Share What You Love Bundle Class

Back in May, Stampin’ Up! Offered a Gotta Have It All Bundle which included everthing in the Share What You Love Suite, plus vanilla cardstock and envelopes, and a special limited edition stamp. It was a great deal!

I promised a FREE class to everyone who purchased this bundle, and we were finally able to find a good time for the class. There were a couple of people who couldn’t make it, but those who did had a great time!

We made several projects in this class, including this sampler.

Stamps: Love What You Do, Statement of My Heart (limited edition)

Cardstock: Old Olive, Rich Razzleberry, Very Vanilla

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Mossy Meadow, Rich Razzleberry, Tranquil Tide, Daffodil Delight, Mint Macaron, Blackberry Bliss

DSP: Share What You Love Specialty DSP

Dies/Punches: Layering Ovals Framelits Dies, Triple Banner Punch

Other: Pearlized Doilies, Rich Razzleberry 1/4” Velvet Ribbon, Share What You Love Embellishment Kit, Share What You Love Artisan Pearls, Lovely Floral Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Sponge Daubers, 9” Square Frame

I’ll be making this again later this month with my team. If you’d like to be a member of my team, I’d love for you to join us! Just click on the Join Now tab at the top of the page.

I hope you enjoyed this project. Stay tuned for more things we made in this special class.

‘Tis The Season! The 2018 Stampin’ Up! Holiday Catalog has arrived!!

The holiday season will soon be upon us and what better way to kick off the holidays than with the 2018 Stampin’ Up! Holiday catalog that runs from September 5, 2018 through January 2, 2019. So get out your wish list and jot down the awesome products you’ll need to create your own holiday cheer!

There are seven suites in the holiday catalog, some of the nicest I’ve seen. All Is Bright contains beautiful photographic images that can be both elegant and playful. Festival Farmhouse includes farmhouse imagery and distressed accents that will make your projects cozy and homey. Santa’s Workshop will help you craft the perfect Christmas – just like Santa. The Joyous Noel suite will allow you to deck your halls with elegant touches of copper. Frosted Floral has soft and dreamy florals with a frosted look you can use all year long. Country Lane will help you create the feel of country comfort wherever you live. And finally, Toil & Trouble will bewitch you and your loved ones with cute projects for Halloween.

Like the Darling Label Punch Box, it includes a 6-piece photopolymer stamp set, a clear stamp block, Call Me Clover and Real Red Classic Stampin’ Spots, and the Christmas Traditions Punch that all fit in a beautiful 8” x 8” tin. This would make a great gift for a crafty friend or family member.

Color Your Season Christmas

In this month’s Stamp Club, we used this limited edition bundle to make two different cards, a Thank You and a Christmas Card.

On this card, we adhered the outside piece directly to the card and popped up the label in the center. On the Thank you card, we did the opposite. If you missed the Thank You card, you can find it here.

It’s pretty hard to see, but we used the new Tufted TIEF on the background. And, can you see that the holly berries are shiny? That’s so easy to do by just adding some fine tip glue on top of them. But, be sure to let that dry completely.

Stamps: Blended Seasons

Cardstock: Old Olive, Whisper White

Ink: StazOn Jet Black, Old Olive

Paper: Under The Mistletoe DSP

Dies: Stitched Seasons

Other: Tufted Dynamic TIEF, Aquapainter, Real Red Stampin’ Write Marker, 1/8” real red ribbon, mini gold sequins.

If you’d like this bundle, order quickly, as it’s only available for a few more days and supplies are limited! If you’d like more information on this bundle, you can find it here.

Color Your Season Thank You

The Blended Seasons Bundle is available ONLY during the month of August, so if you’d like this one, order soon!

We used the bundle in Stamp Club this month. It’s a lovely bundle, with something for all four seasons! If you missed my earlier post on this, you can find it here.

