Workshop
I am doing a workshop this week and my hostess and great friend is an excellent cook. I love her super easy recipes. Personally, I think that Mexican is her best. I thought that it would be a great idea to allow guest to make a recipe card for one of the dishes that Shelia will have at her party.

For the guest that arrive early they will get to make this tag for the yummy treats that the hostess will have. I hope it will be a great workshop.

My new favorite stamp!
I know that this is not a new stamp but it is new to me. I love how people can use stampin up products on more things than paper. I cant wait to show my customers how you can use fabric and the Big Shot together! Still playing....pictures to come.

Client Appreciation Day

Today was the day that I had my client appreciation open house. The gals made a 4th of July card and we made our wish list for the new catalog. Each lady received the water and a cupcake that I put together as a thank you. I even booked a workshop! For all of these projects I used the 4th of July stamp set found in the summer mini. Congratulations to Jodi Nipper who brought a finshed card she made at home using SU products. Her name was entered into a drawing and she was the lucky girl who went home with a free stamp set.




The finished card and the two prizes that the ladies took home!
Check back for recipes. If you have any questions you can email me karencoxstamps@gmail.com

2010-2011 Stampin' Up! Catalog is Here...


Today is the start of the new Stampin year. I am very excited and cannot wait for my client appreciation party on Friday. I have only been a SU demonstrator for 2 whole months and I am loving every minute of it. I have met some great ladies and as a thank you for helping me get my business started I decided what better way to start off the new year and new catalog but with a client appreciation party! We will be looking at the new catalog and sharing ideas, doing a 4th of July make and take and enjoying yummy cupcakes. I will post pictures after the party so be sure to check back!!

How Cute Is That? #3

Welcome to How cute is that! where I post a selection of my favorite Stampin' Up! cards and projects by other talented stamping artists. I think that sharing great ideas for people to copy is the best form of flattery and I love to flatter! These are projects that when I see them I say, "How cute is that! and where can I find out how to do it myself. Please click on each link to go directly to the artist's blog for more information about the artist and their project.
