Hello everyone! Welcome to the August 2009 edition of Inspiration in Your Inbox! I hope to share some inspiration and ideas with you in this edition and bring you up-to-date on all the wonderful new products and offers from me and Stampin' Up!
First, let me say if you don't have a new 2009-2010 Idea Book & Catalog or the New Holiday Mini Catalog (begins September 1st), let me know and I will get one to you ASAP. There is no charge for the catalogs other than a $5 shipping charge (Priority Mail) if it needs to be mailed! Visit my Blog to view the catalogs online (the Holiday Mini won't be available to view until September 1st).
Here's a Sneak Peek at something from the new Holiday Mini Catalog! This adorable card made with the new Wandering Words Stamp Set (there are three stamps in this set -- one for fall, one for Christmas and one for Valentine's Day). You are the first one's to see this little preview! click on any photo to see a larger image.
Here's another little bit of inspiration! Learn how to take this beautiful, yet basic, card, and "Step-it-up" with added layers, dimension and embellishments. Click HERE for the whole story. This will be a new feature on my blog and monthly newsletters that you won't want to miss!
