Make and Takes from Sayner

The Sayner Convention is several different companies showing their products.
Stampin' Up does not usually have a booth there because we aren't allowed to do cash and carry sales. 
Keep that in mind when you look at the make and takes. 
You won't find any SU! products on these.
Yes, I can work with other than SU! products. 
I would have done more but I ran out of time before it was time to do my class. 




These are the ones from the Round Robin on Friday night. 
Really nice selection this year! 



Two of these are fancy folds so here they are in the open position. 


Have you had a chance to check out the retired list and the discounted prices?
Click on the comment bar and write me a note telling which of the discontinued colors you are going to miss the most. Come to the Stamp Along on Monday and see a sample of all of the new colors to see which one will become your new favorite. 
If you do that, there might be a little surprise for you there! 

This is another choice for the SA on Monday.

Stamp Along card choices

Here are a few more cards that will be featured at the May Stamp Along. 
This card uses a new set that will be in the new catalog but it is a May special so you will be able to order is now if you choose. 
It is the Share What You Love suite and is available in bundles with free product included. 
Check it out on line or see the flyer at the Stamp Along. 
The ink is the new in color, Blueberry Bushel. You can also order the in color ink pads this month if you order them as the set of five. 
The background is the Grapefruit Grove ink. 
I did partner it with the Pacific Point card stock because I don't have enough of the Blueberry yet. 
It works because the border is very small. 


This one uses a brand new embossing folder with two card stock colors that are leaving. 
I am sad to see Tempting Turquoise leave. That is one shade of blue that I really like! 
It is hard to see the embossing but it is really beautiful. 


Do you need a Father's Day card? 
This one is quick and easy. 
The DSP is put through an embossing folder with a little sponging.


Hope to see you on Monday. 
Please leave a comment for me so I know someone is out there. 
Thanks.

New and Exciting!

This is the time of the SU! year that is very difficult for me!
I have NEW stuff. I want to show you the new stuff. You can't purchase the new stuff.
YET. 
I have been working on some swaps to get some new ideas using the new products in the new catalog  to share with you. 
This is the card that I did for the swap.
I will be doing this one for any workshops that I do in May or June.
It is a little more complex than I like for the Stamp Along. 
I have done twenty two of them so I have it down pat. 
If you like these cute critters, you can add them to your wish list. 


My card stock stack is only half as large as it should be. Lots of colors have been discontinued. 
There are lots of things on the retired list and many of them have been discounted! 
Check it out in my on line store by clicking on the crab. 

Last weekend I went to the convention at Sayner, Wisconsin. 
Very nice convention! I taught a few classes and a Round Robin. 
I met many wonderful people and met up with many friends that I have made there in the past. 

I will show you the make and takes that I made there at the Stamp Along. 
I may put them on here also but they are being stubborn about loading right now. 

Here are some of the cards that will be available for you to make at the Stamp Along on Monday. 

This one uses a combo of the block stamping and the eclipse technique. 
Quick and easy so you can make many in a short time since we can always use a "Thinking of You" card. Good news! There are a few Thinking of You stamps in the new catalog. 


A friend sent a card using this layout and I immediately copied it to share with you.
I like the way the layers are offset and the two ribbons with the little knots.
One of the ribbons is not SU! but it hopped out of my ribbon box because the flower centers matched the card stock so well.
It also uses some card stock that is no longer carried and needs to move out of here.
Thank you for helping with that!



This card uses the reflection technique.
So sorry to see this swan leaving but it is not in the new catalog.
If you want it, this is a last chance.
I will have Congratulations and Celebrate as well as the Happy Anniversary stamps there for you to use. Is there another saying that you would need for this card? Let me know so I can pack it.



If you wish to place an on line order, please use the hostess code unless your order is over $150.
Check out the good deals on the retired list!
