Open House Highlights

The month of June is always a little nutty, but I wanted to share some Open House highlights with you.  I run my event as a BOGO, so there are some pretty happy people leaving my home on that day.

First off, if you are a club member (which simply means you belong to a group that meets once a month all year long), you get early VIP access. These ladies get to shop the retired product room in the morning. Isn’t that incentive enough to sign up for a club?! :)

My husband spoiled everyone once again with yummy treats from the kitchen. This year was Vietnamese iced coffees and homemade doughnuts!
Doughnuts 1A labor of love, and oh so worth it!
Doughnuts 2Everyone who came received a little thank you gift…a Daisy Flower Packet.
Daisy Flower Packet 1And after they shopped, they went downstairs to the Stampin’ Room to make 2 cards. This first one features the new Happy Birthday Thinlit and the coordinating Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set. The new Adhesive Sheets makes adhering this detailed greeting a breeze.
Happy Birthday Gorgeous 1This second one uses the new Colorful Seasons bundle. Don’t you just LOVE that chair?!
Colorful Seasons 4To create the circle background, I took a piece of very thin paper (photocopy paper works well) and die-cut a circle out of the middle. I placed it onto my cardstock piece and stamped the Watercolor Wash Background over the circular opening. When I removed the template, it created this beautiful backdrop for the chair. I think I’ll be making a few of these this summer.

We had an awesome day!

We are about 3 weeks into the new catalogue right now. If you have do not have a copy yet and would like one, please email me and I’d be happy to send you one.

If you are placing an order by Thursday, please use the June Hostess Code at checkout: 3G4Y7TZG

The next round of clubs is starting in August and September. We would love to have you join us! Please let me know if you are interested.

Happy Monday everyone.

Enjoy Today

We had stamp club last night, and one of the cards they made was this fun fold idea using some of the new product from the Eastern Palace Suite. The greeting simply says enjoy today. This would be a great pick me up card for a friend…or it could be a birthday card, congratulations card, or anything really. It covers many occasions. (Thank you Lorna!)
Eastern Palace 2 I love the bright color combination of Lemon Lime Twist and Dapper Denim, don’t you? When it opens up, it looks like this.
Eastern Palace 3This card is super easy to make. The Dapper Denim card base is 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″. Then there is a bottom piece 2-1/4″ x 8-1/2″ (scored at 4-1/4″) that is just adhered on top of the card base. The top DSP piece measures 3″ x 4″ and the 2 smaller pieces each measure 2″ x 4″.

The Layering Circle Framelits actually coordinate so well with this suite. You can diecut the medallion and then cut it out using the largest circle from the Layering Circle Framelits. It is adhered onto a same size Dapper Denim circle using dimensionals. And then of course the Lemon Lime Twist flowers in the middle really make this card pop. It was a favorite last night!
