Pansy Paper Card

Hello Friends,

These cards are the ones that we did at my Customer Appreciation Event.

Thank you to everyone of you who placed an order during 2021.  I greatly appreciate you.

Those who reached a certain level in purchases were invited to attend.  I had to limit the number of invitees as my living room will only hold so many.

Enjoy the cards.  They really are cute.  If you have any questions or if I can help in any way, please call or text me at 303-888-1862.

I hope to have the January rewards cards posted within a couple of days.

Many hugs to each of you, Pat

Hello My Dear Stamping Friends,

Here are the directions and supplies used in the card packets that you earned for your $50+ orders during December.

You only have two days left to order from the June-December mini catalog.  Don’t miss out on the items that you really want.  Several items are already sold out—you’ll know when you try to put an item in your cart—a note pops up that says it’s sold out.  January is the last day to order from this catalog.

If you’d like to place an order, please use my host code:  2UAF7JD7.  If you’re placing a club order or if your order is over $150 and not a club order, don’t use my host code so that you can claim the host rewards for yourself.

Sale-a-Bration and the new January-June mini catalog both go live on Tuesday, January 4^th.  You probably recall that during Sale-a-Bration, you get choose a FREE gift from the SAB brochure for every $50 that you place in orders (before tax & shipping).   There are also two gifts that are available at the $100-order level.  Sale-a-Bration is our best, and most popular, sale of the year.

This year’s SAB joining offer is that for $99, you get to choose $125 in merchandise from the current catalogs and any two additional stamp sets.  Plus, place a party or individual order of at least $300, and receive the Calming Camellia stamp set FREE.

Our monthly stamp club needs a few members.  The commitment is only $12.50 per month and you get to be the host (in person or virtually) once during the 12 month period.  I’d love to have you join us.

Please let me know if you have questions or if I can help in any way:  303-888-1862—call or text.

Hello My Dear Stamping Friends,

Happy New Year!

This will be a quick note to show you the projects that we created at the December event.  I haven’t posted the recipes or directions.  I have some of them but not all.  If you need them, please call or text me and I’ll send you what I have.

There are just about three days left for you to order from the July-December mini catalog.  There are several items, which have already sold out and are no longer available.  January 3^rd is the very last day to place orders from this mini catalog.

The January-June mini catalog will go live on January 4^th.

If you’d like to place an order from either mini catalog or the current annual catalog, visit www.stampinlady.com, click on Shop Now, Shop Here.  Please use my host code:  2UAF7JD7, unless you’re placing a club order or unless your order is not a club order and is over $150.  If your order is over $150 and not a club order, you’ll want to claim the host benefits for yourself.

By the way, we just took the December rewards card kits to the post office today. I’ll get their supplies and directions posted as soon as possible.

Please let me know if you have any questions or if I can help in any way.  Call or text 303-888-1862.

Hello My Dear Stamping Friends,

Here are the November rewards cards.  They are all made using the Eden’s Garden Collection.

You may see the collection and the individual items by going to www.stampinlady.com and clicking on Shop Now, Shop Here.  You’ll see the collection scrolling across the top.  When you see the green wreath, click on Enter the Garden.

The ingredients & measurements are included in this post.  I have to warn you:  The Ever Eden designer paper, the Garden Gems, and the Cotton paper are all only available while supplies last.  They will not carry over into the new mini catalog or beyond.  The designer paper is absolutely gorgeous, and I don’t think you’ll want to miss out on it.  Remember you save 10% when you buy the bundle of the stamp set & the dies.

To place an order, visit www.stampinlady.com and click on Shop Now, Shop Here (as above) and then sign in and start shopping.  Please use my host code:  FQEWZZ37.  It isn’t too late to place your $50 order, which will qualify you for the Eden’s Garden collection packet of four card kits.

By the way, we haven’t yet sent out these kits—we’re running a bit late.

Thank you so much for your friendship and your orders.  I appreciate you every day.

Many hugs, Pat

Eden’s Garden 3-Panel Card

It may be a little hard for you to see the mesh ribbon, but it is gorgeous!

Assemble the three panels, and adhere them to the card base.

Lay the out as you want them before you attach them.

There are two sets of leaves that are attached below the gold piece—one Soft Succulent and one gold.  Lay them in place and adhere as shown.

Hello My Dear Stamping Friends,

Here are the August rewards cards, and I’m so sorry that they’re so late.

We took a long weekend to visit my brother and sister-in-law in Guffey, Colorado, where we had a wonderful time with lots of family members.

And, I’ve been busily working on my BOGO, which you can see by clicking on the BOGO tab.  It’s a great way to add to your collection for FREE when you make a qualifying purchase.  There are over 300 stamp sets/bundles already listed with more to come.

Please let me know if you have any questions.  303-888-1862

Many hugs, Pat

Standing Trees Card

Original by Terri Gaines

Note:  The bottom photo shows the inside of the card with the card laying on a piece of white paper.

This card look very complicated, but it’s actually easy.

I’d suggest that you lay the card together as explained below before you actually start adhering it.

The card base is not a folded base but a flat piece of Mossy Meadow card stock, which is cut to 5 ½ x 4 ¼.

Place the designer paper 1/8” from the top, centering it so that each side has approximately 1/8” of Mossy Meadow showing.

You have an 11” piece of Mossy Meadow that is a couple of inches wide.  Attach the “back” half of the folded strip to your card base, lining it up with the bottom of the card.

Attach the trees to the front of that piece.  Glue works well, but don’t add adhesive very far up on the trees or your card won’t open.

Attach the smaller strip of designer paper over the top of the trees, covering the base of the trees.

Banner one end of the small white card stock for your greeting.

The two pieces of white go on the inside of the card as shown in the second picture.

Supplies used include:

Inspired Thoughts bundle, 52
Mossy Meadow card stock, 122

Blackberry Beauty Butterfly Card (light colored)

Original by Christi Rearden Redding

This card uses one of the more neutral sheets from the beautiful Blackberry Beauty designer paper.

I love this card, but it isn’t too easy to cut the butterflies from the Be Dazzling paper.  It would also look good with foil paper for them.  When cutting the butterflies from the Be Dazzling paper, strip the backing off from the paper before cutting.

The butterflies are attached with glue dots

The line thread is wrapped around and tied into a bow as I imagine you can see.

The greeting is attached with dimensionals.
