I love being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator!
Stampin' Up! offered this awesome deal where we could preorder $75 worth of Stamps from the new Holiday Mini Catalog and then receive the Sweet Centers stamp set for only $5.
Well, I didn't need $75 worth of stamps but when I figured out that if I paid full price for the Sweet Centers, then I was only saving $10 over ordering $75 worth and then getting Sweet Centers for only $5.
So... I ordered a few more stamps including this Autumn Splendor stamp set. Thank goodness I did because I LOVE IT!!.
I have done bunches of fun stuff with it including the Black Magic Technique which I learned on a Workshop Wows DVD that is available to Stampin' Up! demonstrators.
If you would love to get in on these great deals and enjoy all the benefits of being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator, you can still get in on the preorder deal, contact me today and I will give you info about the best business opportunity EVER!

Do you want an excuse to excape for a night of fun with other creative women?? Join a stamp club and you can enjoy all of the perks of hosting a Stampin' Up! workshop without any of the work. In addition, you will receive:
New Clubs begin in August 2009
Isn't this fun?? I just can't wait until my 100 Scrapbook club meets this month!
We are using the Hoppy Memories Simply Scrappin' kit plus 5 Sheets of Whisper White cardstock & 5 sheets of Tempting Turquoise cardstock.
With these Stampin' Up! exclusive products, we are going to create 10 absolutely FABULOUS scrapbook pages that are ready for club members to simply add pictures, journaling and titles to create a fun summertime section of their scrapbook.
For those of you unfamiliar with how I do it, members of the club come 1 night a month for 10 months and we make 10 pages so when they are done, they have 100 premade pages that are perfect for catching up or just being ready for the future.
Customer Karen P. is saving her pages for her 2008 year in review scrapbook, because the pages will be predone, she will only have to find the perfect page and add the pictures as they come home from the developer.
I truly love this club because we have lots of giggles while we make the pages--did I mention that it will only take us about 1hour 45 minutes to make the 10 pages??
Please feel free to contact me at stampinchick@msn.com or (402) 592-9831 if you want more information about this awesome club.
One of my customers' son is entered in a photo contest online. Amanda and Porter would love it if they were to win because then he will be grand marshal in the Omaha Henry Doorly Zoo Halloween Parade. Please help him out by voting at http://www.thekat.com/pages/spooktacularcostumecontest.html . He is the cutie in the turtle costume.
Thanks so much for your extra clicking on Porter's behalf!!
Whooo do you love?? Is it Stampin' Up! because they have some of the best stamps around!! Well it should be. This adorable new stamp set will be released in the Stampin' Up! Fall/Winter Catalog 2008.
Do you want to be one of the first people to get a copy?? Then contact me today to make sure you are at the top of my list.
Thanks, Michele Mulder

Have you noticed how many times I have used the Pun Fun Set lately??
I ordered it by accident and had planned to return it until the day I needed a get well card. It kinda snowballed from there and it has become one of my most favorite stamp sets.
Want more?? visit tomorrow to see the cards we created with the newest Stampin' Up! set, Owl Together Now.
Did you read the day before yesterday's entry?? then you already know that punching is a valuable way to use up scrap pieces of Stampin' Up!'s Designer Series Pattern paper.
The first card has a cute little dress that was cut from pattern paper. I got the pattern from one of the many absolutely fabulous Papercrafts publications, I forget which one exactly.
Tip: When you get your pattern paper from Stampin' Up!, you get a sheet of nice quality cardboard with the paper. You can use that sheet as a perfect pattern maker. Each time I get a new Papercrafts magazine, I copy and cut the patterns out on to this cardboard sheet and keep them in a file folder for future use that way there is no searching for it later. This is a simple enough task to do when watching a television show.
Want more great tips and ideas?? Sign up for my e-newsletters.
Get your punch on!! These cards are basically a phrase stamp and some punches.
But they are still adorable--even if my samples weren't perfect.
Punch Tip: Use the leftover bits of pattern paper to create a punched border. Not feeling very creative, punch out a baggie full of pieces while you watch TV so that next time you are pressured to finish a card or a scrapbook page you can just reach for the baggie and git R done.
Keep checking back here for more ideas and great tips.
Don't forget that one of the quickest and easiest ways to dress up your cards is with Stampin' Up!'s punches.
These two cards are quite simple but with the addition of these punched pieces they become a wow!
As a special thank you to my customers, later this month, you can download a 10 page scrapbook class for FREE. Watch this site for details. Thanks, Michele
Glitter, glitter, glitter!! How can you live without it??
Well let me tell you, you don't have to live without it! Stampin' Up! has lots of different glitters to choose from and it is so easy to use.
The basic supplies are glitter and a 2 Way glue pen. You can use the 2 Way glue pen to color in an image or to add a background embellishment. The backgrounds on each card are just hand drawn and super easy to recreate.
Have fun with your glitter, Michele
These two cards are super-simple but each is elegant in it's own way.
Don't forget that you don't have to add tons of layers or pounds of accessories to make your cards great.
People are just as pleased to receive a simple card as an an elaborate one, it is truly the thought that counts.
For more super simple cards, then you should sign up for my e-newsletter and let the creativity flow.
Did you miss out on the Stampin' Up! Fresh Cuts promotion during June 2008?
Well, don't worry, you can still get this stamp set when it is released as part of the Stampin' Up! Fall/Winter Catalog 2008 but you do have to wait until August 11 for it.
If you want one of the first of those new catalogs, then you need to schedule your home workshop, sign up for a stamp club or become a demonstrator today.
Contact me, Michele Mulder, (402) 592-9831 or create@rubberchickenstampers.com

All of these are still available through the Stampin' Up! catalog through August 10, 2008.
Don't forget, the Stampin' Up! In Color colors are retiring also. A particular favorite of mine, Groovy Guava, is also retiring. It makes me so sad except that Stampin' Up!'s new In Color colors are going to be arriving at my door this week.
I CAN'T WAIT!!

