Only a few days left.....

Hi Friends! There are only a few days left to order fun supplies and products from the Holiday Mini Catalog! The last day to order is Monday, January 4, 2010! You can always order On-Line from my website 24/7 by clicking here! Or you can email me and I'll gladly place the order for you and have it shipped right to your door!
There will be a few products carrying over to the next mini catalog including the Simply Adorned jewelry, My Digital Studio and the Build-a-Bear stamp set and accessories! The launch of the Simply Adorned line was delayed just a bit since Stampin' Up! loves to spoil us with only the highest quality craft making materials! These great products will be available January 5th! The Build-a-Bear line was a total HIT! Stampers loved this line and with coordinating stamp sets AND dies - the possibilites are truly endless! I LOVE products that coordinate - it's my favorite!

Happy Stamping!
Hugs,
Kari

Featured Stamper: My Downline Melissa

My friend and downline, Melissa Mattox, a Senior Associate from Vancouver, WA made this cute card for a swap we had at a BZB demonstrator meeting! I love the color combination of: Summer Sun, Whisper White, Old Olive, and Basic Gray! The assortment of circles in the Circle Circus set makes for stamping the center very stylish and sophisticated!

Of course I'd love to have YOU join my Stampin' Essentials team! Stampin' Up! is the best company to work with and take amazing care of their demonstrators! I've been a Stampin' Up! demonstrator since February of 2004. I signed up during Sale-a-Bration of course to earn more FREE stamps! I initially just wanted a discount on everything in the catalog, but now I love having a business opportunity with great benefits! Including free stamps, but along the way I've made wonderful friends including members of my downline, upline, sidelines, customers and fellowing stampers on and offline! I'm so excited about the new Clear Mount stamps that will be available January 5, 2010. It's just one of the many ways Stampin' Up! listens and responds to the needs of their demonstrators and customers! I'd love to share my love of stamping with you either in a home workshop, class or having you a part of my growing downline! For more information on becoming a SU demo, please click here! To watch a brief informational video, please click here! If you've been thinking about becoming demonstrator for awhile and are read to sign up, you can do that from my website by clicking here, and the password is: signupwithkarilinder

It's a Stretch....thank you!

This card reminds that Easter will be here before we know it! Hehe! I'm having a great time relaxing and hanging out with my family! It's very cold up here, but there is no snow yet, but it's very cold! We've been making cookies, apple cake, apple sauce, and all sorts of gluten-free goodies! My parent's have several apple trees in their front yard, so my mom looks forward to finding 'new' desserts and goodies to try to use up all the apples! It's fun! We watched 'State of Play' this afternoon and finished Season 5 of '24'. Hopefully tomorrow we'll catch the Seahawks game and I'll have time to brainstorm some card layouts for upcoming challenges! I'm looking forward to getting back into my regular crafting routine! Hope you're having a wonderful Saturday!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Merry Christmas! The big day is here and I'm celebrating up at my parent's house in Anacortes, WA. The presents are opened and the rice pudding is almost gone and we're just listening to Christmas music and calling the family in Alaska and California! My sister is on her way and should be here any minute - so I thought I had time to post a cute thank you card! I love sending Thank You notes after the holidays! There is so much to be thankful for and so many people to thank! So here's a sweet little card to help you get started on your notes! The color combination of Tempting Turquoise and Real Red is quite rich and pretty! Seems that red looks great with almost any color! The Circle Circus stamp set on page 129 is the star of the show! This Two-Step Stampin' set is a beautiful set of 10 stamps that coordinate perfectly with all of Stampin' Up!'s circle punches!

Stampin' Up! Thoroughly Modern Happy Birthday!

The Bitty Birthday stamp set on page 68 of the Idea Book & Catalog is pretty cute! I can't believe it's only $12.95! What a deal! What's even better than that is you can earn it for FREE starting January 5, 2010 during Stampin' Up!'s Sale-A-Bration promotion! Instead of having {6} items to choose from with every $50 purchase, Stampin' Up! has given us the option to choose additional stamp sets in the Idea Book & Catalog to get for free in addition to the fabulous items in the SAB brochure! More details to come in later posts, but this will certainly be one of the best SAB's EVER! I've seen both the new Occasions Mini Catalog and the SAB brochure and both are incredible! Of course I want EVERYTHING in both of them! My birthday is in January, so stay tuned for exciting offers from me to you, my wonderful blog readers and customers!
Today's card was made by a very talented, fellow member of the BZB demonstrator group, Paulette Fryar! She's a very crafty girl and I love all her cards and projects!
The card base is cut from Bermuda Bay card stock, then embossed using the Big Shot Die-Cut machine and the Texturz Plates Kit #4 (featured below)...... Texturz Plates measure 8" x 5-7/8" and create subtle patterns and designs on card stock, giving your project a delicate embossed background. The Kit #4 comes in a set of {3} double-sided plates - which is 6 unique and exciting embossed options. Tip: You'll want to use these with the Impressions Pad, and the Silicone Rubber Pad (sold individually).
This cute line art set is perfect for stamping in Basic Black or Basic Gray ink and using markers to color in whichever colors you want! The gift bag on today's card was colored in with the Bermuda Bay, Sahara Sand, and Melon Mambo Markers!

Three in One....a challenge Monday!

It seems like it's been weeks since I've been able to play along with the online challenges! I've missed the last two MoJo Monday sketches, but this week I DID IT! Yippee! This week at the Mojo Monday Blog, I made a card based upon the sketch below! I love that it's simple and can easily be used for a Christmas card or for ANY occasion!

So my color choices came from the Color Throwdown blog and their color challenge #73! I haven't played along with their color challenges in a few weeks so I was thrilled to join in on all the fun they have! This week's challenge was to use: Kiwi Kiss, Real Red, Always Artichoke, and Cool Caribbean and since I didn't have a few of the colors, I 'cheated' just a little bit!! I substituted Old Olive for Kiwi Kiss and Garden Green for Always Artichoke!

My winter/Christmas theme came from the Snow or Snowflake challenge posted on the Our Creative Corner blog! Christmas is only a few days away, so I hope you enjoy this joyous holiday season!
