Life has a way of sneaking up on you and you find yourself asking "where did the time go". Sorry it's been quiet around here, you know the saying about best intentions.... Anyway, I'm here today to make certain you see the Holiday Extravaganza list. I tried posting this for the past 2 days and finally came to the conclusion that Google was not playing nice with Internet Explorer, so I had to download Firefox.<br />
<br />
Below is the list of products on sale for Holiday Extravaganza; you can also click <b><span style="color: blue;"><a href="http://su-media.s3.amazonaws.com/media/Promotions/NA/2014/11_November/OnlineX/Online_Extravaganza_Products_US.pdf" target="_blank">HERE</a></span></b> to view the PDF version. The sale runs from November 24, 2014 to December 2, 2014 and you can get the discounted prices if you place your order online OR as part of a Hostess Order. Stampin' Up set aside only a certain quantity of items for the sale, so if there's something you really want, it's better to order it sooner than later. If you'd like to place an order with me, you can click <span style="color: blue;"><b><a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/default.aspx" target="_blank">HERE</a></b></span> and create, or sign into, your online account - once you sign in, be certain to select me as your Demonstrator in order to get my Frequent Shopper Rewards points! Thanks for visiting and have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!<br />

<h2>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I<span style="line-height: 1.5;">’ve been anxiously waiting for today for months and months. It’s finally here! Some of you who attended Inspire. Create. Share. in July may have already seen the latest stamp set from Stampin’ Up! Ten lucky attendees even took it home (and I hope they’ve been having some fun with it). For the rest of you who haven’t seen it yet . . . drumroll, please . . . and can I get a </span></span><a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=138107&utm_source=stampin-up-blog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=can-i-get-a-yee-haw" style="line-height: 1.5;"><span style="font-size: small;">Yee-Haw</span></a><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 1.5;">?!</span> </span><br /><span class="sfImageWrapper" data-sfref="[images|OpenAccessDataProvider]184f1458-3795-661a-8962-ff0000f7f0e6"><img alt="1-stamp-set" displaymode="Original" src="http://www.stampinup.com/home/images/default-source/default-album/1-stamp-set.jpg?sfvrsn=0" title="1-stamp-set" /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">For those of you who attended convention—especially those who came to the Stamps, Ink, and Paper class— you’ll have heard the story behind this stamp set. I was given an assignment late last year to carve a stamp set with the Undefined Stamp Carving Kit for a <em>Stampin’ Success</em> article. “Howdy” was the first image I carved. I’m not sure why I picked that word. I’m not a country girl. I’m not a fan of country music. I do love to say “howdy.” Maybe it’s just my attempt to spice up “hello.” Whatever the reason, it was the spark that lit the inspiration fire that resulted in the </span><a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=138107&utm_source=stampin-up-blog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=can-i-get-a-yee-haw"><span style="font-size: small;">Yee-Haw Photopolymer Stamp Set</span></a><span style="font-size: small;">.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I had a lot of fun doodling this stamp set. I knew I wanted some imagery to go with all of the fun sentiments. The lasso is probably my favorite piece and was designed to fit around Howdy, Rootin’ Tootin’, and Yee-Haw.</span><br />
<span class="sfImageWrapper" data-sfref="[images|OpenAccessDataProvider]274f1458-3795-661a-8962-ff0000f7f0e6"><img alt="2-yee-haw-card" displaymode="Original" src="http://www.stampinup.com/home/images/default-source/default-album/2-yee-haw-card.jpg?sfvrsn=0" title="2-yee-haw-card" /></span><br />
<span class="sfImageWrapper" data-sfref="[images|OpenAccessDataProvider]364f1458-3795-661a-8962-ff0000f7f0e6"><img alt="3-rootin-tootin-card" displaymode="Original" src="http://www.stampinup.com/home/images/default-source/default-album/3-rootin-tootin-card.jpg?sfvrsn=0" title="3-rootin-tootin-card" /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">My second favorite image is the sheriff’s badge. The “sheriff” sentiment was purposely left separate from the badge so that you could easily write in someone’s name, then pin it to a shirt or bandana. It also makes an adorable tag for a gift.</span><br />
<span class="sfImageWrapper" data-sfref="[images|OpenAccessDataProvider]454f1458-3795-661a-8962-ff0000f7f0e6"><img alt="4-sheriff-bag" displaymode="Original" src="http://www.stampinup.com/home/images/default-source/default-album/4-sheriff-bag.jpg?sfvrsn=0" title="4-sheriff-bag" /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">This stamp set isn’t just for Texans, although I know a few who will love it (Erica, Lydia . . .)! Here are a few samples that show how the images can be used to make a soft, pretty card or a sweet little card for a baby shower, a fun thank you note for a friend, or a colorful celebration card.</span><br />

Summer is here! It’s time for swimming, sun . . . and ice cream treats. Check out the following ideas for yummy-looking ice cream-themed gift boxes—and don’t feel as if you have to use these palettes. We’ve got plenty of ice cream colors for you to work with!<br />
<br />
The “ice cream sandwich” boxes are perfect for enclosing small gift cards, treats, movie tickets, etc. You could easily make a bunch of these little cuties for family reunion gifts—or teach the kids how to make them! They’ll love making different “flavors.” :)<br />

