CUPCARDS {to go}

another update

Hello. Just an update to LYK all July kits have now been mailed. A friend of mine helped me out and took them to the PO on Monday. So if you haven't received your order yet, it's on the way.  Any orders placed after last Monday, July 12th, will be mailed soon however I dont know when but will do my best to get them mailed in a timely manner. I will email you privately for those of you who placed orders for previous kits.

 a little news about CupCards.....I will be taking a break from kit releases for a few months. NOT closing down, just a little hiadus. I will have new kits just not sure when and hope with all my heart you will all stick with me.  The reason is because my daughter is not doing well. She had a MRI last Friday where the Dr. found a massive tumor on the leftside of her brain. She only has weeks to live and I want to spend those weeks with her, as I am sure you all understand that.  I appreciate all the comments left in the post below, thank you soooooo much. And the emails...you are all wonderful people, friends and customers and I thank you!  I'll be sure to come back here to the home page and post an update as I am able. I will be keeping updates on Baylee over on her webpage: www.adreamforbaylee.com  For now we all need your prayers...me, my husband Duane, and Baylee.  Thank You!

a quick note

hi everyone. just a quick note to LYK I had to take my daughter to the hospital on Wednesday and we've been here since.  So if you placed orders recently I will get to them just as soon as I can.  Most of the July Kits have been mailed and I'll get the rest mailed just as soon as I can too.  Thanks for your understanding!  :)

I've got to let you in on a little secret.  Come closer!  Clossserrrrrrr......  {whisper whisper...I love our July Kit!)  tee hee  ;)  Oh my it's jumping with all kinds of fun colors and items to play with when embellishing your cards!  Weeeeeeeeeeee!!  You are going to love it, too!  Check out this little sneakie......isn't it scrumptious???

And speaking of designers, please welcome Danni Reid! You all know her and love her!  She creates the most whimsical cards and gift sets.  I am so excited to have her on the team permanently!  When I saw what she did with the February Kit as our guest designer I knew she would be a great fit!!  (You can see her February cards here.)  Take a look at this wonderful gift set she made with the April Kit she purchased.  WOWZERS!!  So inspiring, right?  Makes me want a big glass of strawberry-lemonade outside on my chaise.  :)  She'll be inspiring you every month with her wonderful work using our kits!  YAY!

Sneak3 + Sub'r Info

Here is this week's peek although not the best shot.  Sorry about that..we've had crazy cold then super, blazing hot weather here in CALI the last 2 weeks.  Hard to get a good pic indoors.  Now don't go crazy..that's not white string you see there.  I wouldn't send you all string!  HAHA  It's actually this really cool hemp cord I found in WHITE!  GORGEOUS!  And, perfect for tying anything.  Thick and strong.  You'll love it!  The swirly paper is one of my favorites by a new company out of Canada, Upsy Daisy!  The paper is double sided and a good weight, not flimsy.  You'll love that, too!!  And you get 2 sheets!!  WOOT WOOT!  It's a houndstooth print on the other side which I don't have a picture of, but you'll see some of it in the designer sneaks.  (sneaky of me right?  LOL)
 

We have a special treat for you with this kit!!!  Eva Dobilas is our guest designer and you will love, love, LOVE the cards she came up with!!  Take a look at these 2 sneaks below.  Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!  (pssst...she has even more sneaks on her blog! Go check 'em out!)
 
 

You can see loads more sneaks on the designers blogs.  Just click here, here, here and here.  :D


Info about Subscriptions
I wanted to let you all know that we will no longer be offering subscriptions.  It was a tough decision.  However, since we are such a small company (and by "we" I mean ME...I run the business by myself) it made sense to go back to a completely non-commitment type of club.  It's very time consuming keeping up with a subscriber list and that is time I would rather spend creating awesome kits just for YOU!  Not to mention creating some cards of my own.  ;)  My passion is more on the creative side of things and I'd like to find that again.  :)  Starting in June we will go back to having our kits debut on the 1st of the month as a buy-it-now option, just like it used to be.  First come-first served.  We have significantly increased our numbers in hopes that we have enough kits to go around.  I will continue to share sneak peeks every Monday up to reveal day so please make sure to visit the site and come back on the 1st when kits go on sale.  The kits will not change...we will still have main kits and mini kits available at the same prices they are now.  

