Stamping With Kristen

Leadership Day One

Last night I was so excied about being a part of The Extreme Home Makeover that I did not blog on yesterday!  It was a great day with many new ideas, and more freebies! 

We got a new stamp set that I can not show you under the large pearl basic jewels, a Sale-A-Bration My Digital Studio CD, rhinestones and pearls, Pool Party ribbon, and extra Occasion Mini Catalogs and Sale-A-Bration brochures.  We also received a free set last night at Manager's reception that I can not sho yet either because it has not been released.

Here is a picture of Shelli and I, Stampin Up's co-founder and CEO.

 

Look at these adorable Build A Bear cards using the Big Shot Dies!

Looking forward to today!

Happy Birthday Banner

Kim Vale made me this great banner and brought a cake to my demonstrator meeting last Sunday.  I thought the banner was so cute and have it hanging in my house right now!

Here is a close up.  She used the Big shot to make it.  The Big Shot sure comes in handy!  My workshops have totally changed since I got it!

The Pawsitively Prints paper from our Build-A-Bear line of products is perfect for so many projects.  It is not just for kids:)

Magnetic Build-A-Bear

I saw this last month at a demonstrator event, and could not wait to make one myself!  They would make a great gift!  

I used magnetic sheets on the Big Shot.  I used magnetic sheets that have a peeled back sticky side to make it easy for me.  I then created some outfits using Pawsitively Prints Designer Series Paper.  It is a great way to use the scraps!

This is the outside of the tin.  It is decorated so the bear can be outside.

The case makes it a great toy for the car or airplane.

We have many great Build-A-Bear products.  Let me know if you would like to order them!

Build-A-Bear Stampin Up Style

I mentioned before that Stampin Up has now partnered with Build-A-Bear.  Below are some fun samples using our new products.

This card uses our new Pawsitively Prints Designer Series Paper and corduroy buttons.  They are a fun embellishment.  We sell them in Chocolate Chip, Kraft, Pumpkin Pie, Summer Sun, and Basic Gray.  

This card has a simple front using the same Pawsitively Prints Paper pack.  

Here is the inside.  I punched using the word window punch once on each side to make a pop up card.  I used chalk to color the bear in.

Here is the side view to show how it folds out.

Come back again to see more samples!

New Holiday Mini Catalog

You are going to just LOVE the new mini catalog.  There is something for everyone!  If you have not received one, and would like one, please let me know.  I had a little trouble with the mailing.  One new line that I am very excited about is Build A Bear!  That is right, Stampin Up had partnered with Build-A-Bear to make some adorable stamps, paper, and dies for the Big Shot!  At convention this year demonstrators had the opportunity to buy a Stampin Up Build A Bear.  My friends Wendy and Cheryl picked one up for me.

Did you notice all the detail?  A Stampin Up Apron, Stampin Up on the foot, a cute tag, and a stamp on her arm!

Here is a close up of the stamp.  Pretty cute!

Since I am able to pre-order, we used the Build-A-Bear stamp set at my Stamp a Stack for our bonus project.  We made this fun birthday card.

 

I used 12X12 Card stock so we could make a pocket to hold crayons so the child receiving the card could color it.
