Today Stampin' Up! shared a very exciting announcement with their demonstrators, and I am thrilled to tell you all about this upcoming special. From November 24th through December 2nd Stampin' Up! will be offering the New Demonstrator Kit at 25% off.  That means you will get $125 in product for only $75 (with FREE shipping)!  This is an excellent deal, not only for the obvious savings, but in addition to savings you will get:

I am so very thankful each and every day for the flexibility I have being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator and for all the wonderful friends I have made (both customers and fellow demonstrators).  If you are interested in enjoying the freedom of running your own business, saving money on your paper crafting supplies,  and having tons of fun every time you go to "work", you won't want to miss out on this special.  Be sure to mark your calendar for November 24th!

MAKING SPIRITS BRIGHT!

If you are a regular Rubber Room Ramblings blog reader, you know I have been blessed with an awesome group of SU! demonstrators that I love!  Our Demo Diva night is always one of my favorite nights in the Rubber Room.  This is the card Linda shared with us at our Diva Night this past week.

This is the inside of Linda's card.

Linda used the Making Spirits Bright stamp set from the Holiday Catalog.  Our standing joke with Linda is that she always (and I do mean ALWAYS) has to find a stamp in her collection that I do not have, and she tempts me so much that I have to purchase it.  And, she has lived up to her reputation once again!  It is hard to see from the photo, but on the front of the card, we made little score lines that come together where the rhinestones for the holly are.  The image is attached with dimensionals to the inside of the card, and then it shows through the punched square on the front of the card.  Thank you, Linda, for sharing your creative talents with us, and for, once again, feeding into my stamping addiction.

WONDEROUS WREATH FLIP CARD FROM DIVA NIGHT!

I love my Demo Diva Night, and I wish we could get together more than once a month.  This group of ladies are such dear friends and so very, very talented.  I always learn a new technique or trick, and it is such a great opportunity for lots of laughter.  My husband would swear we were all drinking from the sounds of glee and happiness escaping the Rubber Room.  I will be sharing thelovely projects we made with you all week long, so be sure to stop back by.

Last night I shared a project  I was very excited about.  It was a flip card made with the Wonderous Wreath Stamp Set and matching Framelits Dies.  I saw this card on Pinterest and watched a quick video, and now I am hooked.  I cannot wait to use this technique for a card with my star framelits dies and the hearts for Valentine's day and weddings.  I have lots of uses for this technique!

Here is the card I shared last night with the Divas. This is all closed up,

and this is opened up.

It was very easy to do.  You cut your card stock at 5 1/2" by 8 1/2" and score on the 8 1/2" side at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4".  Then you put your wreath framelits onto the card stock with the 2 1/8" score line in the middle of the wreath.  Set your Big Shot up with a magnetic plate, an acrylic plate, your card stock with the framelits on it, and then place your top acrylic plate so it is sitting on your 2 1/8" score line.  This will make it so the top half of your wreath framelit does not have an acrylic plate on top of it, and it won't get cut out.  Then run the sandwich through your Big Shot.  Then take off your outside wreath framelit (the largest one) and leave your smaller wreath framelit in place.  Put your top acrylic plate on top of the wreath framelit (covering the entire wreath) and put it through your Big Shot. This will cut out the inside of the wreath.  I used my Stamp-a-Majig to line the words up in the center of the wreath.  I hope you will give this technique a try.

BANNER BLESSINGS, NEWEST PHOTOPOLYMER STAMP SET FROM STAMPIN' UP!

I have totally fallen in love with the Photopolymer Stamp Sets by Stampin' Up!  They are terrific quality stamps and completely clear.  Being complete clear is so important, because it allows me to strategically place my stamped images EXACTLY where I want them.  The latest photopolymer offering is going to be a well-used favorite of mine in no time at all.  

Here are a few samples using this stamp set.

This card features the Four Feathers Stamp Set and Feathers Framelits Dies, which can be bundled (purchased together) at a 15% discount.  These items are available in the Holiday Catalog.

This is a Chevron Tag A Bag Gift Bag (10 packs are only $3.95), and it has been accessorized with some Designer Series Paper, a miniature Clothespin (24 for only $3.95) and some of the Natural and Old Olive Two-Tone Trim from the Holiday Catalog.

This is one of my favorite samples!  I love the "bling"added with the Gold Foil Sheets, the Fancy Foil Designer Vellum, the 1/8" Gold Ribbon (I love how she curled it) and the Gold Sequin Trim. When you combine all that gold with the gorgeous Blackberry Bliss Stampin' Up! new In Color, this becomes a very elegant card that is breathtaking!
