Back to Spool

So the kids are back in school after the 3-day weekend and SU has a great deal for you! Actually it started on Sept 1st and runs the whole month. "Wat is it?" you ask. Well, you get a FREE spool of ribbon with every $40 purchase. The ribbon that you will receive is the new 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon in all 5 new In Colors. It's really supple, vibrant, and just great.

Choose from the following ribbons:

#126848 Gumball Green 3/8 Stitched Satin Ribbon
#126847 Midnight Muse 3/8 Stitched Satin Ribbon
#126844 Primrose Petals 3/8 Stitched Satin Ribbon
#126845 Rasperry Ripple 3/8 Stitched Satin Ribbon
#126846 Summer Starfruit 3/8 Stitched Satin Ribbon

So if you purchase $160 you earn Hostess benefits and you can get all 5 colors of ribbon!

Watch "Will it Embelish?", a funny video that SU put out to show what you can do with the ribbon.

Convention Swaps

I received this swap from Beverly Stewart. At first I didn't think much of it, but when I saw the way it opened to reveal the whole flower, it made more of an impression on me. The following is the recipe Beverly included on the back of her swap ~

stamps: mixed bunch, my friend, up up and away (leaf)
paper: whisper white and various colors
ink: black craft, versamark and colors to match papers
accessories: markers, dimensionals, clear ep, color coach for matching a variety of colors

This swap's colors look like pretty in pink, certainly celery and marina mist.

Have a great Labor Day weekend! My son is in a basketball tournament and has 2 games this afternoon and another on Mon. Hopefully I can get in a little stamp time.

I'm going to show a couple cards I received at Convention every couple days in the coming months. These neutral color choices are easy on the eyes. 

All Boy Thank Yous

I made some of these cards at my friend Cheryl's before Convention. I needed to make Thank you cards for my teenage son to give out after his birthday and wanted to borrow her Fast and Furious set. She just happened to be prepping for an upcoming class and had designed a b-day card version similar to this based on a card she had seen on DO's blog. So, being in a rush I just copied her idea and adapted it to a thank you card. It also came in handy to give my brother a week later.

Happy Stamping! Mary

Simple Fabulous Florets Swap

This is a swap from Convention that I didn't receive, but I got to take a photo. Isn't it striking with just black and white? Maybe I'll have to recreate this card sometime.

Happy Stamping! Mary
