local area - be sure to check out my $5 STAMP SET SALE!!!  No kidding - my closets are stuffed with retired stamp sets, and I have to learn to let go!!  I hope you'll stop by on Wednesday afternoon and take advantage of my insanity sale!!

Thanks for visiting me today - I hope to hear from you this week!!
