Happy Craftin'...

Sorry I haven't been posting... I have been creating and crafting. I have crocheted, made cards, made 3x3 cards and a gift box, made homemade stew and more.

I will post pics of my latest 2 cards here. I tried the cool new 'embossing' trick that everyone is trying out. Makes it look like pressed flowers or something. :) I like the final look! Quick and easy too! (Just waiting for my BIG SHOT to come in, so I can play with it officially instead of my 'old' Sissix die machine.)

Be blessed and happy Cre8ting!

HAPPY MARCH -- National Craft Month!!

So I figured I would try to 'CRAFT' something at least once a day for the month of March -- whether it be a Stampin' Up project, crocheting or what... so here is a quick card I made while watching BIGGEST LOSER!

The flower stamps are from 'PRINTED PETALS' (Stampin' Up!) and the sentiment stamp is from 'THREE LITTLE WORDS' (Stampin' Up). The cardstock, patterned paper and ink is all Stampin' Up too! A mix of greens and a neutral - Wild Wasabi, Old Olive and River Rock (and Basic Black for the sentiment). The ribbon is River Rock, and the patterned paper is Old Olive.

Special Technique -- Tissue paper flowers. Punch a bunch of tissue paper flowers with SU punch, and then use paper piercing tool to poke a hole in the middle. Attach a small brad, and then fluff up each layer. Using either your re-inkers, or just rubbing it against your ink pad (as I did here) adds just a hint of colouring to the edges. Super cute I think. We made tissue flowers with my Preschool class for their frames! (I will post pics of those later.)

Hope you like it -- quick and easy.

Now... back to BIGGEST LOSER!! :)

Happy Stamping!

'SHOEBOX SWAP' Fun & Upline Meeting

I attended my first Stampin' Up! Upline meeting with Heather Summers... she's amazing! My upline Annie P invited me to come, and I'm glad I went. It was such fun participating in a 'shoebox swap', where you make a card, and then cut out the pieces for 5 more (5 demonstrators will get to make one in the allotted time). I chose to make an easel card, because I've seen them and never made one before. I figured by now they all had made one, as what's newer to me, isn't so new to those that have been there for years.

The picture collage above was made in Picasa, and I'm not sure if you can read the printing, but the cards on the left are the ones I made at the swap. The black one is actually in the current 2010-2011 Idea Book & Catalogue. Since I don't have alot of the 'current' stamp sets or DSP, my Mom and I made the same design of card with stamp sets and patterned paper that we had. (some not Stampin' Up)

I can't wait until the next meeting... such fun! THANKS AGAIN Heather and your Simply Stars team! Glad to be a part of it!

Is it Christmas???

IT'S HERE!!!

Finally, my Stampin' Up! Starter Kit has arrived at my home!!

Here's my BOX...

THANK YOU STAMPIN' UP! I am so excited to start using my NEW stuff... along with all my old stuff. So I did a re-count today of my SU stamp sets (inc. the 3 new ones from my kit) and I have almost 200 sets. (not including all of the 'partial sets' that I have) C-R-A-Z-Y eh?? But oh so much fun... now on to the organizing of retired stamps. Then to plan for my INTRODUCTORY Open House and Class/Workshop!! Super excited about SALE-A-BRATION and the OCCASIONS MINI.

E-mail me at cre8tewithmitz@gmail.com for more info on becoming a HOSTESSS/HOST, a DEMONSTRATOR or just to unleash your creativity!!

It's SALE-a-BRATION time!

'SALE-A-BRATE GOOD TIMES, C'MON!'

Let's all 'SALE-A-BRATE' and have a good time! Sale-a-bration means FREE STUFF! Who doesn't love FREE??

Between January 25th and the end of March, you can earn free Stampin' Up! merchandise for every $60 (CAD) [$50 (USD)] you order. Which means it is an amazing time to host/hostess a workshop.  Not only do you and your friends receive the free merchandise on your orders, you can earn one extra Sale-a-Bration product for every $395 in workshop sales.  I don't know about you, but when I think of getting friends together to stamp, we could put together a $395 order in no time!

