Addicted to Jewels!

Two more card samples made using the Holly Jolly Rub Ons! Holiday cards really come together easily with these colorful rub ons and for someone that might not have a lot of stamp set or ink colors, it really is a wonderful option to increase your Holiday card options!

If you enlarge the photo of the cards, you'll see that I embellished once again using the jewels - this time, the Pearl Jewels! I just can't get enough of these quick little accents AND they are super affordable at just $6.50 per package.

Check 'em out:

Holly Jolly Joy!

Here's another card made last weekend! I used the colors of Cherry Cobbler, and Old Olive together with the Holly Jolly Rub Ons, the Decorative Label (still on backorder) punch and some bling (aka Rhinestone Jewels)! I'm seriously addicted to both of the jewel options in the catalogue!!

Here's a picture of the Holly Jolly Rub Ons:

Hope you enjoyed today's post - I'll be back tomorrow with more fun samples using these Rub Ons!!

Something Different to Share!

Last weekend, my friend and team member Rebecca came over to make some cards and chat! When we decided to get together, we didn't actually plan what to work on... she just mentioned that she was going to bring a few things over to work on, so I planned to do the same but we never really mentioned 'what' we'd be working on!

When Rebecca walked into my craft studio, she noticed my Holly Jolly rub ons on my craft table and started laughing... apparently that was the product she too wanted to break out and start creating with!

We spent a couple of hours making cards - one of which is posted today! I'll share the rest in some upcoming posts.

Have a great Friday everyone! Thanks for stopping by!

You guessed it... more Contempo Christmas!

Last Contempo Christmas sample for the week ... promise!! Starting tomorrow I will switch to something else ...I have LOTs to share with you so you can expect near-daily posts from me for awhile (wow you're saying...I know)!!

Anyhow, this IS a card that we'll be making at my December 11th Holiday Fundraiser! It's one of 5 different styles of cards and you get to make 3 of each style so that 15 Holiday Cards with envelopes ready to go well before Christmas Day!!

Plus, great social company, food, prizes and Holiday ambiance AND proceeds go to a local kids group - what more could a stamper ask for?

Contempo Christmas Bundle!

More Contempo Christmas Bundle samples! While these are not cards that will be made at my Holiday Fundraiser coming up - they will be on display as a way to show guests many different ways to use the stamp set they're receiving in their event kit!

I can't tell you how easy this bundle has been work with! Cards, boxes & bags and even scrapbook pages have been coming together quite nicely just using this bundle and a few embellishments!

The samples shown today use Rhinestone Jewels, some punches and some of Clear Tinsel showcased in the current Holiday Mini!

Have a great Wednesday everyone!

These are 2 of my favorite card samples that will be made at my upcoming Holiday Fundraiser on December 11th!

Congratulations & Welcome!

Welcome to the Stampin' Up! family AND to Team Burns to the following lovely ladies...

Julie E
Lisa V
Michelle R

I'm so excited to have each of you as part of this team! Let me know when you get your kits - it will be much like Christmas around your house - lol!!

There's still plenty of time to take advantage of the 50% off Starter Kit and since I know a number of you are considering it as an option for you - here are some common questions I have been getting to help you with your decision making!

Question: Does this mean I'm a demonstrator?
Answer: Essentially it does as the Starter Kit triggers a demonstrator number and this is a good thing! The demo number is going to give you access to the Demo Only Website, an ongoing discount, access to demo only events etc. Having a demo number doesn't mean you have to sell! In fact, a good percentage of my team are hobbyists and enjoy the demo status simply for the personal perks! Whether you want the Starter Kit for personal use or to begin your journey of opportunity as a business, the kit is a SIMPLY AMAZING DEAL !!

Question: If I don't sell, do I need to give the kit back or pay a penalty of some kind?
Answer: Absolultely NOT ! The $107.50 Starter Kit is yours to keep without any obligation to sell the product thereafter, or host parties/workshops or events. You can get the kit and walk away without any committment!

Question: Once I sign up, can I sell the kit to some friends or family?
Answer: Absolutely YES! Once you're signed up, you can offer the kit to anyone you want as long as they are not currently an active demonstrator. I can help you with options around this as the Starter Kit sale is time-sensitive so we'll want to act quickly!

If you have more questions, send them along to me and I will ensure you have answers within 24hrs! Or, another option for local girls, come out to my Kit Craze meeting this coming Saturday November 20th from 6-8pm and get all of your questions addressed!

Have a super night everyone!!
