Submit your favorite Thanksgiving Tradition

and enter to win a $10 Annabelle’s Stamping Studio

gift card!

 

I love my family’s Thanksgiving tradition.  For about the past 40 years we’ve been going to Santa Maria to spend Thanksgiving with my sister and her family.  It’s so awesome to see how although the tradition has stayed the same, things have changed a bit because of things changing in our family dynamic. While we used to have dinner at my sister’s house in Santa Maria, we now go to San Luis Obispo to have our dinner at her daughter’s house.  She’s grown and has children of her own and she now carries on the tradition that her mom and dad started so long ago. My sweet mamma moved to Santa Maria 15 years ago so our time is extra special during Thanksgiving. We always have so much fun. I can’t wait to go up every year.

I will be doing a drawing on Tuesday November 19th for a $10 Annabelle’s Stamping Studio gift card to be used on Stampin’ Up! product.  Just in time for Stampin’ Up!’s Online Extravaganza.  See details below!  Don’t miss out on submitting your favorite tradition as I will close submissions on Monday November 18 @ 10 pm pst.  This drawing for the $10 gift card is for my customers only.  If one of my downline wins, you will receive the new My Ready Reference Guide.

Our annual Online Extravaganza will be held November 20-22, 2019.  More details will follow next week when the details are made available to all of us. Check Annabelle’s Stamping Studio’s FB page and Instagram page for all the details.  There will be a lot of good deals to be had.

Workshop & Shop

Posted on by Annabelle's Stamping Studio

What’s more fun than going to a Workshop?

Shopping (obviously)!

 

Hello Stampers!

I’m hoping all mothers (I include mothers of fur babies, cuz you’re a mom to them too) had a very Happy Mother’s Day!  We had a wonderful time making some beautiful Mother’s Day cards at the April workshop.  See below.  May’s workshop will focus on Father’s Day and All Occasion projects. You don’t want to miss this workshop, and here’s why:

As you all know I moved last year and Annabelle’s Stamping Studio, got a new home.  Well it’s taken me all this time to get our home somewhat settled (still not done), so I started to focus on organizing and  cleaning out Annabelle’s Stamping Studio.  Some of you may not know that I have been selling and exclusively using Stampin’ Up! products for 25 years on June 30.  Well, let that sink in for a minute, 25 years!!!!!  That includes 25 years of stamp sets, paper, ink pads, ink refills, ribbon, tools, embellishments and everything imaginable that has anything to do with paper crafting and rubber stamping and general crafting.  Well I don’t think any home we would have moved to would fit everything that I have accumulated in 25 years.

Lucky for you, on the day of May’s workshop (May 25, 2019) I will be having a BLOW OUT sale on everything crafty! You will be able to buy vintage stamp sets, (Circa 1994-2018 some not opened), dies, ink pads with matching ink refills, DSP, card stock, pre-cut shaped card stock, tools, punches, Stampin’ Write Markers, die cutting machine (complete with alphabet dies), beautiful velum with matching DSP, scrapbooking supplies, scrapbooking kits, storage, pre-made projects (cards, boxes, gift packaging etc)  and MUCH MUCH MORE.  You don’t want to miss it.

Also at this sale I’m having a Closed Garage “Home Goods” Sale.  There are a lot of home decor and household items that I’m not able to use in this house.  I can’t have an open door garage sale, so I’m calling this sale a “Closed Garage “Home Goods” Sale.  The garage won’t be open, but our front door will be open leading to our garage that will be open for business! Items for sale in the “Home Goods” sale include mirrors, wall pictures, hangings, kitchen items, appliances, floral arrangements, plants, decorator lamps, area rugs, end/coffee table, library table, books, workout equipment, yoga equipment (mats, towels bag etc), workout bench with dumb bell weights and MUCH MUCH MORE.  Some items have never been used.

Come early, Stay late! Hope to see you all here.

APRIL WORKSHOP PHOTOS

 

I’m so glad this set “Piece of Cake” is being carried over to our new 2019-2020 catalog. It’s SO versatile and so easy to make a variety of cards for a whole lot of occasions. It’s bundled with the Cake Punch so no fussy cutting on this adorable card.

