  • The New Paper and Ribbon Shares are Coming!

    product share sample

     

    I finally sat down with my new catalog and decided to put together some product shares for some of the new, cute items in the catalog.

    I don’t know about you, but I think it is so much nicer and easier to figure out which papers and ribbons I really love when I can see the samples in person, plus I always love having lots of options without having to pay for all of the full packages!

    This year, I am offering a few different product shares to help you get a big variety of designs to play with for a fraction of the price.  Check out your options and let me know if you want to sign up for one or more!

    *2012 Designer Paper Share *
    Get a 6×6 piece of EVERY designer paper in the new catalog.  There are 14 packs with 6 designs in each… that means you get 84 different designs in your paper sampler.
    If you bought each paper pack individually, it would be $158 plus tax and shipping!
    Your cost – $23.50 (plus shipping)

     

    *2012 In Color Stitched Satin Ribbon Share*
    I LOVE this new ribbon.  Get 2 yards of each of the 5 new In Colors… so 10 yards total!
    It would cost you $44.75 plus shipping and tax to get all of these colors yourself.
    Your cost – $10.50 (plus shipping)


    add-on option:
    get the coordinating In Color Dahlia embellishments to go with your ribbon.  You get a 1/2 pack of these cute little resin flowers accents to go with your ribbon… that is 10 total flowers.
    Your cost – $4

     

    *Stitched 1/4″ Grosgrain Ribbon Share*
    Get 2 yards of each of the 10 colors of this new ribbon style.  That means you will have 20 yards total to play with.
    Individually, it would cost you $49.50 plus shipping and tax to get these ribbons.
    Your cost – $11.75 (plus shipping)

     

    I’ll be mailing your shares out via USPS Priority mail, so I will be able to package multiple share options together for one low shipping cost!  I’ll be putting in my first order for these products on June 1st, so save your spot now so you can be one of the first to get yours!

     

    Thinking of signing up to be a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator?

    Join my team between now and June 14th and receive your choice of one of the ribbon product shares above!

  • So Long Summer Smooches & the Occasions Mini!

    I got a reminder email last night that told me today was the last day to place orders from the Occasions Mini catalog and I had to pull out my calendar to check…. how in the heck did we hit the end of April already?!?

    But I guess we did, which means today is your last chance to order from the Occasions Mini or anything from the Summer Smooches promotion!

    Like these awesome items are going away, and while I have my fingers crossed that they will make it into the next major catalog, I have no way of knowing if they will or not.

    Seriously, what will I do without the:

    Mixed Bunch Stamp SetBlossom PunchPleated Satin Ribbon
    imageimageimage

    And then there is Summer Smooches.  The Fabric brads have already sold out, but the paper, stamp set, fabric, and digital designs are around for today only.  Then they get stored away until the new catalog comes out.

    I thought I’d share with you a card I made recently as a thank you for an order.  I knew she liked bright colors so I thought I would play off the colors in the Summer Smooches designer paper.

    summer smooches note of thanks

     

    I used the retiring Dot, Dot, Dot stamp to make the dotted background in Real Red ink and took a Real Red strip of cardstock and the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border punch to punch out the edges (I just punched out the scallop ribbon and then cut it in half and used each half with the scallops pointing in-wards.)

    summer smooches note of thanks close up

     

    I also played a bit with my corner rounder punch to curve the opposite corners of each piece of designer paper (and Daffodil Delight cardstock) to play into the pattern and shape of the flowers on the paper.  And then I just popped up each piece with some Stampin’ Dimensionals.

    Oh, and I just realized I used the sentiment from the Thank You Kindly set, another stamp set that is retiring this year.  Sigh… so many great stamp sets headed for retirements.  I’m so sad they are going but am hoping that means even cooler stamps are headed our way with the new catalog!

    So, if you haven’t gotten everything you wanted from the Occasions Mini or Summer Smooches, don’t delay!

    Email me or pop on by my online store and grab them before they are gone tomorrow!

  • It’s Posted! The Full Retiring Accessory List Is Here!

    Oh man, this is always the hardest retirement list for me to read.  I LOVE my embellishments… I know, I know, I hoard them a little too much and don’t use them nearly as much as I should be cause I “don’t want to run out” but it always makes me sad to see some of my favorites won’t be available anymore.

