Owl Punch Extravaganza


I am BEYOND excited!!!!  Today is July 1st and kicks off my hostess month for my monthly Stampin Up Card Club:  The Queen's House of Cards. Of course I intend to celebrate and YOU can join in on the fun!!!

Each day for 20 days I will post a new card featuring Stampin Up's Owl Punch... you won't believe all the things you can make with this baby!!!!  Then, on July 29th when I close my party, the person who placed the largest order using my hostess code will receive ALL 20 CARDS!!!  Here's the fun:

YOU CAN PARTICIPATE FROM RIGHT AT HOME!!!!  ALL YOU NEED IS TO PLACE AN ORDER USING MY HOSTESS CODE:  UCUFWPDU

Simply go to StampinUp.com and click on "store" at the top.  Place the items you'd like to order in the shopping cart and input the hostess code where provided to get full credit for your purchase.

THE BEST PART:  You won't have to wait to receive your order.  Your order will ship to you within two business days!!!  No more waiting for a show to "close" to get your goodies.  THIS is instant gratification.

And if you REALLY want to win the 20 cards for yourself, feel free to contact The Queen herself in her store (click HERE) to check on the status of order amounts.  She won't share names, she will only share the largest amount ordered so you can put yourself in the winning position.  Good luck everyone and here's card #1!

Of course it features Stampin Up's Owl Punch.  This card was inspired by Linda's card over at Crafty Distraction.  I LOVE the simplicity of this card, but with real POW from the sentiment.  The sentiment was stamped using Stampin Up's Early Espresso ink.  The stamps I used were Kraftin Kimmie's Sassy Sentiments along with CTMH's You Rock.  All the papers came from my scrap paper stash.  I used Spellbinder's Label's 28 die that I then inked with Stampin Up's Crumb Cake ink to distress the edges.  I finished it off with a little metal bling from Best Occasions.  This card just could not have been more simple!!!  But be sure to tune in throughout July because some of these cards are downright intricate with all the AWESOME things you can do with this punch.  Honestly, I've have been having a BLAST and I hope you will too!!!!

Past 7 Days....

RIP My Friend

I think this is what drowning feels like.  I lost a friend yesterday.  And I'm afraid that I am just having a very hard time finding the words to express what the world lost.  I'm having a hard time KNOWING she's gone.  I just can't believe that Trisha Giallella died yesterday. I've known Trish for a large chunk of my life; she was the sister of my sister's ex husband. But for all the years that I knew her, I never REALLY knew her until very recently.  Oh sure, over the years I would listen in awe at all her stories.... stories of making movies in Hollywood, the wild parties and dating Rick James.  To a young girl of 15, those stories seemed like something from TV itself and far removed from my own piddly little life.  The fact that she even shared her stories with me sent me into a stuper.  I always had stars in my eyes when I listened to Trish talk, she was so glamorous and very, very tough... very passionate and good at "living".  I...

How to Upload Gypsy Cut Files To Your Gypsy

Well... Today was the big day for the Provo Craft Gypsy! Provo Craft FINALLY provided the Cricut Design Studio compatibility and now we also have the added benefit of sharing Gypsy cut files... but it was at a price. I will get to that in a later post. In honor of this occasion though, I will be adding my Gypsy cut files to my blog for everyone to use. You will find my cut files in the top right corner of my blog marked *NEW (at the top of the side bar). The instructions on how to download at the bottom of this post. I hope you all enjoy them... they've been a long time coming. The featured pic here is the "welded Snow" file. It turned out BEAUTIFUL! DOWNLOAD INSTRUCTIONS For those of you who already own the Gypsy, here are the instructions. There is no conversion needed because these files are only .gypsy files. To save them: 1.) Connect your gypsy to your computer, turn it on and open Gypsy Sync on your computer. 2.) Once the Gypsy Sync Program has searched for an updat...

Maple Syrup vs. Honey

I did a post a while back about the nutritious sweetener for the lemonade on the Master Cleanse: maple syrup ! In fact, for quite some time now it has been my only sweetner (well, that and agave nectar... YUM!). But why maple syrup... isn't honey the magical sweetener? First, let's consider where both come from. One comes from a tree and the other comes from flowers, but is predigested and then regurgitated by a bee. Can you guess which is which??? hahahaha ! Really though, just the idea that an insect's already digested nectar from a flower lends to the idea that the nectar is already devoid of nutrients when it's vomited back up. Isn't that the whole point of digestion? To pull the nutrients from whatever it is you have ingested. So is it safe to say that honey is a bi product ? Or even a waste material? I would certainly call MY vomit a waste material... what about you? But beyond the gross visual I now have in my head of honey, I also have a real concern about ...