 

Didn’t I tell you that this set is so versatile? Piece of Cake is such a fun set to work with. I love our new colors on this card, Granny Apple Green and Gorgeous Grape.

 

Limes or lemons what ever you choose, you can use this stamp set. This is just such a fun card. Can be used for other types of cards as well.

 

I’m really going to miss this Bloom by Bloom set and the beautiful primary colors. I you love it, you can still get it until June 3, 2019.

 

 

This card looks complicated but it’s actually easy to put together. I think the layers throw people off, but with the word dies, you’re good to go!

 

 

Check out theses Last-Change Products. They will be gone after June 3, 2019

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Changes, Changes, Changes

Changes – Price Increases

And Discontinuing Items

 

Hello Stampers! I wanted to share the list of our price changes that will take effect in our new 2019-2020 Annual Catalog beginning June 4, 2019.  The increases are small ranging from $0.25 to $1.00, which is good.  I think it would be a good idea if you would stock up on your basic necessities (paper, ink, things like that) and save some money.  Every little bit helps.

Also on Monday April 15 I’m going to post our Retiring List.  Every year I let you guys know ahead of time that our retiring items are on a first come first served basis.  Once the items are gone, they’re gone and Stampin’ Up! will not be replenishing their stock, so of course I encourage you to order what you see and want, as soon as possible.

To view Price Changes click the following link:

https://su-media.s3.amazonaws.com/media/catalogs/2019-2020%20Annual%20Catalog/Price%20Change%20Charts/03.25.19_AC_PRICE_CHANGE_US.pdf

 

Now for the big announcement! Stampin’ Up! is discontinuing our Big Shot die cutter and our Trimmer.  Stampin’ Up! is in the process of designing their own branded die cutter and trimmer.  This will eliminate a 3rd party supplier and will also eliminate backorders since we will get it directly from the manufacturer.  This will be ideal as the dies and embossing folders will be made custom to fit the die cutter and work perfectly together.  It will take a little time for that to happen, so we are not offering a die cutter or a trimmer in our new Annual Catalog.  Stampin’ Up! is redesigning the dies, and embossing folders to work with our new products. In the meantime, we will continue to use our tools as normal and look forward to all the new products.  If you have additional questions on any of these changes, let me know and I will happy to forward you additional information.

Pretty Spring Cards

 

And just like that…… It’s Easter!!! Well almost. You do have some time to make some beautiful cards and fun Easter gifts for the little ones.  I just love the Fable Friends set for some darling Easter cards.  Coupled with our beautiful Gingham Gala 6 x 6 DSP, you can come up with some amazing cards.  I want to thank Amy Combs for these beautiful projects we made at her retreat. When I saw how adorable this little bunny is (kind of reminds me of the Velveteen Rabbit) I knew that it would be a big hit when coupled with the Gingham paper.

 

 

The other cards in this post are the cards we made at the last workshop on March 30th.  We had such a good time as we do every workshop, but the ladies this time seemed to really like the “Fun Folds” cards and “out of the box” deigns.  Only 1 of the 5 cards is a traditional front open card.  Let me know what you think!

 

 

Here is the inside of the card above. It’s all in how you fold it!

 

I love this very easy card made with this bright DSP.  It’s so versatile.

 

How awesome is this black card?  The solid black makes the bright colors pop and makes for a beautiful card.

 

I’ve always loved Navy blue and bright green! I love the way this card perfectly blends together. You have geometric figures, checks, daisies, dots and a doily going on that’s what makes it so eye catching.

 

I love, love, love this trip fold card. You can make 2 out of 12 x 12 DSP. Again, it’s all in the fold.  Not difficult to make, but it looks difficult so it’s always a big hit.

 

Some of the DSP we used is Sale-a-Bration DSP so it is no longer available but the cards can be made with any DSP of your choice.  If you have any questions about availability on any stamp set or product, let me know and I’ll give you an update.

