For The Love of Swallowtail

I had the best time yesterday with my friend Judith. We spent the afternoon working on creating contact cards to hand out.  We tried so many different variations and all looked great, but here is our final result:
.

 

The front of the card we stamped with the Stampin' Up! Swallowtail background stamp in Tempting Turquoise. We then matted it onto Tempting Turquoise paper.  We then used MDS to print out our upcoming events and contact information.  We also added a small stamped butterfly from Stampin' Up's Papillion Potpourri on the back.

The card is small enough to carry several around at all times. I am going to pass out these cards to help me in sharing with others about my Stampin' Up! business. It is a very simple card, but really shows how pretty a stamped image can be.

And look for more posts that talk about Stampin' Up!s MDS digital studio. I have just started experimenting. I love to stamp and combine MDS elements in my projects!

New Events

I am so excited to be signed back up to be a Stampin' Up! demonstrator. I have scheduled a few different events for the summer.  The first Thursday of each month, starting July 3rd, I will be having a stamp camp at my home.  This first month we will be making a gift with matching card and envelope.  It has turned out so cute and you will leave with a gift ready to give and know how to make your own!  The cost of this night is only $12 OR Free with a $17 order.

I will also be hosting a crop night! I am so ready for this fun night! Bring whatever projects you are working on and lets get some things done without the distractions you have at home.  I will have my cricut, bigshot, stamps and inks etc available for your use.  Bring your adhesive and I will have a few consumable supplies available for purchase if you run out.

The cost for the crop night is $15 OR Free with a $20 order! Come and go anytime Friday July 18th 3PM - Midnight. I will provide light snacks and lemonade.  How much do you think we can get done???

Check in here often as I begin planning and posting about new events.

Another item to think about ordering are the watercolor pencils and crayons. Both are being discontinued. Current stock of both can be ordered until they are gone.

I Love creating with watercolors! Get yours before they are all gone.

 

 

Busy Busy Busy

I have been crazy busy lately. Spent the weekend with my daughter at camp and had a blast! No back to trying to get ready for a craft fair this weekend. So much to do, but I am so excited! Join us if you are in the area. I will post pics after Saturday.

Mom & Me Mustache Party

I know that sounds like a crazy party! But with the obsession with mustaches it was easy to pull off and FUN!  We created a cool scrapbook page layout. The girls loved being able to do it themselves and they did an awesome job.

We also had a photo booth with plenty of props! This was so much fun, but I think us moms might have enjoyed it more.

Now I have to start thinking about what our next party can be. Not sure I can top this. We all had a great time!
