First, don't miss out on anything SU! has retiring. Email me if you need the list. As my personal special during December, I'm offering 10% OFF your ENTIRE order, retiring or otherwise. So treat yourself or give a hint to that someone special and I'll help you out. Gift Certificates are available too - you know there's going to be lots of great new stuff in the upcoming catalog!
Second, my next Stamp Camp will be Friday, January 11th. Santa will be bringing me new sets! I've decided to do the double card thing again, so we'll be making 6 cards - 2 each of 3 different designs and a little 3D item for $12. RSVP with fee by 1/4/08!
Third, Did you see my counter? It passed the 5,000 mark so it's time for some Blog Candy! Just leave me a comment letting me know a fun tradition or activity you do during the holidays. Even a great gift idea would be good - I'm stuck for something else for my mom! I'll pick a random winner on the 20th and hopefully get it mailed out before we leave for NC. What is it, you ask? Well, I've got some goodies hanging around. I'll gather them up and try and post a pic by tomorrow.
Last, but certainly not least - a fabulous tip! You know how I love punches, well here's another way to use the Scallop Punch. This is from Dannie Graves, who discovered that you can get a starburst sort of effect by punching once in the Scallop punch, then attaching that to a piece of larger regular scrap paper (cardstock is too heavy) and then lining the punched scallops in the middle of the scallop punch and punching again.
(Remove scrap) Here's a sample using an image from In the Spotlight punched out with the 1 1/4" circle punch. Isn't that great?!
Another card with A Beautiful Thing stamp set. This time in Orchid Opulence and white. I wish I knew how to photograph these better so you can see what I did with my new toy - I mean tool - the Scor Pal. Yes, Mom came through and got me one. I can't wait to use it more, it's pretty cool. I used it to score my card in half and then to make quilt like grid marks on the top panel. I stamped off twice for the flower and cut it out so I could back it with the 1 1/4" circle and put a little Fire Circle Rhinestone brad in the center. Sentiment is from Sincere Salutations. Hope you like it.
