Happy Halloween Spider Card
Posted on: Monday, October 3rd, 2011Comments
I don’t know about you all, but I just love Halloween. We’re not one of those families that go all out and decorate our house for Halloween or throw Halloween parties, but we enjoy taking the kids out trick or Treating, and I enjoy creating all sorts of nifty Halloween projects. We’ve got a whole bunch of them planned over the next few weeks. Today’s card is a quick and easy one using the supplies listed below. I have to say, Stampin’ Up!’s spider paper from the Frightful Sight collection is just too cute! When I saw it, I immediately knew that it would go perfectly with my glittered spider stickers from Jolee’s Boutique.
Stamps: 2009 Halloween Tags (Papertrey Ink)
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black ink (Tsukineko)
Paper: Rich Razzleberry CS, Cajun Craze CS, Basic Black CS, Whisper White CS; Frightful Sight DP (Stampin’ Up!)
Accessories: Limitless Layers 1 ¾” Circles die set (Papertrey Ink); Glitter Spiders (Jolees boutique); 1 ¾” circle punch (Stampin’ Up!); Craft Thread (Michael’s)
*NEW* Project Kits & a Give-Away
Posted on: Sunday, October 2nd, 2011Comments
*We’ve put up a number of different posts today so please scroll down to see them all*
We’ve had a number of people asking us WHEN we’re going to put out more project kits. While many of you enjoy our digital tutorials, there are times when it’s nice to not just get the instructions, but the supplies as well. After all, I know from my own shopping experience that I’d rather pay shipping in ONE place, than pay shipping in all sorts of different places trying to get all the supplies I need for a project. Because let’s face it, there are SO MANY amazing products out there, it’s impossible for any one store to carry them all!
So, given that the Holiday Season is upon us, we’ve put together a number of kits that you can either use to create holiday-themed projects for yourself, OR you can use them to gift to all the crafty people on your list!
In this post, I’ll give you a quick snapshot of all the different kits we’ve put out this week, and then you can visit our store for full details on each kit.
All kits include virtually ALL the supplies you need to make the projects (other than double-sided adhesive or sticky strip) as well as step-by-step written directions (in some cases, video tutorials).
To see our full range of kits click HERE.
Christmas Jingle Tri-Shutter Album
We’ve revamped and re-styled our popular Christmas Jingle Tri-Shutter album which we originally designed and created in 2009. We’ve added in an extra insert in the center of the album allowing you to fit two more full-sized pictures – for a total of up to 9 pictures. When closed, this little album is 6″ x 8″ inches. It’s the perfect size to place as a showpiece on your coffee table, or to send as a photographic Christmas card to far-away loved ones! Click on the link above to see a picture of the inside.
Price: $29.95 + S&H
Blitzen Holiday Planner in a DVD Tin
Give yourself peace of mind and an organized holiday season with this Blitzen Holiday Planner in a DVD tin. You’ll be able to keep track of your holiday events, shopping list, menus and more! Packaged in a sturdy tin, you’ll be able to tuck it into your purse and carry it wherever you go! This planner opens in an accordian format to reveal three pockets with planner inserts at the front, and two at the back. The planner inserts include: a 15 month calendar (from October 2011 until December 2013), a gift purchasing planner, stocking stuffer planner, menu planner and christmas card planner. Each planner insert (other than the calendar) includes 5 sheets printed double sided on a tear-off pad - giving you 10 pages in all for each planning category. Click on the link above for a view of the inside.
*tins AND holiday planner insert pads are also being sold separately if you want to make more. Please note though that our supplier has notified us that the tins are on backorder until mid-October. We have a limited number of the kits in stock, and once those are gone, we are waiting on our order.

Do you ever find yourself scrambling to find something to write on and write with? I sure do…whether I’m home on the phone trying to take a message, or out and about trying to make a note to myself or wanting to check my calendar. If you’re like me then you’ll love my new Calendar & Note Pad tin…it’s portable, durable, small and of course pretty. We also have a few bundles of the calendars and note pads, as well as the tins left.

Stitched Stockings Class, A Blog Give-Away & A Coupon
Posted on: Sunday, October 2nd, 2011Comments
For this month’s class we’re continuing on with our Christmas theme. We’ve designed a class using Stampin’ Up!’s new Stitched Stockings stamp set, their Stocking Builder punch, their cherry cobbler baker’s twine and the ultra-adorable mini jingle bells. What a yummy combination! As part of this tutorial you’ll create four 3″ x 6″ cards (all of the same design), 4 tags (each a different design) and a cute stocking-shaped portfolio to hold them in!
As I do each month, I am offering two versions – a Stamp Class by Email version which is a step-by-step photo tutorial with over 80 full color photos, full supply list, a cutting guide and template for the box.
The Class Planner version for Stampin’ Up! demonstrators includes the Stamp Class by Email tutorial (called the Class to Go Handout) as well as all the additional materials you need to offer it as a class to your own customers. New this month – we’ve changed the format of the customer handout. We’ve created a separate pdf handout for EACH of the projects – that way you can pick and choose which ones you want to offer as part of a class, or maybe as a Make and Take for a workshop or open house.
Don’t have the time or space to offer traditional classes? Why not offer it as a kit to go? OR, did you know that you can use the Class to Go Handout as a purchasing incentive to your customers? When they place a $50 or more order of Stampin’ Up! product from YOU, you can give them this fabulous tutorial for free? But wait….there’s more….
As part of either the Stamp Class by Email AND the Class Planner you receive access to a private web page – and this month we have a video showing you how to make the card shawl. When you order the Class Planner version, you also receive the video embed code so that you can embed the video on your own blog and offer it as a bonus to your customers which took the class or received the tutorial as a gift with purchase?
There are so many different ways that demonstrators use my planners, yet regardless of which way they choose to use it, the one thing I hear over and over again is what a benefit they have been to their business. Are you interested in adding more to your business? You can purchase the class planner HERE.
If you are not a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, but you’d like to learn how to make these projects then you can purchase the Stamp Class by Email version HERE.
Take $5.00 of your purchase of either the Stamp Class by Email OR the Class Planner when you use the coupon code CHRISTMAS. Simply enter it into the appropriate section of the cart and then hit apply. Please note that the coupon is only valid until Monday, October 10th.
*Please note, we are now offering the videos from this class to Paper Crafter’s Library subscribers as well as a written pdf on how to make the card basket. All other handouts – including the step-by-step photo tutorial, and features are remaining exclusive to the class planner/stamp class by email and will NOT be placed in Paper Crafter’s Library*
And now for a give-away! On Friday, October 7th Tuesday, October 11th, 5 lucky winners will receive the Stitched Stockings tutorial (supplies not included). All you have to do to enter is leave a comment in the comments section of this post. If you’ve never left a comment before all you have to do is to click on the title of the post, scroll to the bottom of the page and enter your comment in the comment box. Sometimes comments may take a little while to appear.
