Stampin Up Club - 2 Spots left

Wow its been forever since I have posted...I've had lots going on and hope to catch you all up real soon.

However I wanted to announce that I have 2 spots left, for a stampin up club to run from July - November. I just got a sneak peek at the new catalog that comes out on Friday and its really fantastic...I'm not sure where I'm going to start! Any how if you love stampin up this is a great way to get the products you love and want and earn some free goodies along the way. I'm going to post all the details below if you would like to join or have any questions feel free to email me at chrtobatmsndotcom.

I'm looking for 5 women who are interested in taking part in a monthly club that will run from July - November. Club members will be expected to place a minimum of $30 in product each month (plus tax and shipping to me, I will pay shipping to you.) Orders will be due to me by the 10th of each month and payment will be due by the 15th of each month.

What do you get in return...other then great Stampin Up products you ask?

Each member will get:
~The new catalog
~Any mini's that come out during the club
~Each month you will get 2 kits to assemble at home (for example a card kit, a tag, a 3d or altered item, etc, all supplies are included and pictures of the completed projects are sent to you via email)
~A chance to win door prizes (items raffled off each month)
~In addition one month you will be named Hostess and get at least $15 in host dollars to be used any way you wish.

DtsArt Desgin team. Gift Card Holders

I have a tear in my eye as I write this post, this will be our last project of this Design Team Term. Hopefully I will be back after the holidays. However, before we wrap up this term we have one last fantastic project, just in time for the holidays.

This week we got a great file with 4 gift holder files, I was excited to get this project because I give a lot of gift cards for Christmas so I will get a lot of use out of this one, and it of course was super easy to use, and was fun to decorate!

I hope you enjoy what I made, please make sure to check out what the other girls did at DtsArt blog and if you want to purchase this file please go here.

DtsArt Blog Hop! With How to make layered Freezer T-shirt Viedo.

Wow can you believe I've been designing for DtsArt or 8 months now! Where has the time gone? Its been an amazing journey with Dardi and the other designers at DtsArt.com. We've worked with some fantastic cut files and I've had so much fun sharing with all of you along the way. Who remembers my 1st project the Bunny Layout, or the pin wheel Birthday card or how about that cute little spinning red bird and the blue little panda. Oh there have been so many great ones along the way, one I think I got a lot of questions and comments about was the Monkey onesie and people wanted to know how I did the layers.

So I've put together a video of how I paint the layers with the freezer paper. Its a little long, I tried to edit it where I could so I hope its not to long and still makes sense! Here it is Enjoy! (after you watch continue to scroll down there are more goodies below!)

DtsArt Desgin team. K Cup Pilgrim Hat

I can't wait to use these on Thanksgiving, I think I will fill them with after dinner mints and use them to decorate every one's plates!

DtsArt Desgin team. Candy Boxes

For this week Dardi sent us these great candy boxes to play with. I got excited when I saw the file because I have these 2 great Stampin Up Stamp sets that I've been dying to use and haven't really been able to and when I saw these boxes I knew I would be breaking out those stamps!

If you would like to get this great file please go to Dardi's store here. Also please check out Dardi's blog and see what all the DT members did with these boxes there all very crafty! DtsArt Blog

DtsArt Desgin team. Post it note holder

This week Dardi gave us these really fun little post it note holder. Its a very simple and quick file to cut, and it makes a great gift. I found these great fall post it notes at Target and I'm going to make one of these for each of my employees as a little thank you gift around thanksgiving. Please check out the DtsArt blog to check out all the wonderful post it note holders. If you would like to get this file you can find it here.

DtsArt Desgin team. Candy Corn Peeps

This week I'm guest designing on the other design team at DtsArt. I had to guest design when I saw these cute little Candy Corn Peeps. I already had plans to make these little pal center peaces and I thought these little Candy Corn Peeps would just look perfect in the Candy Corn pal that I had. I will be posting the other pals I made below.

Now I know I'm always bragging about how easy and great the cut falls are from DtsArt, but after doing these pals and using cut files from another site I truly can say that Dardi does an amazing job of making her cut files perfect. Everything is split by color, you don't have to go into ink scape and try to split files further or cut things in multiple colors to get all your pieces. Also you can put all the pieces on the mat and make them the size you want and they all fit correctly. I've had files where this is not the case and resizing is a nightmare! I know it takes Dardi a long time to put these files together and its clear why they are clean and easy to use!!!

Please make sure you check out every one's projects at DtsArt Blog and here to purchase.

Here are some close ups of my little Candy Corn peeps.
