We've been trying to think outside the box-well, the rectangle that is. And we've found a great alternative to the plain postcard-shaped postcards! 

We are happy to introduce you to some new 5" x 7" and 7" x 5" professional print options: the scallop and artisan postcards.

Gorgeous, right? 

Just update your software, and you'll have access to these new shape options-perfect for wedding invitations, birth announcements, holiday cards, or every day greetings. 

Don't forget, our postcards are double-sided, so we'll print on the back for you, too. You'll also notice new bleed areas in your menu so that you can design your card with the end result in mind. 

Then, when you're ready to order, just select the shape you want in the ordering options.

Cards start at $2.25 and regular bulk discounts apply.

2nd Place

How exciting ..... first time entry into the State Fair, and I got 2nd Place !! Yippee !!    I was so excited that my necklace entry in the State Fair got a 2nd Place Ribbon. There were so many nice entries.   Wish they would have displayed it better. Someone asked me if its for sale, I had to think about that.  I guess for the right price it is, otherwise it's going in a shadow box with the 2nd Place Ribbon.

And the winner is....

The winner of the mystery hostess:
ALLISON
Congratulations Allison! I'll will get in touch with you so you can let me know what FREE PRODUCTS  from Stampin' Up! you'd like

Made 3 of these last night before I lost my lighting, plan to do more so I can make a bracelet and earrings.  These beaded stars are so small but so cute!   That one color looks like black, its really a green!

Wow...I just haven't been posting lately!   I've been busy making things for the Leander Craft Show (my first craft  show, kinda nervous about that!)   I've also been busy with my beading, love to bead! So I saw this cute box on another website and thought it was so cute, so I made one for Christmas cards. using the Stampin" Up! note cards.  They fit so nicely in this box with a belly band.  I have 4 cards with envelops in here. Thinking of making more of them to sell at the craft show.

SU Envelop Punch !

Item	Description	Price
133774	Envelope Punch Board	$19.95

Available September 1, 2013.

It creates totally customizable envelopes in up to 66 different sizes (not to mention a million different color and pattern options depending on the paper you want to use). Even tried and true envelope sizes will only take you moments to create! It's super easy to use; it will go over as a huge wow when you demonstrate it at your events and your customers see it in action. It looks intimidating at first glance, but when they see that all you have to do is measure for the first punch and from there you just turn and score they'll go crazy (in a good way). It's small and lightweight; this makes it easy for you to take it to your events and show it. It's also a great selling point when you show your customers how it's super portable and easy to store. It's small and light enough that they could use it while watching a soccer match, at a park, at a friend's for craft night-anywhere. It even has a slick scoring tool as well as a punch that lets you create rounded corners on your envelopes. It's easy to keep it all together; the stylus storage compartment and two punches are designed into the tool so you don't have a bunch of little pieces to keep track of (even the instructions are printed right on the tool so you won't lose them!). The price is terrific-especially for a tool that does so much! It will be in next year's annual catalog, so it's here to stay.
