And, you can place your order directly through my Stampin' Up! business web site. The link is on the right side of my blog, added under Stampin' Up! This on-line ordering service isn't ready yet, but will be soon. And, of course, you can always contact me for your orders!

You can already link the new Stampin' Up! catalog through my business web site, as well as my calendar & creative gallery.

Today's card is in my Stampin' Up! business web site creative gallery, and was designed with the Level 3 stamp set, Window Dressing. So, if cats aren't your thing (like yesterday's card) ...there are many other images available in this set. It is so versatile with 10 stamps including a window!

I used the Classy Brass Template, Punches Plus. The card was dry embossed with the dots, & window dry embossed & paper pierced with the template. Image was stamped with Stazon, & colored with Stampin' Write markers. Ribbon is Brocade Blue Wide Grosgrain.

This is my 1st card using the Classy Brass Templates, & I love the dry embossing effect on the card. All supplies Stampin' Up. Thanks for looking!

Cat in the Window Dressing

Well, anyone that knows me well, knows that this image is very comon when you come to our home.

Isn't this the cutest ...the great little window with a wide array of images to place in there including the most darling little girl face, flower vases, snowmen, and even a Halloween pumpkin.



The stamp set is a Level 3 Hostess set from the new catalog called Window Dressing. I will have a lot of fun with this one. The sentiment is from the new set, Heard from the Heart. Love that font!Cardstock is new In color, Baja Breeze. Wallpaper is the Tart & Tangy designer paper. I cut out the windows, & layered paper behind. Kitty is colored on Whisper White cardstock with So Saffron & Chocolate Chip markers, cut out, & adhered with Stampin' Dimensionals, shutters colored with Bordering Blue Stampin' Write marker, stamped on Whisper White, & cut out & adhered to front of the card. Sentiment stamped with Chocolate Chip, & added Chocolate Chip Grosgrain ribbon. All supplies Stampin' Up!


Hope you enjoyed today's card...have a great day!

The New Catalog Begins Today!!!

Yippee!!! Today the new Stampin Up! Fall-Winter Idea Book & Catalog begins!

I remember several years ago, I was at one of my niece & nephew's home. It was the day before Easter, and they had a 4 year old daughter that was so excited about the upcoming holiday. My niece's grandparents stopped by to bring their great granddaughter an Easter basket. All the little girl could say was "oh boy, oh boy, oh boy"!

That expression is so great..."oh boy, oh boy, oh boy". That is just what was going through my mind when the UPS man delivered the new Stampin' Up! catalogs.

I can't even tell you how excited I am about all the new stamp sets, ribbons, punches, designer paper, and so much more!!! You gotta get your hands on one of these new catalogs. Contact me for your copy!

Also, beginning today new promotions, including three great new Demo Kit offers for $99. Contact me, or visit stampinup.com for more info!

For today's card I used the Fall Flair Level 2 Hostess Set. The leaves are stamped with the new In Color, Kiwi Kiss & Basic Black. Sentiment is from All Holidays, & I inked the stamp with Old Olive & Only Orange markers. ribbon is Pumpkin Pie. Cardstock is Kiwi Kiss, Whisper White, & Basic Black. All supplies Stampin' Up!

Have a great Monday...thanks for looking!

Just Monkeying Around!

Here he is!!! That little Sock Monkey stamp set has arrived.

Well, I must admit that when I first heard that we had a Sock Monkey, I just didn't know about that one. But I ordered it in my demonstrator pre-order, and I really like him! And, then when the new catalog arrived, I was so excited to see that there is a stamp set with great accessories for this little guy. There is even a santa hat! How fun is that?

This card, or a similar one, may be part of the upcoming Stamp Camp on September 13th. (details coming soon, or give me a call) What do you think? Comments, please!!!

All supplies, Stampin' Up!

Have a great day!!!
