Holiday Catalog Card Buffet

The Holiday Catalog is coming, the Holiday Catalog is coming!!!!! Can you tell I'm super excited? It is one fabulous catalog, filled with beautiful fall and winter stamp sets, papers, and embellishments. There are also several kits that really are a must have.

To celebrate the launch of the Holiday Catalog (it goes live September 5th), I'm holding in my home a Card Buffet Thurs, Sept. 6th and Sunday, Sept. 9th. What is a card buffet you ask? Well, I will have a total of 10 different cards for you to pick from to create as many as you want. I'm thinking you'll want to do all 10!!! Cost per card is $1.50. The time for each event is 10am - 2pm and bring your own adhesive. Please email me (anderson@zoominternet.net) which day you plan to attend and approximate time.

You can't come to the card buffet? Well place an order of $25 (before shipping and tax) at my online store using Hostess Code SZVWU4WZ and I will send you 5 card kits of your choosing free. If you place a $50 order (before shipping and tax) using Hostess Code SZVWU4WZ I will send you 10 card kits of your choosing free!!

Having Fun With Ribbon

This card is for a challenge to use ribbon in a fun way!! I simply punched out a circle and attached loops of ribbon to it with heavy adhesive and glue dots. Then I punched out another circle in Daffodil Delight and ran it thru the Softly Falling embossing folder for the texture. The ribbon stem and leaves just gave me grief but I finally won and got them adhered down!!!! Hahaha!! Sometimes it is a fight!
