Sharing My New Catalogue Launch Open House Photos & Door Prize Winners!

I missed seeing some of you yesterday, so I decided to share my photos of yesterday's event. Sadly, once everyone started arriving, I forgot to take photos of everyone there! But I can share with you my set up & displays. I took my photos in a clockwise direction starting from the entrance to my suite.

Class Sign Up Station 1 (3 classes)

Class Sign Up Station 2 (2 more classes)

Hostess Station displaying two of the many Hostess Stamp Sets available, and the cards I created with them.

Next came the display of of a few of the new products and new In-Colours found in the new catalogue.

And, everyone's favorite spot, the New Catalogue with treats inside, and the door prize sign up station!

Then came the new cardboard display stand filled with cards I've created (and for sale). I should have taken a photo after I refilled it...

Then into the next room came the retired Stampin' Up! items that I had for sale. Some of them have never been used.

And of course, next, there are the free items to grab. Retired catalogues are great to keep for inspiration or to cut out images to create your own book of favorites.

I always have a few larger creations up for sale too that include albums to add your photos to, and boxes with card sets, etc.

I also had a section of items that carried over into the new catalogue and a few cards made with them, for some inspiration.

I made for each guest a little 3 x 3 envelope from the new "Affectionately yours" Specialty DSP that included a little thank you banner using the new "Thoughtful Banners" bundle with a individual packet of herbal tea. This is so that everyone could go home, make a nice cup of tea, and slowly browse through the new catalogue to make out their wish list!

I did get one photo of a friend that was first to arrive. Once the others arrived, the thought of photos completely left my mind.

Thank you everyone for coming! I will have another New Catalogue Launch event at the Scrapbook Parade Langford Legion Market on Wednesday, June 15, from 5:30 to 8:30pm. If you couldn't make it yesterday, hope to see you there!

Now, on to the door prize WINNERS!

3rd Prize - Joyce Anderson
2nd Prize -Edna Lamarche
1st Prize - Anna Wright

Let me know if you'd like to drop by to pick them or drop by the Legion Market on the 15th to pick them up.

Everyone that placed an order can look forward to some fun in the next week or so when your package arrives.

Happy stamping!

First Sight Mothers Day for a Friend 3

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY LADIES!

HOPE THAT YOU ALL HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY! Despite it's challenges, being a Mom is wonderful! Whether you have children, or not, you are a mother when you teach, nurture, help and serve others. It's all under motherhood.....

I wish the photos would better show all the gold embossing on this card. But I've certainly had a lot of fun making these last three cards with the "First Sight" stamp set. I did make a mistake on this card, however. I had wanted to use the words within this stamp set to read "I Love Mother Forever". I just forgot when I was applying the Versamark to the stamps.

On the bottom layer of white I scored from behind to make a frame at 1/4" all the way around. The I punched the four little hearts using the "Itty Bitty" punch set, and scored another line over the hearts to create a frame around them.

For the sentiment piece, after heat embossing the gold sentiment, I again scored a frame from behind at 1/8" & 1/4". It looks great!

In the next photo you can see how I popped up the layers.

In the corners I gold heat embossed and had in mind to stamp over with the Rose Red. I kinda messed up the inside a bit. I meant to off stamp the Rose Red first, and forgot. Then I went and accidentally smudged the ink before it dried!

Thank you for having a look at the Mothers Day cards of the last three days.

Card Base - Rose Red - 4 1/4 x 11 (5 1/2)
Whisper White - 3 1/2 x 4 3/4
Rose Red - 3 x 3 1/4
Whisper White - 2 7/8 x 3 1/8
Inside Whisper White - 3 3/4 x 5

Be sure to stop by tomorrow, for a posting of one of my classes for the JUNE Scrapbook Parade Crop classes. I only have one to show for now, because I'm waiting to for my order of the new catalogue product to arrive when I get back from the wedding. I will make something new from them and then post the rest of the classes.


Happy Stamping everyone!

First Sight Mothers Day for a Friend 2

This is the second of the Mothers Day cards I made for for some of my friends using the "First Sight" stamp set. Again, I had to play with the sentiments and a Stampin' Write Marker, this time in Rose Red, to come up with a Mothers Day sentiment that wasn't directly to a 'Mom'.

I worked with Wild Wasbai, Rose Red, & Crumb Cake cardstock for this card. I also added the use of the "Gorgeous Grunge" stamp set while off stamping twice before stamping on the card.

Two popped up layers for this card - the Rose Red matted Crumb Cake piece, and the Rose Red heart.

For the inside, I'm kind of wishing that I had not used the white and left it with the Crumb Cake.

The colour combination is not one that I would automatically go to automatically, it was one that I came up with with a little thought while looking at my stamp pads in front of me. I kind of like it, and think I will keep the the combo on my list to try again.

Wild Wasabi - 4 1/4 x 11 (5 1/2 folded)
Rose Red - 2 @ 5 x 3 3/4 (1 inside & 1 outside)
Crumb Cake - 1 @ 4 3/4 x 3 1/2 (outside), 1 @ 4 7/8 x 3 5/8 (inside)
Opptional: Whisper White - 4 3/4 x 3 1/2 (inside)
