We're on our way to NORWAY! Thank you!!

We are off on our Cruise to Norway – thank you to everyone who ordered from me - for making this trip possible.  We are so excited!!  

There was a last minute flight cancellation, and so we will not get to spend a day in London sightseeing – but if all goes well and there are no flight delays – we should be on the ship on Sunday morning!  I appreciate any prayers to this end.

We are going to be off the grid while we are gone – as we don’t get home until late Sunday the 28^th – so no emails, or FB Lives as we are not getting the "wifi" package – we are just going to relax and enjoy!!

But, I don't want to leave you high and dry - so I am offering a "cruise" special – for every $25 in purchases you make today through May 28^th, you will be entered to win a Mystery package from me.  Be sure to use my hostess code at the bottom of this post.  The Mystery package is retired but new merchandise – minimum value of $35.  If I get between $1-250 in orders I will give one package away, if I get $250-500 in orders I will give away two packages and so on, one new package each time we hit another $250 in orders.  

Each $25 you’ve ordered (pre S&H and tax) May 20-28, gets you one entry – so if you order one order or 10 orders – I’ll add them all together – divide by 25 and that’s the number of entries you get.  My plan is to draw a winner(s) on the 29^th!  Good luck to all and thank you for your continued support. 

Still taking In-color Club sign-ups through May 31 - full details here - http://crazystampinglady.blogspot.com/2023/04/2023-2025-in-color-club-join-now-for.html

Always Stamping, Maureen - the Crazy Stamping Lady!

Farewell and a Sneak Peek!!

Hi All - It's May 28th - that means only a few days before the launch of the NEW SU! catalog year!  But it also means only a few days to still get some goodies from the current catalog.  You can go to my website SHOP HERE then click on SHOP NOW and you can see the current goodies as well as what is retiring.  

Things are going fast - but there are still discounted items available.  But as of June 1 - everything on the retired list will be GONE!!!  So here's a bonus offer - ORDER from me ONLINE at my website above by May 31 at NOON - use the May Hostess code JH3TKVSD -  and order at least $50 pre S&H and Tax!!  Do that and I will mail you an In-Color Ribbon share FREE the second week of June!  That's 2 yards each of the 5 new In-colors - and believe me they are terrific!!  You can see the colors in the bookmark shown at the bottom of this page.  What are you waiting for - click the SHOP HERE above and get some great stamping products - all available products count toward this special - not just the retiring items.  But I'm offering this ONLY till Noon on May 31st!!

*~*~*~*~*

Also, I want to give you a sneak peek of one of the great new sets in the catalog, "Perfectly Wrapped" (you'll also see some of the new In-color ribbon and several of our new colors- all except Flirty Flamingo).  This is a card I a made for a new catalog swap - and I love the way it turned out.  The background images are Tone on Tone using Peekaboo Peach, and the photopolymer stamps make it so easy to line up the words inside that circle.  It was actually stamped three different times to get the three different colors and looks great!!!

Here's they are just before I packaged them up to mail them out.  Can't wait to get the other 9 designs back from the others in the swap - I'll be sure to share them all.

Still need a catalog - well let me know.  The catalogs are FREE - I only charge $6.50 for shipping if you need it mailed to you.  If you can pick up - then NO CHARGE at all!!  And each catalog will include an In-Color Bookmark!

Here's the bookmark (ribbon colors and punch design will vary) and it's perfect for marking the page of a stamp you NEED or a design you HAVE to make.  Let me know if you'd like one and I'll make it happen!

See you soon - ta, ta for now!  ~Maureen

Paper Pumpkin - NOW's the TIME!!

Paper Pumpkin is even MORE AMAZING with this deal!

If you have never tried out Paper Pumpkin kits - NOW is the TIME!!!  With this amazing offer, each of your first two months will only cost you approximately $10 plus tax - and let me tell you these kits are soooo much fun!!  You can sign up at the Paper Pumpkin Site and choose 'redeem now', then enter the HALFOFF promo code, fill in your shipping info, your billing information and be sure to choose me as your demonstrator!!  That's it - you'll get your first two kits @ 50% off and after that they will be $19.95 plus tax.  But you can cancel anytime, or just take a break for a while - so there is no further obligation.   Although - I don't think you'll want to stop the FUN!

Sign up at - https://mypaperpumpkin.com/en/?demoid=6426

These kits are all inclusive - with your first one you will receive a clear block that you'll need to use with all your future kits.  But other than that you should be able to just open your box, follow the simple instructions inside and create your monthly projects within about an hour - give or take some depending on your own experience with crafting.   So, since I am still not unpacked at my new house, but had to stamp - I pulled out a previous kit to work on and had so much fun - this kit made 8 cards and envelopes - 4 each of two designs.  This is the first design and my tip to you if you have this kit and have not already assembled - be extra careful with the balsa wood pieces - they are very fragile.  The kit does come with extras.  I broke one pennant and one star, so just adjusted by design so I didn't even use any of the extras yet.

Another tip - the kit gives you DSP for a full liner on your envelope - but actually, when you open an envelope you only see the top portion of the designer paper, so I cut off part of each liner and have those pieces to use on other future projects.

cut off end of DSP piece

adhere the top portion, and save cut off portion for another project

still looks great when you open the envelope - and saves on bulk and weight of project

So here is the second card design in the same kit.  I made all cards very similar to how the kit showed, but changed designs and layouts slightly.  But everything I used was still in the kit.  You can see here the strips of DSP I cut off of these envelope liners. 

Here is a close up of one of my designs - I did use a small flower punch (not included in the kit) to punch the flower from the excess liner DSP for the center of the big flower.  But you could easily make this card without that addition.

Finally - here is everything I still had left over after completing all my cards - oh, and not in the picture - the ink spot and the four crystal buttons I decided not to use on the cards as I felt they were too bulky for mailing - so will use on a future project.  How great is that!!!

I hope these pictures inspired you to take advantage of this great Paper Pumpkin kit offer, and try it for yourself.  Kits can be cards or other 3D items, and are different each month - so it's always a surprise.  We did get a SNEAK PEEK at convention and I can tell you the next two kits are amazing.  You must sign up by August 10 to get this month's kit - any sign-ups after the 10th will get the Sept. kit as their first one; and this special ends Sept. 10.  So go here - PAPERPUMPKINSITE - now and sign-up!  Then sit back and wait for the FUN to begin!!  ~Maureen

So my May kit came right before a trip to Prescott, AZ - so I brought it with me to stamp with my grandkids and it was a hit! Here I am with Paisley, Prince and Zamarah - having a stamping party!

The one glitch - I forgot my clear block for the stamp (you will receive a block with your first Paper Pumpkin kit that can be used for that and subsequent kits - just remember to bring it with you when your kit travels with you - lol).  But never fear - we put our heads together and came up with a solution.   We used the clear cover from my IPhone and it worked perfectly.  Here it is with the Happy Birthday stamp clinging to it.

And you can see Paisley checking it out before stamping below.

So - success - here are the three of them with their finished projects -

Paisley

Prince

And Zamarah with the "thumbs up" - great endorsement :)

They all did great - and Zam who is only 5 - was able to make the projects with very little help.  Just such a fun crafting experience with your kids or grandkids each month.  Reasonably priced, all inclusive - perfect for an hour or so of CREATIVE fun and every month is a surprise!  So what are you waiting for - try it now during this great special and sit back and wait for June's kit to arrive!!!  ~Maureen
