Ep. #598 ~ ***FREE*** Kits With Purchase From ME!

Happy Gobble, Gobble Day Crafty Friends,

I hope today finds each and everyone of you surrounded by those you enjoy and that many new memories are made...

We are not hosting the 30 + family members that we have done for the past 3 years since moving back to Chicago and I am so looking forward to spending a calm and quiet day feasting with our immediate family. Even better - we have friends stopping by later for dessert and board games - perfect!

Here is a glimpse of the monthly kits that I offer to qualifying orders and how they come and what you can expect. I don't make you buy certain stamp set and dies, you just simply need to purchase $40 (before tax and shipping) through my Stampin' Up! online store and use the monthly Hostess Code. That's it - get products that you love and will use!

I am truely thankful for all of your friendships and loyalty, thank you again...

Holiday Hugs,

Ep.#579 ~ Christmas in July *Coffee Cafe Gift Card Holder/Card!*

Hi there Crafty Friends,

Hold the phone folks - this is a SUPER cute idea for sending a unique card or adding a gift card as well! I love how this turned out and those little coffee cups are just precious ... The holidays are right around the corner so why not start pacing yourself so you can have plenty of beautiful handmade gift ready and you can relax and enjoy all the festivities and merriment of the season. Get a head start and save yourself the headache, not to mention with it being soooooo hot outside, it's a great excuse to stay indoors and keep cool while crafting.

I have been playing some Christmas c.d.'s too while I am creating and it really helps put me in the mood!

Thanks for stopping by, I am so glad that you did...

Big Hugs,

Ep.#577 ~ Merry Christmas Card | "At Home With You" BY Stampin' Up!

Ho! Ho! Ho! Crafty Friends,

We are just a little less than six months until Christmas and all the festivites will be in full swing, gosh - the time always flies when the 4th of July is over... I am using the fantastic stamp set "At Home With You" from Stampin' Up! in todays tutorial. I have been using it a lot lately and I love how versitile this set is. I had this idea rolling around in my head and thought that the ribbon stamp from this set would make a really cute country star! Well what do you know - it did, lol!!!

I am really happy with the simple, rustic feel of this card - just lovely.

I hope this challenges you to try to think outside of the box so to speak. Try using your stamps in different ways, it's fun to see what you can come with.

Please share YOUR projects with everyone over on my Facebook page: The Happy Stamper

I would love to see all the fun ideas you come up with! Make sure to like my page and share your cool tips and tricks with all of us.

Epi. #535 ~ Post-It-Note Christmas Gift Using Stampin' Up!

Hi there Happy Stampers,

A request was made on how to make these super quick and easy Post-It-Note Covers, they make excellent little gifts for anyone on your holiday list!

I found this on Splitcoast Stampers but I was not able to find the persons name anywhere on the written instructions. There are lots of different crafters who share this same idea and how to do them. I am sure you will find many more on Pinterest too...

The little pens I added to the gift bag came from the Dollar Spot at Target. Don't forget to add some chocolate too, that always a sure bet for anyone!

I hope everyone is staying warm, we are in an artic freeze here in Chicago, I have been praying SO hard for all those who are homeless and also the furry animals that live outdoors. When I brush our fluffy Golden Retriever, I have been putting her fur in the bushes so the birds and other animals can add it to their nests and homes to help them stay warm. My mom used to do that when I was growing up, we are BIG animal lovers so anything to help them.

Please consider making a food donation to your local church or outreach programs, so many go without and it just shouldn't be that way.

Warm Hugs,
