OK. Tomorrow, I'm going to re-post an old idea. Saturday is the Hostess Appreciation Luncheon, and the 12 Weeks emails will start VERY soon - and I've got more traveling coming up. WHEW! I'm still stamping, tho - I brought a project to work on for Saturday. :D I hope YOU will take the time to STAMP something, too!

Summer Fun = SAVINGS FOR YOU!!

Each week, Stampin' Up! will tell us something ELSE we can offer you for sale!!!! Add the scallop edge punch to YOUR order this week!

Good afternoon!


This card is from our FANCY FOLDS class this month; it was a really fun class to do, and we used the LOVE YOU MUCH bundle on several of the cards.


PLEASE NOTE: Tomorrow is the LAST DAY to take advantage of the special 20% off on this bundle! It contains three items that are new to this Idea Book:

Candy Lane Designer Series Paper

Heart to Heart Punch

LOVE YOU MUCH stamp set

If you'd like to take advantage of the special pricing, please CLICK HERE and go to the SHOP NOW link at the top, then click on SPECIALS.

Now, then. :) On to the details! This is knowns as a SWING or FLIP card; it takes some special cutting to do the swing window, but it's really cute. It's been around a while, but sometimes we concentrate on the new things for so long, we don't KNOW the old stuff! :D

We stamped on Pink Pirouette (IN COLOR) card stock with Pretty in Pink ink; the stamp is from the LOVE YOU MUCH stamp set. The DSP is the CANDY LANE DSP in the bundle; we used one side on the front of the swing window, and the other side on the back.

We stamped the medallion from LOVE YOU MUCH, and punched out the center with a 1" circle punch. Next, we colored in the heart with a Pretty in Pink Stampin' Write Marker, and matted that onto a 1-1/4" Chocolate Chip circle punch, which matted onto a 1-3/8" Whisper White circle punch. All of that went onto a Pretty in Pink scallop circle punch; we put a dimensional on back, and centered it onto the front panel - the DSP is matted with Chocolate Chip.

For the inside panel, we used the scallop edge punch on the DSP, and colored the stamp from LOVE YOU MUCH with Stampin' Write Markers - Chocolate Chip, Pink Passion, and Green Galore. Then we matted that with Chocolate Chip.

Isn't it CUTE??? So. What are YOU stamping?? And I hope you'll take advantage of that great special going on - ORDER NOW, so you don't miss out!!!!!

Rub-On Revelation Class!

Hi, everyone! Quick projects for a beautiful Friday afternoon! :D Today's share is from Tuesday's Rub-On Revelation. It was SO much fun!!!!

We did CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS - some of the smaller letters/words didn't want to go on to some of them too well. Be SURE you clean the glass - we learned by experience. :) But they're SO fun - a new dimension for those re-inker-dyed ornaments!

We also made BOXES for them, with Stampin' Up!'s exclusive scallop envelope die. That's the holiday designer series paper from the Idea Book. The medallions are punches, but the images are all rub-ons!!! SO fast and fun!!!

To order YOUR rub-ons, go to my official site and press the SHOP NOW button at the top. Go to EMBELLISHMENTS; at the bottom of that page is the RUB-ONS!!! :D Don't forget to check out all the FABULOUS specials going on now, too!

Have a wonderful weekend! Take the time to STAMP something!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Quick share on a Monday afternoon.... :)

Hi, dear friend! I'm just dropping in for a quick second - today is a class day, AND I had an eye appointment, so time is precious. I just couldn't leave you hanging today. :D

So, a quick share - and I shot the photos for a tutorial, so I'll be sharing that this week SOMEtime. I'm slammed this week, so don't be mad at me if it's not TOMORROW.... :D

THIS IS THE LAST DAY TO VOTE ON YOUR FAVORITE ANNUAL BIRTHDAY CHALLENGE ENTRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So. This and the next are the last two samples from the last Scrapbooking class. I really like both of them - and they're super-simple!

Chocolate Chip card stock with Chocolate Chip ink, using the SO SWIRLY jumbo wheel. We used Basic Black to cut ovals with the Coluzzle, and the small oval punch to punch from Creamy Caramel, and put that behind a Hodgepodge Hardware oval - and the HH ovals are on special right now! CLICK HERE to see the special!!! (just scroll down a bit....)