 

Mother’s Day Workshop

 

This month’s workshop theme will be Mother’s Day. We’re going to have so much fun working on making some amazing Mother’s Day Cards to give to a Mother in your life.  Did you notice I said a Mother in your life? That’s because not only do I make my wonderful Mother a nice card every year, I also like to send Mother’s Day cards to my dear friends who are mother’s themselves and also grandmothers.  What a wonderful way to show those you love on such a special day.

 

DATE: April 27, 2019

TIME: 11:00-4:00 PM

PLACE: Annabelle’s Stamping Studio, 3300 Granada Circle, Brea 92823

COST: $28 ($23 for my downline)

ANNABELLE’S STAMPING STUDIO’S FIRST

PAPER PUMPKIN WORKSHOP

 

On Saturday December 1, I had my very first Paper Pumpkin workshop.  It was a lot like our Paper Pumpkin Club but different on several levels. First the Hostess Darshana Patel received all the Hostess Benefits, as she hosted it in her home and provided all the food, friends, family and fun.  Each person had their own Paper Pumpkin kit to work on. It was so much fun seeing everyone’s personality coming out in each of their creations.  We had door prizes and amazing food and snacks and had an amazing time. Darshana had such a wonderful time that we’ve already booked it for the first Saturday in December  from here on out.  It really put us on in the Holiday spirit!

If you would like to host your own Paper Pumpkin workshop and get all the Hostess Benefits, contact me today for details! Don’t forget Sale-a-Bration is starting January 2, 2019.  During Sale-a-Bration you earn extra Hostess Benefits.

“Giving Thanks and Celebrate” – November Workshop

Posted on by Annabelle's Stamping Studio

NOVEMBER “GIVING THANKS AND CELEBRATE” WORKSHOP

It’s hard to believe that the Holidays creeped up on us so fast again this year.  Seems like it was just a short time ago we were still in summer mode. Even though the Season to celebrate is almost upon us we still have a little bit of time to create the things that we want to for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s. But before we jump into full holiday mode, I want to prepare you for Sale-a-Bration and the all new 2019 Occasions Catalog! Now that’s hard to believe! Not only the holidays, but a whole new year is upon us.  I’m so excited for Sale-a-Bration and the Occasions catalog as I am every year.  In fact, I’m writing this post on the plane on my way to Orlando, FL for Stampin’ Up!’s 30 Anniversary and Birthday party!!!  My good friend from High School and College is one of my downline demonstrators and is with me on this trip.  She doesn’t know how much fun she’s going to have.  I’m so excited because this is the first year I’ll be able to attend CenterStage. CenterStage is an event exclusive to those who hold the title Silver Elite and above. This year it’s a special event at Epcot Center on Wednesday November 7. Since I’ve never been to a CenterStage, I don’t know what all is involved, but I do know it’s an extra special event where we get treated to some awesome perks. I’ll let you know all about it in my next post. I want to thank each and every one of my recruits for making this possible for me. I appreciate all that you do and the support you have given me these past couple of years. One thing I do know for sure is that all of us attending OnStage will get the new Occasions Catalog and the Sale-a-Bration Brochure.  

I’m back from OnStage! It was SO much fun.  I came home with 7 new stamp sets and lots of other product as well.  It was a great time had by all!

With that being said, I’d like to give you all the details on the next “Giving Thanks and Celebrate” Workshop, which will include 2 Christmas cards and 1 Holiday gift packaging project and 2 All Occasion cards:

If you do bring your own items, please label them clearly so that they don’t mixed up with mine and other people’s items. The following adhesives should be in your kit as well as I don’t provide them.  We may not use them at every session but it’s good to have them in your Stamping Workshop Kit; Snail, Fast Fuse, Dimensionals (small and large), Multipurpose glue (white bottle with the green lid), tape runner.

March Madness Workshop Recap

Posted on by Annabelle's Stamping Studio

This month the March Madness

Workshop was so much fun!

 

Have you ever planned an event and did everything that needed to be done, checked everything, reviewed everything and when time comes for the event you realize, I’m totally ready and everything is going to be just right?  Well that’s exactly what happened yesterday at the March Madness Workshop!

