Howdy Stampin' friends! Just wanted to send out a reminder that our Stampin' Retreat, Crop-Till-You-Drop is 24 days away- WHOA, where did the time go?
For those of you signed up- or even if you're not, all classes are up! (I just need my camera for the remaining pictures!) Sign up today by e-mailing me, or see below for details. Remember, all the $$ is due March 1st to avoid the late fee. It is looking like a smaller camp than usual, but it should still be SO fun, so please join us. Don't forget, we have Saturday-only available as well. Details below! And if you can't go, make sure your stampin' friends know about it!
As an added bonus, anyone coming to retreat, or belonging to our clubs will get $5 for every $50 spent on a Stampin' Up Order BONUS SPENDING MONEY!, all orders must be placed & purchased by March 1st to get the free order (except Club Members, which will be due March 5th).
Also, just FYI, our Winter Retreat date has been set (the only available weekend in the Fall for Three Mountain!) and is: November 13th-14th. The price will remain at $95. So mark your calendars!
These jars are perfect for a gift for a friend or sister...even to keep for yourself. They can be used to hold ribbon scraps, bath salts or crystals, candy, buttons, accessories, anything you can think of. They come in 2 sizes and you can choose either pattern.
Small jars are $3. Paper is double sided which allows you to play around with the colors and patterns. Large Jars are $4.
You can either hang the tag from the jar or stick it to the top.
This class is one that comes packet style with the paper, ribbon and needed items for you to create the jars at your own pace. You may order multiple jars.
Jars can also be purchased empty. Small is $1.50 and Large is $2.50
We'll be making a set of 12 cards for $10 with this page of Die cut stickers from our scrapbooking line. You can follow my designs or create your own. Envelopes not included. Completed project pictures not available until Thursday.
Everyone loves a frame project. They make fabulous gifts, can be personalized, and don't break the bank. For our Retreat, we will be focusing on frames for kids- you'll need to specify if you want to do it for a girl(s) or boy(s). I will have 2 designs available, or you can come up with your own. The cost for this class will be $6/frame project. The boy frame could also have other fun things stamped in the circle and the girl frame would be darling with some added rub-ons.
This is kind of a re-do of last Retreat's "That's A Wrap" class. This class will feature 5 projects & will be $10. The projects will include: a gift bag, a waffer box, a trendy tube, a cello bag & topper, and a small Gable. Just add the present & you're good to go!
For retreat I am designing layouts you can do at your own pace. You buy the kit for $5 and it comes with everything you need along with step by step instructions. This layout is super easy and versatile! It features new paper and accessories from the new catalog.
I used the new Raspberry Tart DSP along with build a brads, new chocolate chip 5/8 inch brads, and the eyelet punch border!
Retreat Layout Kit #2: Memories
This is another versatile layout you can use for just about any pictures. Kit is $5 and comes with all the pieces you need, along with step by step instructions. You make the layout when you want and at your own pace.
Kit's are available to those not going to retreat. Just let me know and I will get the packet to you.
