You can now leave comments

Hi all, Jim here

I have turned on the “leave a comment” option on a trial basis.  You will find the button to click on is kind of hidden at the bottom of the most recent (and subsequent) posts.

Turning the comments on can really open up a can of worms.  In the past we had comments on and got thousands (literately) of spam comments.

I have now made some significant changes in the spam blocking software and, hopefully that will keep the number of spam comments to a minimum.  I am also exploring software that will improve the comment option, but we will start with the basic approach first

The comments are moderated, which means that Pat will need to approve them before they appear below the post.

We hope that you will comment on her posts and/or ask questions.

More Boho Cards

Hi Friends,

We’re posting three more Boho cards to show you the versatility of the product medley.

 

 

The kit is shown on page 9 of the current catalog, and the item number is 153132.  The price is $70.  This kit gives you so many products and there’s a refill available, which contains all of the paper supplies that come in the kit itself.  It’s only $23, and the item number is 153925.

This month’s host code is:  WY2WHGCGPlease use it when you place an order unless you are placing your club order or unless your total is over $150.  If your order is over $150, you’ll be able to choose host benefits.  There are sets in the back of the catalogs that are bargain priced and only available to hosts or those placing qualifying orders.

When you place a $50+ order, I’ll send you a package with four card kits in it.  We have so much fun getting these card kits ready for you.  They contain all of the paper with all of the die cuts and embellishments that you’ll need to complete them.  SU doesn’t allow us to stamp them for you, but the pictures of them as well as the supplies needed are always posted on my blog.  You’ll need a stamp set, ink, adhesives, etc.

I’d love for you to subscribe to my blog.  All you need to do is fill in your email address and hit submit.

Please let me know if there’s anything I can help you with.  You may call or text me at 303-888-1862 or call me at 303-674-6435.

I appreciate you every day. Thank you so much, Pat

My Television Adventure

I want to tell you about my television adventure.

Being at Stampin’ Up! demonstrator has led me to so many opportunities.  This is just one of the roads I’ve taken.  I’ve gotten to make so many true friends and travel to so many places.

Over the past six or eight months, my friends (customers, members of my Stampin’ Up! team, family members) and I have been sending cards to residents of assisted living facilities and to others who could use a smile.

One of the local television stations in Denver has been featuring a Weekly Warrior—someone who has contributed kindness during this Covid pandemic.  A few months ago, daughter Lisa nominated me, because all of the cards we’ve all been sending to assisted living facilities and others who could use a boost.

Natasha Verma of Denver’s 9News contacted Lisa and said that she’d love to feature me as a Warrior. Each and every one our family members got on a Zoom call and everybody knew what was going on except for me—they surprised me with the news.  Of course, I cried.

Natasha wanted pictures of cards, a video of me stamping, and she wanted to interview Jim & me.  That was a little scary.  It was about a month or so into Covid-19 and I badly needed a haircut.  Daughters Kelly & Judy started trying to find someone who would cut my hair the next day, without my having to be exposed.  They were successful and I got a haircut the day before Natasha was going to do a Zoom call with us (The Zoom call was at 8:00 a.m.—can you imagine?).

I was really nervous until the morning of the call and for some crazy reason, I was calm.  It turned out to be fun; you can barely hear Jim in the interview, but he’s telling her how excited the recipients are.  You could probably hear him better if I weren’t taking up the entire screen. <grin>.

Anyway, if you’d like to see video, here is the link (click here)

If you’d like to send cards, please let me know and I’ll send you the current list.  It only has 10 or 12 names on it now, and the recipients and their families are so thrilled to receive the cards.  There aren’t any rules for the cards; they can be handmade or purchased.

Please subscribe to my blog and invite your friends to join us.

I’d love to hear from you.  You may respond to my email, call or text me at 303-888-1862, or call me at 303-674-6435.

Many hugs to each of you, Pat

Here are the details for making the July incentive cards.

World of Good Map Card

Original by Anna Helman

This one is really quick and easy.
Stamp the greeting. I stamped the base of the globe first and then the world using Night of Navy ink.

The Brass foil has been run through the Big Shot using the Old World Paper embossing folder.  (It’s so beautiful.)

I used dimensionals under the Cinnamon Cider die piece. Assemble as shown and add the
blue Holiday Rhinestones.

The second piece of map paper is for the flap.