What else is good about Sale-a-Bration?  It is a great time to become a demonstrator like ME!  The Stampin' Up! Starter Kit is 15% off and comes with an extra bundle of merchandise up to $60.  Plus you get Sale-a-bration items with your Starter Kit order!  Then when you put in your first demonstrator order within 45 days of signing up, you get 15% off of that order.  Plus more Sale-a-bration merchandise.

Wow! I just signed up to be a demonstrator this month just before Sale-a-Bration and know that I am going to be amazed at all the free merchandise I will be receiving. SALE-A-BRATION is a great event, whether you want to be a host/hostess, a demonstrator, or just to unleash your creativity! It will be a GREAT way to get a good start on my business, so here I am today, wanting to share this great opportunity with you.
So here is what you need to do

• Get your SALE-A-BRATION wish list ready and place your order ASAP.  In the past, some items have been so popular that they were back-ordered.  If you don't yet have the Sale-a-bration catalog, click the link on my main page (or here) to download and check it out. (You don't need to save to your computer, just click Open) -- You can also still order from the 2010-2011 Idea Book and Catty, and the Occasions Mini, and of course the Definitely Decorative Catty. All links are on my home page, but can also be seen by clicking the appropriate catalogue above. HAVE FUN!

• Get on the phone and find 3 to 5 (or more) people to join you in a Stampin' Up! workshop. (Remember we have to get to at least $395 in sales, before taxes) -- If you can't get that many, (some can place their order without coming) but please let me know, and I can add some guests or sales to your order possibly. We will have some make-n-take's, goodies and fun with your friends! Plus you will get hostess benefits! :)

• Email me at cre8tewithmitz@gmail.com for further info or to learn more about becoming a Stampin' Up! Hostess or Demonstrator.

Now get ready to party, Sale-a-bration style!

WELCOME to my NEW SU Blog site!

Hi everyone! Thanks for checking out my *NEW* site. For those of you that don't know me well, I love using my creativity in any way that I can. I have loved stamping, card-making, papercrafting, scrapbooking (& basically crafts of all kinds) for many years. I was introduced to Stampin' Up quite a few years ago at a workshop held at one of my Mom's friends. It was a fun and unique experience. Anyway... making a long story short, I have attended many Stampin' Up workshops and demonstrator classes and Stamp Camps (for lack of a better name right now), and have more than 100 SU Stamp Sets (some individuals as well). My mom was a Stampin' Up Demonstrator for a while, so I enjoyed getting a discount, but then she gave it up a few years ago. Through Stampin' Up, I have enjoyed learning new tricks and techniques that I have also used in my occupation as a Registered Early Childhood Educator. What child doesn't love making a mess with art?

So, I was talking to my husband, and of course God... and of course tidying my 'craft area' at home... and there was a 'GREAT' deal on SU Demonstrator Starter Kits in November 2010, and my demonstrator friend called me to encourage me to join, because there wasn't a better offer ever. I thought about it, but looked at my 'mess' and decided it wasn't the time, but maybe God would bless me with something better if I waited. So... because I am a woman of faith, I waited and the opportunity again presented itself in a 'WOW better than ever offer' this month! I couldn't pass it up! (Thanks again Anne!) So, here I am a brand new Stampin' Up Independent Demonstrator! {PS I'm still tidying my craft zone... and probably will be for a while, now that I'm a Demo. LOL!}

Being a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator is so rewarding. Not only do I get to be creative every day, I also get to be a creative coach, offering fresh project ideas and encouragement to my customers and friends.

For me, using my giftings, talent and creativity in helping someone create that perfect project for a special occasion is one of the best feeling in the entire world. After all, creating cards, scrapbook pages, gift items, home decor, and other unique papercraft items are about more than just stamps and ink—it’s about sharing a part of yourself with the people you love.
