Many Messages for Quick and Pretty Cards, Sale-A-Bration, Host Code WERWADZ4

 


Sale-A-Bration is on for January and February!  If you don’t have a catalog yet, let me know and check your email for links to PDFs of the catalogs.  You can see it online by clicking the link to the right too.  These cards use the Flower & Field designer series paper that you can get for FREE with a $50 purchase from the January-June mini catalog, or the annual catalog. The video shows the Many Messages bundle which uses one stamp and one die to create 19 labels with cute little sentiments.  I think it is super handy.  The Many Messages bundle is $50.25 and that gives you the option to get the pack of paper free!  

I have cut the paper for these cards as follow:  Base cardstock is 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4

First layer cardstock is 4 x 5 1/4  DSP layer is 3 3/4 x 5.  I used the tailored tag punch or the Many Messages bundle for the greetings.  

Hostess code is WERWADZ4 for January.  Please use it if your order is under $150.  If it is over that amount, you keep the Stampin rewards.

Sneak Peek and new Techniques



Happy New Year!!!   Hello Stampers!  I was dabbling in Pinterest the other day - of course that’s more like a really big rabbit hole than a dabble.  I came across this really neat card done by Messy Creations and I thought it was really good use of the Corner Bouquet stamp set in the Sale A Bration Brochure.  So I made a stencil/mask to use to come up with a similar card.  I’ll show you how I did that.  

The other card uses Stampin markers, the water based markers to bring color to the flowers in the stamps. Both are beautiful cards and I’ll show you how to make them in the video.  The techniques are great to use for many cards, so even if you don’t have this stamp set, watch the video for some neat ideas.  

 


Host code XFFW2Z2B is in effect until January 15th.   If you need a catalog, let me know and I’ll get one right out to you.  Email me at nettep2020@gmail.com 
Here’s the video.


If you like the cards that I made here, let me know.  I’ll pick a name from the comments I get and that person will get the cards.

Last Minute Really Pretty Cards

 Happy couple days before Christmas!


Are you finding some last minute needs for cards?  Looking for something really quick to make?  I have TWO solutions.  First, there is a very impressive “origami” style Christmas tree card.  I can’t take the credit for this one, many other demonstrators also have this on their blogs and my friend Debbie made some and showed them to me and I just had to make some.  They really are fun and so nice, I just had to pass it on.

Next is a card that shows BOTH side of your pretty designer series paper.  It is also so quick and easy you could make a bunch very quickly.  This one is a great layout to use any time you have pretty paper you want to use.  

The Host code for December and into January is XFFW2Z2B.  Use it only if your order is less than $150. If your order is over that, you get the rewards.  


Merry Christmas to all and have a Happy and Healthy 2021.

Use those scraps. Quick Christmas card video showing a layout for scrap designer paper.

 Hello Stampers!

Here is a quick layout to use up some of that pretty designer paper.  I have found that if I cut it to card size (4 x 5 1/4 for the first layer).  I tend to  use it quicker.  Otherwise if I leave it in the 12 x 12 packet, I hoard it.  I have an awful big supply building.  Cutting it up to use it up...

Do you find yourself hoarding that beautiful paper you love?

So I’m hoping this will help ease the pain of missing the workshops.

HELP! Name the Machine!



Name The Machine - Donna?  David?

 Hello Stampers!  Last week I showed you the new Stampin Cut and Emboss Machine.  I showed you how very nice and smooth this machine cuts.  This week, I’m going to use the Stampin Cut and Emboss Machine to emboss.  I also got a magnetic plate that we are going to try out to see how well that works.  But, before I get going with that, I decided that constantly saying Stampin Cut and Emboss Machine  is just too much of a mouthful all the time - so I want to name the machine.

That’s right.  Let’s give it a name.  Something that’s easy to say when I’m doing a demo would be great.  Phoebe, Fred, Dino, get creative!  The person who submits the winning name also win a prize!  So,  come on, give me some ideas.  Use your imagination.  Don’t even know it it’s a boy, girl, or neutral.  You decide.  Add your ideas to the comments here, or e mail me at nettep2020@gmail.com.  Enter as often as you wish but send your ideas to me by September 25 th.  You will go down in history as the person who named my Stampin Cut and Emboss Machine.  So you get naming rights, bragging rights, and a PRIZE!  


