Free Pass to UStamp with Dawn and Friends Get A Jump On Your Jingle


It's time to Get A Jump On Your Jingle!! The 2010 Holiday Papercrafting UStamp with Dawn & Friends has been announced and I will be again returning as a Guest Designer and I have a FREE PASS to give away to you my blog followers...Just leave a comment here by Friday, 8 October at 12 midnight ACDST.

The Holiday season will be here before we know it and how SPECTACULAR it will be for YOU to have FABULOUS Holiday Projects completed with plenty of time to relax and enjoy the wonders of the season. Get A Jump On Your Jingle will give you all the inspiration you will need to help you create all your papercrafting gifts, stamping classes and camps and make your celebrations extra extra special.

No need to stress over the hustle and bustle of trying to create last minute Holiday Gifts...Get A Jump On Your Jingle and sit back an relax when the Holidays arrive. This is going to be a magical holiday event that you do NOT want to miss. All the Designer's have already been hard at work in their papercrafting workshops...designing, cutting, inking, coloring, adhering, folding, tying, layering, primping, sparkling, packaging and of course mixing in LOTS of LOVE & JINGLE in all their super fantastic projects for US.

The Holidays are my favorite time of year and Dawn is excited to announce she will be spreading lots of holiday cheer by giving away even MORE prizes during our Holiday event. She loves giving away prizes and I know you all like winning prizes.

Color Combo's ROCK...Why change a REALLY GREAT thing, right? Well, for the Holiday event we will still include the Color Combo with each project however, we will need to tweak it just a little bit and allow for a few overlaps. 40 Different color combos is just impossible for the Holiday Theme. No worries tho, the Designers are thinking "outside the color combo box" to come up with some extordinary color combos...just not 40 different ones. I know you will agree that 40 projects with 40 coordinating cards & envelopes in 20 days, with NO REPEATS including with PDFS, will definitely help you Get A Jump On Your Jingle!!

I used the Classic Stars Jumbo Wheel ($15.95 for Jumbo Wheel and $10.95 for the Stampin' Around Jumbo Handle) with the Small Star Punch which unfortunately now is retired but you could cut out the smaller stars like I did with the big white one as I don't have the Star Extra-Large Punch ($33.95).

Ink: Pacific Point (Melon Mambo)
Cardstock: Whisper White, Pacific Point (Regal Rose)
Accessories: Small Star Punch, Stampin' Around Jumbo Handle
