“Barbara’s Masterpieces”

Hi everyone!

 

I am SUPER EXCITED to introduce:

"Barbara's Masterpieces"  What IS this you say?

 

Well, my dear friend, Diana Gibbs, from Queen's Creek, Arizona  started this program for her customers a while ago. I have always been intrigued by how beautiful and fun they are!  Diana is a very talented Demonstrator . So a few months ago I contacted her and asked if I may copy her program! 

Diana is a gracious person and said -'of course" –so here it is!

How does it work?   Simple –all you need to do is place any $50 product order (excluding shipping and tax) and I'll send you the current "Barbara's Masterpiece".

Each month I'll have a new one –but if you place a $100 product order in one month, you'll get TWO –but both will be different!

 

And WHAT exactly are they?  Well here is a photo of my May Mini:

The size is about 1 1/2" by 2 1/2". they are very small but I think VERY cute and beautiful (even if I DO say so myself!!! LOL). There is a LOT of work on each one. Stamping, coloring, pearls, bling, ribbons, buttons, brads, Crystal Effects, GLITTER!!!, embelishments and a TON OF LOVE as I make them!

 

Ok –now what to YOU do with them??? well–the possibilities are endless!!

  • You could make it into a card –I've done most of the work. All you'd need to do is provide a card base and maybe an embossed layer and pop it on!
  • You could put it in a mini frame. Check this out:

  • You could collect maybe 3 of them and put in a larger frame.
  • You could adhere one to the front of a gift card enclosure.
  • You could add it to a scrap book page.
  • You could use it as a favor–copy the idea and make a lot of them!
  • You could keep them for your own collection!

The possibilities are endless!

SO friends –that's how it works!  ANY order* —through my online store or in person qualifies for "Barbara's Masterpieces".

*(does not include Club orders, Stamp Camps, Barbara's Bucks or group events)

 So friends –as soon as you place a qualifying order, expect one of MY mini masterpeices in the mail!

AND CONGRATS to Jackie T. in Worcester, Mass–she is my FIRST recipient of May's Masterpiece! Hope you like it Jackie!

Ok friends–now to get some classes listed! Stay tuned!

hope to hear from YOU soon!

hugs, Barbara

PS  isn't this card CUTE?? We made this last night at my BMW's card class!

IMG_20140502_151036_121

It's a tad hard to see but we used a NEW stamp set called 'Work of Art' , plus Island Indigo, Pool Party, Crushed Curry and Wild Wasabi inks AND GOLD SEQUINS!! ( a girl can NEVER have enough bling or glitz!)   Isn't it cute? Avant-garde a bit? I LOVE it and so did my BMWS!!!!

I of course copied/tweaked it but can not find the kind demonstrator who shared it with us!  BUT thank you dear soul!

Have a great weekend friends!

hugs again!,

Barbara

“Leaving on a jet plane,,,,don’t know when I’ll be back again….”

Ok well I do know when I'll be back! Actually I'm going to Tucson on Wednesday. I am so excited to be attending a conference hosted by Stampin Up Demonstrators Lisa Pretto's, Janet Wakeland and Mary Fish. It's going to be lots of fun and a jammed packed info session!
We are doing SWAPS… Of course what event would be complete without SWAPS????
So here is mine..
What do you think?

I used the Gold Foil paper along with Tangerine Tango and our Watercolor Wonder DSP. Gold is so trendy now so I also used our Sequins and tiny pearls as accents. Punched out a few Petite Petal flowers and voila! I hope they like it!
Ok friends… Will keep you updated!
Hugs
Barbara
