March 26, 2012 By Karen Leave a Comment

This week its Thrifty Thursday Card Making Day in Minnesota! Do you consider yourself a thrifty stamper (or do you see that as a conflict in terms)? When someone looks at a sample card in my basket and asks me how much it would cost to make that card, I always say "Well, the first card you make might cost about $…..but, just think, the second card will cut that cost in half and so on….." Its all about how much we use our stamping stuff!

I want to share this fun day with you this Thursday if you live in Minnesota. During Sale a Bration I have done many classes as well as in-home parties and I have lots of already prepared Stampin' Up! card making supplies left over. So …I'm inviting you to come over and make four cards for only $5, and you can stay as long as you like and make as many more cards as you want to for only $1 per card. This is a great opportunity to stock up on cards for your personal use or to make some to give as gifts!

You get to choose the cards you make from my left over Sale a bration supplies. When those supplies are gone, that card option is gone.

card making supplies If you don't live in Minnesota – place a $50 Sale a bration order this week and I will mail you five sample cards!!!! Remember, 2012 Sale a Bration ends this Saturday on March 31, so time is running out!

A Real Hybrid Card Making Idea!

February 15, 2012 By Karen Leave a Comment

Usually when I talk about hybrid cards, I am referring to cards that combine My Digital Studio Downloads with hand stamping or embellishments like ribbons and brads. Today's card is different. Check out a real hybrid card making idea!

Tim has been home for a few days recovering from hernia surgery, and Jan Kitchen, a friend whom I met first as a customer, brought over dinner with this card for him:

Jan combined a Stampin' Up! stamp from the Smarty Pants stamp set with a picture she cut out from an old calendar. Doesn't that make a great unique card? If you like this saying, you will enjoy all of the sayings as well in the Smarty Pants stamp set on p. 164. (#115070 $18.95)

Tim was really touched that she would care enough about him to bring a meal……..but then she told him it was really for me, because, as she wrote on the inside on the card "Tim, We don't want Karen going hungry. You need to heal quickly! Love, Jan" (She knows Tim does all of the cooking around here!)

Tim is always serving coffee and anything else he can find to the women who come to my home for classes. Sometimes he even serves dinner to them. He runs any errands we need, and cleans up after us…..so everyone gets to know him well!

I know how fortunate I am to be married to someone who supports me in my business and enjoys being a part of it! I do reward him, you know, by taking him on a all expenses paid vacation each year that I earn through Stampin' Up! (Ask me about that! I would love to have you join us!)

If you know Tim, please share this article with your friends! I hope you enjoyed today's sample, a real hybrid card making idea!
