Stamp Camp

Sincere Thanks!

First I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for the kind words of condolences and cards as we dealt with the sudden passing of my grandfather.  I was thrilled to receive cards from so many people.  Here are few samples of the homemade cards I received.  I am very fortunate to have friends that care so much!

  

Stamp Camp
Once a month I hold a Stamp Camp.  Camp is usually on a Friday night from 6-9pm and on Saturday I have 2 sessions - 9am-12pm and 1-4pm.

This past weekend I hosted the camp.  We made 5 cards and we had a good time!  I hope everyone like the cards.

Here are cards and Enjoy!

 This card was made using Quilting Technique.  It looks difficult but it was really easy - at least that what my stampers said :)  We used the Sassy Salutations stamps set that is 25% off until June 30th.

 Since I received so many sympathy cards I thought it was only fitting to make one this month.  This stamp set used the Thoughts and Prayers stamp set. 

I just love the new Flower Shop stamp set and new Pansy Punch!! For this card we used the emboss resist technique.  It was quite a hit!

For this card, we tried this great fold that I have seen all over the Internet and Pinterest.  The stamp set is the Best of Birthdays that came out in January and the greeting is from the Sweet Essentials stamp set that is also 25% until June 30th.

This is one of my favorite new stamp sets! Mosaic Madness!! We also use the new Mosaic embossing folder and Mosaic punch.  This paper is also great and from the Quatrefancy Specialty Designer Series Paper! 

If you want additional information please let me know or if you are interested in attending camp contact me and I will add you to my email distribution list.

Today I am going to introduce you to Paper Pumpkin!

Paper Pumpkin is a new way to be introduced to Stampin' Up! Products and allows you 30 minutes of creativity every month!

Here is a brief description:  

It's a Magical Paper Escape Every Month!

Sweep away the mundane-your creativity carriage awaits!

I'm Paper Pumpkin . . .
I come to your door each month (a fully decked-out creativity carriage). I'll help you to escape your life with some paper fun.
I come in a sweet box, but you'll really love what you find on the inside:
All the stamps, ink, paper, and accessories to create pinable projects. Create stuff like cards, journals, décor, and more!
Paper Pumpkin by Stampin' Up! is a new monthly kit program that anyone (even you) can enjoy!

The first kit you will receive is the welcome kit.

Here are the cards that I made. The first card I followed the instructions and the other three I used my creativity to make them different.  That's how flexible these kits are!

 The second kit consisted of 4 cards, I loved this set! it was fun, up-to-date and sassy!

 

Look at the contents of the kit! Pretty impressive!

The third kit that I have received is the Good Life Brag Book!  Look at all that you get!!

 I can't wait to get started with this project! 

 

 What are you waiting for? Join now and have Paper Pumpkin be a monthly retreat for you!

Of course, you'll want to know more. So here's the nitty gritty:

• Each kit gives you and your customer a 30-minute creativity escape.
• We will ship your Paper Pumpkin on or around the 15th of the month. 
• You need to sign up for a kit by the 10th of the month to get that month's kit. If you sign up on the 11th of the month, your first kit will come the next month. (Let's say you sign up on May 10, we'll send your kit around May 15. If you sign up on May 11, we'll send your first kit around the June 15.)
• A Paper Pumpkin membership is $19.95 per month (and shipping is included!) 
• Select me (Cindy Johnson) as your demonstrator!

Photopolymer Stamps

Stampin' Up! has introduced Photopolymer Stamps. 

We've searched long and hard for just the right material to be able to introduce completely clear stamping. And we've found it. We're excited to announce that we now have wood-mount, clear-mount AND photopolymer stamps! The new photopolymer will be an addition to our stamp line and will appeal to all types of stampers. Our top-quality photopolymer has just enough give to create a perfectly stamped image every time and with the introduction of our firm-foam pads, let's just say they're meant for each other! Photopolymer stamps will also be unique, fun designs that will inspire you and provide more versatile options you may not see in our traditional wood- and clear-mount stamp options.

What makes them so great?

•They're entirely transparent for perfect placement every time!
•They are durable. The photopolymer material is designed to last.
•Can you say sticky? (Don't worry; in a good way.) These stamps stick amazingly well to our clear blocks.
•They're age tested. They won't yellow or cloud up over time.
•We could go on, but we'll let you try them for yourself.

They are clearly a great choice.