Blossoms in Bloom (greeting), 51

World of Good Crumb Cake Card

Original by Jane Proffitt

This is another easy one. Everything is ready for you to assemble.

The Mossy Meadow card stock has been run through the Big Shot using the Old World Paper embossing folder.

The World cut outs are very fun and unique: the base and world itself are cut from Early

There are dimensionals under the small layer of Early Espresso and under the white circle
which high lights the world.

Add the Gilded Gems.

Forever Greenery Hoop Card

Attach the one inch piece of designer paper to card base, leaving about an 1/8” from the edge, and then attach the peacock/pear piece, leaving a 1/8” space on the other side of the card as shown.

Glue the larger piece of peacock greenery first. Stamp the greeting on the white circle add it using snail.

Using three glue dots, fold them in half over the bottom of the hoop so that you can attach the greenery and gold. Also add a tiny bit of glue to the hoop to help hold the greenery on.

Jar of Flowers Sunflower Card

 This card took a little more time than I thought it would.  The flowers are fussy cut.  If you don’t have this stamp set, I’m sure you can find some flowers to use.  I colored the image with Blends before I cut it out.

We included two unstamped, punched jars for you.  You can use them in any way you want.

The jar stamps in Jar of Flowers are reversible. I stamped the tall jar on white card stock and then stamped the water by using the opposite side of the stamp.  I used Balmy Blue and stamped it off for the water.  Full strength was too dark.

The top layer on the card base was embossed with the Subtle embossing folder and attached with snail.

There are dimensionals under the sunflower piece.

I added three champagne gems, which are in your card kit.

Jar of Flowers Magenta Card

This card is so easy and so beautiful.

The designer series paper pieces may be confusing.  The largest one is for the flap, the next smaller size is for the front of the card and the smallest one is for the inside—I attached it to the outside edge of the white piece inside.

The flower oval is cut from the Flowers for Every Season designer paper package.  We were able to get three flower ovals from each sheet.  There are four sheets of each paper in the package.

The Just Jade strip is also from the same dsp package.

The Magenta piece on top of the card base is embossed using the Dainty Diamonds embossing folder.

The gems are inside your card kit so be careful as you pull things out.

There are dimensionals under the white oval and also under the greeting. The greeting is punched using the Timeless Label punch.

The envelope flowers are colored using the Blends.  Be sure to put something inside the envelope as you color with the Blends as they can bleed through.

Catalog/Paper Shares Updated With Pictures

Hello Again My Dear Stamping Friends,

This is an update to the catalog/paper share post of a few days ago.  At the time we could not include pictures from the inside of the new catalog.  This update now includes the catalog pictures.

I finally have the catalog/paper shares figured out.   I drove poor Jim to drink as I confused myself and asked him to help me figure it out. He had to have a little scotch.

The details of the shares are listed below.

These are all beautiful and some include ribbon and embellishments.  You’ll have a great sampling of most of the papers, ribbons, and embellishments. There are 11 shares:  10 of them are $10 each, and the one with 143 6 x 6 pieces of paper is $50. If you purchase all 11 shares, I’ll send you a set of the new In Color markers (value $17.24 value).  I’ll post pictures of the suites on Wednesday when Stampin’ Up! allows it.  I’ve also given you the catalog page numbers.

If you purchase at least $50 of these shares, you’ll qualify for the 4-card package that I’ve been sending out each month.  This month we’ll feature By the Dock & the Jar of Flowers bundles.  I’ll post pictures, on my blog, of this month’s cards as soon as they’re created.

The deadline for you to let me know that you want to purchase shares is Sunday, June 7, 2020.  I’ll get them out to you as soon as possible after that.  If there are back orders, we can talk and decide what to do about them.

If you want to use your credit card, I’ll need to use it when I place the order.

You won’t be able to use this purchase for your club order; I’m sorry, but there’s no way that I can make it work.

You’ll be so excited to receive these shares—they will help you decide which ones that you want to purchase individual packages of.

The paper shares are retail plus tax plus shipping.  No other costs are added.

If you have any questions, please let me know: call or text—303-888-1862 or call—303-674-6435.

I hope that stamping during our covid stay-at-home time makes your day more enjoyable, and that you’re sending cards to your family and friends to make their days better.  Think of the enjoyment they’re getting when they open their mail.

I appreciate you every day; thank you so much, Pat
