August Classes

Here are our projects for August:
1. card class (8 cards with envelopes for $12). This will be on Friday, August 13 at 7pm. RSVP by August 9. You will make 2 of each of these 4 designs. (for some reason this loads rotated to its side everytime I try....so turn your head to view upright!)

2. Tuesday, August 31 at 6:30pm. This will be the 6 Ways to Watercolor Class. Love the look of watercoloring but you think it is too difficult or complicated? Then this class is for you! I will be demonstrating 6 ways to watercolor which will turn normal cards to “oh” cards. All it takes is the right tool. You will be astounded how easy watercoloring is with the Aqua Painter tool. Join me to create this exquisite set of 4 cards in a convenient gift or storage box. Cost of this class is $15. I have attached a photo. I am also including the opportunity to purchase a bundle and receive a bonus with the purchase! Purchase the aqua painters and Awash With Flowers Stamp Set (the set we will use in this class) for a total of $65 and receive a FREE pack of Stampin Up's wonderful watercolor paper!!! You will also receive color, detailed instructions for the cards and box that we make in the class for free with the purchase of the product bundle. I am VERY excited to offer this class and hope you can join us. If you cannot join us, this class is available "TO GO" for an additional $5. RSVP by August 18.

Let's Get Stamping Again!

I hope you have all been having a wonderful summer! I am ready to get stamping again now that all of my summer travels are over and the summer is winding down. My oldest starts kindergarten in 2 weeks! Gulp!!

So, let's get rolling with some fun classes in August!

First off, we will have a card class (8 cards with envelopes for $12). This will be on Friday, August 13 at 7pm. RSVP by August 9. Samples will be posted to the blog this week.

The next event of the month takes some explaining.  I know it may seem early to start thinking about Christmas cards. However, I would like to try something new this year that will keep ALL OF US organized and have our Christmas cards done in PLENTY of time to send out. We will have a monthly Christmas card club for the next 4 months, wrapping it up in November. This will be very low key and free to you except for the cost of your supplies.  Here's how it will work: The first month, you will design your card, decide how many you will make, and place your order for your supplies. I will help you with the design if you want and will also have samples to look at that you are welcome to copy. The second month, I will have your supplies in and you will cut all of your paper and pieces.  The third month you will do your stamping. The fourth and final month you will assemble your cards! You bring your own cutter and adhesive of choice. We will take turns bringing snacks. My Big Shot will also be available for use, but keep in mind you may not be the only one using it. :) SO, here is the schedule:
Thursday, August 26, 6:30-9:30pm (pick/plan your card design, number of cards, place your order for any stamps, paper, ink, accessories, etc)
Thursday, September 23, 6:30-9:30pm (cut your paper/pieces)
Thursday, October 21, 6:30-9:30pm (stamp!)
Thursday, November 11, 6:30-9:30pm (assemble...we are meeting a bit early this month because I am having the baby the following week)
This Christmas Card Club is a wonderful way to get together once a month, stay organized, create beautiful handmade Christmas cards to mail out, and meet new friends or hang out with old friends! You are welcome to have a friend join you! Please sign up as soon as possible, space is limited. RSVP by August 18.

The final event for August will be Tuesday, August 31 at 6:30pm. This will be the 6 Ways to Watercolor Class. Love the look of watercoloring but you think it is too difficult or complicated? Then this class is for you! I will be demonstrating 6 ways to watercolor which will turn normal cards to “oh” cards. All it takes is the right tool.

I am VERY excited to offer this class and hope you can join us. If you cannot join us, this class is available "TO GO" for an additional $5. RSVP by August 18.

Hostessing a Workshop

I wanted to answer some questions some of you may have about hostessing a workshop. When you host a workshop you will receive a free idea book and catalog and a hostess packet that will include postcards for invitations, order forms for outside orders, and tips to make your workshop successful. I will also discuss with you anything you might like to see highlighted in your workshop, as well as what hostess set you have your eye on so we can set some goals to get you there! Then you simply invite your guests, prepare light refreshments, and sit back to relax and stamp! I do the rest!

During your workshop, there will be a brief demonstration of products and a walk-thru of the catalog. I will then provide you and your guests the supplies and time to make a project of your own! It is a ton of fun, even for those who have never stamped before! After the make and takes are complete, it is time to eat and shop!

So simple! So, contact me to book your workshop!

I also wanted to highlight this area of my blog: http://katrinakraftsalatte.blogspot.com/p/join-my-stampin-up-team.html where I have outlined some of the perks to signing up as a demonstrator.

2010 Convention Highlights

Hello Stampers!
I am just back from my trip to the Stampin Up Convention in Salt Lake City! I had a WONDERFUL time, have come back truly energized and excited, and I cannot wait to begin our stamping year after summer break! I have SO MANY ideas buzzing around in my head from everything I saw and learned at convention!!! I have a lrot to share with you and so you will need to stay tuned over the next couple of weeks for convention highlights and upcoming promotions, as well as my upcoming class schedule! I am also working toward a recruiting challenge to recruit 2 more members to my downline. If you are interested in sitting down to learn more about the benefits of being a demonstrator (and it does not mean you have to give up coming to classes or stamp club!!), then please drop me a line. They have revamped the starter kit and made it CHEAPER. I will send and post more details on that soon!

Unfortunately, I have come home to no internet until Aug 9! So, I am having to come to a wi-fi spot in the evenings as my husband's schedule allows.  So, some of my highlights, posts, and emails will be delayed and maybe a bit unorganized since I can only do a bit at a time!

One thing I want you to begin thinking about is scheduling a workshop in your home in August! There will be a WONDERFUL hostess promotion in August, and I am SO excited for this so I want you to be sure to get your workshop scheduled before my calendar fills! contact me immediately!!! I will email out the promotion flyer as soon as it is available later this week, but as a teaser it will involve an EXTRA $25 ON TOP of the regular hostess benefits!!!! yayayayayay!!!!

Also, I want to remind you that there is ONE more spot available in my Stamp Club. We will begin our next Stamp Club "year" on Wednesday, September 8 at 6:30pm. We will meet the second Wednesday of the months of September, October (skip November), December, January, February, and March. I have attached the "contract" for you to view the benefits. PLEASE contact me if you are interested in filling this last spot! What a wonderful way to get one night out a month to stamp and make friends, as well as put your stamping hobby (or habit) on a budget!

Pictures to be posted soon! I need to get them downloaded from my camera and pick out some good ones, as I am NOT a photographer!
