STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS!
- The Stampin’ Up! On-Line Extravaganza Sale is still hot, hot, hot. Be sure to check out what’s on sale here (savings up to 50% off) while supplies last. Sale ends Nov. 30.
- The sweet sequins (Metallics Sequin Assortment, one of My Favorite Things) give the stars new personality. Save 30% on the Metallics Sequin Assortment during the sale.
- I’m seeing stars and seeing a great deal! The Star Framelits Dies are 20% off during the sale and helped me crop my trio (using the smallest die).
- I used Pacific Point and crisp white to mimic my inspiration, this little card I got with my planner/calendar order from Erin Condren Designs. Here’s a $10 coupon (I’ll get $10 off on my next order, too) if you need a yummy planner for 2016!
- The Project Life Corner Punch made rounding the edges a breeze.
- The Banner Triple Punch (one of My Favorite Things) allows you to crop flagged ends for three different sizes of banners (and more, if you line it up without the guides).
- My congratulations card could work for birthday as well as a “congrats” achievement! The sentiment is from Bravo photopolymer stamp set (above) and was heat embossed in White Stampin’ Emboss Powder.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family, Mary.
I too, am grateful to know you, even if it’s not in person, for so many years of being your customer, I think you became my SU demonstrator back in 2006 and I picked you because you lived in Madison, WI. the town hosting the Iron Man Triathlon I was taking part in. You always inspire with your beautiful creations, I’ve learned a lot from you.
So thank you for being such a sweet friend and awesome SU demonstrator for all this years, you are right, this wonderful hobby and craft gives us the opportunity to meet and befriend so many sweet people along the way.
Many hugs to you and yours.
Oh, and this card is awesome, I’m going to CASE it for my daughter who got a promotion at her job, it’s just perfect!!!!!
