FINAL PUSH - Let's help each other

Hi all - I just have to say - my Stampin' Up! customers are the best.  Thank you to everyone that has participated in my BIG PROMOTION to earn the trip to Alaska so far.  I am still about $2,000 in sales short - so any help would be greatly appreciated!  But I am working hard - and so trying to make this happen.  I'm offering the BIGGEST PROMOTION I have ever offered - so don't miss out!  If you want all the details drop me an email at crazystampinglady@gmail.com

I also want to thank all of you who came to my Open House last Saturday - it was wonderful seeing you all and thank you for your support!  I'll probably be having another Open House next May when the Annual Catalog is ending.  

I wanted to remind you I will be out of state from 9/16 through 10/6 so won't be having any events till after that. I am attending a reunion and memorial for my brother who recently passed away.  So being gone is making it extra tough to reach this goal - but I know with your help I can do it.  (Don't forget - if I get the trip - we ALL celebrate!)*   I'll be finalizing my calendar of October events soon - and get that list out to everyone!  For those with orders coming in - I still have family here who will put the orders together for your pick-up!  Or I can arrange delivery when I'm back.

Thank you again for all you do, and all you mean to me!

*Celebration event will be for all those who purchased from me October 2016 - September 2017.  The more you purchase - the more you'll celebrate :)

August Paper Pumpkin Cards

Look at these cards - aren't they FUN!!  This is the August Paper Pumpkin kit (well a small portion of it - there is so much more in the kit).  I did adapt a bit (not my own idea - someone mentioned it on facebook) - I cut the striped card bases in half and that gave me enough layers to make 8 card on a white base.  Also when I cut them down to be a layer it left that tiny strip that I used as an accent under the sentiment.

They words are already cut out - so all I did was stamp the confetti dots and sentiments (all in the stamp set that is included) added the banner and the sequins (also included).

Since I was giving these cards as a gift and I think she will probably mail the cards, I stamped regular envelopes to match so they will go through the postal machines.

But the kit actually comes with these adorable colored envelopes that close with a twine tie.  I'll be sure to find something fun to use them for in the future.

Hope to finish the rest of the kit soon and I'll be sure to share.  But don't forget this sneak peek of the September kit - 

You'll get to make six of these adorable Halloween treat bags.  If you sign up by September 10th - you 'll get your first two months at half price!!  Go to mypaperpumpkin.com sign-up and be sure to choose me as your demonstrator - then sit back and wait for the FUN to arrive in your mailbox.  ~Maureen

Photopolymer - what the heck :)

New Photopolymer by Stampin' Up!

Stampin' Up! is excited to announce that we now have wood-mount, clear-mount AND photopolymer stamps!  The new photopolymer will be an addition to our stamp line and will appeal to all types of stampers.  Our top-quality photopolymer has just enough give to create a perfectly stamped image every time and with the introduction of our firm-foam pads, let's just say they're meant for each other!  Photopolymer stamps will also be unique, fun designs that will inspire you and provide more versatile options you may not see in our traditional wood- and clear-mount stamp options.

What makes them so great?

• They're entirely transparent for perfect placement every time! 

• They are durable. The photopolymer material is designed to last. 

• Can you say sticky? (Don't worry; in a good way.) These stamps stick amazingly well to our clear blocks.

• They're age tested. They won't yellow or cloud up over time. 

• They use FDA, food-safe material. How far can you stretch your stamping creativity? 

• We could go on, but we'll let you try them for yourself.

Designer Typeset Photopolymer Stamp Set Item 132956, Price: $13.95

Use this exclusive photopolymer alphabet set (with extras!) for titles or embellishments on scrapbook pages, cards, or any type of project. We recommend clear block sizes A, B, G, F, and I (not included in the set).  NOTE: this set can go away at any time - so if you want it - ORDER NOW!!  Let me know if you're interested.
The Fine Print

• Photopolymer stamps will be offered on a trial basis. Based on popularity, we hope to release more photopolymer stamp sets over the coming months. At this time we don't plan on offering a line of photopolymer sets as expansive as our wood-mount and clear-mount lines.

• Available beginning March 1, 2013. 

• Not available in wood-mount or clear-mount.  

• All photopolymer will be packaged in cello bag w/insert, but don't forget you can store them in our clear cases.
