January brings Christmas Scrapbook pages and Valentines

Hi Folks. I hope the holidays were as enjoyable for you as they were for me. I (obviously) took a little time off from my Stampin' Up! business and now it's time to ramp up again. My 1st event for 2013 will be a Card Buffet on January 18th from 7pm until Midnight at our usual location in Oxnard, CA. If you'd like to come and don't know where that is, let me know and I can clue you in.
 
If you aren't familiar with the Card Buffet format, here's my explanation:

 

• I prep several projects you can make (see below).
• You let me know you plan to come and can attend at any time between 7 pm and Midnight.
• You bring your own double-sided tape for the best prices. I can provide one for purchase ($7) if you wish or you'll pay extra per-project if you don't bring your own.
• You choose the projects you want.
• Make them and I'll help if you need assistance. My goal is to help make it easier for you.
• You'll pay based on what you make that night and I'll be happy to sell you LOTS of beautiful Stampin' Up! items if you wish. Our Spring Catalog just came out and there are tons of new items in it. I'll be featuring some this month and in the months to come.

If you'd like a copy of the new Stampin' Up! Spring Catalog, just let me know and I'll get one to you.

Also, SALE-A-BRATION is coming this month! Yipee!!! If you' aren't familiar with it, you'll want to be. Think LOTS of free stuff!!!

Card prices for the January Buffet are $1.50 per card, or $2.00 per card if you use my SNAIL (double sided tape).

The 2 page, 12 x 12 Scrapbook layout will be $7.00, or $8.00 if you use my SNAIL.

Ready to see? Here we go.

Valentine 1:  This uses the cute new, "Henry Says," stamp set.  I also used the Small Heart Punch and our "Polka Dot Parade" Designer Series Paper.  The Stampin' Up! "Stampin' Distress Tool" was used to "rough up" the edges a little.  Cute lil' guy, ain't he?   :>)

 

Valentine 1 - inside

Valentine 2 shows off one use of the new, "Oh, Whale!" stamp set.  If you follow the link you'll find out how to purchase this set in Clear mount, wood mount,  and digital formats.  It also features the Jumbo Roller Stamp, "Oh, Wave!".  These are also set up to work beautifully for baby showers and announcements.  Sweet!   Don't miss the coordinating Designer Series Paper in the Spring Catalog.

I had a little fun with the starfish here on the inside.  :>)

 

This one is, as it says, "Just Because".  I used the "First Edition" Specialty Designer Series Paper and  a ABSOLUTELY FREE Sale-a-Bration stamp set for this one.  Come out Friday night to see what I'm talking about.

 

This 4th card uses our scoring board's new Borders Scoring Plate, beautiful DSP, our large (8mm) rhinestones, and ANOTHER ABSOLUTELY FREE stamp set for SALE-A-BRATION!

This is the inside.

Here's my 2 page layout for Sanata and Mrs. Claus.  Thanks to Veronica Vasquez for the original idea I took and modified.  The format is true 12 x 12 . I used our Silver Glimmer Paper and a rhinestone for a little sparkle.  These would be great for pictures of a visit with Santa but would work as well for general Christmas pictures.  I'll bring myBig Shot and dies so you can cut out letters to say whatever you like. 

Collar detail:

Our last option for January uses our new "Core'dinations Cardstock".  This is WONDERFUL cardstock!  I used it here with my Big Shot Machine and new honeycomb embossing folder.  The Core'dinations cardstock has a lighter colored center so tearing, embossing, and sanding all lend to different fun looks.   

 

I hope you can come out and play with me on Friday.  I'd love to visit and catch up.
