Wanna Swap?

Are you in need of cards?
Swap with us.
We need at least one more person for this month's swap.
Make 10 of the same card and swap the out with others who have done the same thing.
Here are the cards we have so far:

We need to have them by the middle of next week. I would love to help you!
Just for fun I am going to pick a random person who leaves a comment on this post to get a full set of swap cards. (With the amount of comments I've gotten so far you have a really good chance to win.) Let me know if you want to swap with us!

World Cardmaking Day

Well, I'm almost a week late for this one but at least my homework got done! This past Saturday was world cardmaking day and Stampin' UP is excited to celebrate this holiday the week of October 4-11. During this week, we are offering 20 percent off Simply Sent card kits and Simply Sent Card Elements. It's not too late - sorry I was slow.
The first picture is the three cards suggested to be made with Rock Star Simply Sent Card Elements and the second picture is an additional 9 different cards I made with the rest of the stuff. I even had a little left over. It's a great way to put together some quick cute cards.

Wrapping it up!

It's the time of year for all kinds of treats all wrapped up in fun packaging! I got this great bag idea from Allison Ohran's blog. I altered the instructions a little and cut off an inch from the DSP (the 6 inch side) scalloped it and put it on the bottom of the bag instead of cardstock. I also changed the box base a little bit. Quick easy and so cute! Thanks Allison!
Here is a matching sour cream container. You can use them for Birthday or shower favors, fill it with Halloween treats, lists of things your thankful for and put them on your Thanksgiving table or do a countdown to Christmas opening one each day. So dust off your crimper and get going!

One of my favorite gifts is a gift card. Here's a great way to spice up the gift everyone loves to get!


And don't forget to add a little spice to that plain jane paper bag. You can quickly and easily decorate an inexpensive bag for any occasion and then watch it get passed around - they're too cute to throw away!

We'll be doing this class on Thursday October 16 from 12:30 to 3:00. If you can't join us then, contact me and I can schedule a class for you and your friends at your convenience. Be sure and reserve a spot.
