Jump Start Your New Year

HEADSTART TO A NEW YEAR CO-HOSTESS EVENT

Sale-A-Bration begins on January 5, 2010 and the Occasions Mini Catalog goes live the same day. Here is your opportunity to be a hostess and get FREE stuff, but not deal with the frustrations of having a workshop out of your home???? (cleaning, interruptions,...) I have the solution...I provide the space and you invite your family & friends

• When: Saturday, January 23, 2010
• Where: My House - 337 Pine Street, Millersburg
• 3 Sessions: 9:00 am to 11:30 am; 12:00 pm to 2:30 pm; 3:00 pm to 5:30 pm

Cost: FREE, You are the Co-Hostess and you get all of the Hostess Benefits for your guests Here are the details....

• You choose the session that fits you schedule.
• You invite your friends, family members, neighbors and co-workers to attend a stamping workshop. You will be a co-hostess for the event with several other people.
• You will earn hostess sets and hostess money based on the total sales of your guests.
• Your guests will participate in 3 make and takes all prepared by me.
• You email or mail me the list of guests you want to invite and I'll mail the invitations out for you!!
• Ideally, you want to have 6-8 adult guests attend.

You are welcome to get outside orders to bring with you that day to increase your workshop total. (*If you are not sure you can get a minimum of 6 guests to attend, please see the note below). There will be door prizes and chances to win FREE stamp sets!!!!!!!!!! Each co-hostess will bring one dessert plate (brownies, cookies...), two 2 lt. bottles of soda and a bag of m&m's (or another type of candy).

*Notes - Unsure if you can get a minimum of 6 adult guests to attend....

• Option A - Share a table with a friend. Each of you bring three guests and the two of you would share the hostess benefits.
• Option B - Want to come but not be a hostess???? Then you would join my table as my guest.

The first four who contact me to co-hostess a table will receive the following special gifts in addition to the hostess benefits you will receive:

• The first person to contact me will receive a package of Designer Series Paper ($9.95 value).

Samantha and Bradyn

Here is a scrapbook page of my handsome great nephew Bradyn and his beautiful mother Samantha. I used My Digital Studio® and the Christmas Jingle download. This paper is beautiful in real life too. I really love using this software. It is so easy to use. My great nephew was born on my birthay so he is a little extra special.

Don't you just love the hat? LOL He really is precious. I have a couple of non-Christmas pics showing him sticking out his tongue. Too cute since I taught his mother to do that too.

If you order My Digital Studio® (Item #118109 for $79.95) before January 4th, you will receive a FREE Décor Elements (up to a $16.95 value). See the Holiday Gift Giving Guide (PDF File) for a listing of all items included in this promotion. Have a great rest of the weekend. Connie

12 Days of Christmas Begins TODAY!!!!!

Beginning today, December 11 through December 22, 2009, you can take advantage of some incredible discounts on select Big Shot dies and assorted colors of Décor Elements Vinyl. Click HERE to be connected to my Online Store.

Anyone who has a Big Shot (Item # 113439 for only $99.95) will want a variety of dies and vinyl. Many of the dies can cut through a variety of materials including vinyl, chipboard, and felt. This makes a great gift for a seamstress who would like to sew custom appliquéd pieces on her projects, someone who wants to create their own vinyl phrases to personalize her home décor, or any paper crafter who uses letters. And when you purchase this item, you qualify for a FREE Décor Elements piece valued up to $16.95!

And as my gift to you: Everyone who places an online order over $50.00 placed by December 22nd will get a package of 1 yard each of the 1/2" In Color Polka-Dot Ribbon (more than a $4.60 value). Make sure you let me know when your order is placed and I'll get your ribbon in the mail ASAP!

If you don't have a Big Shot, you really should ask Santa to get you one. I have one and I love it! I know I'm going to take advantage of these specials for myself.

Merry Christmas,

Connie

Bermuda Bay Angel

Here is another version of the Angel from the Holy Triptych set. I ran a piece of Bermuda Bay through the Big Shot using the Florishes Texture Plate. Then I "antiqued" it by sponging Basic Black over it. I wanted to do something a little different than always using a shade of brown. I think it turned out very nice.

I hope you continue having a great day,

Connie

Holy Triptych Angel

I hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful day in Central Pennsylvania. I've been busy stamping away and I'm trying to use some of my scraps and came up with the project below.