Heads up!  During the month of June we will have several sneak peeks to promote our July kit!  SNEAKS on Monday's AND several (and I mean sev-er-al) stamp giveaways you will not want to miss.  It's sure to satisfy your scrapbooking sweet tooth.  ;)  So don't wait for the "Monday email" to reach you!  Check back on the home page each day to see if there is another giveaway OR if you are a winner!!  The fun begins on June 8th!

 

Hope you all had a great Memorial Day Weekend with family and friends!
Have a great week!

May Sneak3

Last peek for you all before the May Kits go on sale.  I hope you all like this kit...it's one of my favs!  ENJOY and see you on Friday, May 1st!  :)
 

May Sneak2 + stamp winner!

Hi all!  Sorry I didn't get a peek posted last week.  After being sick for so long I had a lot of catching up to do.  Our guest designer and  her challenge are posted below so be sure to check it out.  Isn't her card beauuuutiful!?

So here I am with another wonderful sneak peek for you.  I just love this color combo....and, of course, the butterflies. ;)  Preeeeettttttttttttttiiiiies!!  I'm sure you're thinking how does orange, yellow and brown tie in with the pink and aqua flowers in the post below.  Hmmmmmmm?  Well, you'll have to wait till next week's peek to find out.  The little stinker in me is going to wait another week.  LOL
 

By random draw, our little birdie stamp winner goes to Tonya!!  YAY TONYA!!  Email me your mailing address (info@cupcardstogo.com) and we'll get your stamp out to ya.  Thanks everyone for all your wonderful comments.  Really nice of you.  We'll have another giveaway very soon. :) 

April Guest Designer

Time to meet our April Guest Designer,Carla Peicheff!!  Her card creations are simply amazing!  Head on over to her blog and take a peek.  You'll be drooling...just a little warning there for ya so take a napkin with you.  :)

Carla also offers a challenge for all of you.  And, since April is EARTH MONTH, I think it is very appropriate.  :)

Hello ladies! 

I am so excited to be joining you this month as a guest designer! I hope you found my reveal inspiring! I had so much fun working with Cassonda’s kit, absolutely scrumptious!! Yum! I have a little challenge for you this month called, “Waste Not, Want Not”! In your card kit you will have received a gorgeous pkg of Dream Street rub-ons!

Well... i want you to take that backing, and ‘reuse’ & ‘recycle’ it into one of your card creations!! You can see on mine I used the backing for the base of my baby card! I love nothing more than lined/graph pp... unique & fun! So let’s see you “Waste not, Want not!” Please post your creations in the gallery or on this thread or leave a link here in the comments section for me to see and at the end of the month i’ll draw a random name to win a RAK compliments of moi!! 

Have fun ladies, I can’t wait to see what you come up with!! 

Here's my card:

May Sneak1 + a giveaway!

Hi everyone!  April kits have shipped!  I'm sure some of you have received them already and are getting CARD CREATIVE!  Please share your cards with us in the gallery!  I would love to include them in the weekly newsletter.  And don't forget to look for the CHERRY on the inside of your box lid.  :)

April Showers bring May flowers right?  Well, take a look at this MAY sneak peek!  These arrived last week.
Oh.
My.
Gosh!
I cannot even begin to tell you how much I love them!!  You will too!! 

YUMMMMMMM-O!!

   

How about we have another stamp giveaway this week!  I love giving away stamps...so fun!  This one is a cute little bird.  I think a fun little addition to the May kit.  ;)  Leave a comment for a chance to win!  Good Luck!
