Online Ordering is Here!!

Online ordering from Stampin' UP! is here. To order online 24/7 from Stampin' UP!

If you go through my demo website you will receive the best prices on merchandise and "stamping rewards", which is the online version of hostess benefits. You will also receive the best shipping prices (same as a workshop order).

Another way you can order is through Stampinup.com and their website. You would need to put in my name as your demonstrator to still get regular prices from the catalog and good shipping rates. You will not be eligible for "stamping rewards" on a $150 0r more order through this route. You do not want to go through stampinup.com and not choose a demonstrator. You will pay higher prices for merchandise and get higher shipping costs as well. And you won't allow your demonstrator the opportunity to benefit from your sales to help her business grow.
So share the Stampin' UP! name with anyone you know and pass along my business website address and let them know that along with being able to place an order day or night, they will also get great customer service from me and additional tips and ideas to use their product. I am excited about this opportunity.

http://alessandrareyes.stampinup.net/ is my business website address. Click on the Shop Now button on the top right side of the welcome page just under my contact info. Thanks.

Brag About Mom* Book Summary *or someone else special

Well I decided to have my first ever scrapbooking class. I am not much of a scrapbooker but love these brag books.

This brag book is a true gift from the heart for so many occasions such as; Father's Day, Grandparent's Day, Mother's Day, Birthdays, Anniversaries, Graduations, Retirement, Bridal & Baby Showers, favorite travel trip, Thank you gifts, Weddings, or Teacher Appreciation gifts. Gather a group of people together where each person makes a page of the brag book. What a fun and memorable party or group activity.

In this class you will make:

A 5" x 7" brag book and a coordinating card all created with Designer Series Paper, On Board Book Basics, One of a Kind stamp set, punches and more! This project uses a fun color combination that can swing from traditional to trendy! Mom will love this special tribute! You will find that you can recreate this project in many themes and color palates.

Recipe Class

The Recipe class was great. On Saturday, I had 4 girlfriends come over and make these great tins. They loved them so much they wanted another class. They helped each other and we all learned new tips. Some made the box for recipes and others for photos. It was great to see everyone unique taste.

Stay tuned to see details of my next class.

Upcoming Mother's Day Class - Recipe Lunchbox

Several of my friends loved the lunchboxes I have and wanted to make them too, so I designed this Recipe Box using the Summer Picnic Designer Paper from the Occasions Mini Catalog. I think this paper is so cute and retro. Inside I added coordinating Tabs using The Kitchen of Stamp set stamped on tabs from the Tab Punch.

Hope they like it as I had fun making it.

Playing with the Sale-A-Bration Rub-Ons

Hi everyone:

Yesterday I decided to try the SU Sale-A-Bration Rub-Ons and I had fun with them. I do suggest cutting out the piece you want to use as they are verys sticky. To highlight the imgae I sponged bashful blue and I think it made it pop.

TGIF

I am so happy today is Friday. I have been very busy at work and have had no time nor energy to stamp or work on my blog. Hopefully I will stamp all weekend long and have many new items to post on my blog and share with you. I am also preparing my next upcoming classes, they are beautiful if I say so. Stay tuned.

Happy Easter

Happy Easter

These are some cute little Easter Baskets I made for a 3-D swap at the SBSstampers Spring Fling. These were inspired by Leslie Miller's blog - Running with Scissors. I used the new Spring Fling Designer Paper, scalloped circle punch, circle 1 1/4 punch and pink brads from the Soft Subtles family. I filled them some chocolates as every lady nice a liitle chocolate.

I will photograph the items I received in that swap later and post them here as well as the cards I received yesterday during our all day swap.

I love swaps and I love participating in new swaps. Know any new great and fun swaps?

I also love receiving cards.

I have my own Blog!!!

After being a fan of so many other stamping blogs, I decided to create my own blog to share my ideas, projects and make new stamping friends.

It will be a work in progress for awhile until I upload all the content. So please bear with me.

If you have any suggestions, please e-mail as I need help.

Thanks for reading.
