Greetings From...

Hi,
There are two fun new "Simply See-Through" stamp sets available for purchase right now.  I really like the Greetings From set.  I think it is fun and very versatile!

Below are pictures of the two new sets and a picture of a few simple projects using them.  I know you can come up with more!







I will be placing an order on Friday, September 27.  Please contact me by 6:00 that night if you have any products you want to order.  (I'm definitely getting myself the Envelope Punch Board after checking out all those cute file folder cards yesterday!!!)

Have a lovely day,
Andra

My next purchase!

So, the Envelope Punch Board is the NEW BIG THING that Stampin' Up! has released and it is proving to be a lot of fun.   I had a post about the Envelope Punch Board a while ago so scroll through my posts so you can read more details about it.  Not only is this tool great for making ANY SIZE envelope you need, but you can do other cool things with it!

Check out this video, made by Patty Bennett, showing how to use this tool to make "file folder style" cards.

I love it!  I wish I had been able to do this when I made Brody's Spy Birthday Party invitations in August!  I made file folder cards and had to make a template and trace it onto cardstock and cut it out by hand each time.  This is much faster and cuter!

Here's another video, made by Catherine Pooler!

Here are some cute cards make using the same tool!

This cute card was made by Robin Feicht.  

This was made by Catherine Pooler.  Her tutorial is above .

Amy Storrie made this card.  It's actually a Gift Card holder.  The sides are attached and you pull out the "yippee skipped" insert to find the gift card!

This card was made by Angie Juda.  Quick, easy and fun for Hallowe'en.

I guess you know what I'm getting with MY next order!!!  :)

Have a great weekend,
Andra

Busy, busy!

Hi everyone,

I am super busy with back to school right now, so my posts have slowed down a bit.  You are up to date with all the specials and "news", so I need your help.

Please leave a comment with the name of a stamp set you'd like me to showcase.  That means I'll search for some ideas online and post them on my site!

I appreciate your help and ideas!!

Have a good day!
Andra

Shelli Gardner

Shelli Gardner is the CEO and co-founder of Stampin' Up!.  She is a delightful person.  She is full of love and emotion and you feel good just being around her.

I have met her and had my picture taken with her many times over the past 8 years and she has an incredible way of making you feel like the most important person in the world when you talk with her.

This week she had a serious horseback riding accident and will require months of therapy before she is back to her regular level of activity.

If you're interested in reading the story, please check out her blog.  Her husband, Sterling, has posted an update about her.

Here is a fun picture of Shelli and I this summer.  This was taken just before the one I posted about a month ago.  She and I were sharing a little funny moment about something that happened just before I spoke with her and I love this picture because it captured the tone of our chat perfectly.


Thinking of you, Shelli!  Sending you warm, loving, healing thoughts!
