Wine Bottle Tag Featuring Exclusive Single Stamp

Hello! Happy Monday! Can you believe Thanksgiving is this week?! Yikes - where has this year gone?

I've got a fun project to share with you featuring one of the exclusive, never-before-seen Single Stamps. Remember, for every $40 you spend on Stampin' Up! products through my website through December 31st, you'll be able to choose any one of the Single Stamps for FREE! And don't forget that the Online Extravaganza started today - so you have the opportunity to save 20-50% when you shop online!

  

This wine bottle tag is quick and easy to make, but features an eye-catching embellishment that showcases the Bold Snowflake stamp. 

This project is perfect for dressing up a bottle of wine for a hostess gift, or to take to a neighbor's house. But here's another great idea if you don't drink wine: This tag is great on a bottle of holiday-scented hand soap or lotion! Perfect for a teacher gift!

 

I do have a video for you on this project - it's not start-to-finish, but I show how I made the fun embellishment, and how to make the base of the tag. So check it out below, or over on my YouTube channel! Enjoy! 

Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Stampin'! :)

Start-to-Finish Sunday #10 - My Favorite Card Sketch Goes Christmas! :)

Hello! Happy Sunday! Can you believe I'm actually on the blog today, AND that I actually have a Start-to-Finish Sunday video for you??!? :)

Today's card is my absolute favorite go-to card sketch. It is so versatile and you can change it up for any holiday. But the reason it's so great for Christmas cards is that it's super easy - and super cheap!! - to mass produce. It comes together great in assembly line style construction. And it requires only a very minimal investment in supplies... just a few sheets of cardstock, some DSP, and one stamp set. Oh! I forgot to mention this in the video, but now it's even easier to get all the supplies you need, because the stamp set I used is available as single stamps! Sure, if you love the stamp set you can get the whole thing. But if you're not sure, or you're just starting out with cardmaking, you can get the Christmas image as a single stamp for just $5.95! Check out my website for all the materials you need.

Check out the video below, or over on YouTube! Thanks for stopping by today!

Happy Stampin'! :)

Hello! Happy almost weekend! I'm still here... and I'm so sorry I've been gone so long! I have a whole bunch of Christmas projects on deck to share with you soon. So I'm starting off today with  a sparkly and shiny winter card.

I love this card! I am so happy with how it turned out. And I love all the texture and sparkle :) This was actually my first time working with Stampin' Up! Glimmer Paper and I'm totally in love. I also made a start-to-finish video for this card. Check it out below, or over on YouTube. Enjoy!

Happy Stampin'! :)

Hello, gorgeous!

OK, OK, I know it's been the better part of a month since I've posted an actual card for you. But it's November 1st and you know what that means... an amazing new Stampin' Up! promotion! :) And believe you me, this one's a good one!

Meet Chalk Talk! Do you love!?! :) Oh my goodness this one's a beaut! I'm already obsessed! This is a brand-new stamp set from the 2013-2014 Stampin' Up! catalog that will be released in June of 2013. Not only is SU! giving us all a preview, if you join as a demonstrator between now and December 16th, you'll get this set for FREE!  And that's not all! Are you ready for this? ... ... ...

Because the Chalk Talk stamp set is still in production, when you sign up as a demonstrator, you won't get it until the Spring. But as soon as you sign up, you'll get to choose the items for your Starter Kit - pick $125 worth of merchandise for just $99! - and at that time you'll get to choose an entire collection of ink pads that will be added for FREE to your starter kit! That's 10 FREE ink pads! A $60 value! Choose between Brights (my fave!), Subtles, or Regals. So your Starter Kit will really be $185 of Stampin' Up! goodies for only $99! Um, wow!

Becoming a Stampin' Up! demonstrator is SO worth it. Get 20% off all Stampin' Up! products, and share crafting, cardmaking, and scrapbooking with new and old friends! If you have questions, or you like what I've just shared with you, email me at afkeyes@gmail.com.

A little enabling... SU! Promotions, They're awesome! :)

Happy Sunday everybody! Sorry, no Start-to-Finish Sunday today, but I do have a little PSA for you about some current - and AMAZING! - Stampin' Up! promotions. :)

OK friends, this is the BIG one! All day TOMORROW (Monday 10/29/12) almost ALL Stampin' Up! stamp sets will be 15% off! Stampin' Up! is trying to break the record for the most stamp sets sold in 24 hours. Here are the details:
- The only exclusions are hostess sets, bundled stamp sets, and digital stamp brush downloads.
- All the regular stamp sets - in both wood and clear mount! - in the 2012-2013 Main Catalog AND the 2012 Holiday Catalog will be on sale! It includes the personalized name stamps and the Sweet Pressed Cookie Stamps too! (Got any cookie swaps on your holiday calendar this year? *wink wink*)
- This offer is good between 12AM and 11:50PM (Mountain time) on Monday 10/29/12. If you're on the East Coast with me, that's 2AM on Monday until 1:50AM on Tuesday!

Now is the time to start thinking about your holiday cards! Tomorrow you can get the stamps you need at a 15% discount! The personalized stamps are great for holiday cards too - choose the one that corresponds best with your card design, then use it to stamp the backs of your cards or as the return address on your envelopes. Or maybe you have a friend who'd love nothing more than to find a stamp set or two under the Christmas tree! Those personalized stamps make great gifts too!

Here's how you can place your order tomorrow:
- Visit www.annakeyes.stampinup.net and click on the "Shop Now" button in the top right corner of the page to place your order online.
- Send an email with the items you've chosen (include item number and description please!) to afkeyes@gmail.com.
- Call me at (774) 722-2104 with the items you'd like to purchase.

Awesome Promo #2: I already told you about how Stampin' Up! is trying out a new program where they're allowing us to purchase just one or two stamp images from certain sets. They originally released the offer with 3 sentiment sets. Well, now they've added two new assortments of stamps - and some of them have never been seen before and aren't available any other way! Whoa! Check it out! (And check out my previous post to see the original 3 sets that are available as single stamps.)

AND - as if that wasn't enough! - Stay tuned tomorrow because Stampin' Up! will also be announcing their newest project kit! My favorite thing about Stampin' Up! is how easy it is to coordinate all their supplies and stamp sets, and they're making it even easier and so much fun by adding more and more kits to our crafting options. Well, this one was designed by and chosen by demonstrators and customers - How fun is that! I'm in the dark just like you, so I can't wait to see what it is! :)

If you have any questions about these promotions, please let me know! Looking forward to hearing from you tomorrow and helping you get 15% off stamp sets! :-D
