Trick or Treat Mini Muslin Bags

Posted on October 14, 2013 by Linda Tolson Yarbrough

Oh boy, I had a wonderful weekend — not only did I get to spend time in my craft room putting stamps to ink to paper, I got ENGAGED, saw a really great move (Gravity), I spent the day at the State Fair of Texas on Sunday AND the Dallas Cowboys beat the Washington Redskins!

While in my craft room on Saturday, I made these little treat bags to give to co-workers and family for Halloween.  My fingers and nails were stained from all the inking of the muslin bags but it was so much fun.

Here are the products I used to create these little treat bags (which eventually will be filled with delicious chocolates and other sweet treats):

Very Vanilla Card Stock
Tags 4 You Stamp Set (clear-mount) (wood-mount)
Basic Gray Classic Stampin’ Pad
Tangerine Tango Classic Stampin’ Pad
Rich Razzleberry Classic Stampin’ Pad
Old Olive Classic Stampin’ Pad
Sponge Daubers
Witches’ Brew Designer Washi Tape
Epic Day This and That Designer Washi Tape
Big Shot
Chalk Talk Framelits
3/4″ Basic Black Chevron Ribbon
Mini Muslin Bags
Bracket Label Punch
Snail Adhesive
Stampin’ Dimensionals

And here are close-ups of each bag:

Thanks for stopping by for a visit.  I hope you will come back soon.  And invite all of your friends too!

Until next time, stamp on my friends,

In With You – Monstermaniacs

Posted on October 10, 2013 by Linda Tolson Yarbrough

In With You

Stampin’ Up! created a way for you to help them design and choose new stamp sets — In with You (beta program).  The Stampin’ Up! artists have no shortage of stamp set ideas, but this contest gives us a chance to innovate with our customers in a social media setting — and get your perspective and endorsement before the set is available.  The In with You program is currently open to anyone (demonstrators, customers, etc.) in the United States and Canada, including District of Columbia, APO/FPO and Puerto Rico (but not Québec).  So spread the word!

Once you join the Stampin’ Up! In with You online community, you can submit your original artwork for stamp set challenges, vote and comment on other people’s submissions, earn badges, and interact with others in the community.  Stampin’ Up! will produce and sell one or more stamp sets from among the top-voted submissions in each challenge.  Plus there are fabulous prizes for top designs.  For more information, submission guidelines, terms and conditions, and to participate, visit the In with You website.

Here is the newest stamp set being offered by Stampin’ Up! which was designed by Doris D.:

Monstermaniacs 2

Release your inner artist and get designing!

Thanks for stopping by.  Come back again to see what else I have to share with you.

Until next time, stamp on my friends,

Thank You Thursday from Stampin’ Up!

Posted on October 10, 2013 by Linda Tolson Yarbrough

I’m posting this entry from a DART train as I am on my way to work in downtown Dallas so I apologize for the lack of fancy images 🙂

Last week Stampin’ Up! announced that each Thursday in October they will offer a select number of products at a discount, but that they were only discounted for one day only – Thursday – and they are only while supplies last!

Why, you may ask? Stampin’ Up! reached a milestone on their new blog — 250 posts — and they want to celebrate with you!

Check out today’s Thank You Thursday offering of selected Designer Series Paper.

Thanks again for stopping by. I’ll have more for you later today.

Until next time, stamp on my friends,
Linda

Best of 25 Years – Best of Christmas

Posted on October 6, 2013 by Linda Tolson Yarbrough

 

The new Best of 25 Years Stamp Set — Best of Christmas — was released on October 1.

Best of 25 - October

Best Of Christmas Clear-Mount Stamp Set
Item # 134384 / $14.95

With each new “Best of” stamp set there is one never before released stamp.  The newbie in this collection is the Merry Christmas ornament which just happens to coordinate with the new Christmas Ornament Punch offered in the Holiday Catalog.  (Coincidence?  I think not – I just love coordinating stamps and punches!)

Are you as pleased as I am to see the return of Dasher!?!

Don’t forget for every six Best Of sets you buy, you can send in your Collectors Card for a FREE set of your choice valued up to $14.95!  (Free set must be redeemed by April 30, 2014.)
