Merry Monday Challenge #270 (Christmas Tic-Tac-Toe) & other challenges

I saw this beautiful tag from Connie Babbert from INKspiredtreasures.com and I fell in love with it. So I decided I would put my spin on it for a card.

Here is her tag:

The challenge over at Merry Monday is just perfect for the card I wanted to create. Kelly's challenge involved picking three items from the Tic-Tac-Toe she posted:

I chose to go with Stamping-Die Cut-Red for my card. I used Whisper White as the base and ran it through the big shot using the Quilt Top embossing folder. I then took some glimmer paper and made a banner to go vertical on the card. I then added a piece of gold glimmer paper the same way and adhered it over the glimmer paper. I then die cut the Quilt star from Cherry Cobbler and adhered it with dimensionals. I then stamped Garden Green with the single stitched X and then altering it with Lemon-Lime Twist and fussy cut it out. I adhered it with a dimensional also. I finally added a rhinestone to the middle of it. I loved how it turned out! I hope you do to.  

Here is my card:

I love this set and it is said it is not being carried over. If you want this hurry while supplies last. Come January 2nd this will be no more. If you do not have a demonstrator I would love to be yours!

Just go to the shop with me on the right side bar and be sure my name is on the page when you place your order.

Have a great evening!

I am also participating in these challenges:

(The traditional colours of Red, Green and Gold ....)

Bubble Over Stamp Set, Bottles & Bubbles Framelits Dies plus Bubbles & Fizz DSP!

When I first saw this set it immediately screamed out to me as

 POP ART!

I can remember seeing them from the 50's and 60's from my cousins, aunt's and uncle's. ( I was not born until the late 60's.) I decided to see what I could find on the internet (love it that I can stay at home and search for things instead of heading to the library.) I found this picture:

The stripes and stars fit the dsp and stamps in this set. Here is my take on it. I call this card "Pop Art." I have three more cards but in order for you to see them you will need to order the Bottles and Bubbles bundle from me starting January 3rd. I have a PDF available then that you can get for free by ordering this bundle. Plus if you order $50.00 or more you can get a free Sale-A-Bration item. The Bubble and Fizz DSP is a free item and the Ribbon I used on this card and use the hostess code for your order in January to get a free item from me for placing an order!

Card Supplies:
DSP: Bubbles and Fizz
Ribbon: Free Sale-A-Bration item Sheer Ribbon Pack
Stamp Set: Bubble Over 2018 Occasions Catalog starting January 3rd for ordering
Dies: Bottles and Bubbles 2018 Occasions Catalog starting January 3rd for ordering
(bundle the stamp set and dies to save 10%)
Inks: Bermuda Bay and Daffodil Delight
Cardstock: Lemon-Lime Twist and Bermuda Bay
Adhesive: Fast Fuse and dimensionals
Tools: Bigshot, magnetic platform, paper trimmer and scissors


Here is a sneak peek of the other 3. I have named each card, can you guess what kind of card they are by their names?
1) Spin the Bottle
2) Pop, Pop, Fizz, Fizz (and no not alka-seltzer, lol)
3) Shake, Rattle and Roll

Come back in a few days when I will show a sneak peek of another item!

Okay I gotta have one! How do I get it?

It acts like a true preorder: you reserve your spot and we guarantee shipment as soon as the product arrives in our warehouse. Demonstrators and customers will place reservations and receive their product at the same time. This system will allow us to get the product to market as soon as possible while avoiding backorders and efficiently managing inventory.

You must create a customer profile-CLICK HERE TO DO THIS

(be sure my name is on the page, if not go to Demonstrator Finder and put in my name, 72 Short Street, Milford Center, OH 43045)

Here is how you reserve it:

Step 1:

Enter your credit card information.

Step 2:

Click reserve.

 

Step 3:

If you want to cancel, click cancel and your reservation will be removed from the system.

 

Step 4: 

A confirmation email will be sent to your inbox.

Second Stamparatus Reservation Window Opens December 5

The results are in! The first Stamparatus reservation window reached its maximum number of reservations in just 15 minutes, which provided us with some very important information: You LOVE this new stamping tool! We couldn’t be more thrilled; in fact, your response was so amazing that we’ve decided to make some important adjustments to the reservation process.

As was previously announced, the second reservation window will remain open from December 5–30; however, during this reservation period we will take as many orders as we receive (yay!) and not close the window until December 30. So whether the total number of reservations is 100 or 100,000, the window will stay open!

Please note the following changes:

• Beginning March 19, we will ship Stamparatuses in the order the reservations were received (first in, first out) and continue through the next few months and beyond as product arrives in our warehouse. Because shipment dates are based on manufacturing lead times, not all of the reservations made during the December 5–30 window will ship on March 19 (as was previously announced).
• In order to accommodate demand, limits have changed as follows: one reservation per customer and one per demonstrator.
• Because we are not limiting the maximum number of reservations for the second window, we will not offer a third window. This is the last chance for you and your customers to reserve a Stamparatus before it becomes available in the 2018-2019 annual catalog.

Please note what has not changed:

• If you reserved more than one stamping tool during the first reservation period, that number will not change; you will still receive the same number you reserved.
• If you reserved one or more stamping tool(s) during the first reservation period, you may still order during the second window.
• The reservation window will open at 2:00 PM (MT) on December 5.
