Donna Schafer's Stamping Station

An Invitation to My New Catalog Debut Saturday, June 22 (and a New Catalog Sample)

It's that time of year!  I have boxes and boxes of new catalog sitting in my living room!   They're waiting just for you, so mark you calendar and join me for this event.

Date:  Saturday, June 22

Time:  9:30 - 1:00 (come anytime)

Where:  My home in Temperance

RSVP:  Not required, but appreciated

Come pick up your copy of the new catalog and see some of the fabulous new products!  You'll also be able to do some stamping (of course!) with some $1.00 make & takes.  Come anytime between 9:30 and 1:00.

• New catalogs
• $1.00 make & takes
• Retired items for sale
• Partial credit toward new products when purchasing retired items
• $1 grab-bags
• Door prizes

I'll have my newly retired items for sale.  When you purchase retired items, you'll get 50% of that amount as a credit toward new catalog merchandise purchased that day.  Example: Purchase $40 in retired items, get $20 off any catalog order placed that day.   (No credit for future purchases - you must use the credit that day.  Credits not transferrable).   

Come have some stampin' fun with your fellow stampers!

 Here's a sample using a new stamp set from the upcoming catalog.  It's called Wildflower Meadow.  I also used the matching embossing folder.  Cool effect, huh?  I love it!  I used one of the upcoming new In Colors called Coastal Cabana.  It is such a pretty color! 

Stamps:  Wildflower Meadow.  Colors:  Coastal Cabana (In Color 2013-2015), Whisper White.  Accessories:  Whisper White 1/4" Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon, Two-Way Glue Pen, Dazzling Diamonds Glitter.

 

Cards for this Saturday's Class (still one spot left)

Hi stampers!  I wanted to share the cards we'll be making at my Farewell to Retiring Stamps class this Saturday.  I still have one slot left in the class.  I'll be finishing up the cutting tomorrow, so let me know if I need to cut projects for you!

Class is $15.   (Please bring your own adhesive to the class.)

(I posted this first card in a previous post, but I wanted to post it again with all the other samples).

There are two versions of the last card.  You'll pick one of these:

Blossom Punch Get Well Card

I made this card for a friend who had surgery recently.  I'm going to miss this Summer Smooches Designer Series Paper when it's gone.

I couldn't quite get the color to look accurate when I took this photo.  The blue is actually Island Indigo.  The green is Lucky Limeade.  Although it looks white, the card base and scallop oval are Very Vanilla.

Stamps set:  (Retired) Garden Greetings (sorry, I didn't realize I had used a retired set until I'd taken the photo and mailed the card).  Colors:  Island Indigo, Pool Party, Lucky Limeade, Very Vanilla.  Accessories:  Big Shot, Top Note Die, Summer Smooches Designer Series Paper, Modern Label punch, Blossom Punch, Lacy Brocade Embossing Folder, Boho Blossoms Punch, Pool Party Ruffled Ribbon, Stampin' Dimensionals.

Last Day to Sign Up for Saturday's Class. Here's One Sample ...

Hi stampers!  Today is the last day to sign up for my "Farewell to Retiring Stamp Sets" class. 

I did not have time to make all the samples yesterday, as planned.  My youngest daughter injured her toe Wednesday night at karate class, and yesterday was spent visiting doctors and getting xrays.  Yep, it's broken.  No more track or karate for six weeks.  Poor thing :-(   As a result of that little adventure, today's to-do list (which involves a drive to Jackson, MI) is very long indeed!  I'll be designing the rest of the cards tonight.  Rest assured, they'll be worth your while!

I would love to see you at the class!  Remember, you'll get $10 off an order of $25 or more at the class (making the class cost just $5.00).  Come on out and make some cards with fellow stampers! 

Saturday, April 27

10:00 am - 1:00 pm

Cost:  $15.00 (remember, you'll get $10 of that back when you place a $25 or more order)

Lambertville United Methodist Church - corner of Dean & Douglas Rds., Lambertville

E-mail me at Oh2BeStampin@gmail.com to RSVP.

Don't forget about the prizes I'll be giving away.  I put a photo of those in my post earlier this week. 

 OK, here's one of the cards we'll be making, using the Just Believe stamp set and the retiring Riding Hood Red cardstock.

 

 I hope you like it!  Thanks for stopping by!
