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.

 

ONLINE EXTRAVAGANZA

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.

 

PAPER PUMPKIN

Don’t forget to sign up for the November Paper Pumpkin kit.  It coordinates with our beautiful kit from October.  Each kit can be used alone, but if you choose to use them together they work really well together.  The cards in these kits are so beautiful that you may want to increase the number of kits you order.  Remember that these kits always sell out so fast and you can’t get additional kits once they’re gone.  Don’t miss the November 10 deadline.

HAVE YOU SEEN THE NEW

2019 HOLIDAY CATALOG?

 

If you haven’t gotten your complimentary copy of the 2019 Holiday Catalog, contact me and I will get one out to you right away.  While you’re waiting for your own copy,  you can click on the image of the catalog below and view a digital version.

Where do I begin when it comes to describing this catalog?  Every year, I say something along these lines, but this year I just fell in love with one suite in particular, our Toile Tidings Suite (pages 6-9). It is such a classic and versatile suite.  It’s a large suite with all the necessary items to make beautiful Christmas cards, tags, gift wrap, and gift packaging.  There are two beautiful red rubber stamp sets in the suite (Toile Christmas Bundle & Tidings All Around Bundle) with coordinating dies for each stamp set First, I want to point out that the suite colors are traditional Christmas colors of Real Red and Garden Green.  The coordinating background color is Very Vanilla which adds a warmth to the DSP and matching wrapping paper.  I wanted to bring your attention to the ribbon in the suite. The Real Red Ruched ribbon is gorgeous.  It’s soft, and gently gathered on both edges to create a rich ruched look to help make your packages or projects look so elegant.  Then there’s the Garden Green Double Stitched ribbon.  It’s stitched on both edges making it perfect to tie tags onto packages while providing a classic elegant look.

 

CLICK THE COVER TO VIEW THE DIGITAL COPY OF THE CATALOG

I seem to gravitate to the beautiful Christmas products we have but I don’t want to forget the fun Halloween products we have this year, including the Coffin Treat Boxes and the adorable Monster Bash DSP in the Monster Bash Suite (pg 52-54).

 

 

Thanksgiving is a holiday I love to focus on because sometimes it gets kind of overlooked between Halloween and Christmas.  I’m really in love with the Come To Gather Suite (Pg. 46-48). I especially love the Come To Gather DSP and the Gather Together Bundle which of course includes the dies.  I love the rich colors of Fall and they’re all included in this suite. I think you’ll love it too.

Summer Loving, or Loving Summer?

Posted on by Annabelle's Stamping Studio

What’s your take on Summer?

For me it’s both…

 

Loving summer is easy for me because it’s a time when times are a little bit laid back and in California or you can take on a lot because there are so many things to do.  Summer loving, is also easy for me because I can make my own holiday in August.  Did you know that August has no official holiday? Think about it!  Well when I thought about it, I thought what a great time to have a stamping workshop and make it a party and my own August holiday! Join me for my Summer Loving workshop. Save the date by putting it on your calendar today!

Here are the details for the next workshop:

 

August Workshop

DON’T HATE ME!

CHRISTMAS IS ONLY 154 DAYS AWAY!

That fact does not scare me! That fact does not scare me! That fact does not scare me! Does it count that I keep repeating it to myself (and to you) that it doesn’t really scare me???  Insert laugh until you cry emoji!!!

The reason it doesn’t  scare me even just a little bit, is because I don’t have to come up with any ideas on my own to make my family’s Christmas super special this year.  You see, yesterday we as demonstrators got a pdf copy of the 2019 HOLIDAY CATALOG.  You can check out the cover below.

My sister and I alternate having our family Christmas dinner at our house each year and this is my year. I’m so excited that I can start planning all my special touches with the help of this beautiful Holiday Catalog.

You may be asking when you can get your hands on a copy of the holiday catalog. I will be giving  those that attend my workshop on August 10 their own copy, or see it at my online store and start purchasing on September 1, 2019. If you can’t make it to the workshop, and would like one, please let me know BY JULY 31, 2019, and I will put you on my physical mailing list. I will also be giving them out at my September workshop which will be my CHRISTMAS WORKSHOP where you will be making Christmas projects.  More on the September Christmas Workshop in my next post.

 

 

 

 

CUSTOMER GALLERY

 

I’ve been asking you to send me some pictures of your work so that I can showcase and give you kudos here in my posts.  Below are just a few of my customer’s beautiful work.  Forgive me for not starting this section earlier.  I’m going to post your cards here each month.  You can send me your work anytime during the month and I will post them in the next month’s special “Customer Gallery” section.  I will also upload them onto my website as well.  Thank you for sharing your beautiful work!

Help me to congratulate these ladies on their beautiful work!

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!

 

Happy 4th of July everyone! ! I hope that you’re able to take some time out today from the BBQ’s, parties and festivities to reflect and understand what this day really means!  I’m so grateful that I live in the best country in the whole world. I’m free to speak and live my life the way I want.  For that I’m truly grateful and whatever your reasons are, I hope that you can celebrate them today. AND….. yes let us celebrate by having the BBQ’s, parties and most of all the festivities and fireworks!!!!