Isn't that a great heritage look???

And my favorite of all!!!

We used Bordering Blue cardstock, and dragged white craft ink in ONE direction, not trying to get any specific coverage, just coloring the card stock. Then, we drew lines and put in nail heads with our White Gel Pen. But first, we masked off the area we were going to put the two images - both from WINDS OF GRACE. We made sure not to draw through the masking, too!

Then, we stamped the images using Versamark, and put color on with Pastels. Oh, so simple, but so peaceful and beautiful!! :)

Leave me a comment! Let me know what you're up to! And the next post, hopefully, will be announcing the winner of the ANNUAL BIRTHDAY CHALLENGE! :)

Oh, and for pete's sake, take the time to STAMP something! :D

Wow! This is beautiful ribbon!

So, Stampin' Up! has this special right now until the 15th of the month, or until supplies last, right? I decided to get some of the satin ribbon from the Holiday Mini; it was half price, and I can always use ribbon, right?

WOW, is it pretty! It's really thick, and the quality is OBVIOUS. You want to sit and stroke it! :D

I've been baking cookies today - but I've gotten a little ill, so I think I'm going to go lie down, and try again later this afternoon - too much to do to get sick!!!!! :D

If you want to take advantage of this great special from Stampin' Up!, please call me or email me today!!!!! Let's get your order in before things are gone - like the Tags For All stamp set, which is no longer available. :)

Have a wonderful day, dear reader. Take time to STAMP something!!! I will, I promise! :D

Helllllloooooooo, out there?!?!??!

OK, I'm starting to feel like I'm talking to myself again. :D

This is one of the projects from yesterday's DECK THE HALLS stamp camp; they're lovely star ornaments made from decorative paper. This will be this week's TEN WEEKS OF CHRISTMAS item; if you aren't on my regular email list, just email me at poohisstampin@aol.com to get put on it! :) You'll get periodical emails from me about classes, Stampin' Up!® specials, and instructions for various projects. Like this one. :)

We had a wonderful time! I love all this decorative paper - it's so easy to work with, and the colors are wonderful. I'd love to hear what you think about them!

OK, I'm off to design some more things! Don't forget, my dear reader, to TAKE TIME TO STAMP SOMETHING - then bless someone with it! :) Have a wonderful day!

World Card-Making Day is Coming on Saturday!

It's coming FAST, everyone - the celebration of World Card-Making Day! I was SUPPOSED to be out of town on Saturday, but it turns out that I've got to be here for a wedding that night, and we'll leave afterwards. SO, here's what I'd like to offer you, to CELEBRATE! :D

If you'd like to learn how to make one of these criss-cross cards during live chat, email me between now and Friday night. I'll email you the link to the chat room we'll be using and the materials you'll want to have on-hand, and you can ask me any questions you want. This link will take you to the tutorial on it, but sometimes it's easier if you do it as someone tells you how. :) This will be a FREE online class, and everyone who attends will have a special offer to participate in. I hope you'll come join me! :) I'll be able to scan in and post things - if you'll have a little patience! :D - when you have a specific question. Class will be held on Saturday, October 6, at 10:30 a.m. Central time! I don't think it will take more than an hour, unless we get off on other things to talk about. :D I hope to hear from you, that you want to attend, and that you're looking forward to it!

If you can't come to class, be sure and take the time to stamp on Saturday. I mean, it would be just AWFUL if you had a special day to do so and didn't, wouldn't it???? :D

In the meantime, there IS a special from Stampin' Up!® for it, too: take 20% off any Simply Sent Card Kit in the Idea Book & Catalog! This is a GREAT sale, but it's only good from now until Saturday!!!! REMEMBER: I also have to get your money in my account before I can order for you - so CALL ME TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Gonna jet, my friends. Keep praying for Becky P.; Hannah doesn't have to have surgery, but she's in extreme pain. :( Life is not easy at their house right now!!!

TAKE THE TIME TO STAMP SOMETHING!!!!!!!!!!