It was so much fun and everyone loved the projects. In fact they were “wow’ed” at two of them in particular. These projects were so much fun to make and once they put them together you think, “That was so easy and the finished cards have a fun twist to them.”  Thank Amy Combs for the designs and ideas.

The highlight of the workshops each month of course are the projects, but this month we had a special St. Patrick’s Day treat from my good friend Carol.  She made cake pops with white frosting and green sparkles.  They were so good! Carol is such a good baker……think back to the wonderful Christmas cookies she made! Thank you Carol.

Here are some pictures of the projects we made and of the ladies being very creative.  Sorry I missed taking a picture of the cake pops.

This card was made with the free Sale-a-Bration Cake Soiree Memories & More kit, some Wink of Stella, white doilies and voila! We used the Thank You stamp from the Petal Palette set. Super super simple but so pretty.  The picture doesn’t show the  beauty of the Wink of Stella.  I love love love Wink of Stella. It gives just the right amount of shine and glitter.

The Petal Palette stamp set along with the Petals and More Framelits dies are the perfect fit for using the Blends.  You have to try them.

In this project we again used the free Sale-a-Bration Cake Soiree Memories and More kit. The Memories and More kits are way more than simply creating your scrapbooks and keeping your memories safe. All the cards match our ink, paper, embellishments so whipping up a card is easy peasy!

This card as with the Thank You card above, it’s all about the Blends. Are you beginning to see how versatile the Blends are and what great shading you get from applying the color in the right place. Did you know that you can color almost anything with the Blends? For example, we carry white dots and you can use the Blends to color the dots to match the project. Who knew right? You just have to get the Blends! You won’t be sorry.

Posted on by Annabelle's Stamping Studio

You’re Invited to

March Stamping Madness Workshop

 

Hello Stampers and Crafters:

Wow how this past month has flown by.  Every year in January the month seems to go by rather slowly for me.  I know it’s a long month and all, but the minute the end of the January rolls around, all of a sudden it’s March!  Where does February go? Once Valentine’s Day is over it seems like time just picks up speed and doesn’t stop!  Here it is already almost the middle of March, well not really but by the time the next workshop comes around it will be past the middle of March.

I want to personally invite you to join us as we gather together and start to make our Spring cards, Easter Cards and get a head start on ideas for Mother’s Day cards.

We still have about 3-1/2 weeks until Sale-a-Bration is over so we have a lot of time to get our orders in to earn our free product.  Have you had a chance to see the 2nd release of 4 new Sale-a-Bration choices?  Click here to see the brochure and start planning your list to qualify for either Level 1 ($50 before s & t, or Level 2 ($100 before s & t).

Paper Pumpkin Turns 5!

Posted on by Annabelle's Stamping Studio

How Did That Happen?

 

Can you believe that Paper Pumpkin turns 5 next month? I can’t either. Let’s celebrate five wonderful years of creativity and sharing! Paper Pumpkin is going to celebrate in a big way so you won’t want to miss next months kit!

Subscribe by March 10 to receive Paper Pumpkin’s awesome March kit and FREE GIFT packaged in our special 5th Anniversary Box. We never know what the kit is or what the box will look like or what the FREE GIFT will be, but I do know this….. it will be great!

Join the fun and share your favorite Paper Pumpkin experiences using #PAPERPUMPKIN5

Did you know that Annabelle’s Stamping Studio is starting a Paper Pumpkin Crafting Club? Our first club meeting will be held on Thursday March 1 from 5:00 until 9:00. At the first club meeting we will decide how much fun we’re having and see if we need to adjust the hours and format.  You can always stay later if you’d like.

Are you all caught up on your Paper Pumpkin kits? You know, one of those super fast crafters that finishes the kit the day it arrives and are so creative that you can come up with alternative ideas on a dime?  I like to call these crafters Edward Scissorhands! You know who you are!  Or maybe you’re not a Paper Pumpkin subscriber, we won’t judge you (hee hee) we want you to join us as well.  Bottom line…….everyone is invited to  join us in the Paper Pumpkin Crafting Club where you can do any crafting project that you need to get done and join in the fun! I’m inviting everyone to attend so that no one will have FOMO! You’re Welcome!!!!