The dies are particularly pretty because they have 3 different sized labels with faux stitching on both the inside and the outside of the cut. It was just too pretty to discard either one, so we used both pieces on our cards in class.

On this card, the outside is popped up with dimensionals, while the inside stamped piece is adhered flat to the front of the card. This was my original sample.

Stamps: Blended Seasons

Cardstock: Granny Apple Green, Whisper White

Ink: StazOn Jet Black

Dies: Stitched Seasons

Other: Watercolor Pencils Assortment 1 and 2, Blender Pen, Basic Pearl, Stampin’ Blends, Subtle Dynamic TIEF, Basic Black Twine

After seeing some of the color choices of my club members, I had to make more of these!

We even colored the basic pearls using the Stampin’ Blends to match the flowers. So, what do you think? Which color do you like best?

Let’s Get Spooky!

We don’t often get clues to what is going to be in a Paper Pumpkin kit, so I’m excited to know that next month’s will be a Halloween kit!

Now, the contents are still a surprise, but for those of you who LOVE Halloween (and I know that’s a LOT of you), be sure to sign up for Paper Pumpkin by September 10th to get this kit. I wouldn’t wait until the last minute, because there are a limited number available!

If you aren’t yet familiar with Paper Pumpkin, it’s a monthly kit that includes everything you need (except scissors) to complete the project, and is delivered directly to your door! It even includes ink and an exclusive stamp set for only $19 a month.

You can order Paper Pumpkin in two ways. You can do a monthly subscription, where your credit card is billed once a month, or you can order a pre-paid subscription of one month, three months, six months, or even twelve months (you’ll save money with some of these).

If you’d like to sign up for the monthly subscription, visit www.paperpumpkin.com and be sure to list me as your demonstrator. If you’d like to order a pre-paid subscription, contact me for details!

Celebrating 30 Years!!

It’s Finally Here! – Celebrating 30 Years – The New Annual Stampin’ Up! Catalog

Don’t you just love receiving a new and shiny catalog from your favorite store in the mail? How about a copy of the new 2018-2019 annual catalog from Stampin’ Up!: LOVE IT – LIVE IT – SHARE IT. 30 YEARS OF LOVING WHAT WE DO.

There are some great new project kits, and some all-inclusive kits that you won’t want to miss. The project kits require additional products like inks and stamps, but the all-inclusive kits have everything you need to create the projects.

The catalog has been broken down into numerous suites:

1) Tea Room – dainty, delicate images and elegant touches of copper;

2) Animal Expedition – makes any occasion a fun adventure and is perfect for the little ones in our lives;

3) Delightfully Detailed – gorgeous, detailed laser-cut images paired with watercolor wash designs;

4) Best Route – products designed for all your adventures, including some great designer series paper perfect for masculine cards;

5) Broadway Bound – bold images and marquee signs to make a big statement on your projects;

6) Twinkle Twinkle – leave your little ones seeing stars when you share your stellar creations;

7) Under the Mistletoe – create gorgeous greenery to celebrate the Christmas season;

8) Petal Promenade – infuse your projects with elegant photographic images and messages of encouragement;

9) Tropical Escape – experience the lush feel of the tropics without leaving home;

10) Garden Impressions – bring a flower garden blooming to life on your projects;

11) Nature’s Poem – beautiful, natural images designed to use with a variety of techniques;

12) Tranquil Textures – images and embellishments designed to give your projects gorgeous texture;

13) Graceful Glass – the grace and elegance of stained glass;

14) Share What You Love – a suite to celebrate 30 years of Stampin’ Up! and loving what you do.

And what would a new catalog be without some beautiful new embellishments – leaf trinkets, blossoms elements, and tinted faceted buttons. I could go on and on but then I would ruin it for you by not letting you discover the new catalog on your own.

A new catalog is much more than just beautiful products and projects. It’s a bridge that brings people together, and in some cases, changes lives for good. If you haven’t gotten your new catalog yet, let me know, and get ready to create some handmade happiness!
