Stampin' Up! Limited Time "Holiday Extravaganza" Sale Starts Tomorrow!

From November 26-December 1, Stampin' Up! is having a Holiday Extravaganza Sale.  This sale will feature discounted (20-50% off!) product bundles.  WOO HOO!  We all love "bundles", don't we?  I know I do!

Check back here tomorrow for all the details!  Although I don't know all the details myself yet, I just learned that the special may be tied to online ordering.  Remember, you can place an online order by going to my SU! website:  www.donnas.stampinup.net and clicking on "Shop Now".

I'll have a special gift for the first ten people to place an order.  The gift will be equal to your (standard 10%) shipping charge, so the more you spend, the greater your gift!

One final note:  Quantities are limited.  If you see something you want, place your order right away or you may miss out, and I'd hate to see that happen :-(

Check back tomorrow!

Sizzix Big Shot to the (homework) rescue!

Once again, my daughter is thankful that I am an SU! demo!  The SU! pennant die came in very handy indeed when she needed to make some pyramids for a diorama on ancient Egypt.  Check it out!  Pretty cool, huh?  She got an A plus!

 

Pumpkin Pie, Anyone?

Isn't this a fun little place setting favor?

 

And look, the top lifts right up to reveal the treat!

My 4th upline, Jan, sent us this idea this morning.  THANKS JAN!  Her version uses a pattern that involves cutting and scoring to make the cake piece (see her blog post here for that pattern (note: I did not use that pattern - keep reading!).   I got the idea that perhaps our Pennant Die for the Big Shot machine could be used to make a piece of pie.  So, I set to work and I had my piece of pie in about a half an hour!  WOO HOO!  Now, obviously, my piece of pie is much larger, but have you ever heard anyone complain about getting a bigger piece of pie?  I think not!

I think you can see from the pictures how it is put together.  Aside from cutting the 2 pennants from pumpkin pie, you'll also need the following:

1 piece of Creamy Caramel cardstock, 5 1/2 x 2", edged with the scallop edge punch.

1 piece of Pumpkin Pie cardstock 10 x 1 1/2, scored at 5" across and 1/2" lengthwise (the sides of the pie).  The 1/2" scored section gets adhered to the top piece of the pie.

1 piece of Pumpkin Pie cardstock 5 1/2 x 7/8" (to cover the inside where the two pennants are adhered to the Creamy Caramel piece).

Here are more pics so you can see how it's put together. Enjoy!

Season of Thanks

At convention this year they had a beautiful shadow box using the Season of Thanks Decor Element.  The minute I saw it, I knew I wanted one for myself.  This shadow box is 14 x 17 and I used the small Season of Thanks Decor Element on the glass.
