Teeny Tiny Wishes

This is a stamp set that you NEED to have! 24 sentiments -- everything from Happy Birthday to Happy St. Patrick's Day with a whole lot of happiness in between! It's even better paired with the Modern Label Punch.

So here's what I am going to do! Buy the Stamps and the Punch together at a discounted price and you'll have the option of coming to a class or taking as a "kit to go" all the makings for 5 gift cards and envelopes. I'll send you home with a bonus template sheet so you'll always be able to whip together sweet but simple cards!

The class date is Tuesday, December 1st, at 7:00 pm at my NEW Stampin' Spot. If you can't make it to class, I'll deliver a kit with your supplies.

It's one flat price of $50.00. Discounted product. No shipping charges (hooray!). And a class.

Here's what you have to do. RSVP quickly by Friday, November 20th, so all the stamps will be here in time. Let me know if you're coming to class or need a kit. And skip online ordering this one and only time. This is a super secret Carla only promotion. But feel free to tell anyone -- and everyone!

Pretty Fair Stampin'!

 

I'm turning our blue ribbon stampin' these days! I picked up one blue ribbon and one second place ribbon at the North Carolina State Fair. The winners are entirely made from Stampin' Up! products. (I get them back in a week when the Fair closesd, and I will post some closer pictures.)

Entering the competition was one of those things I would think about every year when I walked through the exhibits, and then never actually do anything about. This year I kept up with the registration deadline, filled out the forms, and carried my entries in past the Security Guard who "reckoned I didn't look like no terrorist".

There's a lot to love about NC!

Summer Memories!

 

It's still in the 90s, and the humidity is ferocious this week, but the pool season is now a thing of the past. I put together a quick layout using the In Color Bermuda Bay and Crushed Curry combo. The letters in the title are from "Defining Alphabet" and the stamp set is the (sadly) retired "Fun in the Sun".

School Supplies

 



Some of our "Traditional Calendar" friends began a new school year today. I fancied up a few basic pencil cases because I find school supplies irresistible!

I used a retired Stampin' Up! set called "Elementary Essentials". As long as I have children in elementary school, I will probably reach for this set again and again.

The boy combo is Bashful Blue/Brilliant Blue.

The girl combo is Melon Mambo and Basic Black.

You're on my Mind

There are three things I love about this card.

1) It is a very simple design that can be duplicated over and over again.

2) It makes use of the "Upsy Daisy" stamp set. I think the main focal image of this set, when stamped in light and dark, looks fabulous!

3) It makes use of the new In Color Melon Mambo which I am pairing often with Pretty in Pink. Love them together!

Stamp Set: Upsy Daisy
Paper: Whisper White, Pretty in Pink, Melon Mambo
Ink: Melon Mambo, Pretty in Pink
Accessories: Large Oval Punch, Melon Mambo Polka Dotted Ribbon, Stampin' Dimensionals

Convention Candy

One web site I keep turning to these days is Stampin' Addicts. It is all (or mostly!) Stampin' Up! and it is filled with positive energy and feelings (no griping allowed).

The ladies who run the site are back from Stampin' Up!'s annual convention in Utah and they have goodies to give away. Check it out!
