November Top Ten

One of my favorite things is coming up with special cards to hand stamp and send out to the Top Ten Demonstrators in my downline.  I like to make them a bit more over the top kind of card.  Sometimes we underestimate the power in a hand stamped card.  Many of my downline comment on how much they enjoy receiving a hand stamped card and often times some of very surprised that they have achieved being a Top Ten Diva.  Here is the card I sent out to the November Top Ten Definitely Diva Stampers.

Clean and Simple

I have always said I am a clean and simple stamper.  I like my cards to be quick to make, simple but looked like a fussed.  We all live busy lives and I like to share that stamping does not have to be time consuming (even though it consumes us, LOL, after all I quit my real job so I could stamp all day and get paid for it.  So here is my Clean and Simple card for the week.

I can not wait to share all the great products in the upcoming Occasions Mini 2012 and Sale-a-brations catalog. Card made with all Stampin' Up! products

It was so fun to stamp the image with the Apothecary Art stamp set and then easily cut it out with the new  Framelits "Labels" die.  You simply place the die over your stamped image and run it through the Big Shot and it is perfectly cut. The paper is Attic Boutique Designer Paper and the ruffle ribbon is Blushing Bride Pleated Satin Ribbon.  These amazing products will be available starting January 4th in the Occasions Mini.

Technostamper Challenge TTSC203

What did you do on your Sunday off?  I stamped, yes I know that is my work too, but today I stamped just for fun!  Nothing gets me going on being creative more than a challenge.  If you are wanting to stamp something and have it be mostly your own creation give it a try! 

I used several stamp sets for this card, the flower is from Fresh Vintage and the Sentiment is from Apothecary Art and the ribbon label from Take it to Heart, these rubber stamps will be available Jan. 4 when the customer sales period for the Stampin' Up! Occasions Mini Catalog begins.  I'll be sharing sneak peeks from the mini (and also peeks from Sale-A-Bration which starts Jan. 24) on my Patstamps blog throughout December.
