Mystery Hostess!!

You could be my next Mystery Hostess!

The new Mystery Hostess Code is 4ZZPYYXH and this is how it works:

MYSTERY HOSTESS:

With Stampin’ Up!’s announcement  of the new Hostess Code, we can now “pool” Online Orders together (place them individually, orders will ship directly to you – within the US only, but use the same hostess code). When smaller orders are put in together, the larger order qualifies for HOSTESS BENEFITS.

That means FREE STAMPS (or other products) I can SHARE with YOU!

 

So let’s get started with July/August Online Mystery Hostess Workshop!

 

How do you get to be part of the Mystery Hostess Workshop?

Simply use the Hostess Code below and place an order in my Online Store by 11:00 pm on Friday, August 2, 2013.

 

Important: To be part of the Online Mystery Hostess Workshop, once you add your first item to your shopping bag the hostess code must be entered just below the Special Offers section and it should say Stephanie Kolker as the Hostess.

 

Once all the orders are placed, on Saturday morning, August 3, 2013, I will draw ONE name to get hostess benefits on the entire order! I will email the winner to get your choices.

 

Your Hostess Code is: 4ZZPYYXH

 

Ready – Set – GO!! Start placing your orders now!…  Remember, the deadline for this event is 11:00 pm on Friday, August 2, 2013.

 

Please do not put the hostess code in if your merchandise order is $150 or more.  You would lose your hostess benefits that you would have coming already.

The Paper Players Challenge #152 & Color Throwdown #248

This weeks challenge at The Paper Players is a tic tac toe challenge. I'm very excited to do this one as it will be my first.

I also combined this challenge with the Color Throwdown challenge.

I chose the diagonal line from bottom left to top right (embossing, bling, birthday). I thought the colors went well with the card theme. Here's my entry:

All items used are Stampin' Up! products unless otherwise noted.

Pretty in Pink & Cool Caribbean are retired colors. So I substituted Pool Party for Cool Caribbean. I thought it was a pretty close match. I had the Pretty in Pink ink still so I used that but you could easily substitute it with Pink Pirouette (126956) or Blushing Bride (131198). Either would look just as nice!

 

Stamps: Everything Eleanor (124164C) (131987W), Simply Sketched {Hostess} (129672C) (129669W)

 

Ink: Crumb Cake (126975), Pretty in Pink (Retired)

 

Paper: Crumb Cake (120953), Pool Party (122924), Very Vanilla (101650),

 

The Perfect Touch: Clear Embossing Powder (109130), Rhinestone Basic Jewels (119246), Dazzling Details (124117)

 

Cool Tools: Elegant Lines Embossing Folder (Retired), Top Note Die (113463), Big Shot  Die - Cutting Machine (113439), Standard Cutting Pads (113475), Heat tool (129053), Aqua Painters (103954)