</ul>
Round the corners of the Chocolate Chip Cardstock pieces using the Project Life Corner Punch, then pierce both pieces of cardstock using the Paper-Piercing Tool and Paper-Piercing Mat (to create an ice-cream sandwich effect). Score a 1/2" border on all sides of the 5" x 3" ice-cream colored cardstock pieces using the scoring blade on the Stampin’ Trimmer.<br />
<br />
Snip the corners and fold inward. (See picture below.) Adhere the corners to the box sides using Sticky Strip. Fit the box top and bottom together to create an “ice cream slice.” Enclose the “ice cream slice” in the Chocolate Chip Cardstock pieces. Wrap with the White Vellum Cardstock strip and Blushing Bride Baker’s Twine. Include a stamped tag to fit the occasion. That’s it!<br />
<br />
You might also want to make these posh Push-Pop Gift Boxes. Just wrap a cardboard tube with ice-cream colored cardstock and adhere a cardstock circle to the top (made using the 1-3/4" Circle Punch). Adhere a popsicle stick to the inside of a cardboard tube using Sticky Strip. If you’d like to put a gift inside, punch out another circle, cut a slit in the middle, and adhere the circle to the bottom of the tube. When it is dry, insert the popsicle stick. <br />

<h2>
Wedding Bells . . . and Godzilla</h2>
<div class="blog-post-contents ">
<div style="overflow: hidden;">
<strong>Cindy B is Senior Staff Writer at Stampin' Up,</strong> and her daughter, Gloria—who works in Demonstrator Support— is getting married. Congratulations! <br />
<br />
So Cindy was assigned the cardmaking duties and her daughter's wedding colors are red and brown. Cindy and her daughter both love the <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=135374&utm_source=stampin-up-blog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=wedding-bells-and-godzilla">Cheers to Love Stamp Set</a> from the new <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/home/catalogs&utm_source=stampin-up-blog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=wedding-bells-and-godzilla">annual catalog</a>, so she began by CASEing one of the cards on pg. 71.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://www.stampinup.com/home/images/default-source/corporate-blog-posts/wedding-bells_crb1.jpg?sfvrsn=0" title="Wedding Bells_crb1" /><br />
<br />
As it turned out, neither Cindy's daughter or her finance liked that card, so she tried again.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://www.stampinup.com/home/images/default-source/corporate-blog-posts/wedding-bells_crb2.jpg?sfvrsn=0" title="Wedding Bells_crb2" /><br />
<br />
The two cards on the right got the thumbs up.<br />
<img src="http://www.stampinup.com/home/images/default-source/corporate-blog-posts/wedding-bells_crb3.jpg?sfvrsn=0" title="Wedding Bells_crb3" /><br />
<br />
Finally, they settled on this one made with the Real Red and Very Vanilla patterns in the new Flashback Designer Series Paper. But Cindy and her daughter agreed that it still needed a little something.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://www.stampinup.com/home/images/default-source/corporate-blog-posts/wedding-bells_crb4.jpg?sfvrsn=0" title="Wedding Bells_crb4" /><br />
<br />
She added a layered butterfly using the <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=127526&utm_source=stampin-up-blog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=wedding-bells-and-godzilla">Elegant Butterfly</a> and <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=129406&utm_source=stampin-up-blog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=wedding-bells-and-godzilla">Bitty Butterfly</a> Punches. (Though the embellishment looks like a Basic Pearl, it’s actually a <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=119246&utm_source=stampin-up-blog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=wedding-bells-and-godzilla">Basic Rhinestone</a>.) She also used <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=120953&utm_source=stampin-up-blog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=wedding-bells-and-godzilla">Crumb Cake Cardstock</a> and <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=132622&utm_source=stampin-up-blog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=wedding-bells-and-godzilla">Gold Foil Sheets</a>. Cindy cut out the oval frames using the <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=113439&utm_source=stampin-up-blog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=wedding-bells-and-godzilla">Big Shot</a> and the <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=129381&utm_source=stampin-up-blog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=wedding-bells-and-godzilla">Ovals Collection Framelits Dies</a>.<br />
<br />
Then they needed invitation inserts, so Cindy created them using <a href="http://www.mydigitalstudio.net/&utm_source=stampin-up-blog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=wedding-bells-and-godzilla">MDS</a>—and yes, those ARE Godzilla figurines. (Cindy's daughter, Gloria and finance, Robby are both big fans).<br />
<br />
Cindy's daughter and her fiancé are both writers and wanted a fairy tale theme for their reception, so she made faux books for each table using empty boxes, <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=133699&utm_source=stampin-up-blog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=wedding-bells-and-godzilla">Flashback Designer Series Paper</a>, <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=133674&utm_source=stampin-up-blog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=wedding-bells-and-godzilla">Kraft</a>, <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=124290&utm_source=stampin-up-blog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=wedding-bells-and-godzilla">Real Red</a>, and <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=124301&utm_source=stampin-up-blog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=wedding-bells-and-godzilla">Very Vanilla Cardstock</a>, and the <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=129381&utm_source=stampin-up-blog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=wedding-bells-and-godzilla">Ovals Collection Framelits Dies</a>. <br />

(The back of the book.)<br />
<br />
And here is a banner Cindy made using the Celebration Basics Kit. The flowers were created using the Big Shot, the <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=127012&utm_source=stampin-up-blog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=wedding-bells-and-godzilla">Floral Frames Collection</a>, Real Red Cardstock, and White Filter Paper. <br />

<br />
Donna G. from Demonstrator Training was kind enough to show me how to make tassels for the banner. <br />

<br />
I used <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=129393&utm_source=stampin-up-blog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=wedding-bells-and-godzilla">White Filter Paper</a>. (Donna spritzed her White Filter Paper using <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=131158&utm_source=stampin-up-blog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=wedding-bells-and-godzilla">Crushed Curry ink</a>.) <br />
<br />
Adhere <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=104294&utm_source=stampin-up-blog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=wedding-bells-and-godzilla">Sticky Strip</a> to the top of the Filter Paper. Make cuts every quarter inch, as shown. Roll up the tassel using a wooden skewer. I stacked a few sheets on top of one another so I could make several tassels at the same time. Tip: pencil lines on the paper to help with cutting.<br />
