  • Summer Time Fun Time–Keeping Busy with Fun Stamping Events

    During the school year, I spend a lot of time with my stamping business online.  But with the kids home and summer in full swing, I’ve been spending more time away from my computer and out and about.  But that doesn’t mean all stamping has stopped!  I just have fallen behind on some of my sharing… but whooo boy!  There are some exciting things to share coming up!  From fun events, product sneak peeks, and more!  I thought I’d hop back online and share what I’ve been up to and what exciting things are coming soon!

    Northwest Stamp & Share Regional Demonstrator Event

    Are you a demonstrator or thinking of becoming one?  If you didn’t know, I LOVE being a Stampin’ Up demonstrator and in fact am celebrating just hitting my 8 year anniversary on the 26th!  One of my favorite things to do is get together with other demonstrators and share and learn from each other.  I’m so excited for this new event for Stampin’ Up demonstrators in the Pacific Northwest!  Join us as we share the excitement of the NEW Holiday Catalog.  Get project ideas, participate in swapping, learn from other demonstrators, and have lots of fun!  This is our very own unofficial regional event and you are sure to go away inspired.

    This has been the big event I’ve been focused on this summer and I can’t wait to see it all come together next month!

    Get the scoop and register to join us!

  • More Fun and Cute Gifts from the Northwest Crafty Escape Weekend!

    More Fun and Cute Gifts from the Northwest Crafty Escape Weekend!

    I’m back today to share the little table gift for the last day of the Northwest Crafty Escape Weekend.

    These are super fun purses made with the Gift Bag Punch Board following a great design by Brenda Quintana aka QBee

    Tips for making this purse:

    • I picked the ribbons for the handles and then chose my cardstock for the base of the purse to match!  Love that Stampin’ Up makes it so easy to match!
    • Use your Fast Fuse to hold your purse together and make sure it won’t pop open with goodies inside.
    • Make a cutie tag to go with using the sentiment from the Watercolor Wings stamp set and it punches out perfectly with the Note Tag punch!
    • Cut your paper to cover the back of your purse and front flap by cutting it at 3 1/8 x 4 1/8″.
    • I used candy dot brad bases and the 1/4″ punch to make the closure.  It is a tight fit but it totally works!

    The purses I made use the new Stitched Satin ribbons in the pretty new colors (I followed Brenda’s ideas and used Melon Mambo, Pacific Point, and Crumb Cake).  And of course the patterns from the lovely Pretty Petals designer paper.  Front and back even!

    And have to have some fun treats inside!

    It was another fun day at the Northwest Crafty Escape Weekend yesterday too!  We made lots and lots of messes, and the tables were piled to overflowing so you know it was a good day!

    And in the afternoon, some folks had signed up to do my Sprinkles of Life Class…

    So everyone got their kit and we had a table with all the supplies for folks to share.
