Convention Displays
August 31, 2008 at 4:24 pm | In Accessories- Big Shot, Accessories- Designer Series Papers, Convention 2008, Decor Elements, New Products, Projects, Stamp Sets, Stampin' Up!, Technique- Home Decor | No CommentsAs promised, here are some of the displays that were around convention this year.
The first diplay I wanted to see was the Decor Elements one. Stampin’ Up! staff was there to teach us how to apply the vinyl decorations to walls. They even let everyone try it out. I was surprised at how easy it is to put the Decor Elements up.
And these are samples of Phase 2, the next set of vinyl artwork Stampin’ Up! is releasing. These will be available to purchase on Oct 1st. The boards they are displayed on are 7′-8′ feet tall. It was nice to see them IRL, because I hadn’t realized how big some of them actually were.
Next, I headed over to the Big Shot display.
Here are some of the samples of things you can make with the Big Shot.
The patches on these baby clothes were cut out with the Big Shot!
I love these next displays! Stampin’ Up! set up four “rooms” and throughout the week, Stampin’ Up! staff decorated them. I took these photos on the last day, when they were all completed. They are decorated with Decor Elements, Big Shot images, and of course, stamps!

Introducing our New Product Line… Decor Elements!
July 1, 2008 at 11:42 am | In New Products, Stampin' Up! | 1 Comment
Stampin’ Up! is all about creativity- in all forms! We’ve been using stamps, chipboard, and other accessories to decorate our homes for a while now. With Decor Elements, we now have a new way to decorate easily and affordably- with images that match the stamp sets we love!
I can just see it! A framed piece of stamped art (like a name frame or a framed scrapbook page) on a table or dresser with coordinating images echoed on the wall behind it. Or stamped curtains beside a dresser with the matching larger images. We’ll be able to go a step farther with our creative home design.
The Decor Elements are vinyl art (they are basically huge vinyl rub-ons) and are great to use on walls, furniture, mirrors, glass, chipboard, cardstock & lots more! Plus, they are easy to remove when you’re ready for a new look.
And the best part is… they are available to order NOW!
Click on the above image to learn more about Decor Elements, download the product brochure & watch an intructional video on how to apply the vinyl images.
I love it! And this is just Phase 1! I’ll be learning about Phase 2 at the Stampin’ Up! Convention at the beginning of August. Can’t wait to see more!
(I’ll demonstrate how to apply Decor Elements at my Mystery Hostess New Catalog party on August 9th!)

I love Rub-Ons
January 22, 2008 at 3:19 pm | In Accessories- Rub-Ons, Events, New Products, Projects, Stamp Set- Baroque Motifs, Stamp Sets, Stampin' Up! | No CommentsWe had a great time at my Mystery Hostess party last Friday. Here are two of the raffle prizes. They were both made with the Eastern Elegance Rub-Ons. Rub-Ons are a new product in the Stampin’ Up! catalog. I’ve never used them before & I was surprised at how easy these are to use! And they turn out so nicely. I love how well they complement the stamp sets & designer papers.
*For those who want to try Rub-Ons, make sure that you attend one of my Sale-A-Bration workshops (Feb 1st- Mar 15th)!
Stamp Set: Baroque Motifs
Ink: Pretty in Pink, Chocolate Chip
Paper: Whisper White Cardstock
Accessories: Eastern Elegance Rub-Ons, Stampin Sponge, Tag Corner Punch, Rectangle Hand-held Punch, White 1/4″ Grosgrain Ribbon
I got this cute jar at Ikea. It was in a 2 pack for less than $3! I can always find lots of cute stuff to stamp on & decorate at Ikea!
Paper: Le Jardin Designer Series Paper
Ink: Zig-Painty Pen (for the gold trim on the lid)
Accessories: Eastern Elegance Rub-Ons
This little jar was a jam container. I just soaked it in warm water & the paper wrapper came off easily. Then I filled it with lots of long ribbon scraps!
January Valentine’s Special

My Mistake
January 14, 2008 at 8:53 am | In New Products, Specials, Stampin' Up! | No CommentsI had it in my little head that Sale-A-Bration would start on Feb 15th and last 6 weeks through the end of March. But I just realized that I was wrong! Sale-A-Bration starts February 1st and lasts a little over six weeks until March 17th (St. Patricks Day).
So book your Sale-A-Bration workshops ASAP because time is running out!

Actually, workshops through Feb 13th will be making these same projects. Starting on Feb 15th (through Mar 31st), we’ll be making projects using Sale-A-Bration stamp sets! Incorrect! Actually, Sale-A-Bration starts Feb 1st! It will last until March 17th!

I’ve been so into making my own little boxes & bags out of paper that I had almost forgotten about the good ol’ cello topper. I’m really happy with how this turned out! I think it looks very nice, and it took just minutes to create. And really inexpensive, too! This would be great to make a bunch of for Valentine’s day. You could give them to co-workers, friends, or send them to your kids’ school.
