You can't buy this


The stamp set, that is. But, you can get it free! Stampin' Up treats its hostesses very well, host a qualifying workshop and you will earn one or more limited edition stamp sets AND hostess credit to buy anything you want from the catalog. Don't want to host a workshop, but still want the goodies? That's okay, too. Place a qualifying order by yourself or show the catalog to a few friends and collect orders from them and you can have the gifts, too.

This is a super simple card that uses only the basics, stamps, ink and paper, and a cardsketch from SUDSOL, a demonstrator site I belong to. Stamps: (Hostess Set) Love Bug. Ink: Stazon Black, Creamy Caramel, Ruby Red and Black markers. Cardstock: Ruby Red, Creamy Caramel, Basic Black and Whisper White. 1", 1 1/4", 1 3/8" and scallop circle punches. Ruby Red and Creamy Caramel are both retiring colors, they are both available now, but supplies may be limited.

I like the card the way it is, but it screams to be stepped up a bit. Tonight I need to make a birthday card for one of my daughters, tomorrow I'll try my hand at stepping up this design. Watch for future posts to see how it turns out!

I was wrong about my internet problems, so I may have limited posting access for a bit. I can email pictures just fine, but every time I try to upload one directly to Blogger I lose my internet connection and have to reset my computer, and often my modem and router. It's very frustrating! If you have any suggestions, please pass them my way!
