There's A card Thursday - September 27, 2018 - Stampin' Up! Varied Vases and Delightfully Detailed Note Card


This month is Stamp a Month Club we are using Varied Vases and I also had a large order for some flowery note cards so I though why not.  I was doing a note card one for each why not also do one for you all.

I love that this set comes in a bundle and you can save 10% and it is a punch.
In the Stamp A Month Club I even showed you how to make stamping and punch a lot easier, so you don't waste paper and even use the stamparatus and make it easier.

As you know I love note cards. I use them a lot and they are so much fun to make.  This one is great using the Stamparatus I can all my 36 I need to make in less than 15 minutes.

Let's take a look. at how to do this fun card.  If you like this card and video please purchase your Stampin' Up! products from me by clicking here.

Today I want to show you a fantastic new embellishment or element in the Holiday Catalog. It is the Chicken Wire Elements and is in the Country Lane Suite and is located on page 43.

I love this and you can use it full size or cut it down.  You can sponge it, dauber it, and just swipe your stamp pad across it.  Did I say I loved it.

Check out the video and see what you think.





Product List

To see what this is like for September all orders over $50 using this months hostess code KPE2VZW I will send you a sheet of Chicken Wire.  Order here.

Another way I make my living is to hold my on-line class the Stamp a Month Club.

I would like to invite you to a great on-line class called the Stamp a Month Club Class. I want to show how versatile our stamp sets are.  That all you really need is one or maybe two stamp sets to make all the cards you need.  So every month I will pick one stamp set and then make all the cards with that set, Christmas, Birthday, Thank You and general cards.  I will do 3 - to ???  projects.  All photos will be posted in a closed Facebook group for you to see.  I will also upload written instructions for at least 3 projects. You will be able to add your own photos for that month's stamp set.  I will give out gifts and prizes.  There will be games and fun times.   We will have at least one live event a month where you will see the monthly stamp set in action.

September we are using Varied Vases stamp a  new stamp set in the 18 – 19 Annual Catalog.  We will also be using in future months Pleasant, Pheasants, Winter Woods,  Time for Tea, Country Livin, and others.


OK  the Details when you sign up the first month is $6 and then after that is $15 a month.  You can sign up here http://www.22s.com/marysstamping/106976


I would love it if you tried it out.

Stamp & Camp With Mary - Update

Not the official new Logo but a go I had for now.
Had a few little hiccups, but sale of house is a go. So on Oct 25th we will be on the road year long.
we are still in Palm Springs even though we discussed going home early thought this will be the last relaxing time for while. Though we have been doing a lot to get started.  So let's catch you up on what we have been doing this week.

We are a member of Coast to Coast Resorts - I say it is like a time share for campgrounds.
They also have a special where you can rent condos for a lot less called Hop Away Holidays.  To get the cheapest you have to be able to go in a few days to 2 weeks.  So Don wanted to get out of town while they showed the house. Kayla is in Redlands CA so why not see what they have in the area.  They had a week at the Oasis Resort in Palm Springs,  for only $399 total with tax $426.  We did this when we went to Hawaii but it was a glorified hotel which wasn't bad, this is a real what I would call resort.  Here are some photos of our condo.








They have 7 pools we have one in our back yard.  It is great, furnished nicely and only about 1 hour from Kayla.  What more can we want.  We did a few things besides visiting Kayla, such as check out a few of the Coast to Coast Resorts in the area for camping.


Once we calmed down from a big hiccup regarding the sale and realized it would go through we could start planning again. (If anyone would like a recommendation on realtors we at least know who we will not recommend.) We had scheduled a down day on Thursday so Don bought our new home.  A Jayco Feather light 24RL

 We bought it on line from Terry Town RV in Grand Rapids MI.  We had visited them when we dropped Meigan off at school and really liked Matt.  I wanted the Throwback.

But they didn't have any in stock or coming in time.   So I am sad, but I can live with the one we got.  I can carry more stuff in it.  I have a little area that I will be able to do my videos and live events.  Now we just have to figure out the internet.

I am so excited we go and pick it early October so I can see my Uncle Duff and we can spend a day with Meigan.  Really it wasn't saving $2000 in shipping costs it was getting to see Meigan that sold it.  So we really had a busy down day here.

Friday we went out to Joshua Tree National Park and did a few small hikes.  I just love that park, and really wish it was one I had worked in.  These are just a few of the sites we saw. 






I did do some stamping.  I had an order for some note cards so I brought my Stamparatus and did 40 note cards.  

All those in less than an hour.  

When We get back home late Wednesday I have to start sorting what I am going to take and what is going to get stored and what I have to sell or donate again.  Final DeStash.  I know about my inks, markers and card stock.  Now to figure out tools.   will take 1 big shot, 1 simply scored, 1 stamparatus, my envelope punch board, my trimmer and a few punches.  I will have to take scissors which I forgot on this trip and my adhesives.  What else should I take?

There's Card Thursday - September 20, 2018 - Stampin' Up! Tea Room Card

Since I am getting ready to go on my year long camping expedition and I have to use up some of my Stampin' Up! products I have been trying to use up my  Designer Series Paper and I have a few ideas to make fast quick cards using Designer Series Paper.  One is using the one sheet wonder templates I have made and another is to Just use the paper and put on a saying and maybe some bling.  This really is a fast way to use up some paper.  As Nike Says Just Do It!.  So I made a bunch of these cards using the Tea Room Designer Series Paper.

I had already had them cut in 6 x 6 for my paper share so I just cut them into 4 x 5 1/4 and stuck them on.  I used some of the Tea Room Ribbon and I had a bunch of cards.
 Lets take a look at this fast cute card.





Product List

So that was fast and Cute right?  If you like my videos please share them with your friends and leave a comment below.  You can also shop with me for all your Stampin' Up! needs.  Just click here to go to my store or on the above photos.
