August Stamp Shoppe

Here they are - the sneak peek pics for the next Stamp Shoppe!  There's lots of stamp sets that we've never used before and accessories/tools that you'll be able to try.  That's one of my favorite things about Stamp Shoppe - the chance for you to try before you buy!  I feel like these special classes give you the confidence to get creative and understand how to use what you purchase.

NEW in 2012 For The Stamp Shoppe!

Friday, January 13th from 5:30-9:30pm

-or-

Saturday, January 14th from 9am-12pm

 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm so stinkin' excited to share with you the new changes to the Stamp Shoppe format that I've been mentioning...
or (perhaps) teasing you with!

This weekend is the kick-off to our 2012 Stamp Shoppe year. 
We're keeping with the awesome Stamp Shoppe format
(as it works beautifully for all stampers; beginners & experts!)
yet we've added some terrific features to enhance your experience.

1. We're opening ONE HOUR EARLIER on Friday Nights, starting at 5:30 pm! Don't worry — you're still able to arrive at 6:30 or later if that's what you're used to.  In fact, we're hoping some of you still stick to your normal arrival time. But for those of you who are able and want to get an earlier start on the evening, we invite you to do so! The extra hour is to help spread out arrivals to keep things comfortable for everyone as our numbers increase. 
2. Our Display Table of the Month is being replaced with TWO, 10-minute product demos during each session! Rather than just browsing projects, you'll get to watch how to make a couple of them, and you'll also learn how to use some products that haven't been incorporated in Shoppe projects! We encourage you to still bring your camera so you can bring the ideas home with you to duplicate.
3. One of the enhancements I'm MOST excited about is the ALL NEW "First Timer's Room"! Anyone who is attending Shoppe for the first time* will get to make a bonus project, learn some basics and receive a "Getting Started Guide" to go along with a "Simple Stamping" display!
   
   If you are the person bringing a new friend, you'll still get to make DOUBLE the cards for bringing a new stamper**, so be sure to invite and bring a friend in the New Year and you'll both have a wonderful "extra" treat!

Gentle Reminder:  Bring your Stampin' Up! SNAIL adhesive  and dimensionals with you.  I will provise everything else that you need.  If you forget or don't have adhesive, I will have a limited supply at Shoppe for purchase.

Location: 1000 Winton Road North.  Rochester, NY 14609. Please park behind the church.

Please note:
*The pass to the "First Timer's Room" is given on the first full-price class you attend. If you are attending Stamp Shoppe on a Coupon or Free Class Pass, you'll be able to participate in the "First Timer's Room" the next time you visit.
**"Double Cards" for referrals are given when your guest is paying full price for the class and not valid if she's using a Coupon or Free Class Pass. "Double Cards" are only given for referring a friend who has never stamped with us before.

 

Make (6) cards for $15 or FREE with a $20 order at Shoppe
and/or

Make (3) 12 x12 scrapbook pages for $20 or FREE with a $25 order at Shoppe

Holiday Gift Bags & Boxes

I really dig this little packaging idea for 2 reasons...
#1: It's super cute! 
#2: It's easy to use scraps of your favorite card parts & pieces to create the packaging.

Did you know...The pretty circle 'doily' on the gift bag comes from the Flirtatious Designer Series Paper.  This particular designer paper comes with a variety of fun, brightly colored options.  Two of the designs are die-cut doilies in Melon Mambo (as shown below) and Pumpkin Pie.  Turn the colored side over for the same pretty die-cuts in white and you can create something like the above picture.



We'll be using these sweet white doilies at the Gifts and Goodies Class A. Sign up today to make the three featured projects below!

Make these 3 projects for only $8 or Free with a $15 order st Shoppe. Class A includes a Wine Bottle Tag and Bow, a Decorated Box with ribbon & tag and a Stocking Gift Card Holder (or use it for candy canes or any other small trinkets!).
Psst: My daughter Anna will be receiving this sweet stocking with 3 Bath & Body Lip Glosses!

What's on your holiday wish list?

Print this pretty little wish list out and give it to your family and friends.  Your peeps can email or call me and I'll take care of the rest to make holiday shopping easy for everyone!


FYI:  I also offer gift certificates that may be used towards Stampin' Up! products and/or Stamp Shoppe and Creative Tuesday payments!!

December Stamp Shoppe Card Preview

Here's a special card preview for the upcoming December Stamp Shoppe

I'm really excited about this little ditty! Here's why...

1.) We'll be using the new PeekaBoo Frames Die that is featured in the Holiday Mini.  When this card is completed, you'll be able to flip the little snowman flap up to reveal a sweet seasonal sentiment!

2.) The colors of the card are fun, bright and happy! You'll be able to give this card for any number of reasons.

3.) The plaid Designer Series Paper from the Domestic Goddess Suite is just plain 'ole fun & shows a great way to use the patterned paper.

Simply Said... Merry Christmas

Today's Idea of the Day is taken straight from the November Stamp Shoppe cards! 

Simple, classy and absolutely beautiful... There are a few things going on in the design, yet completely compliment one another.  When seeing this card in person, you can't help but want to take a moment to touch all of the textures!

You can make this card along with 5 other 'holiday inspired' designs this weekend at Stamp Shoppe.
Click here for a sneak peek at all of the designs & addt'l Shoppe info. 

Supply List for Today's Idea of the Day Card:
Card Stock: Very Vanilla
Stamp Sets: Easy Events & Hand Penned Holidays
Ink: Jet Black Stazon Ink
Stampin' Write Markers: Old Olive & Real Red
Sassy Accessories: Big Shot, Snow Burst Embossing Folder, Basic Pearls & Very Vanilla Velvet Ribbon

Creative Note:  The Velvet Ribbon is incredible.  The texture is perfect and the ribbon ties beautifully; it isn't bulky or cumbersome.

Design Tip:  If you need to adhere the velvet ribbon to a card or project, I recommend using a mini glue dot or sticky strip.  The ribbon has just enough fibers on the back that the SNAIL adhesive just isn't quite strong enough.  The other two options will work better for you.

To order any of the above items, please visit my online store by clicking right here!

See ya later... Friends 24-7 & Newsprint Designer Series Paper

Awww shucks... this little bird is getting ready to fly the coop!  Yup that's right.  The 24-7 Stamp Set and the Newsprint Designer Paper have hit the 'Last Chance List'. 

This is one of my favorite cards from a previous Stamp Shoppe.  It was so very easy to make and the colors are neutral yet have some visual impact.  Three stamps (out of the set of six) were used from the Friends 24-7 set. Take a closer look at what's retiring below... you'll want to grab these before they're GONE FOREVER!



Retiree #1: Friends 24-7 Stamp Set
(wood mount only 113218)





Retiree #2 Newsprint Designer Series Paper(#117166) 12 double sided sheets for $9.95



To order either of these retiring items before they're gone for good, visit my online store today.  Please remember to make sure you have me, Amy Rist, tagged as your demonstrator so that you see (and receive) the lowest prices possible!

Love the color combos on this card?  Me Too!  Marina Mist, Crumb Cake, Basic Black and Very Vanilla are the winners. 

Stamping Tip to achieve the center look in this featured card above. Stamp lightest to darkest. 

1. Stamp the A to Z image (#115711) in crumb cake directly onto the Very Vanilla Card Stock.
2. Stamp the Flourish image from the Friend 24-7 set in Marina Mist (centered on top of the A to Z)
3. Stamp the Bird image from Friends 24-7 in Basic Black on top of the Flourish. 
4. Sit back and smile at what you created!  Remember, if you don't love the outcome of your stamping, simply flip your card stock over for another try.