First, I ran a piece of Thoroughly Modern Designer Series Paper (Item 115673) through my Big Shot (113439) using the Daisy Texture Plate from the Texture Plate Kit #4 (Item 114531). I used a Sanding Block (Item 103301) to sand the raised image. I stamped the Angel from the Holy Triptych set (Item 110370) on Whisper White (Item 100730) with Basic Brown Classic Ink (Item 104315). Then I colored the image using a variety of Stampin' Write Markers. I used the 1 3/4" Circle Punch (Item 112004) and adheared it to a leftover 2"circle from the Circles #2 Die (Item 114526) in Chocolate Chip (Item 102128).

I stamped the sentiment from the retired Star-Studded Season set in Basic Brown on a scrap piece of Kraft (Item 102125). I tied a 12" piece of Very Vanilla Taffeta Ribbon (Item 109071) around a scrap piece of Bermuda Bay (Item 115317) and completed the assembly.

I really love the colors in this DSP.

Have a great day!

Connie

Soft Suede Christmas

Hello. I hope you have been enjoying the Remarkable Holiday Blog Tour. Click here to begin at the beginning.

My entry today is my version of the card posted by Kimberly Van Diepen. My supplies are limited so this is how I did it. I also used a stencil made by running a piece of THICK window sheets (Item #114324) through the Big Shot using the Lattice Die (Item #115958). Using a Sponge Dauber (Item 102892) I sponged Soft Suede Classic Ink (Item 115657) on the Whisper White cardstock (Item 100730). I stamped the snowflake trio from the Christmas Punch Level 2 Hostess Set (115366) over the stenciled image. I stamped the "A Merry Little Christmas To You" on Whisper White cardstock and punched it out using the Wide Oval Punch (Item 112082). I roughed up the edges of both the stenciled layer and the layer cut out of Kraft cardstock (Item 102125) using my Paper Snips (Item 103579) and by wetting the edges with water. I tied it up using Very Vanilla Taffeta Ribbon (Item 109071). I mounted all on a base of Soft Suede with a sponged edged using Soft Suede Classic Ink.

I hope you all like my version of Kimberly's beautiful card.

Banner Change

I went back to my original banner until I can figure out the banner I made with My Design Studio. I attended our RemARKable Stampers team meeting today and it was it's usual inspiring event. We learned a lot of new things, received encouragment, and had tons of fun. I got to see some examples of cards, calendars, and albums printed by Stampin' Up!s printer. The quality of these items is incredible. I'm working on some samples using some techniques I learned today and I hope to show you soon. Be blessed, Connie

My New Banner

I thought I'd try my hand and creating a blog banner using Stampin' Up!s My Digital Studio. I sort of like it but the text is a bit blurry. I'll have to fuss with it later 'cause I'm have to get ready for a class I'll be doing today. I'll post pictures later. Let me know what you think. Have a SUPER day, Connie

Holiday Blog Tour - Day Four

Holiday Blog Tour - Day Four Well, today is the last day of the RemARKable Stampers Holiday Blog Tour. I hope you had a wonderful time and have lots of ideas. What I chose to show you is a color combo that I saw somewhere and I really fell in love with it. Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive, and Very Vanilla. I ran the Very Vanilla card stock through the Sizzix Big Shot using the Petals-A-Plenty Textured Impressions Folder from the Holiday Mini. I stamped the Merry Christmas stamp from the Holiday Best Level One Hostess set in Rich Razzleberry. I overstamped it with Versamark and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. I added Rich Razzleberry Polka Dot Ribbon. I trimmed all the corners with the 3/16" Corner Rounder. I hope you enjoy it. Next on the tour is Jackie Bottomley. Have fun. Thanks to everyone for their comments on my cards. I got a smile every time I received one. Be blessed, Connie

Holiday Blog Tour - Day Three

Holiday Blog Tour - Day Three Isn't this fun? Today I want to show you another card using the Snow Swirled stamp set. I really love the versatility of this set. This time, I stamped the snow flakes in Whisper White Craft Ink and while still wet, I dusted it with Dazzling Diamonds. I used Kraft card stock for the card base. I edged a strip of Whisper White with our Scalloped Edge Punch and layered it with another strip of Kraft card stock. I love the simplicity.

Now on to the next stop. I wonder what Jackie Bottomley has to show you, Until tomorrow, Blessings to you, Connie

Holiday Blog Tour - Day Two

Get ready for day 2 of the RemARKable Stampers Holiday Blog Tour. I hope you are getting lots of ideas My sample today uses Whisper White, Real Red, and Old Olive. I stamped the snowmen from the More The Merrier Hostess set in Basic Black and I colored the snowmen using Real Red, Summer Sun, Bashful Blue, and Only Orange Stampin' Write Markers. I stamped the Merry Christmas from Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set and then tied it all up in a neat bow of 1/4" Real Red Grosgrain Ribbon.

