Remarkable You & Weekly Deals

Smiley from Millan.Net
Happy first day of autumn!  I'm ready for jeans and long-sleeved shirts, how about you?
I was so excited to see this week's deals!  I've had the Remarkable You stamp set on my wish list for awhile now.  It's been ordered and is on its way to live at my house now!
Smiley from Millan.Net
I have some cards that feature the Remarkable You stamp set, just in case you haven't been convinced to get yours yet.
Susan Nygaard design this card.  Those of us who attended Ronda Wade's Creative Convention last month were able to make this as one of our projects.  The background is cardstock that is scored using the Simply Scored tool and the Diagonal Plate.  After scoring the cardstock, you fold on each line and sponge along the edge.  The finishing touch was adding Silver Sparkle Dazzling Details at every intersection of lines.  It's not difficult, but it looks so amazing!  The flowers were stamped, fussy cut, and then placed on top with Dimensionals.
Smiley from Millan.Net
Deb Currier made this card.  Besides highlighting the flower by coloring it, she added words from the Tin of Cards stamp set, and used the new Brick Wall embossing folder to give the back of the card some texture.
Smiley from Millan.Net
The last card was made by Cindy Westerink.  She stamped the flower in Night of Navy on White Vellum cardstock.  She backed it with a piece of the English Garden DSP, put that on Night of Navy cardstock, and then layered everything on Crumb Cake cardstock that was embossed with the Brick Wall TIEF.  She topped the whole thing off with Crumb Cake 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon and Gold Metallic Thread.

 Smiley from Millan.Net
Now you see that you NEED your own Remarkable You stamp set, right?  If you order it by September 28, you can get it for 25% off!  If you'd like to order any of the products listed, you can contact me or order online at the "Shop Now" link below.

Until next time...
HAPPY STAMPING!

Help Stamp Out Breast Cancer with Paper Pumpkin

 
To show support for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Stampin' Up!'s Paper Pumpkin is going PINK . . . or at least the October boxes are! And because they know subscribers want to share the love too, they will be making a donation on their behalf to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF)*.

Stampin' Up! will donate..
  • $1 for every active Paper Pumpkin subscriber.
  • Plus, an additional $1 for every new subscriber!
Together, we will make a difference!
Here's how you can help: 
  1. Subscribe! If you're new to Paper Pumpkin, click here to get started. Your first kit will arrive in a limited-edition pink box that you'll want to hold onto forever-and we'll donate $2 because you're new!
  2. Stay active if you're a subscriber so we can donate $1 for you. Only those who receive the October shipment will be counted for the donation.
  3. Spread the word! Help us get as many new subscribers as possible. Every current subscriber adds $1 and for new subscribers it's doubled, so let's get the word out and raise as much as possible.
Remember, those who get the October kit will not only be donating to a good cause, but they will also get a one-time only, pretty pink Paper Pumpkin box! No one will want to miss it. Promise.

Swap Cards

It's summer's last hurrah - Labor Day weekend seems to signify the "official end" to summer.  Here in Michigan, the kids start back to school on Tuesday.  I'm sure they're thrilled.
Smiley from Millan.Net
These cards are from the Upscale Swap group (from July - I'm a little behind!), but I wanted to be sure to share them with you!
 Laura Barto - Summer Silhouettes, Sassy Salutations, English Garden DSP
 Smiley from Millan.Net
 Diane Kipp - Six-Sided Sampler, English Garden DSP
 Smiley from Millan.Net
 Judi Cayton - Gift from the Garden
 ...and Judi decorated the inside of her card.  Isn't that a sweet surprise?
 Smiley from Millan.Net
This was my swap card for the group in July.  I've already posted this card and the inside surprise, but if you missed it, you can see it HERE.

Until next time...
HAPPY STAMPING!

September? Already?

 Don't you love seeing the new weekly deals? It's always so fun to see what new items are on special!
Smiley from Millan.Net
It may be September, but our weather isn't acting like it's almost fall.  Yikes! I'm staying cool by remaining inside in the air conditioning.  (My favorite place...)
Smiley from Millan.Net
Here are more card samples from the swap group I'm in. They all have a little touch of summer to them...
 Anita Ferre' - Sprinkles of Life
 Smiley from Millan.Net
 Beata Fiebelkorn - Butterfly Basics
Smiley from Millan.Net
 Carol Stofer - Sprinkles of Life
Did you notice one color that is repeated in each of the cards above?  It's the new Watermelon Wonder.  Love it!
 Smiley from Millan.Net
 Cindy Westerink - Awesomely Artistic
Smiley from Millan.Net
 Deb Currier - Butterfly Basics
 Smiley from Millan.Net
Now go back and notice the stamp sets that were used on the cards above.  Did you notice there are two cards made with Sprinkles of Life and two cards made with Butterfly Basics? They look so different that you wouldn't even know they used the same stamp set! 
Smiley from Millan.Net
Hope you've been inspired!  Until next time...
HAPPY STAMPING!
