COLOR YOUR SEASON PROMOTION

Hello Everyone,


Color Your Seasons Promotion by Stampin' Up!


Just wanted to give you my thoughts on this new promotion by Stampin' Up!
For the month of August you have the opportunity to purchase the Blended Seasons Stamp Set,
Stitched Seasons Framelits Dies, or Watercolor Pencils in 10 new colorsYou can bundle the stamp and die set for a 10% savings!  These products will be available for the month of August or until they are gone!  The water color set may be available in future publications.  
When I first looked at the promotion I thought that the stamp set would be a great starter set for new stampers.  It has great elements in it for all seasons and some basic sayings.  I wasn't sure that it would be something I would use.  I have a lot of seasonal stamps!  I immediately loved the die set because of the layering stitched framelits!  

So, I ordered the bundle and the watercolor pencils in and have been playing with them.  These are some of the samples I made.


 I have to say I love both the stamp set and the die set.  This is an awesome bundle!  The stamps are very versatile and will work for all seasons and special occasions, and I really love the die set!  The layering stitched framelits are amazing!  They produce the stitched effect on both the positive and negative images!


If you are interested in purchasing this set contact me right away.  Once the stamp and die set are gone they are gone!!
Clear Mount Bundle #149894 $64.75
Wood Mount Bundle #149893 $77.25
Water Pencils #149014 $12.50



Buying the bundle also qualifies for the Bonus Days Promotion! 
Spend $50 in August and receive $5 coupon to use in September!

Be Blessed, Mary Ann

Stampaway Convention 2018!

Great Time at Stampaway Convention!


Stampaway started on Thursday when Bill & I went for classes.  I loved the Stampscapes & NorthWoods classes!

On Saturday we had 8 excited crafters!  Our "Society of Creative Crafters" t shirts were a big hit!  We arrived early and spent the entire day shopping, learning new techniques, doing "make and take" projects (Sarah's specialty), and of course spending money!😂
My "Make & Takes" for the day!

And of course, many new things to play with when I got home & some great new ideas for future classes!

Already looking forward to next year!
Almost forgot one - this is all the free stuff I got there today! I even won a bag full of stamps from the Northwoods booth! Yay!