What IS Paper Pumpkin you ask? Well just think:

  • StitchFix – Clothes
  • Rocksbox – Jewelry
  • Birchbox – Beauty and Cosmetics
  • Adore Me – Lingerie
  • Ipsy – Glam Bag
  • Winc – Wine
  • Pearlesque – Organic beauty products
  • Enjoy Flowers – Flowers
  • Paper Pumpkin – Awesome paper crafting kit!

It’s the same idea with Paper Pumpkin. It’s a monthly subscription box for people who want to make beautiful customized handmade stamped projects for their everyday needs and want to be ready for any occasion. Each month you receive a kit with everything you need to make the beautiful project for that month.  The projects are perfectly designed, color coordinated, die cut and ready to assemble.  You get a coordinating stamp set, ink, clear acrylic block adhesive, ribbon and embellishments to make the perfect project.  All the work is taken out of the mix so that you can skip to the creativity fun! Usually the kit contains 8-12 cards and/or projects with envelopes ready to be sent out as soon as you’re done. The only thing you need are scissors.  If you’re a creative crafter and one who thinks outside the box, you don’t have to follow the instructions, you can make up your own projects with the contents of the kit. How cool is that?

When you’re all done making your projects you’ll have your stamp set, acrylic block, ink pads and other items to help you build up your crafting supplies.

There are several ways to subscribe, month to month, 3-month prepaid subscription, 6-month prepaid subscription (save $1/month), 12-month subscription (save $2/month) click here to see ways to subscribe.  As long as you subscribe by the 10th of the month you’ll get started with that month’s kit.  You can put it on hold if you go on vacation and you can even increase the number of kits you receive each month.  Totally flexible.

Stampin’ Up! also offers *full kits and *refill kits for past months to current subscribers only. So if  you love a certain month’s kit, you can go into your Paper Pumpkin account and order full kits or refill kits.

The price is $19.95/mo plus tax, (incl. shipping). If you’re thinking about trying Paper Pumpkin, sign up by March 10 to not miss out on the anniversary special.

 

*Not all months offer full kits or refill kits for sale after the release of the kit.

Full kits – $19.95

Refill Kits – $8 (refill kits don’t include stamps or ink)

You don’t get charged until your kit ships each month.

Don’t forget that Sale-a-Bration is still ongoing and if you purchase a 3-month pre-paid Paper Pumpkin subscription ($59.85 before tax) you qualify for a free Sale-a-Bration item out of either of the two Sale-a-Bration Brochures click here to see both Sale-a-Bration brochures.  YAY!

Click on this 5th Anniversary flyer to sign up today!

New Sale-a-Bration Items

New Sale-a-Bration Items

Posted on by Annabelle's Stamping Studio

See the New Sale-a-Bration Items

Here!

 

Beginning Friday February 16, Stampin’ Up! is releasing some new free items to choose from during Sale-a-Bration (February 16 – March 31, 2018).  We still have a lot of time left to earn all of the great products we have to choose from, but now we have even more to choose from.

I’m posting the new Sale-a-Bration Brochure so you can start your wish list.  Stampin’ Up! is offering 2 items in Level 1 category (free w/$50 purchase) and they’ve added a set of 2 items for Level 2 (free w/$100 purchase).

All the choices in this release are so nice.  I love the Eclectic Expressions stamp set (Level 1 category), I also love the Springtime Foils Speciality DSP (Level 1 category)  and I’m really loving the Blossoming Basket Bundle in the Level 2 category.  Check out the brochure for the great ideas they’ve come up with using these products.  Of course I want them all!

