Stampin' Up!'s A Brand New Year

REMINDERS: 

Last day of my After Christmas 20% Off Coupon
Don't for get to RSVP for my BIRTHDAY BONANZA Jan 2nd Open House

______________________________________________________________________________

Since my first glance at Stampin' Up!'s 2009 Holiday Mini Catalog, my eyes always seemed to land on the single stamp image "A Brand New Year".  I'm finding that I'm more and more drawn to the "text" style stamps. 

So when I received a swap from my friend Shawn Perez using the stamp, I knew I had to give in and get it!  Take a look:

 

Thanks Shawn!

Supplies uses:  A Brand New Year stamp, Whisper White, Basic Black, Crushed Curry cardstock and ink, Night & Day Specialty Designer Series Paper, Dazzling Diamonds, Big Shot and Top Note, Basic Black 5/8" Grosgrain & 1-1/4" Striped Grosgrain Ribbons 

To all my valued customers, club members, downline, fellow demonstrators and blog readers...Thank you SO much for your support and friendship in 2009.  Have a safe and Happy New Year for 2010! 

~Dawn O

DOdesigner Laurie: Gift Exchange

A while back, we did a gift exchange at my DOstamperSTARS quarterly Team Meeting.  I was the luck recipient of Laurie's gift

She made this fun box filled with lots of adorable holiday gift tags.  Thank you Laurie!

Stamp sets used:  Berry Christmas & Hostess Level One-Holiday Best
The snowflake is from the "Merry Details" Sizzlets Die

 

I think my favorite tag is the punch art cardinal - super cute!

DOdesigner Laurie: Berry Christmas stamp set

I often get asked by my demonstrators (DOstamperSTARS), what should I order out of the mini catalogs?  That can sometimes be a difficult decision to make.  We often want it all, but is that really necessary to run our Stampin' Up! business?  For some demonstrators, it is their hobby, so I advise them to purchase what they like.  For the business minded demonstrator, I suggest purchasing a variety of items so as to showcase a variety of styles. 

From the 2009 Holiday Mini Catalog, I highly recommended the beautiful stamp set "Berry Christmas" and matching accessories (Christmas Cocoa Designer Series Paper, Petals-a-Plenty texture impressions folder, Merry Details sizzlet die & Merry embosslit) found on pg 20-21.  And of course, don't forget to stock up on cardstock and ink to match the designer series paper (Soft Suede and Real Red).  One of my DOstamperSTARS, Laurie Zoellmer, took my advice with her purchases, and made some beautiful projects with it!

I found that I was the recipient of several of her wonderful projects.  So today and tomorrow, I'll be sharing some of her work. 

Isn't this a cute gift card holder? 

The greeting is from the Hostess Level One stamp set:  Christmas Punches
