About Me

Midway, NC, United States
I retired from Bali Bras, Sara Lee Intimates. Married in Oct 1976. I love meeting new people so hope to hear from you. Drop me a line. I've been doing crafts of all kinds since I was a kid. I loved making things and especially things that are recycled. I had never stamped until 2001 when I went to a stamp class while on vacation. We went to a local store to buy the stamps we had used. OUCH. When we got home I saw a Stampin Up catalog and realized how much money I could save with their stamps and best part as they are sets that go together which makes for easy card making. After doing some thinking I decided I should sign up as a demo and see what happens. I didn't know the first thing about stamping and still learning. Retired from Sara Lee Intimates in Feb 2001. I was in sales after many years, since age 18, as an office person, secretary, office assistant, etc. I am out of Stamping Up since Spring 2017 but still have lots of supplies!!!! These days I'm back to quilting and having a great time.

New punch designs are coming with the new catalog


Starting with the new 2010 Occasions Mini Catalog and continuing with all new punch designs going forward, Stampin' Up! has adopted a new body style for our punches!

I must say that I really like the design as it locks down so it's not so junky. Great storage solution. You'll want to check them out. Remember some are already in the new mini catty so consider trying one. Call me if you want to try one, Joan Lowder, 336-764-3546.

A few features of the new punch style:

•Low-profile, rectangular punch body allows for easier stacking and storing
•Punches lock shut for easier storage and transport
•Dual labels on top and end allow for easy identification and selection when stored
•Available in three sizes: small, medium, and extra-large

•New punches allow for larger punched images and more intricate designs while providing greater ease of use.

◦Extra -large punch images also allow for two-step designs like the Two-Step Bird punch in the Occasions Mini Catalog

•Corner punches allow you to punch a corner design along the inside edges of a page, not just corners

•larger, whole-hand handle design provides better leverage for easier use

•Available in an exclusive Stampin' Up! color
Part of Stampin' Up!'s commitment to providing demonstrators and customers with the very best crafting tools includes the belief in what we call continuous improvement. Essentially what this means is that even if something works very well, but we see a chance to improve it, we will work to make it even better. While new punch designs will be in the new body style, existing designs will remain in the existing body style for now. We will communicate any further changes as those decisions are made.

My Blog

May, 2009 when I started the blog and it's still a learning experience even in 2017.

If you are ever looking for a retired stamp set, ask me, I might have it and let it go.

As a follower you'll get emails when I post things which I tend to do in batches, once or twice a month once I get back on schedule.

Thanks for stopping by and I appreciate all comments.