The Host Code for September is  F3SBXKZT   Please use this code when checking out if your order is less than $150.  This allows me to get credits for free stuff that I use in giveaways/drawings.  If your order is more than $150, don’t use the code, you get the rewards.

It’s Here!! Die cutter/embossing machine is now available. Pampered Pets will show you how it works.



 
Aren’t these SWEET?  They are made with the Little Treat Box Dies and Pampered Pets Designer Series Paper.  A little woven red ribbon and Pampered Pet trinkets completes the treat box.
The video below shows you how and demonstrates the new Die cutting and embossing machine in action.




I’ll be sure to show some more treat boxes.  These would be adorable for Halloween treats and for little office gifts - a small bottle of hand sanitizer just fits perfectly, as does small chocolates.

Pretty Peonies Shading and new happenings

 Hello to All!  So glad you could join me today.  Did you see the new Holiday Mini Catalog?  If you didn’t get one - be sure to let me know.  If you received a $5 coupon, remember to use it before the end of August.

The host code for August is VC6ZGBNF

PRIZE!!   Don’t forget to FOLLOW WITH EMAIL - look over to your right and put your email address into the box - I’ll enter your name for a prize each month!  And please share this website with everyone you know who is crafty, even if they only knit, you never know, they might like it.

On to the Peonies - Today’s video features the beautiful Peonies suite.  Even if you don’t have the stamps and dies in this suite, be sure to watch the video for some tips on shading your dies cuts to make them “pop” from the page.  I also talked a little about layout.  When you find a layout that you like, you can use that same layout for many many cards.  

For example, in the card below, I use my standard card size 8 1/2 X 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4.  Then I use a layer of DSP cut to 5 1/4 X 4.  I take a contrasting piece of DSP or cardstock cut to 2 x 4 1/4 and finish the bottom.  Then I place either a die cut piece or a larger banner at the top and either a ribbon or a sentiment below it and it is always the same layout but never looks like the same card.

As you build your stamping experiences, you add to your standard layouts and that gives you the starting inspiration.


Hope this give you some inspiration.  If you have questions or need a catalog, email me at Nettep2020@gmail.com. 

If you want to place an order, click the link to you right or go to nettep.stampinup.net. Please make sure my name comes up as your demonstrator.  I do appreciate your business.  
The host code for August is VC6ZGBNF. Use this only if your order is under $150, if it is over that amount, you get the rewards.

Thanks for watching!  Happy Stamping!!!!!

Watercolor Pencils are awesome!

Hello Stamping Friends!

Hope you are surviving the heat.  One of my favorite items in the coloring tools are the watercolor pencils.  They can really stretch your colors when you are limited in ink.
Stampin Up! Has two sets each with different colors and they pretty much cover all the basics.  You really need a set of Blender Pens with the pencils.  They come three in a pack for $12 and are really magic!  I’m going to show you how to use them in the attached video.  I used the Zany Zebras stamp set for a super simple card to show you the technique.  This set is shown in the Beginners Brochure.  Contact me for a copy.




The Hostess Code for July is BHDJNSW7
Don’t forget.  Spend $50 in July in the catalog and get a $5 coupon to use in August.

Happy Stamping

Boho Indigo to Cool Off

Wow!  What a heat wave!  Great to be either in the pool - or of course, in the air conditioning making cards.

I have a really beautiful product to share with you today.  The Boho Indigo medley of products is a complete set with everything you need to make dozens of cards and it is fabulous.  I love the color blue and this gives so many beautiful blue prints it is well...fabulous.

The video shows you all you get with the medley and shows why this really is a great deal.

Don’t forget, this weekend is my BOGO sale.  I changed how I’m doing it just a little.  You can do it as I originally explained, pick what you want from my discounted stamp sets and you get dollar for dollar credit toward an item in the catalog.  Or you can order from the catalog and get dollar for dollar credit toward the discounted stamp sets.  Either way you are getting free stuff!

Also, every $50 order from the catalog on line in July gets you a $5 coupon to use in August.  And the Holiday catalog is available for orders beginning August 4th.

Lots going on.  So here is one of the cards from the Boho Indigo product medley.


Here is the video.

Hope to see you Friday or Saturday at the BOGO sale.

The Hostess Code for July is BHDJNSW7

Happy Stamping
