Where, What, How to buy... The Shopping Guide my special nsd activities tour..
Hello my dear friends; Thanks for downloading this small “Shopping Guide”; I thought it was a good idea making a special Booklet for guiding you through the endless ocean of National Scrapbooking Day Sales and goodies. Sometimes I feel lost as well, because there are so many designers I would like to purchase
what expecting from each of my shops. This obviously implicates the fact that you may find different sales and/or promotion on each of them, even If I tried to keep a common line.
Sale, 40% off at all my stores
All my stores are 40% off. This general sale doesn’t

As you to single packs only. probably already know, I sell at different shops and it’s not always so easy making everything in the way that they have all the same stuff sold for the same prices. Each shop has its own life, its own calendar, its own rules and benefits.
Cu Misc Packs

Now you can create endless frames, just turn on your imagination. The templates are fully editable. You can modify the color combinations by changing the hue of the color tabs for the frame, the stroke and the 3d depth. The 3d depth is a sort of inner level to give the multidimensional effect and it can be optionally turned off.

Pu Retiring Bundles... Pu Retiring Bundles Great savings before theyì' a’re gone!
I really think this is the best moment to retire a few of older collections. I have a total of 24 PU Collections to retire! I split them into 6 volumes of 4 Collections each. Only at the Studio you will find ALL them. At my personal shop I’m running only first 3 volumes. And you won’t find any of them in other shops, because they aren’t as old as DSS is and I never uploaded those collections in these new shops. 1. PU Retiring Bundle NSD 2015 Vol.1 It includes CandyLand {Bundle}, Thanksgiving {Bundle}, Tulips {Bundle}, Wonder Village {Bundle}. 2. PU Retiring Bundle NSD 2015 Vol.2 It includes Eternally {Bundle}, Glorious Times {Bundle}, Melancolia {Bundle}, Nostalgica {Bundle}. 3.

Pu Retiring Bundles... Pu Retiring Bundles oldies but goodies, exclusive deals
As I told you, I’m running the last 3 volumes at the Studio only. Why? Because during the update of the new shop, I’ve found a lot of older collections in the server. Instead of removing them, I found it was a good idea to offer you a last opportunity to grab them for a very special price. Remember, they will be definitively removed from the shop on May 16; You can purchase them till May 15. 1. PU Retiring Bundle NSD 2015 Vol.4 - Exclusive It includes Enchanted Winter Night {Bundle}, Housewife {Bundle}, Incantion {Bundle}, It’s finally my day {Bundle}. 2.

A new face, a new shop! The New Studio software How amazing…
How many times I’ve told you about the new shopping software at the Studio? Well, we’re finally again on the way, in a new server, with a new face, a new site and a new powerful e-shop! I can’t express in simple words how excited I am. The boss and her wonderful admin team members, did a fantastic job and they guided us step by step into the integration of our shops with the new software. The advantages are a lot, and as customer I already appreciated the new set up. The aim of the Studio is always the same, of course, but we have finally turned our shop into a professional platform, full of important features for customers, and ready to satisfy all your needs. The classification of the products is absolutely smarter and now you can filter also by color, which is probably one of the most interesting aspects of the total restyling. Colors are our food, aren’t they? As customer and as designers, colors represent everything. And you have finally the chance to look for products by filtering them according specific color combinations. I find it great!

Hello, Hello! For this project I used the wonderul Sakura Scrap kit, available at Valentina’s store here. Hello Girls, Annamaria here. Nice to meet you again here, among the wonderful activities from Valentina’s Creations and team! Today is a super day: we are going to use the SAKURA KIT, one of the best ever in my opinion. And I will guide you, step by step, to make an elegant card. This card fits perfectly the oriental theme. Print at least 4 page from the kit, as you like.
STEP 1 To make the card base you need a 120 degree pie shape card stock with 5” radius. Score and fold in half.
STEP 2 Draw a half circle with 4 3/4” radius on a piece of DP. Cut out the half circle. Mark and score every 15 degree angle from the radial centre.

Step 6: Finish the card front and back with DP, stamp image, and/or embellishments. I used the Big Shot machine to cut some dies.
After assembling all the parts you will have a beautiful fan card! I liked to put a pocket with 2 tags inside. The gheisha are wonderful!!
Inside the card a little cap with the girl, and a sentiment, handwritten.
Below you can see the magic inside of the card. I absolutly love it. Thanks for reading! Don’t hesitate to send me feedbacks! Annamaria.
