Old Style Punches For Sale

Update: SOLD Punches indicated in red

I've been trying to 'change-over' my punches from the old style to the new style for the last few months. I really like the old style of punch however it is confusing for customers - and in particular, newer stampers - to see both styles. The reality is that they can only order the new style now so I think it's time to sell off my old style punches!

I began this process back when I had my Holiday Open House so some of you have already taken advantage of the offer! If you LOVE the old style punch and want to get your hands on them and/or you wish to save a bit $$ by buying the punches gently used - here's your chance!

I'm going to post 5 punches at a time, for the next week or so. As each group of punches is posted, you can reserve a punch of interest by emailing me. Once you've reserved a punch to purchase, you will have 1 full week to pay for and pick up your punch. If a week passes without payment/pick up, the punch will go back on the available-for-sale list.

Today's punches are:

Heart to Heart $22 (Savings of $7.76)

1 3/4" Scallop Circle $20 (Savings of $9.76) - SOLD

Full Heart $22 (Savings of $7.76)

1 3/4" Circle $22 (Savings of $7.76) = SOLD

1" Circle $15 (Savings of $4.82)

Thanks for stopping by today. Come back tomorrow to view more punches for sale!

Team Burns Meeting

Unfortunately, the weather was a bit nasty so no everyone was able to make it by but there's always February!

We spent time last night chatting about Valentines Day ideas, classes/clubs and of course SALE-A-BRATION (SAB for short)!

SAB is our biggest promotion of the year and it is expected to be busy, busy, busy with classes, home workshops and events! If you'd like to learn more about my team, or this promotion, please ask!

Occasions Mini - Medallion Medley Class

Occasions Mini - New Product Launch!

Simply Sent - Medallion Medley

By now, you should have received your complimentary copy of the amazing new Occasions Mini catalogue in the mail (if you're on my customer mailing list that is)!

It is so much fun getting new products and playing around with them before the catalogue launches! Did you know that that is actually a perk of being a demonstrator with Stampin' Up!? Yup, it is!

I've had a chance to play in my craft studio and WOW, did it ever feel great! As much as the holidays are fun and everything - they sure do get in the way of a girl's crafting time :o)

Anyhow, I'd like to introduce you to the new Simply Sent product launching in the Occasions Mini! It was one of the products that really caught my eye and it definitely was the product I opened up first to play with upon receiving my preorder!!

If you love cards, but you find yourself sooo busy that you can't get to making as many as you'd like .... YOU MUST INVEST IN THIS PRODUCT! Oh my goodness! It took me all of 10mins to rip open the package, take a peek at the goodies and then complete the cards! I'm not kidding you... 10mins tops!

The Simply Sent kit uses the Medallion image and the card fronts are beautiful! Did you know that the Medallion stamp was the #1 selling stamp image from 2009?? Little bit of Stampin' Up! trivia for you there!! I know many of you love, love, love this image so this kit is sure to be a hit also!!

The Simply Sent product can be found on Page 41 of the upcoming Occasions Mini. I will add the online Mini to my blog as soon as I'm allowed to (Jan 4th) or if you would like your own copy of the Mini, email me at lisaburns@rogers.com anytime!!

Here's what the kit looks like (below). You can buy just the card material or the coordinating 'Say It Simply' stamp set, or both! The card material is shown in the picture on the right and it contains 8 premade cards, a sheet of 16 self-adhesive labels and 8 Vanilla envelopes. Yes, that math is correct - you get extra labels for use on other projects!!

The picture below shows the inside of the card ... very cool! The outside card front is done in the Early Espresso color but the inside is vanilla so you don't even need to add a layer in order to stamp on the inside or write your card greeting!!

Want to learn more about this kit? Come to the Medallion Medley Class on January 27th and score these amazing cards!! Contact me for full class details!

Registration can be accepted up to January 24, 2011. Hope to see you soon!

Life is good...

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!

It's the start of a brand new year! A time to set new goals and work toward new challenges!

I can't wait to see what 2011 has in store for the Burns family!

Thanks for all your patience as I took some time away from blogging to spend time with family & friends. I hope you got to enjoy some downtime also!

These next few months will be busy! Busy getting back into the routine of school & work, busy with hockey and busy of course with my Stampin' Up! business! Our biggest promotion of the year is right around the corner so if you're familiar with SALE-A-BRATION you know that you're in for a treat!

If you haven't heard of SALE-A-BRATION (SAB for short) yet - don't worry - you will learn lots more about it over the next few weeks as I prepare for my winter class/event schedules and workshop bookings!

Have a wonderful first day of January everyone! Be back soon...promise :o)
