Happy World Card Making Day!

Today, October 4th is World Card Making Day. I wish I had time today to make a whole bunch of cards, but I have to take care of cleaning up outside for the winter, and then I have a birthday and housewarming party to go to. But I hope some of you have time today to make cards!

Stampin' Up has a bunch of new promotions this month, check them out here. The Holiday Mini catalog is also out now too. If you see anything you like, you can order it online directly from me by going to my Stampin' Up website (http://emilykate.stampinup.net/) and click on the "Shop Now" button in the top right side. Your order will be shipped directly to you!

Now that business is taken care of, here's a card I made last night for tonight's birthday party (so, it was already World Card Making Day somewhere in the world!).





I ordered the Owl Together Now set with my demonstrator kit, and then thought it was gonna be really hard to get the owls to sit on the branch, or to have their hats aligned right, so it's been sitting on the side for awhile. I decided to give it a try last night and had a ton of fun. The blocks around the pieces aren't much bigger than the rubber part, so you can definitely see the bottom of what you're stamping to know where to put it. I'm sure I'll be using this set lots now!

Stamps: Owl Together Now (SU)
Ink: Basic Black and Pacific Point (both SU)
Paper: Riding Hood Red, Pacific Point, Whisper White, Urban Garden DSP (all SU)
Other: Scallop Circle punch, 1 3/8" punch, 1 1/4" punch, white gel pen, blender pen (all SU), googly eyes, watercolour pencils, stickles.

Stampin' Up has started offering online ordering through demonstrators.

I love the new stamps!

I love, love, love the way SU has made their new stamps. No more cutting required. All you have to do is push out the stamps (the rubber is die cut around them) and mount them on the blocks. I did like 10 sets that I got last week in about an hour (while watching TV). Only one set I got is the old way, and it's still waiting to be mounted :P

I'm a New Stampin' Up Demonstrator in the Montreal Area

I was waiting to post this until all the paperwork had gone through, and it finally has, so now I can post! I decided to become a Stampin' Up demonstrator a couple weeks ago, and signed up with Heather once the new catalog came out last week.

So, if you are in the Montreal area and are looking for someone to buy your Stampin' Up products (stamps, paper, ink, punches, etc), send me an email. I live on the South Shore, but work downtown, and also go to the Laurentians and Townships often, so if you are anywhere in the area, feel free to contact me if you want to place an order or host a card workshop with your friends. I can always order products for you and have them shipped directly to you too if you prefer (this applies to anyone living anywhere in Canada). Click here to view the current catalog.

Stampin' Up is also having a sale right now of 15% off several of their new stamp sets. (I'm loving Snow Swirled, Eastern Blooms, Pocket Silhouettes and Upsy Daisy from this promotion). You can view the whole list of sale stamp sets here. Sale ends September 30th.
