You're A Blast!

On todays card I used Pun Fun. I absolutely Love that set, but I never use it. I dont know why. I guess I just always get new sets that I want to play with and since I dont really get that much time to stamp my newer ones get used first. My goal is to make a box set of all the pun fun stamps just because they cover all occassions and they're really cute. So I got inspiration from my upline Angie. I was at her house the other day and she was making a pop up card using this stamp. So I got thinking about it that night and I thought I needed to make one too only mine isnt a pop up card. I have no idea what hers looks like or if she even finished it yet, but I made mine. It uses that adorable little rocket ship. Im thinking I might use this card for my world card making day class... We'll see. So this uses the same color scheme as the Birthday card I posted yesterday. I do eally like those colors together. Here's the recipe for the card. Thanks for visiting!

Recipe
Stamps: Pun Fun, Nursery Necessities (star)
Paper: Pacific Point, Tangerine Tango, Kiwi Kiss, Riding Hood Red
Ink: Pacific Point, Staz On, Kiwi Kiss, Tangerine Tango
Accessories: Silver Brads

It's a Christmas Bulb

Well... here it is, my very first Christmas bulb. It looks a lot more wonderful in person. It was pretty hard to photograph in my house as it was night time when I did it. I took a clear bulb that you can find in pretty much any craft store and used Riding Hood Red to die the bulb. I then added some dazzling diamonds glitter and WALA! you have yourself a christmas bulb. I used some rub-ons that I had layin around while I am waitin for my Christmas ones to come in. We will be making one of these bulbs at my Christmas Time Fun class in December among other really cute things. Have a Great Day!

Birthday Wishes

I am really trying hard to keep up with my posting, which means I have to stamp more so I have something to post. Not only do all of you get to see what Ive been working on but I also will get an emblem from my upline for keeping up with my blog. What is an emblem you ask? Look down a couple posts. Its the 20/20/20 Scavenger hunt. Im trying really hard to make it to twenty...we'll see though. I always get a good start on something but have a tendency to slack off after a bit. So anyways todays card....Ya know, I really like the new Pacific Point but its sooo bright, its hard for me to use. I have found that I absolutely love this color combination though. You will see it used in another card that I will post possibly tomorrow or at some point this week. Here's the recipe.

Recipe:

Stamps: Wow Flowers

Paper: Pacific Point, Kiwi Kiss, Tangerine Tango

Ink: Pacific Point, Kiwi Kiss, Tangerine Tango

Accessories: 1 3/8 cirle punch, 1 1/4 circle punch, Scallop Edge Punch

Thinking about Christmas

I was blog surfing the other day trying to think of some cards for my Christmas Stamp-a-Stack...I know I still have 2months but I dont have a lot of time to stamp...anyways I came across a card that I just loved. I knew I had to case it. So I emailed the lady and asked her if I could steal the idea for my class and she said Of Course! Feel Free! So thats what I am doing. I did change the color a little bit, but otherwise its pretty much the same card. You can check out her blog here.

Recipe:
stamps: Lovely as a Tree, Heard from the Heart
Paper: Riding Hood Red, Certainly Celery
Ink: Certainly Celery, Riding Hood Red
Accessories: 1/4 grossgrain ribbon, dazzling diamonds glitter, 2 way glue pen

Pocket Silhouettes

Let me tell you.. I am SOOOO glad I bought this stamp set. I wasnt real crazy about it... well I should say I really liked it, but couldnt see me using it that often. Well it was on sale so I thought what the heck. Now I love it. I havent had a ton of time to play with it as I have to make 80 save the date cards for a relative and havent really even made a dent in them yet but I did do one card.

The blue background is a piece of paper that I used to take the picture on. I really like this card dont you? I used Kiwi kiss and Chocolate Chip paper, the new Urban Garden DSP and Chocolate Chip ink and taffeta ribbon. It was super simple to put together. This is one of the cards we will be making for my World Card Making day class. To check the date and time visit my calendar at laurafiske.stampinup.net. If you would like to come just shoot me a message and let me know.

I also made this post it note holder. I really like how it turned out. Its the first one I ever made and its still missing a magnet on the back as I keep forgetting to get some when Im at the store...hopefully Ill get some soon. I again use the Pocket silhouettes with Urban Garden DSP and chocolate chip ink. I used the scallop punch to punch out the Dsp to cover the Binder Clip. I then used my circle punches to punch out the brown circle and the stamped image. I actually am not using that bright yellow paper, I have some "normal" dull yellow post it notes that I am using instead. I just didnt have them when I took the picture. I also made a matching pen using the Urban Garden paper to go with the post it note holder. I love this little set so much maybe Ill make a little stationary set out of it. hmm...... guess I better get the Save the date cards done first. Then I can play more. It gives me good incentive.

Thanks for stopping by!

20th/20/$20 Scavenger Hunt

My fabulous upline is offering this scavenger hunt. She got the idea from a Fantastic Demo named Aly Schilling. She liked it and decided to use it and I have no decided to offer this scavenger hunt as well.

Stampin UP is celebrating their 20th Anniversary this year and I'm so excited about it, I'm offering you a scavenger hunt. What's it all about you might ask?Well.........This promotion will run from now until June 30th 2009.Through out the year I will be placing these 20 year emblems on items and handing them out. This is the emblem that you will look for.

The first item that you will see them on is your catalog, so contact me to get your discounted catalog $5.00 (normally $9.95). Here are some other ways that you will receive the emblem:

*A receipt for an order total that is over $50.00

*Any class that you attend

*Any time you register a new to me guest for a class

*Any time you refer a new customer who places a $25.00 or more.

* And any other time that I see fit.

But here's a little hint... my hostess will get the emblems much quicker. Hostess will find them on:

*Hostess Packets

*Hostess Benefits Receipts for high totaling workshops

*Hostess gifts and more!

Hostess will also get them for random things that make me happy:

*Having high attendance at their workshops

*Having a fair amount of outside orders before their workshop

*Getting bookings at their workshops and more!

So you will definitely want to host several workshops through out the year. So why am I collecting these emblems? When you collect twenty, 20 year emblems, I will give you a $20.00 Stampin Up! Gift Certificate!

There are a few rules:

*The emblems are NON-TRANSFERABLE. You cannot give your emblems to someone else! If this begins to happen the promotion will end

*You can only receive one $20.00 Gift Certificate through out the year. If you collect 40 emblems, you will not get $40.00.

*You must keep track of your emblems. I won't be writing down who gets what. If you loose them, I will not replace them. I suggest that you throw them in a Ziploc bag and keep them in your catalog.

Have fun and get collecting your emblems.
