Flying High on Cloud NIne!

Boy, was it a fun 24 hours! Well, really a little more than like 36. Last weekend was Stampin' UP's OnStage events. I attend the one in Atlanta Ga. with 3 of my team. Go Dixie Star Stampers! I also had the privilege of attending Centre Stage for the first time.  It was just awesome. We received all sorts of free product from the new 2018-2019 annual catalog, we heard from the Founder of Stampin' Up Shelli Gardner and her daughter, Sara, who is the current CEO. We were inspired by the amazing changes coming soon and the accomplishments of many of our fellow demonstrators. I even walked the stage for my promotion to Silver Elite! Go CeCe! I was thrilled to have Jewel, Pamela, and Kim there with me.

We enjoyed swapping cards with other demonstrators, make and takes, and being the first to see and have a copy of the new catalog! I love some of the new products. I am sad to see some of our favorites retiring to make way for the new. I'm thrilled some of my old faithfuls are still here. Change is never easy but can be a really good thing. If you were going to change something in your life, what would it be? Besides my waist being smaller and my house being cleaner (a hopeless task) I would share the Stampin' Up opportunity with a lot more people. I love what I do and it's fun! Yes, it is a job and I do work, don't think otherwise, however, creating wonderful cards, memory books and home decor paper crafts is fun. Not to mention all the truly amazing people I have had the privilege of meeting and spending time together. What a blessing!
I have a lot more to share later. Thursday will be the Stampin' Friends Blog Hop so check back! Be blessed and be a blessing!
                                                    Love stamping in Dixie,

Another DSP idea!

So, I'm on a mission to use my beautiful Designer Series Paper instead of hoarding it. Today's project is a quick look at how to get 9 card layers from one sheet of 12x12 paper.

The Myths and Magic Specialty paper (145600) is awesome. Each piece has a shiny or embossed image on it. I wanted to use it for a set of cards for my grand daughter. By cutting the paper into 4 inch squares, then cutting them on then diagonal I was able to make some cute cards for her set. Here's my sample and how I cut the DSP. Isn't this cute?
It looks like I cut the paper 4" by 5 1/4", but I didn't. I cut the paper in 4" squares. Next, I place them on my paper trimmer with opposite corners over the cutting line and the corners on 1 inch like in this picture. See the top and bottom corners are each on the 1 inch line on each side of the cutting track.
This gives you a piece that can then be layered on
your 4" x 5 1/4" layer on your card front.
Here's a picture of the two pieces on a piece of graph paper to give you an idea of the placement. I used a Whisper White layer so I could stamp my saying in the middle. Then I stamped the mermaid from Magical Day Stamp set (145854) on Whisper White and punched it out with the 1 3/4" circle punch. I colored the Mermaid with the Stampin' Blends and layered it on a 2" circle punch of another DSP from Bubbles and Fizz. It coordinated perfectly since Lemon-Lime Twist is in both papers.
I popped the circles on some dimensionals and done! I love cute, quick, and easy!

This is a fun and whimsical bundle to help create really cute projects. I love the coordination of matching paper, stamp set framelits, and even washi tape! The Bundle with the Designer Series Paper will qualify for a Sale-A-Bration items. You can get the Myths and Magic 6 x 6 Glimmer paper to go with it for free. Think of all the cards you can create with just these three products!

Maybe you want a little more than you should purchase at the moment- host a workshop, online party or even better- sign up as a Dixie Stamp stamper before the end of March and you will get your stamping kit, a 125.00 of product, plus two extra free stamp sets of your choice for 99.00 and free shipping. Then you will always be able to purchase great coordinating products with at least a 20% discount. Who wants to pay full price? Or maybe you see the value in this offer and want to earn an income and build a business. It is definitely possible and it's also work, but it's amazing fun at the same time. Check out join the fun! I'm here to help anyway I can. Hope to hear from you soon. God bless and go bless those around you.

Love stamping in Dixie,

Cindy

Happy Bosses Day!

Good morning! Another Monday and another celebration. Yep, today is Bosses Day! I kind of thought everyday was "Bosses Day"? Don't get me wrong I have the best boss ever. She can a be a slave-driver, very demanding, definitely a procrastinator and at times the most unorganized person I know. Other things I know about her: She loves the Lord Jesus Christ, she loves her family unconditionally, she enjoys meeting new people, loves to travel to new places, loves to laugh, bake and create! Today I think I will schedule her a massage, give her time for a nap and I may even clean her house! Yes, I have an awesome boss!
Well, If you haven't guessed by now, I am my own boss! One of the wonderful advantages of Stampin' Up! I am my own boss. I love that! I sent my schedule,

I love that for 99.00 plus tax, you can own your own business! So yes, today is a blatant commerical for joining my team, Dixie Star Stampers! Then, you can be your own boss!