As promised I want to post 4 of the 5 projects we will be doing at the workshop next Saturday July 13.  I’m working on one more project that’s almost ready. Here are the details of the workshop:

DATE: Saturday July 13

TIME: 12 Noon to 5:00 pm

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

COST: $28 (my downline $23)

BRING A FRIEND: $23 (get $5 off your fee if you bring a friend (new to my workshop) – guest pays $28)

Cost of the workshop includes the following: All materials (except adhesive) to make 5 projects, Lunch and Door Prizes

PLEASE RSVP BY: JULY 10. Even you’re not 100% sure that you can make it, please let me know that you are thinking about it.  I’d rather be prepared and make extra kits than to have to make kits at the last minute.  REMEMBER if you can’t make it to the workshop, but want the projects, you can buy the pre-prepped kits @ $3.50 each BUT I need to know your choices by July 10.  Thanks for your cooperation!

Please remember to bring your Stamping Workshop Kit. I provide everything you will need to make the projects (cardstock, DSP, embellishments, ribbon, ink pads, blocks, punches, scissors, paper cutter, bone folder, pierce mat, except adhesive.  We don’t use all these adhesives every time, but it’s a good idea to have them in your kit. This includes, Mono Multipurpose Liquid Glue (w/green lid), Snail, Dimensionals (large & small), Glue Dots, Tear & Tape, and Fine Tip Glue Pen. If it is your first time to my workshop, or are a new stamper and don’t have these items, I will provide them for you at no charge.

If you feel more comfortable using your own tools such as scissors, foam stamping mat, blocks, bone folder, tool picker, please feel free to bring them in your stamping kit. Makes sure you label all your personal items as things get mixed up as our creative juices get flowing.

 

Here are pictures of the projects I’ve planned for next Saturday:

 

This picture does absolutely no justice to this stunning card. Actually it’s one of the easiest card to make. I know it looks complicated but it’s really easy. I LOVE the color combination.

Royal Peacock Bundle

Noble Peacock Specialty Designer Series Paper

Noble Peacock Rhinestones

Pacific Point 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock

Pacific Point Classic Stampin' Pad

Old Olive 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock

 

 

This card won a contest at Amy’s Business meeting. Done by Diane Garvin, and so beautiful. It’s so soft and eye catching. Thank you Diane.

Product List – Birds on a Branch Card

Free As A Bird Bundle

Pool Party 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock

Crumb Cake 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock

 

 

 

I’ve always liked the contrast between these colors. This is another sample of a super easy card. With a few cuts, punches, and a stamp look what you can make. Love the DSP in the Bird Ballad suite.

Product List – Magnolia Happy Birthday

 

Magnolia 3D Embossing Folder

Mossy Meadow 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock

Happy Birthday Workshop Recap – July Workshop

Posted on by Annabelle's Stamping Studio

Recap!

June 22 Happy Birthday Workshop

 

We had such a wonderful time on Saturday at the June workshop.  I want to give a special shout out to Carol Rodriguez and Lani Razo who made my birthday extra special.  They brought a wonderful Nothing Bundt Cake, balloons and gifts.  I’m a very blessed girl and we all had such a fun time. Thank you all for such a fun day.  Here are a few pictures of the projects we made.

 

 

Loving this Piece of Cake stamp set. Doesn’t it make you want you to have a piece of cake? Super Cute!
A little unlikely combo. Sail Away DSP and the new Daisy Lane stamp set. Love it!

 

 

I shared photos of the other cards we made in the last post.  We really had a great time working with the new medium daisy punch (it’s super cute) and of course I love stripes and polka dots in the card above.  The Piece of Cake card above was also fun to make by adding the tag which could also be attached with removable tape so that the recipient can use the tag as a bookmark.

Here are some pictures of the bundt cake, balloons and my workshop birthday celebration:

 

Ha Ha, one day a year, It’s all about me!
Stamping besties! Barbara, Monica, Janet, Melanie, Lani

 

 

My stamping besties! Janet, Melanie, Carol, Lani, Monica

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.

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

Show Your Love Workshop (1/19/19) Recap

Posted on by Annabelle's Stamping Studio

Workshop Recap

 

In case you weren’t able to make it to the workshop on the 19th here are the projects we made.  We had so much fun.  I wanted to use a little more challenging bundles Forever Lovely and Meant To Be.  While these bundles are a little more challenging, they are meant to allow you to make some amazing projects. You just need to learn to use them one time and you’ll be hooked!

I took the most designs from our 2019 Occasions Catalog.  I wanted to make Valentine’s Day cards and incorporate all occasion cards as well.  I think I was able to do that.  Look at the beautiful colors and the great embellishments I used.  So delicate and pretty.

When I say that these bundles are challenging, that is true but only to a certain extent.  If you know how to properly use the Framelits, Thinlits and Edgelits, they’re pretty easy to use. Take a close look at these projects and let me know if you need help using the bundles.  Once you have made your own projects with them, send them to me and I will post them on my Blog.

