More Spinner Cards

Here are a couple more Spinner Cards I designed. Spinner cards can be make one of two ways. The easiest way is to use the Stampin' Up! Word Window Punch to make the slot for the image to slide in. The other is to use a ruler, pencil, 1/2" Circle Punch and trimmer or scissors to cut the slot. Can you guess which one was made with the Word Windo Punch and which one was done with the ruler, pencil and 1/2" Circle Punch?

If you guessed the second one, with the pinwheel spinner you are correct.
The spinner card works great either way you make it. I believe the key is that you use two layers of Stampin' Dimensionals to layer the top layer.
Thanks for looking!

World Card Making Day & Christmas Stamp-A-Stack

This coming Saturday, October 3, 2009 is World Card Making Day. In honor of this I will be offering anyone who can not attend my Christmas Card Stamp-A-Stack on Saturday, October 24th the opportunity to pay the $10 and I will make the cards for you. You will also then be entitled to have one chance to win the $20 Gift Certificate. You will also be able to place an order and receive FREE Shipping and then be entitled to a second chance to win the Gift Certificate. Orders and money MUST BE TO ME BY OCTOBER 24th. NO EXCEPTIONS.

For those who do actually, physically, attend the Stamp-A-Stack there will be several give-a-ways that only those who are present will be eligible for. Since I am offering people the opportunity to pay for me to make them the cards and be eligible for a chance to win the $20 Gift Certificate for those who are actually present I will be giving you an additional ticket besides the one you receive for paying the $10 for being in attendance. Also, I will have Retired Stamp Sets, Accessories, Paper Packs and individual Papers for sale and you will receive a ticket for the Gift Certificate drawing for each Retired Item you purchase (excluding individual papers). You will also receive an additional ticket if you place an order that day, which you will receive FREE shipping on. So, if you are physically in attendance you could have anywhere from a minimum of 2 to 4 or more changes to win the Gift Certificate.

For those who are interested in this offer or attending the Christmas Card Stamp-A-Stack on Saturday, October 24th please contact me at hustedde@msn.com and I will send you the Registration Form which is due to me by October 10th.

All orders placed for the FREE Shipping on Saturday October 24th will be delivered to my home and I will then distribute them to you. Also, the orders are subject to tax on the shipping cost. So the orders will be totaled as normal and then the shipping amount (which is 10% of your order) will be deducted from the total. If you have any questions, please let me know.

I hope you are able to attend the Stamp-A-Stack but if not I am putting this offer out in honor of World Card Making Day!

Happy Stamping!

Gift Tags

This past Monday evening I attended the South Jersey Stampers Club meeting at the Mays Landing Library. We meet one Monday a month. If you like you can make a card with the theme for the month to swap. Then each month one of us takes turns demonstrating a technique or project to the group. This month was Mary Jo. She has been one of my Stampin' Up! customers for several years and is VERY talented. Here are the two Gift Pop-up Gift Tags she showed us how to make. One was made by making a square to pop-up the design, the other was done by making two cuts in the paper at the fold to make the design pop-up. The first one we brought our own card stock, stamps and ink for and designed ourselves. The second one she brought the card stock and had the inside stamped for us and the pop-up design cut out for us. We did the stamping on the outside for ourselves.

Gift Card #2



GREAT JOB Mary Jo!

HI!!!!!!!!!!

I know it's been a long time since I have posted and I apologize for that. It was a busy August for me and now that summer is almost over I am getting back to getting organized. The end of July I went to Ocean City Maryland with my mom, daughter and one of her friends to visit my cousin Jenn and her family that live in Ohio. We spent a couple days there and had a wonderful visit.

I went to Simply Cropping for my 20th scrapbooking getaway with them in August. It was wonderful. If you are looking for a scrapbooking getaway check them out at http://www.simplycropping.com/.

I then spent a couple weeks re-organizing my craft room. It is finally done and now I can get busy stamping and scraping. Here are pictures.
My next project is to get my Retired Sales blog updated. That will be in the next couple days, so look for that. I will post here when it's updated.
Have a great day!
Donna