Next, go see what Jackie Bottomley has to show you. Blessings to you, Connie

Holiday Blog Tour - Day One

I hope you are enjoying all the beautiful examples of this tour by RemARKable Stampers. For my example I stamped the tree and sentiment from the Snow Swirled set in Basic Black Classic Ink on Whisper White cardstock. I matted it with Basic Black and Melon Mambo (one of the new In Colors). I also used Melon Mambo Polka Dot Grosgrain Ribbon and 1/4" Basic Black Grosgrain Ribbon. I added some sparkle with Dazzling Diamonds glitter and the 2 Way Glue Pen.

Please visit Jackie Bottomley at her blog to see what she has for you to see. Let me know if you have any trouble with this link. Happy stamping Connie

Coming October 1 - My Digital Studio

Here is my first example of a card using My Digital Studio. It really is a lot of fun to use. There are options for multiple sizes of Scrapbook pages, Greeting Cards, and Calendars.

I have to go but I wanted to get this on my blog. Watch for more examples, this is way too exciting to miss.

Let me know if you would like to know more.

Happy Stampin'

I am EXHAUSTED!

Why you ask? I just got home from a 3 day, 2 night, stampin' extravaganza with about 100 other like minded women. Oh My Goodness, it was superb but tiring. I was truly overwhelmed at the sight of all those tables, inks, glitter, embossing powder, Big Shot dies, rubber stamps, paper, and of course CHOCOLATE! This was a Safari and Jungle themed event. Elephants, giraffes, monkeys, alligators, tigers, lions, etc. We learned a lot of new techniques and twists on some existing techniques. I will be posting some pictures soon. I need to rest now....

PMS Night June 26th from 6:00 pm to 10:00 pm

It's Almost Here!

The 2009/2010 Idea Book & Catalog will go live on July 1, 2009. It will be good for 1 FULL year! Until then, there are a few things you need to see, the Last Chance lists! Click here for the Last Chance Accessories list. The items on the Last Chance Accessories list are available only as supplies last. If there is something you really want, get it now 'cause I don't know how long any of these items are going to last. Check the list often. I will try and update it but check www.conniedeibler.stampinup.net to make sure. Click here for the Last Chance Stamp list. Click here for the Last Chance Decor Elements.

I Wonder What This Means?

We received information from Stampin' Up! that beginning June 1st, the "Last Chance" list comes out. This is formaly known as the Retired list. In addition, we were told that these products would be discounted up to 50% but only while supplies last! Isn't that great? I can't wait to see what is included on the list, especially for 50% off! One more thing. I’ve been a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator for over a year now. I signed up primarily to get the discount and some of the other perks (sneak peaks, advance ordering, special discounts, and so much more). I recently decided to pursue this as a business. I love crafting and I love teaching others the joy of “making it yourself” so this seemed a logical choice. I’m hoping you can help me. My goal for June is to have at least $1,000.00 in sales. I hope to have a minimum of 7 workshops scheduled for June. I need 7 people to call me and schedule an in home workshop or a catalog show. If that is still not an option, you may go to my website, http://www.conniedeibler.stampinup.net/ and place an order or send me an email with your order. ** Note: any order totaling $150.00 (before sales tax, shipping and handling) is a qualifying workshop and entitles the hostess to a level one hostess set and $15.00 worth of Stampin’ Up! products. It doesn’t matter if one person orders or there are multiple people ordering. Please forward this email to everyone you think would be even slightly interested, especially those who say “I’m not creative.” I would love the opportunity to show them (or you) how creative they really are! If someone on your list orders or books a workshop or signs up for my newsletter, there’s a free gift in it for you. Just have them mention your name when contacting me. I can schedule workshops on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and most Saturdays. Check my calendar on my website: http://www.conniedeibler.stampinup.net/ for the best date and time for you. And now for the really GOOD News! Here is great news about the latest Hostess promotion beginning June 1st and ending June 30th. See details below. There are even more specials coming in June that I don’t have complete details on but will let you know as soon as I know! Summer Fun Hostess Bonus Promotion Dates: June 1-30, 2009 Promotion Details: The Summer Fun Hostess Bonus Promotion has two parts: Hostesses who hold a $250-$399.99 workshop will receive an additional $20 in hostess free merchandise dollars.
