Don't Miss the Card Buffet!

The cards are half done! I have 8 of the 16 cute and easy cards ready for the upcoming card buffet! You won't want to miss out on this event -- come either weekend or both to really stock up on some great cards.

 I love how easy it is to make a purse with the Top Note die and the DSP Patterned Paper Stack. Just change out the sentiment for any occasion -- the Curly Cute stamp set goes great with this card! And we can all use a variety of birthday cards on hand. The cupcake punch and stamp set, Create a Cupcake, have so many uses and is a great addition to your collection.

Never been to a card buffet?! YOU ARE MISSING OUT! Here are all the details --

**ASTORIA HAS CHANGED TO APRIL 20TH**

Win a Trip to San Diego!

I really enjoy getting the chance to make cards for stamp set of the month club. This month's set was Oh, Henry from the mini catalog. This cute little elephant was easy to stamp on DSP and cut out, or watercolor, or use another stamp to get texture! And there are so many sentiments in the set to adapt to any occasion.

Members of the club get these 3 cards plus the cut cardstock to make the card on the right at home and the Oh, Henry stamp set. If they weren't a fan of the set or already had it, they could substitute another set that they liked....delivered to their door...all for just $30!

Make sure to order this cute set before the catalog ends in May!

There are so many great specials going on at Stampin' Up! right now too! Fabric Frenzy started today...50% fabric....that is crazy!

Plus a chance to win a trip for two to San Diego!!!! You can enter to win and get all the details about the trip and the new This and That line by going HERE!

Fancy Folds Club

I'm getting really excited for this upcoming club starting in May -- Fancy Folds! These are the first month's projects. 

I love the summery 'flip flop' card. And since this club starts right before graduation, the spring fold graduation hat will be perfect! You can RSVP for the Fancy Folds Club by clicking HERE. Here are all the details:

Our New Stamper Has Arrived!

Our newest stamper arrived last week and we are very excited and blessed to have her here with us! She will be well taken care of in our Stamping Aunties group of demos :) Here is Georgia --

 

I have a quick little project I put together using some scraps. Closet organizers for Georgia! I saw a lot of these on Pinterest when I was looking at nursery organization and I had to make my own. I used the 1" circle punch to round the corners and punch the circle. Then just cut a slit from the corner so I could hook it on the rod. I love the Big Shot letter & number dies to do little things like this...so quick and you never have to worry about running out of letters like you do with stickers from a store!

 



 

P.S. - This is definitely not all the clothes this girl has :)

 

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to get any Sale-a-bration orders in -- just 5 days left!!!!!



Happy Belated Valentine's Day

I meant to get these projects posted before Valentine's Day but these could be adapted to lots of different occasions with the fun Oh, Whale stamp set!

I used the Two Tags die and the coordinating clearlit die for the whale stamp set to make these treats for Charlea to take to daycare. And nothing is complete for a daycare treat without a googly eye! The gusseted bags that were carried over from the holiday mini catalog are really easy to work with -- and a great value! I put a cupcake in a plastic cup so it would sit flat and they fit perfectly. The rose red seam binding is so easy to tie knots with too!

We've also been busy getting ready for baby #2 these last couple of weeks...only 2 1/2 more weeks until I'm due. I wanted to make something to give all the nurses & doctors at the hospital. 

I used the Petite Purse die to create these fun little baby bags. I wanted to use up some scraps to cover the tops of the purses and the pockets are made with the modern label punch. And of course it wouldn't be complete without filling it with some raspberry hershey kisses!

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.
