EASY PEASY UPRIGHT CALENDAR

Image
Hello, Stampers!      I found the template for these quick and easy calendars* on a YouTube replay of one of Barb Stamps' (Barb Mullikin') FB Live episodes.  I used a different sentiment, simplified it a little, and you can certainly pick whatever colors you want.  I'll set out measurements and instructions below, but you can find Barb's video under "Facebook Live Replay - Desk Calendar, ..."  Sorry, the copied link wouldn't work. *I ordered my Mini Calendars from Taylored Expressions - they are min.10 for $3, but, unfortunately, the s/h costs more than the calendars.  If you need quite a few, I doubt you would have to pay more shipping.  If you order soon, you'll have them in plenty of time to use for Christmas.         I will list products I used below. Happy Stampin’! Sue Duffy ~ mandsduffy@comcast.net Measurements Calendar easel:  3-3/4" x 10" and 3-3/4" x 5" Mat for DSP:  3-1/2" x 4-3/4"

STAMPIN' UP! ONLINE EXTRAVAGANZA! THREE 2-DAY SALES EVENTS NOV 23-28

Image
Hi, Stampers!       Online Extravaganza will run for six days. During this time,SU! will be throwing three, 48-hour sales featuring a selection of products from the 2018–2019 annual catalog—all at  10% off.   Each 48-hour sale will feature two product categories (set out below). When one sale ends, the next sale begins; this cycle will continue until Online Extravaganza is over.       Bundles are not included, as they are already discounted. Paper Pumpkin subscriptions are not included, Big Shot & Stamparatus are not included, and certain other individual items are not included.  If you would like me to email a complete list of exclusions to you, just let me know.      If you would like to see the full selection of discounted items during each 48-hour sale, please visit my online store  at the beginning of each two-day sale. Each sale will be given its own category, which will contain all available discounted items for that particular 48-hour sale. After that, the only thing

PAINTED GLASS IRIS - FRESHLY MADE SKETCHES Challenge #363

Image
Hi, Stampers!      Above is my submission for FMS Challenge #363.  Here is the template.  Read on.      I've been wanting to make something with the pretty irises in the Graceful Glass Vellum paper stack and, since the panel is long and narrow, this sketch fit the bill.  My irises panel is full card length, but I think that will still be acceptable.  Then, what to use for the accent strip.  I looked through all of my current DSP and found this "marble" pattern in the Petal Promenade DSP - perfect - stained glass and marble.     The only other adjustment I made to the sketch is that I trimmed my card front at 3-1/4" and added the DSP strip to the exposed inside of the card.  Not sure if you can tell that from the photo.

LOW INVENTORY SU! HOLIDAY CATALOG PRODUCTS

Hi, Stampers -     SU! has experienced IT communication difficulties with it's new inventory control program (if you've ever worked with a PC, you know how that  goes) and has advised us that the following Holiday Catalog products are in short supply and could very well run out sometime next week!  So, if you are thinking of ordering for holiday cards, etc. that include any of these products, you would be wise to do it now.  E.g., the above Festive Farmhouse Framelits (part of a bundle) are on the list and will not be carried over, I'm sad to say.