What I like about the samples that they show in the brochure is that they’ve used some product from the first release items and paired them with some of the product from this brochure to make some really cool items.  I think my favorite item in this brochure is the Basket Weave Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  It is so cool looking and adds so much dimension to any project.  Do you remember what “Dynamic” means when we’re talking about our TIEF’s? It means that you can spritz your card stock with a little water and then run it through your Big Shot and it will give you a really deep and “Dynamic” impression.  It really does add lot of texture and personality to your project. Earn your free Basket Weave Dynamic TIEF today!

Submit your work using our Sale-a-Bration products and I’ll post them in the Sale-a-Bration section of my website under Customer Creations. I hope you’re all having fun with these great products, and don’t forget to tell everyone!

FAST FUSE PROMOTION

IS OVER!

 

Just as I figured the Fast Fuse Promotion that was supposed to go for 5 days, has ended!  I’m hoping that you got in before the they sold out.  I know I’m always emphasizing “While Supplies Last” and I do that because I know that things like this will happen and I don’t my customers to miss out.

I did order extras, so if you’d like some please let me know ASAP because it’s First Come First Served with my supply. The total cost is $11.85 with shipping and tax. $10 Fast Fuse, $1 shipping, $0.85 tax = $11.85 (You get 1 Fast Fuse and 2 FREE REFILLS).

I got a notice that they have already shipped, so they should be here by Monday next week.  If you did order from me here are your totals:

1 Fast Fuse Cartridges (w/2 free refills) = $11.85

2 Fast Fuse Cartridges (w/4 free refills) = $23.70

3 Fast Fuse Cartridges (w/6 free refills) = $35.55

You can pay me directly through PayPal, check or cash. For those of you who ordered and are coming to the workshop on Saturday, you can pay me then.

Thank you all who participated in this promotion, I know you’re going to love using Fast Fuse.  There is a little trick in using it so I will be doing a FB Live video in the next couple of days on how to properly use it.  Unless you know how to properly use it, please don’t try to use it like Snail because it doesn’t work the same way and you’ll be disappointed and I don’t want that to happen. I want you to get the most benefit from your product by using it correctly.

We got a notice last week that the first round of Stamparatus is almost ready to ship.  If you have reserved a Stamparatus with me back in November, you are in this first round to receive your Stamparatus.

The email noted that they will begin shipping next Friday February 16. Yay! I’m so excited to get my hands on it.

I will be sending out an email to those of  you that have one coming to you with the price with S & H.  You can pay by PayPal, check or cash but not a credit card.

Once we all get them, I’ll have a class on how to use it and we’ll get to learn all the tips and tricks of it together.

FAST FUSE PROMOTION IS BACK! WHILE SUPPLIES LAST ONLY!

Posted on by Annabelle's Stamping Studio

Don’t Miss Out!

February 8-12, 2018 ONLY!

While Supplies Last!

 

As you may remember, the response to the Fast Fuse promotion last fall was phenomenal, In fact, your enthusiasm was so overwhelming Stampin’ Up! simply didn’t have the inventory to keep the deal running!

So, as promised they’re bringing back the Fast Fuse Adhesive deal for 5 (five) days only – while supplies last!

For those of you who are unfamiliar with this promotion, here’s how it works;

When you buy ONE (1) Fast Fuse Adhesive, you’ll get TWO (2) Fast Fuse Adhesive refills for FREE! Breakdown of the deal:

Fast Fuse Adhesive Item Number: 129026 Price: $10 (13.1 yards)

Fast Fuse Refill Item Number: 129027 Price:  2 FREE (Regular Price $7.50 21.9 yards) $15 value FREE

This promotion will start on February 8 and end on February 12.  That’s only 5 days and While Supplies Last!

DON’T MISS OUT!

Call, email, or text me TODAY or TOMORROW and I will place your order with 10% shipping. You can order online as well but remember that minimum shipping for online orders is $6.95.  So unless you have an order over $69.95 you’ll be paying more.  I can order as many as you’d like but I need to have your order by tomorrow February 7, 2018 at 10:00 p.m.

Even if you don’t paper craft and make cards this is an amazing adhesive.  It is very strong and can be used on a variety of media. It’s strong enough for 3-D projects, and you can also use it in your scrapbooks and gift wrapping (it’s double sided) as well.
