Judy's Thank You

Just had to share Judy's beautiful thank you card she made for me with the goodies from her blog candy!  She used several items from her blog candy...the Daisy Flourish embossing folder, the blue/green baby bling and the black rhinestones!   She has more details on her blog here.


Thanks, Judy, for such a sweet card!!!

Daisy on White

Judy has received her blog candy so now I can show you what was in her mystery gift!  Don't forget to keep commenting on the blog posts as we may have an unannounced blog candy at any time!



Embossing folders are 15% off this week!  There are ten beautiful designs from which to choose.  See them all here!

The CNNS Guest Design Team call closes on July 17th!   We've had some wonderful applications but would love to see more!   Details are here at http://scrapbookcalls.typepad.com

Here are a couple of cards I made recently.  I love white cards and multiple layers on cards and don't do them nearly often enough!  While this card has a number of layers, it was not at all hard to make!  Do you like layered cards too?   Add your layered cards to Mr. Linky below by next Friday and we'll choose two or three to highlight on a blog post in the near future!

                               Paper - Esse Smooth Pearlized White (Neenah),

This card was so easy to make!  The details in the butterfly design are perforated and had to be punched out.   Then I placed the sticker onto the Foil Paper Textured Patterns 1 paper and cut out around it.  I bent the butterfly wings up to give it some dimension and then adhered the butterfly body to the cardstock with a dab of glue and placed tiny pieces of foam dots behind the wings.  A small piece of Finesse swirls - White Pearls was used for the butterfly's flight path and three White Pearls Baby Bling down the body of the butterfly.

The inside sentiment (not shown) reads A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Black & White Elegance!!!

Hi everyone!

The holiday weekend has passed and most of us are probably back into the work week.   I know I am!

Judy claimed her blog candy and I dropped it in the mail on Monday.   I told her that we would love to see what she creates with it, so I hope she will share!   I don't want to spoil her surprise, so I'll wait to post pictures of it until she has had time to receive it.

Today I'm posting a poll on the right sidebar that will be open until next Wednesday, July 13th.   I'm interested to know what level of cardmaker you consider yourself to be.  I hope you will all participate.  I'm always interested to know more about our readers!
  
Here are a couple of gorgeous cards that Linda made.

To a Friend...

It's a holiday weekend and what better reason for a great sale???  Through Monday, July 4th, all Spellbinders and Cheery Lynn Designs products are 20% off.  Enter code Diecuts20 at checkout.  The discount also applies to both the large Cuttlehug and small Cuttlehug which are recommended to be used with any of the intricate doily dies for a better cut.  The large Cuttlehug is needed for the English Tea Party die because of the size of the doily but works for all three.  However, the small one works for French Pastry and Italian Flourish but is too small for the larger English Tea Party.   This code is valid July 1-4 only.

July20off code will give you 20% off any embellishments here.  There are lots of beautiful embellishments from which to choose.  This code will be available until July 31st.

Only one discount can be used per order.  See the shipping policy on the checkout page.

Be sure to keep an eye on the Current Discounts link on the right sidebar.   That's where you can check on any current discounts that you might have missed.  If you love a good deal, sign up for our Yahoo group on the left sidebar.   The Yahoo group gets an exclusive weekly discount not available elsewhere!  You can also sign up on the left sidebar to receive these posts automatically either as email or in a reader.   

Here's a pretty, feminine card for a good friend with a light, summery feel!  The inside sentiment (not shown) says "Thinking of you always lightens my heart and brightens my day".  Who wouldn't be thrilled to get a card with a sentiment like that???  Both the pink and white cardstocks and the ribbon have a subtle shimmer!

I can't imagine...

Do you have someone special who needs a card with an extra touch...someone who maybe needs to know that you thought of them today?   Here are three elegant, yet simple, cards that are pretty easy to make for three different occasions.

This card is great for a good friend.   The inside sentiment completes the sentence started on the front and says "...in all the world a better friend than you!"   It's from the Friends Rubz.   Rubz are so easy to use and if you haven't tried them, you owe it to yourself.   They are quality rub-ons with lots of different sentiments for a number of occasions.  The complete supply list is below.

New cards and new products!

Hello Blog Friends,

It's been a busy week...more ways than one!   Linda has been busy making beautiful cards and I have a couple to share, too.

The June40off discount code is good through the end of June and will give you 40% off all paper while supplies last (see what's new below!) Shipping charges apply.  Please read the new shipping policy at checkout.  International orders are welcome.   Details here.

There are lots of new items in the shop!  Check these out!!

  • Bling  - Several new Want2Scrap items on this page but others are sprinkled throughout the section. I've just re-ordered the White Pearls Finesse Swirls and Silver Rhinestone Finesse Swirls (a few of these are in stock now).  Black Finesse Swirls are still on backorder.   There is a new color coming out - brown!   I should be able to order the black and brown soon.   I expect that I will have the White Pearls by late next week...maybe earlier!
  • Embellishments - A cute new package of Whimsey Perfect Petals
  • Embossing folders - Two new ones - Blossom and Spring - really pretty!  I just ordered another new style and re-ordered the beautiful Daisy & Swirl!  I expect those late next week, too! 
  • Paper, vellum & diecuts 
    • Foil Paper - These are 5" x 5" papers - 5 different colors, 5 different textures with 10 of each design per pack for a total of 50 sheets for only $4.99
      • Textured Patterns 3 is back in stock.   My first order of this one sold out before I could get it in the online store! My friends loved it!
      • I've also added a new pack with different colors and textures which is equally gorgeous - Textured Patterns 2.
      • I also just ordered Textured Patterns 1.   I can't wait to see this one!!  It should be in late next week.
    • Paper - There are two new 6" x 6" Webster's Pages packages and a new vellum and die cuts assortment
  • Exotic Butterflies - Mini & Small by Cheery Lynn Designs - If you haven't seen these, they are really gorgeous!  Be sure to check out the Cheery Lynn doilies and the Spellbinders products too.
  • Outline stickers - Lots of choices here!  

More big news!!...I recently created a new Yahoo group for different weekly discounts not available elsewhere.   It's an announcement only group so you won't be inundated with lots of emails...just one or two emails per week at the most from me with a deal or new product announcements.  And when you join, you will get a code for 20% off your first order as a member of the Classy Cards 'n Such Yahoo group!  Follow this link to sign up  http://groups.yahoo.com/group/classycardsnsuch/.   And just a heads up...after you have signed up and all seems to be well, go to My Groups in your Yahoo account.   Find the Classy Cards 'n Such group and check that the email address showing is the one where you want these emails to go.   If it isn't, click Edit and you will be able to access the drop down by the email address and change it to the one you prefer.   Yahoo seems to default to your Yahoo email which may not be the one you would like.  Ask me how I know!  :-)