 

 

This beautiful Happy Birthday card was so easy to make.  I used the Forever Lovely stamp set for the flowers in the middle and the Happy Birthday word stamp from All That You Are set.  I accented it with All My Love DSP, All My Love Ribbon and the leaves and sprigs were die cut out of the Lovely Flowers Edgelits Dies in Soft Sea Foam card stock. I colored the epoxy accents with the Lovely Lipstick Blends pen. I used Whisper White card stock and Flirty Flamingo card stock which made the card pop!

 

 

 

This card is featured in our Occasions Catalog on page 3.  I liked it so much I didn’t have to change it much.  I need so many birthday card and this one especially is so pretty with all the different colors.  I used the All That You Are stamp set and the matching Frosted Bouquet Framelits Dies to cut out the flowers. I used our new color Balmy Blue card stock as well as Balmy Blue ink.  I love that color.  It’s such a perfect blue and so versatile.  I made the ribbon with Night of Navy medium Bakers Twine. Did you notice the Vellum? It’s kind of subtle but adds such a nice accent.  This one was a big hit at the workshop.

 

 

How pretty and elegant is this card? While I have to admit this card need a little TLC while lining up the corner dies, the end result is so pretty. I again used the Forever Lovely Bundle for stamps and Edgelits but I kept the continunity of the card with the All My Love DSP, All My Love ribbon and All My Love cardstock. I especially like the rose on the top left of the center piece of the card.  It’s an Edgelits Die what you put on the corner and it cuts around it and the end result is the rose ends up being a part of the card.  How cool is that?  It’s very easy and so pretty.  I love it.

 

 

This card is also featured in the Occasions Catalog on page 4 along with the card above.  Again, I used the Forever Lovely Bundle and all the All My Love Suite of product.  I used Lovely Lipstick color for the roses and dauber technique behind the die cut flowers.  Did you notice how the Edgelits not only cut out the flowers but it also embosses on the edges.  So unique and pretty.  I love the versatility of the All My Love DSP.  I used it on each of these cards and didn’t have to duplicate any of the paper.  One of my new favorite colors is Granny Apple Green, which I used on the leaves.  Soft Sea Foam is a keeper color.  It’s so pretty and unique and not over powering at all.  It adds just the right touch of color with the sprigs. A little secret, I’m giving this one to my husband for Valentine’s Day. I’m not giving anything away as I know he’s on my mailing list for my Blog, but I know he doesn’t read the entire post! Ha!

 

 

This last card was super easy yet I think it looks like it’s super fussy.  I use the amazing new Lace Dynamic TIEF.  I didn’t even spray it with water before I ran it thought the Big Shot, and look at the dynamic impression it made.  On this card I used the Meant To Be Bundle.  The big take away from this bundle are these cool Framelits Dies.  Not only are they hearts but there are a few stitched hearts and bunched hearts and hearts, hearts, hearts! There are 16 dies total in the set and they can be used to make a variety of cards, not only Valentine’s Day cards.  You can get really creative with this bundle.  I used Calypso Coral and our new Grapefruit Grove cardstock to put this card together.  I added a pop of color with the yellow (Daffodil Delight) rose. I used the Calypso Coral Blends to color the clear epoxy accents.

SHOW YOUR LOVE – WORKSHOP

Posted on by Annabelle's Stamping Studio

FIRST WORKSHOP OF 2019!

 

Can you believe it’s already 2019? It’s crazy! Well we must start the New Year out right by gathering for our very first stamping and paper crafting workshop.  I want to share a little bit about what we’re going to go over at the workshop and what we’ll be working on.  First, I want to welcome my first recruit of 2019! Darshana Patel.  Some of you know Darsh from past workshops. She told me she’s had a real desire to be a hobby demonstrator for a while and finally decided to take the plunge.  Join me in welcoming Darsh.  Hopefully she’ll be able to make it to the workshops in 2019.

The next big announcement is the all new 2019 Occasions Catalog and our annual Sale-a-Bration promotion! Everyone who attends the workshop on January 19, will get their copies of each catalog.  If you can’t make it to the workshop, please contact me and I will get you your copies right away. The Occasions Catalog runs from January 3, 2019 to June 30, 2019.  Sale-a-Bration runs from January 3, 2019 to March 31, 2019. The highlight of the two is of course Sale-a-Bration.  Why? Because you earn FREE product and you can earn in 3 different ways. 1) For every $50 you spend (retail w/o s&t) you earn free product from the Sale-a-Bration Brochure. 2) When you Host your own workshop ($150 or more) you earn your hostess dollars AND Sale-a-Bration product as well. 3) When you Join My Team you earn $50 more product in your kit. Another great thing is, we now have 2 levels to give you more choices. The selection this year is versatile and Stampin’ Up! has given us a greater variety to choose from. Don’t miss out on this annual promotion, you won’t be disappointed. Visit my website through this post and you can see the catalogs online!

“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!
