Last SAB Card
Big Shot - Card
The DSP is from the Raspberry Tart Designer Series Paper (DSP) and measures 1 1/2" x 4". I use my Wide Oval Punch to cut out a oval from Rose Red Card Stock. Then using Kiwi Kiss Card Stock I used the Sweetest Stem Embosslit Die. The Embosslits dies measure 2 1/4" x 2 1/2". These chemically etched dies include a positive and negative image that allows simultaneous cutting and embossing. Embosslits can cut though card stock and designer series paper.

Occasions Mini Catalog
Above you can see I used the Scallop Oval Punch and Kiwi Kiss Card Stock. I stamped Best Wishes from the Oval All Stamp Set in Basic Black ink on Rose Red Card Stock and then used my Large Oval Punch to punch it out.
And Here's the whole card!
What do you think?
I used the Raspberry Tart Designer Series Paper for bottom of the card and for the Butterfly. I'm sure from prior post you can guess the butterfly was made using my Big Shot and the Beautiful Butterflies Bigz Die. The ribbon is Whisper White Ribbon Organza and I used half pearls from the pretties kit.
This was a very fun card to make. . . let me know if you have any questions . . . and thank you for stopping by today. I truly appreciate you stopping by!

Card Clubs are forming NOW!!!
Currently I plan on offering clubs on the:
3rd Tuesday
3rd Wednesday
All clubs will be at my home in Galesburg and will run from 6:30pm - 8pm.
As with the current sessions these clubs will run for 10 months, so that everyone has a turn to be hostess. Each month you'll stamp 5 cards. The only cost you will have is to order $15 in merchandise each month, and one month you'll supply refreshments. At the end of the club you will have made 50 cards. . if you think the average card you purchase at the store is $3-4 you'll be saving yourself at least $150.00.
If you have any questions, or to sign up, please call or e-mail me.
I hope to hear from you soon!

St. Patrick's Day Surprise!
May is national scrapbooking month, but as I looked at my calendar to try to schedule a scrapbooking class I couldn't find a date that would work for me, and I thought a lot of people would have graduation conflicts. . . so, I have decided to hold a scrapbooking event in April.
RSVP by 5pm on Friday, April 3rd
I hope you can come to this 6 x 6 scrapbook/brag book event. Brag Books are wonderful ways to scrapbook a special occasion like a new baby, birthday or even a wedding! They also make wonderful gifts. Who wouldn't love a pre-made scrapbook!
Monsanto has a wonderful conference room, where everyone can spread out and work. Your registration of $45 covers the cost of your scrapbook and scrapbook kit. I will also provide a scrapbook template that will help get you started on your scrapbook.
This stamp set is NEW and Unmounted and will be awarded to the winner on April 19th . . . Good Luck!

Three Easy Payments for the Starter Kit
For a limited-time Stampin' Up! is offering you a Three Easy Payments option for purchasing the Starter Kit. In these challenging economic times, it's easy to consider the up-front cost of signing up to be a Stampin' Up! demonstrator a financial barrier. In an effort to assist you we're trying out the Three Easy Payments option.
The Three Easy Payments option allows a you to make a partial initial Starter Kit payment and still receive the Starter Kit right away in order to get her business up and running.
If you are concerned about the up-front cost, or simply like the idea of paying for the starter kit over 3 months you'll want to act now to take advantage of both the Sale-A-Bration Starter Kit discount and the Three Easy Payments option! That's two great financial benefits on top of an additional stamp set free from the current catalog.
How it Works
You'll need to contact me to fill out her Starter Kit form and other paperwork, because this option is not available Online.
On or around the 15th day of the two months following the month Stampin' Up! received the paperwork, Stampin' Up! will charge the subsequent payments using the same credit card information provided on the Three Easy Payments form, and the Starter Kit will be paid in full.
To qualify for the Three Easy Payments option on the discounted Sale-A-Bration Starter Kit price of $169, Starter Kit paperwork and an accompanying Three Easy Payments form must be received by Stampin' Up! (not postmarked) on or before March 31, 2009. Paperwork received after this time will be processed for the regular Starter Kit price of $199.
After Sale-A-Bration, to qualify for the Three Easy Payments option on the regular Starter Kit price of $199, Starter Kit paperwork and an accompanying Three Easy Payments form must be received by Stampin' Up! (not postmarked) on or before April 30, 2009. Any Three Easy Payments forms received after this time will not be processed. Demonstrator Support will contact the recruit to determine how she would like to proceed.
Any applicable state taxes will be charged with the first Starter Kit payment. (The full amount of taxes applicable to the total Starter Kit amount will be added to the first payment. No taxes will be applied to the second and third payments.)
For recruits who wish to add the Stampin' Memories Starter Kit add-on for $50.00, this full amount (including any applicable taxes for the add-on) will be added to their initial Starter Kit payment.
Any commissions for the demonstrator will be held until the final Starter Kit payment is successfully completed. At that point, Stampin' Up! will release commissions to the demonstrator. In the event that the second or third payment is unsuccessful, Stampin' Up! will satisfy the payment from the demonstrator's commissions and if necessary continue to hold commissions until the full Starter Kit payment is satisfied. Any remaining funds will then be released to the demonstrator.

Payment 1 (charged at time kit is entered) $56.34 (+ sales tax)

Kathy used the Top Note Big Shot Bigz Die and the Serif Essentials Alphabet. To decorate it she used the Yummy Sale-a-bration stamp set and Raspberry Tart Designer Paper.
