Stamp with Elissa

Haitian Disaster Relief

Help make a difference in the lives of those who continue to suffer from the effects of the devastating earthquake that struck Haiti on January 12. From now until February 28th, Stampin' Up!® will set aside $2 from the sale of every I {Heart} Hearts stamp set and donate it to the American Red Cross’ Haiti Relief and Development Fund. The Red Cross is already well established in Haiti, and this money will be used to provide immediate relief and long-term support through supplies, technical assistance and other support to help those in need.

I {Heart} Hearts  • 117010 $26.95 wood mount • 118571 $18.95 clear mount (block D recommended)

This is a cause that is close to my heart, so I will personally match Stampin' Up!'s $2 donation for every set that is purchased through me.  Use this link to order online now.

If you love new card ideas...

If you love new card ideas, you'll love today's post!  I know it's been quite a while since I've blogged, so I figured I'd make up for it with LOTS of card samples and a reminder about my upcoming class.

First things first, you must ACT NOW if you want a seat at our great Make-N-Take Class on September 26th.  We've been planning for months, and the "super secret special stamping projects" are truly spectacular!  This is a large event, but we are more than 70% full with fewer than 20 seats remaining.  The registration deadline is THIS WEEK, so you need to PRINT & MAIL your registration form & payment ASAP if you want one of the remaining seats.  Click here for the registration form...

And of course, here are the rest of the sample cards that I promised.  (Click on each thumbnail image to see the full-size photo.)  They all feature the "Sunny Day" Simply Scrappin' Kit and the "Sincere Salutations" stamp set.  These were bonus cards that we made at my scrapbooking class last month, in addition to the great Sunny Day Mini Album.  Enjoy!

Happy Independence Day (and Stamps to Celebrate the Occasion)

Happy Independence Day! 

Today, as we celebrate our Freedom, it's always nice to say "thank you" to those in our Armed Forces (and their families) who have served & sacrificed to protect our way of life.  This year, I'm especially proud of the two patriotic stamp sets that Stampin' Up! has available.  They're pretty much a must-have for any military family or card ministry:

Courage  (115330)  $19.95

 

Service & Sacrifice  (115992)  $18.95

You can purchase either of these sets simply by clicking on the photos above.  Or if you'd like to order both sets, you can find them quickly by visiting my Online Ordering Page and typing the word "military" into the search box.

Happy Fourth, and God Bless America!
