MORE FREE PRODUCTS!

Good morning!
Looks a little more like winter out there now with a light blanket of snow...winter is always prettier with snow :)

So today is our last ONLINE Open House day and I just wanted to remind you of a few things in case you would like to get an order in...

  • Each month I will have a MONTHLY CODE that you can use when you enter your online order. This code puts you for the monthly draw for a prize! This month's prize is the beautiful Avant Garden stamp set. January's code is #333GHKNR
  • You can place your orders either by emailing them to me (if under $100 this saves you shipping cost) or filling out an order sheet when you attend a class, or you can place them online - click the SHOP link and it takes you to my online 24/7 store.
  • I will be placing orders monthly - for January my order will go in tonight. For February my order will go in Feb 26th. I have posted my order dates on my calendar so you know when to have orders into.

So lets look at the rest of the Sale-A-Bration items that you can pick from if you place an order of $60 or more. This is the only way to get these items - and after March 31 they will not be available.

So our JANUARY MONTH PRIZE is the Avant Garden stamp set.



I love this stamp set so much - you can stamp it in simple black ink on white yardstick and it looks stunning or you can add some colour with either stamp pads or by colouring in with the watercolour pencils, Stampin' Write Markers or the blender pen.  Below I kept mine card simple with the In Colour inks and added dimension/texture but cutting the flowers out.


Here are the examples from the catalogue:



Also one of their projects they feature uses a the feature item and shows you a list of the products you could purchase to earn the stamp set for FREE. (this is just an example you don't have to buy this exact items to earn it)




Another FAVOURITE of mine is the Carried Away Designer Series Paper!


I love how it coordinates so well with the Lift Me Up bundle in the Occasions Catalogue. I'm looking forward to playing more with these items for my March Birthday Buffet Class!



I love their example using the papers and bundle set to make this beautiful scrapbook layout!



And here is another project they have featured showing what you can purchase to earn the free paper!



I have shown a few of the projects I have created with this paper in previous posts but here is one more! I love the Night of Navy ink colour!



Another FREE item is the Tasty Trucks stamp set.


This is such a cute stamp set and I've seen so many great projects on pinterest!

Here is what I created using it:



Here is what my friend April created using it - isn't it cute!



And some other ideas:





The Card Tin is another option for a FREE product. Such a great idea to either get for yourself to safely store all of your beautiful cards OR you could decorate it up and give it away to a friend as a beautiful gift!


This is very similar to the Designer Tin of Cards project kit found in your annual catalogue and I have the stamp set that you could use (at an Open Studio) to customize the individual divider tabs that come with the tin.



Any Occasion stamp set is the final item to show you in the Sale-A-Bration catalogue.


How cute is it!



If you have any questions about any of these products or how to get your favourite(s) be sure to email/text/call - I would love to help you out!

TOUR OF MY OPEN HOUSE

For those of you that missed the Open House that ran from 1-3pm I thought I would share with a quick tour video so you could see of the products and things that were featured.


Thank you to everyone who came - it was great to see everyone out and hear what you thought of the new products! 


Glad people had a chance to play with the new products and my new Big Shot!



There were a few laughs! Today was fun!


In case you came and still want to get your orders in please make sure to send to me by Sunday at 4pm :) 

And I want to say a HUGE thank you to April Watt for all of her help with getting cards/projects done up before hand and for her help today with the Make & Take's and showing people around! 



So later tonight I will post the details for the rest of the classes - but I will leave you now with a video - showing you a closer look at some of the projects I did for the Open House:




ONLINE OPEN HOUSE - DAY 2

Welcome back everyone - happy snowy Saturday.

I just wanted to post a few things on here this morning before the Open House live event starts (1-3pm 339 Arrowhead Place, Kingston).

One of the things I love to be able to do at my Open House is show you the product in person - I have several items from the Occasions and Annual catalogue but I also have almost all of the Sale-A-Bration items .... so you can see in what FREE products you could earn with your order of $60 or more.

One of my favourites is the Inside The Lines Designer Series Paper - there is so much potential with these 12x12 sheets.

You can use different colouring tools on the Inside the Lines paper to achieve a variety of effects - I have used my Watercolour pencils, Aqua Painters, Blender Pens, Stampin' Write Markers, and Sponge Brayers on them - they all work perfect!


Here is the card we did at the Stampin' Up! OnStage Conference - so cute!


Check out this quick video that Stampin' Up! did:



Another Sale-A-Bration item is the Metallic Ribbon combo pack.

I love that it has both the white and vanilla shades so you can use on any project.
Here is what I created using the while/silver ribbon:


Did you notice the card is also featuring the Delicate Details stamp set - 
another of the Sale-A-Bration items. 


Here are a few examples of this card - works perfect with the Falling In Love suite!




Another Sale-A-Bration item is the Pretty Pocket Card kit




Stampin' Up! has a quick video here showing you all the details:



Ok I want to share with you one more (though there are more to choose from!),
but this one you will get to try out at my Open House with one of the FREE Make & Takes

The So Very Much stamp set.


Here are a few examples from the Sale-A-Bration catalogue and there are several more on display at the Open House. At first I wasn't sure about this stamp set - its very simple. 

BUT thats the bonus of this set - its so simple and elegant that its easy to pair with any paper set or die cuts to get a beautiful card. Plus its so quick that you could easy make a batch of these to give as a gift to a bride-to-be or a mommy-to-be! 


I hope to see some of you out to the Open House in a few hours and if not be sure to check back later today and I will give you a walk through and show you the rest of the classes I am offering for Feb, March, April and May!
