Stampin' Up is happy to announce that you'll be able to purchase In Color Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon through the catalog year!

Demonstrators and customers alike told SU just how much they love their In Color Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon that they introduced on page 5 of the Holiday Mini Catalog. This ribbon complements and coordinates many of their most popular products, including Simply Scrappin' Kits, double-sided Designer Series paper, In Color card stock, and In Color Classic Stampin' Pads. The ordering period for the Holiday Mini Catalog will end on November 30, 2006, but the ribbon doesn't end there.

Ready, Set for Camp Tomorrow

Today has been quite a productive day unlike many I've had recently. I am ready for Stamp Camp tomorrow. I finished my second prototype and found that I lost my first card and had to redo. It actually looks better than the first card. I learned a technique from one of the other bloggers on how to use a punch fo extend a tag. I used this technique for the stationary set - it really worked well. I'll have to fine the blog and give the person credit for this totally useful technique.


We're going to make this case to hold the cards. I got this idea from my upline - nice as a little gift for someone.



These are the four cards made with the SU's Holiday Papers. They are great and so easy to match and you have many choices.

Christmas is in the Air

This friday, 11/17 is our big holiday stamp camp. We have 8 people signed up already - ten of us in total WOW! I'm excited. I think we should call it "stamp-0-rama". Anyway, I finished my first card - nothing too difficult. A little embossing in red! I really like the contrast. The second item I "cased" from my upline with some modifications. This year's Christmas colors are pretty wild lime and bright red - so I tried to keep in with the general consensus. I think we probably will not have another "official" camp until January. I was thinking about just having a Christmas Card Making party. I am definitely making all my Christmas cards this year. I think this is this year's card.
