Night Before Christmas Suite By Stampin' Up!

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house

not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care. 

In hopes that Stampin' Up! demonstrators would be ready for the holidays everywhere!

Photography photo boards, what are they?

Have you ever went to Walmart or to a photographer to have photos taken? I am sure we all have, especially for special occasions. You sit down then they pull down some type of backdrop behind you to help your photo look appealing. If you think about it, if someone passes around photos that has only a white or black background you will more than likely be "that's nice," but when you pass around a photo with some kind of background you will take that extra few seconds to say "wow that turned it really nice, you look so pretty in that photo."
It goes the same for displaying your cards. I have noticed if a photo has no background color of some sort, that I seem to skim by unless something on the card pops out at me, but when I see a card like in the Stampin' Up! catalog I will stop and say " now that is a nice card, wonder what all was used to make it." They use photo boards. Photo boards for some could be costly but you can use anything to create your background. You could use a piece of tile from flooring, a picture from your wall, a towel. Just anything to create interest for your photo.

Here are some examples of photo's without and with a photo background.

Here is a card with only a white background or is it white. Yes I took the picture on a white background but it sort of looks gray. That is one of the downfalls of using white only. Your camera does not see all white, it also sees grays. So this kind of dulls the card. If I was looking at this in an email or online, I might look past it. The only thing that caught my eye is the copper snowflake.

What caught your eye on this picture?

Now this is the same card but on a wall hanging I found at Walmart and used it to be my photo board. See how the photo pops. I first see the stamp pad and then I follow along over to the twine and then I look at this stunning card! I then continue on to see what other elements are on the board to end with the die cut image. I am saying to myself "Oh, I like that rustic look, and where did they get the buffalo check at?" so now I am going to see what else they have to show about the card.

To receive the tutorial on this card, place an order with with me for any amount and I will email it to you as a Thank You gift.

About to reach new title of Silver!

WooHoo! I am only $1800.00 away of reaching the Silver status! If you are new to Stampin' Up! or even have heard about Stampin' Up! you will find that the demonstrators receive certain things for reaching a new title.

 

When you first join Stampin' Up! you are automatically at the Bronze level with a regular commission of 20%. The next level is Bronze Elite, where you receive an increase in your commission to 25% after reaching $1800.00 in sales.  At Silver, you receive a lovely silver necklace (or a silver money clip, your choice) after $3600.00 in sales and 1 new demonstrator ; and it goes up from there all the way to Platinum Elite.

 

So I have a deal for you! I need one recruit and at least 12 customers to place an order 0f 150.00 or more AND you will receive the "I Want It All" deal from the new Holiday Catalog for helping me reach my goal. Not sure what that is?

Here is what you will get:

54 sheets of DSP (6x6), 11 Yard of new ribbon/trim and 63 embellishments!

That is a $40.00 value free and you will also get 10% in Stampin Rewards to spend also.

This deal is only good until the goal of $1800.00 is reached after that no deal!

But wait...There is more. The person who gets me to the $1800.00 and the person who joins my team will also get a FREE Stamp Set from the Holiday Catalog from ME!

You will choose from these sets:

 

Season Like Christmas

Feeling of Christmas

Santa's Suit

Christmas Happiness

Brightly Lit Christmas

Smitten Mittens

Hug in a Mug

Merry Café

Painted Harvest

Spooky Cat

 

 

 

So grab a pen and paper, download the catalogs ( both on the sidebar) and start shopping, call your friends to call their friends and a friend of a friend and well your get the point.

 Have fun and get this deal while it lasts!

 

I will monitor daily to see who gets me there and if you want to be sure I know you have placed an order...email me at:

 

donnaschnees2008@embarqmail.com

 

and put in the subject line "SILVER" or "RECRUIT"

 

 

 

 

 



Autumn/Fall the season of fireworks and bonfires...

 digging out your scarves to feel the crisp cool breezes, the scents of apple and pumpkin pies, hot apple cider to drink by the fire. Friday night football games. To play hide and seek in the leaves (we played ghost in the graveyard). Run through the leaf piles, hayrides, cooking pies and eating marshmallows over the fire, making smore's, telling ghost stories, oh the days of being a kid.

 

That is okay though now being an adult can be fun to especially with Stampin' Up!

 

If you are like me you have been checking out all the other demonstrators emails and blogs to see what they have created with the Holiday catalog. Wow! There is some very inspiring demonstrators out there and I hope I am one of them that you look forward to receiving an email from.

I LOVE the Coffee Café bundle. I have made several cards with it. I did not realize they would come out with one for the Holiday's called the Merry Café.

 

So before I know this I created some Holiday cards with the Coffee Café.

 

 

Here is what I created with the Merry Café for fall.

 

 From left to right front to back, the first one is an easel post it note/calendar card and I used "Hello Fall Its pumpkin spice latte season," I die cut 3 of the Perk Up cups, the second one is a matchbook post it note and I used the Apple Cider stamp. The back one is a gate fold card with a belly band and I used the Wood Words stamp " Thanks a bunch" and the next one is a note pad and I die cut a perk up cup, a gold mini cup and used the "Par-Tea! in a cup stamp. 

 Here they all are opened up. The card inside I stamped Apple Cider and from Wood Words I used " A note for you" , the circle (also on the belly band) from wood words and stamped Farmers Market. I then cut a crate with the framlit adhered it and added an apple keychain. This would be excellent for a teacher!
