Each one should use whatever gift he has
received to serve others, faithfully
administering God's grace in its various forms.

Sample Club Projects

I've had quite a few questions about what kind of projects we will be making in the upcoming clubs that start....in just a few days -- ah! So since I don't have the samples made myself I'll share with you the ideas I'm case-ing and hopefully give credit to all the right people for their awesome ideas.
 
For the Punch Art club, we make 2 projects each week. January's projects will look something like this:

 A cute little Valentine -- to spur your creative juices before the month-of :) And a fun little cow that will be a topper for a cello-bag with a fun straw or you could even put it on the side of a milk carton -- the possibilities are really endless!
 
For Scrapbook club, the layouts will be copied from my awesome upline, Kay Kalthoff -- I don't know how she comes up with such great stuff! The papers are subject to change but so you get a good idea....
This will be a great way to get some of those holiday pictures scrapped ASAP!
And you really can't go wrong with this elegant layout for remembering a special occasion.
 
 
And our Big Shot club with do 3 projects a month.


January can still be a great time to give gifts to friends -- it's not just for Christmas -- and these fun treats are perfect for coworkers or friends in a pinch.
 
 
You can join any of these clubs up until the day that they start -- but you'll want to let me know ASAP so I can have enough supplies. Email me at simplisticstamping@gmail.com or find me on Facebook by searching for Simplistic Stamping!

Ringing in the New Year with Clubs & Shares!

I can't believe it is 2013 already -- it is always amazing how fast the time goes! I wanted to start the year off with lots of great clubs and shares to help you meet some of your own crafting resolutions. So I've created these that can fit in to anyone's schedule and crafting ability! Please email me ASAP at simplisticstamping@gmail.com to get a spot so I can have enough supplies prepared.

 
If you have questions or want more details about any one of these clubs, call or email me and I'll be glad to send you more information and sample pictures of what we will be doing. These are great short term committment clubs to see how you like them. Plus you get the bonus of products at the end that you will feel prepared to use with all the new inspiration from club!

 
Stamp set of the month club is great if you are always on the go and want things ready when YOU are have the 5 spare minutes to do something you really enjoy! This is also good for beginners as pieces will be cut and you can just assemble easily! It all gets mailed right to your house at the end of each month. I'm just finishing up my first run of this club and the ladies really enjoy the flexibility of it. Sign up NOW -- you won't want to wait until July to get in on the next one!!
 
Do you look at the catalog and want EVERYTHING....IMMEDIATELY?! Then shares can help your checkbook and your stamp space out. Get a little of everything without paying for an abundance of supplies you never seem to use all up...even though they are SOOO cute. Do one or all of these shares -- you can do multiples of the same one even. These will run through May but you will want everything right away to create when you can.

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas!

I've been busy since Thanksgiving getting some Christmas projects done! I'm still working on getting a few more stockings made to add to our mantle. But in the mean time I did finish a no sew ruffle tree skirt with the Candy Cane Christmas material that is only $.99 a pack right now! I stocked up to insure I didn't run out in case more coordinating stockings need to be made in the future ;)

 
 
I stole this idea straight from Pinterest -- don't you love Pinterest?! And of course I had to make a fun Advent calendar for Charlea this year. I used the Snow Festival DSP from the holiday catalog and the 25 & Counting stamp set....and of course glimmer paper :)

It'll be sad to see some of the awesome things from the holiday catalog go away but Stampin' Up! always comes through with as great of a catalog!
I have a few more craft shows lined up -- this weekend I'll have booths at Cornerstone UMC in Watertown and Astoria Vendor Show -- both on Saturday. So come by and check it out -- we will be taking orders for these fun onesies. Just $15 for an adorable Santa suit for all your little munchkins!

I hope you are busy crafting this December to make your holidays homemade and memorable!
