I don't want to exclude anyone from being able to join in on this fun class.  So, if you are out of my area and would like to participate in the class, you are more than welcome to join in.  You will choose your card and for an additional $10, I will mail you all the materials to make your cards, including ribbons, punched and textured pieces, etc.  You will get the stamp set, but will have to provide your own ink and saying.  For some cards, it is also recommended (but not required) that you have a coordinating punch and/or framelits to make things easier.

If you would like to make an extra set of 20 of the same cards, the fee is $30.  If you already have the set for the card you are choosing, please let me know and I will adjust the price of the class accordingly.  You will need to bring your set (and clear blocks, if needed) to the class with you.

FREE SHIPPING & Retired List is Available

Well today is a big day!  Stampin' Up! has released the annual retired list and there are quite a few items on there which I was not expecting!  Several of my favorite stamp sets are on the list.  The biggest surprises are on the Accessory list, you will find lots of Big Shot items, including some great folders, my favorite punches - Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack, all wheels, DSP, Silver Glimmer Paper, lots of ribbon, including the In-Color ruffled ribbon and so much more.  Click on RETIRED LISTS to see the lists. 

At my last class, we made these really cute roses using the new Sprial Flower die and the Core'dinations card stock, sanding the edges to make it look more real.  I am disappointed to say they are retiring all of this card stock and the sanding block.

This year, all items on the retired list (even stamps) are on a while supplies last basis.  Once they are out, the item will be gone and not available for me to order.

 

There is some good news - today through Friday you can get FREE SHIPPING on all orders, no matter the size!  You will definitely want to take advantage of this and order your retiring items today! 

For all orders $50-$149.99, use the Hostess Code below and get in on the Monthly On-Line Sampler Club to get your special gift.  Click on the box to the right for more details on the Club.

Thinlits Card Dies

 

Are you ready for a fun new easy way to create some fabulous cards?  I know I am. Announcing the new Thinlits for the Big Shot.  These thinlits do all the work for you.  All you have to do is cut, fold and add stamps, paper and accessories.  No measuring is needed.  

Be sure and sign up for my Open House, because we will be making a card using this great new product. 

They've been called flip cards, flip flop cards, swing cards, and more-but they have always been a bit tricky to create. Not anymore! Our amazing new Thinlits Card Dies cut and score to create a card that flips in just one step.

Available August 1, 2013

 These new card dies come with extra die pieces that have versatile designs, so you can use them on other projects, not just flip cards. (The Circle Card Thinlits Die comes with 10 total pieces; the Label Card Thinlits Die comes with 9 total pieces.)

With the number of dies you're getting, plus the die that creates the card itself, the price is a great value-especially to create an interactive card! Click on the flyer below to see all the pieces that come with each thinlit set.
