Butterflies: Live Laugh Love

0

Last weekend I was at the Stampin’ Up! On Stage Event in San Diego and besides having a blast with my crafting friends, I met an extraordinary woman named Doris Martin.  A Holocaust Survivor, she beat the odds in life! Let me tell you, she was something else and I’ll never forget her.  She signed my book and as I hugged her she held me tightly and said in my ear, “Sweetie, with Peace & Love you have everything.  So live life, laugh always, and give away your love.”  Her words put tears in my eyes and I just had to share this with you.  I just started to read her book, Kiss Every STEP and I have to say, “I can’t put it down!”  You can get one yourself on Amazon.

Having visited Dachau in Germany years ago and remembering what I saw at the museum came flooding back as if it was just yesterday.  The weird thing was that I made the card a few weeks ago before ever meeting her and I found it lovely that she used the words on the card when I hugged her.  I think I’m just going to have to send her the card.  Be Blessed and Be Thankful!  Keep on Living, Laughing, and Loving!

The Details:

  • Simplicity is in the details.  Punch, Adhere, Stamp & Emboss and BOOM you’re done!  The particular Designer Series Paper on my card is no longer available, but don’t let that stop you!  Use your favorite or whatever you have on hand.
  • Butterfly punches are retiring.  Yes, they are being retired in May and they’re only available while supplies last.  So you may want to grab them now before they’re gone for good.  With a bone folder give the butterfly wings a little curl inward to give them the in-flight 3D look.
  • Embossing powder.  Use whichever color your heart desires.  The black one I used is retired by us, but you can get more colors here.

Use Host Code above and receive a gift from me when you place an on-line order via my on-line store.  Do not use if your order is more than $150. You will receive additional Host Reward and you’ll automatically receive a gift from me, but please never check out as a visitor.  I won’t receive your information and will not be able to send your gift. 

FREE SHIPPING?  You can do this each time a new seasonal catalog is introduced.  You’ll NEVER ever have to make any sales and you just let your membership expire.  Three ways steps:  

  1. Join as a hobby demonstrator when you want to place an order that equals $99.
  2. Stampin’ Up! will literally GIVE YOU an additional $26 in product…WHATEVER you want for only $99.
  3. …and most important! FREE shipping.

There’s no risk, no obligation to purchase anything further and no penalty to drop!  Why not give Stampin’ Up! and my Circle of Pals a test drive and start building your $99 Starter Kit here.

Kind Regards,
Maggie

Mother's Day and Blendabilities

Mother's Day and Blendabilities

My 2014-2015 Catalog pre-order arrived earlier this week and I told myself I wouldn’t post anything until you too are able to order the awesome new product on June 1st. But I just couldn’t resist showing you a sneak peek.

Coloring in the Blended Blooms with the Blendabilities alcohol based markers have become an obsession.  If I didn’t have to go to bed for work… I would’ve stayed up until the wee hours coloring.  You do NOT need to have coloring talent, the markers do ALL the work for you!

Live in the local area:  (Solano, Napa, Sacramento, Yolo Counties, Contra Costa Counties)

I teach Basic Card Making every Saturday from 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. and am open to schedule a class or workshop Monday – Friday after 5:30 p.m. Contact me today to set up a fun class/workshop with products from the new catalog.  Click here to contact me today to schedule your class today.

New Catalogs: My preferred customers will automatically receive one before June 1st.  If you do not have demonstrator and would like to receive the new annual catalog, please click  here.

Stampin’ Up! a King for a Day

0

In chess the King is only as good as his Queen… LoL.  You can check out the previous Queen card post here.  The stamp set is from the You Rule Spring Collection, which will debut tomorrow!  Yes, you are going to love it just as much as I do!  The other stamps say… Princess and You Rule!  I think it is my favorite… for now.

The card was made for my brother Reyes.  It’s Spanish for King, so this stamp is perfect for his birthday.  He was born on January 6th, which is the Three Kings Day also known as Epiphany or the 12th day of Christmas.  To many it marks the arrival of the magi (three kings) who were bearing gifts for baby Jesus.  That is why I don’t take down my Christmas decorations until January 6h… LoL… well, that and because it’s my all time FAVORITE holiday.

I’m not worried about my brother seeing his card before his birthday, since he doesn’t visit my blog… LoL.  But his wife does and she’s already seen the card… =)

Stampin’ Up! a Queen for a Day

1

Every little girl deserves to be a Princess, but when she grows up she must become a Queen, even if for just one day.  Stampin’ Up! makes that possible with their You Rule stamp set that will be bestowed to the world on January 3, 2013.  The Print Poetry Designer Series Paper Stack (129312) makes it possible for smashing designs in a fun pad of paper.  You can use it for card fronts, mounting photos, anything your Queen or King desires.

A very small 1 inch peek-a-boo of Tea for Two Designer Series Paper adds a ray of sunshine to the Primrose Petals colored daisies.

You will soon see that it is a MUST have.  Reserve your sampler pack today!  [wp_cart:2013 Spring Catalog Paper Share:price:20.00:end][show_wp_shopping_cart]

With the exchange from a Tiara to a Crown, so does the upgrade in rhinestones.  The Spring Catalog debuts a Large Rhinestone Basic Jewel (129324) fit for a Queen.  Show it off and “Shine Bright Like a Diamond!”

Hugs & Inspiration,
Maggie

Enjoy this beautiful Sunday and give hugs and kisses and give a heartfelt “thank you” to that lady you call “mom.”  I salute you ama.  I am who I am because of how you raised me.  I was blessed to have been sent to you as a gift from Heaven.  I love you with all my heart Gumersinda Mata.

Gosh, I feel ashamed, I haven’t made a get well card in so long that I can’t even remember when I made one.  I suppose that’s a good thing right… no one has been ill enough to get one… =)  I also figured that since our new catalog will be coming out soon, and the retired list has posted, I want to make as many cards with my remaining retiring supplies.  You can get a great deal on the retiring stuff now while supplies last too!