Then, when you run out of the old, you can give me a call and start playing with the new.

Who knew the Wild About You stamp set was so versatile?? Well, Michelle B. of course!!
This just proves that you don't have to have 100's of stamp sets to create for many occasions. You will of course, want to have 100's of stamp sets but they are only as necessary as your pocketbook is full.

Isn't this a fun card?? I really love the Stampin' Up! 2008 Occasions Mini Catalog offerings. This cute card was made using the Tart & Tangy stamp set that we got to purchase at a discount at the Stampin' Up! leadership convention in Palm Springs, CA. I wasn't sure what I was gong to do with it at first but as you can see, I came up with some ideas.
I used Tart & Tangy to help demonstrate one of the top ten ways to use your scallop circle punch- The flip flop. It is very simple to do; you simply punch out only half of the scallop circle punch, then flip it over and attach over the punched out portion of your paper. Simple and visually fun.
Do you want to know the 9 other ways to use your scallop circle punch?? Sign up for my email newsletter by March 17 to find out what they are.
Supply List:
Tart & Tangy, It's Your Birthday, Summer Picnic Designer Series Paper, Scallop Circle Punch, 1 1/4" circle punch, 1 3/8" circle punch, Stampin' Dimensionals, Crystal Effects, Basic Black Classic Ink, Real Red Marker, Old Olive Marker, Bashful Blue Cardstock, Chunky Sprinkles glitter, SNAIL adhesive.
I have to apologize to all of you who have been waiting for my Camp Calvin Crest samples. I got everything ready but thought I had uploaded it when in fact, it has just been sitting there for several weeks. This first sample is of a 6" x 6" page that I using for my chipboard class this Saturday in Fremont, Nebraska.
I hope that you enjoy seeing all of these fun ideas and maybe, I will see you at the Sweetheart Scrapbook retreat this weekend.
Have you seen Stampin' Up's Valentine's Bundle Special?? If so, you know what a fabulous deal it is and that it is only available through January 30th.
I loved this so much that I made up a collection of goodies that you could make with this bundle plus a few things that a stamper would probably have on hand.
Once I made them, I decided to share. So anyone who purchases the Valentine's Bundle deal from me will receive a FREE E-Class with color pictures, measurements and directions on how to make all of the goodies with this ultra-cool deal.
Do you want to know more?? Call or email me today and I can give you all of the details!
Isn't this fun and cute?? I love unique ways to package the mundane.
My son is 15 years old and all he wants for Christmas (that I can afford) is cash. So, he will get a stocking filled with some cash from Santa rather than the toys his siblings enjoy.
This stocking was very easy to make once I had a pattern. Once I had that, I was ready to go. Download stocking_pattern.jpg
Start by tracing the pattern out--I actually traced it onto 12" x 12" cardstock even though the pattern is for 8.5" x 11" just line up the toe of the stocking with the bottom of the paper and then trace up to the top edge of the paper past the pattern. See picture.
Once you have the pattern cut out, trace it and cut it again on another piece of paper--this will be your background piece.
Put Sticky Strip around the edges of the inside side of your top stocking piece.
Don't worry about following every curve, just make it a pocket--it would be difficult for the recipient to get stuff out of the toe.
Attach the layers together and decorate to your heart's content.

"C" is for "Cynthia"--my stepmother who shared these soon to be adorable jars with me. This one is super simple but still very striking because it uses my favorite pattern of Wintergreen Designer Series Paper around the body of the jar.
Supplies:
Do you love Stampin' Up! as much as I do?? Maybe you should think about letting your friends and family know that they can order Stampin' Up! gift certificates from me to give you for the holidays. Send me their contact information and I will follow up with a call to them about your deepest, darkest stampin' desires!
"C" is for "candy" and it's good enough for me! Take this jar, add in a bag of Hershey's kisses and you will be at the top of Santa's thoughfulness list.
This jar is fun although it wasn't as quickly done as some of the others. I used faux icicles to dress up the Wintergreen Designer Series Paper around the body of the jar and those take a little time to prepare. What?? Did you just think "how do I make faux icicles??" Then you need to be signed up for my e-newsletter because that is one of the things that I shared with my customers several weeks ago during my 12 Weeks of Christmas Ideas campaign.
Email me directly if you want instructions on how to make faux icicles. Michele Mulder, Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, from Ralston, Nebraska (NE).
Supplies:
Isn't this lovely?? There is something so satisfying about taking something that would otherwise be in the landfill and not very pretty at all and creating a masterpiece.
This jar is kinda fun in the fact that it is entirely stampless. I used pattern paper and other accessories to make this so lovely!
Supplies: Wintergreen Designer Series Pattern Paper, Clear Buttons, Crystal Effects, Dazzling Diamonds Glitter, Sticky Strip, Celery Organdy, Mini Glue Dots, Coluzzle, Silver Elastic Cord, and Always Artichoke Cardstock.
Do you want to recreate these at home?? Use your Stampin' Up! Coluzzle to create the cover for the top: use the third line in from the outside edge on the circle template for the jar lids. Use the 5th line in if you want to create the layer piece for the poinsettia.
Didn't know that the Designer Series Pattern Paper was on special this month?? Sign up for my e-newsletter and make sure you get all of the important Stampin' Up! information.
Are you as into repackaging as much as I am?? Then now is your chance! Stampin' Up is offering this great Wrapping Up the Holidays special and one of the things they are offering through December 15 is a Tin 3-Pack for $9.95. All the tins are 5 5/8"x 5" x 1/2" and they are perfect for holding handmade cards, cash gifts and, of course, gift cards!