    By the way – when you read the list, you will see all of the ink pads are listed as retiring, that is because full sized craft pads will only be offered in black and white colors and the Classic ink pads will be changing to a new firm foam pad. So, don’t worry, there isn’t a big color change coming. 🙂

    So, here it is… the full list… and it’s a DOOZY!  But at least many of the items are on sale for 25%-70% off!!

  • Framelits Window Card with Vellum

    Once again, I had a card idea that I’ve been sitting on for a while and this week I finally got around to trying it out.  I love how it turned out so much that this will be one of the cards featured in April’s Cards to Go kit (so if you want step-by-step instructions with photos or to have the supplies sent to you to make this card, make sure you sign up by April 5th)!

    Well, I’ve loved how vellum looks when you run it through an embossing folder and the framelits make a perfect window, so I put them together and this came out:

     

    This card also uses the Everyday Enchantment designer paper from the Sale-a-Bration catalog (last day to get it is today!!) and it shows that just because most of the designs look vintage, doesn’t mean you have to make a vintage card with it.  Anyway, used the 2nd and 3rd smallest framelits to make my window and cut all the way through to the inside of my cardbase.  Now, if I had been paying attention, I would have moved the dimensional on my balloon down a little bit… but oh well! :p

     

    And finally, to add a bit of whimsy to my card, I punched out a couple of balloons with baker’s twine cords and attached them below my window.

     

    It isn’t a super fancy card, but I think it has enough cool touches to make it a special card for a special person. Would you agree?

    And, finally, my last reminder…..

    LAST DAY to take advantage of the Sale-a-Bration deals!!

    Don’t miss the great deals:

    • Free product with every $50 you order… this includes stamps, paper, brads, ribbon, embossing folders, cardstock, card kits, etc.  Your choice!  Shop online now.
    • Save $50 when you join my team as a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator!  Get over $345 in supplies for only $125 plus designer paper of your choice for FREE each month for the rest of the year.

    Plus, you earn a punch on your Stampin’ Rewards card for every $40 you spend with me .  So you’ll be stacking awesome deal on top of awesome deal!  Gotta love that!

    So, hope you enjoyed the card today.  I can’t wait to send it out to my Cards to Go folks.  Hopefully it will brighten up their day like it did mine. 🙂

  • 2 Days Left of Sale-a-Bration!

  • Celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with a Special for You!

    Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

    Hopefully today finds you in your finest green attire; even if that just means green inky fingers! 🙂  It’s a day that I mostly get to celebrate these days by digging some green out of my closet and remembering to listen to some great Irish music…or at least Irish singers.  Has anyone heard of the Irish Rovers?  They are a group that my parents used to listen to when I was growing up and I’m definitely feeling the need to see if I can find their album and play it around the house today.

    I’m also feeling like sharing some green with you today as well!  I put together a card for you as well as I’m having a special all day today.

     Every order of $25 or more today will receive a Stampin’ Write marker in the green of your choice

    Fun, huh? 🙂  And after deciding to offer this special, I realized just how many green options there are right now in the Stampin’ Up! color palate:  Old Olive, Certainly Celery, Wild Wasabi, Always Artichoke, Garden Green, Pear Pizzazz, and Lucky Limeade.  So many great options for your projects that need a little green in them.  For my card today, I decided to go with Pear Pizzazz and Always Artichoke:

    I don’t normally have much of a need to make St. Patrick’s Day cards or scrapbook pages, so I don’t tend to have themed crafting supplies on hand.  Luckily, it is easy to pull something together with punches and paper I had lying around!

    I started out with the Paisley Petals designer series paper as the background and the Pear Pizzazz ribbon.  From there, I decided I would finish out the card in a monochromatic fashion, so I stuck to the greens in the paper and ribbon.

    I love making clovers out of punched hearts… so easy and isn’t it just cute?  And I decided to pull out my Stampin’ Write markers and my handy dandy Color Spritzer and get even the white paper in theme with the card.  I spritzed the paper with my Always Artichoke marker for a spackled effect in the center of my card.

    And to finish it all off, I grabbed one of my go-to stamp sets, Teeny Tiny Wishes, because it has a stamp for all holidays including St. Patrick’s Day!  Ta da!

    So, I hope you have a wonderful day and enjoy all the green on display today!
