FREE Shipping + 25% OFF from ME! (12/11 ONLY)

I celebrated my 25th anniversary with Stampin' Up! in August, and to celebrate, I am offering an additional 25% OFF on December 11th ONLY, as a personal offer. I'm basically giving you my commission on your orders, to piggyback onto the Free Shipping promotion that Stampin' Up! is offering, which is a HECK of a deal!
(this offer is only available through Kimberley Morris, Stampin' Up! Independent Demonstrator)

Here are the Rules:
1) you MUST contact me directly and place your order with a credit card.
(do NOT include payment details in your email, I will call you for those)

2) REPLY to this email with the list of items you want to order, including the name of the item, the ordering number, and the price.
(searching in my Online Store is the fastest way to find this information)

3) include your phone number in your email, and I will call you back to finalize, between the hours of 9am and 9pm Mountain Time on December 11th.
(if there are specific times you know you will be unavailable, please let me know)

I will also need the address where you would like your order shipped, so the appropriate amount of tax gets calculated. By emailing me all this information, it gives me the opportunity to input your order and have a total available for you when I call for your payment information. That way, we aren't playing phone tag or staying on the phone for unnecessary amounts of time.

Now, if you have questions before you decide what you want to order, by all means DO give me call at 719-205-5957 so I can help you with whatever information I might have. Please just call and leave ONE message for me to call back if I don't answer, and I will get to you as soon as possible.

IMPORTANT: I am unable to extend the 25% OFF deal to you through my Online Store. I am not offering any refunds to reflect this discount after the fact. The only way I can give you this special offer is if you follow the steps outlined above!!!

Disclaimer: My discount does not cover applicable tax; you are responsible for the tax due on the full amount of your order.

Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop - Foil and Glimmer

Welcome to the December 2019 Edition of the Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop! You'll see projects from around the world--but I'm in Colorado Springs, Colorado. (Note: I can only sell to customers in the US, so any prices are in USD)

We generally hop the first Friday of each month, and our theme for today is Foil and Glimmer! My project today once again features products from the 2019 Holiday Catalog!
{you'll find all Product Purchase Links below the Blog Roll near the bottom of the post!}

WOW...ever have one of those days when *nothing* seems to go right?? I was fine until I sat down to get this blog post ready! Then, every time I went to use a program or a tool, it needed to be updated before it would work right, or I just couldn't find the darn thing!!! Aaaaaaarrrrgggghhhh...! I think there's some sort of metaphysical law that states you have to have at least one of those days every year, so at least mine is out of the way now.

I'm not great at glitzy-type cards, so this was a little outside my wheelhouse. I borrowed some elements that were prepared by a fellow demonstrator for a Make & Take card at an OnStage Pre-Party in Las Vegas last month, and I swapped some pieces in and some pieces out. The original card had gold on it, but I prefer silver with blue, so I changed the layout a bit.

First, I cut away a bit of the foliage from the Bermuda Bay frame, and just left the snowflakes. Then, I "painted" over a few of the snowflakes on the frame design with Clear Wink of Stella, and put a Basic Rhinestone in the center of each. On the Very Vanilla die cut snowflakes, I added tiny dots of Shimmery Crystal Effects in several places, and then adhered a shiny silver circle from the Snowflake Sequins.

To finish it off, I added a few more pieces from the Snowflake Sequins against the shiny blue Noble Peacock Foil Sheet. Both the Foil Sheet, as well as the Pool Party Cardstock layer, were run through a cut/emboss machine with the Swirls and Curls Embossing Folder to get that cool flurry-looking pattern.

TIP: you can use the Shimmery Crystal Effects to glue on your Snowflake Sequins!

Stampin' Supplies: Frosted Foliage BUNDLE, Very Vanilla Cardstock, Pool Party Cardstock, Bermuda Bay Cardstock, Pretty Peacock Ink Pad, Swirls and Curls Embossing Folder, Noble Peacock Foil Sheets, Clear Wink of Stella, Shimmery Crystal Effects, Basic Rhinestones, Snowflake Sequins, Mini Glue Dots, Mini Stampin' Dimensionals, Paper Snips, Grid Paper, Stampin' Trimmer (to cut and score cardstock).
