So the weekly deals this week has lots of star goodness and I don’t know about you, but I find stars are such a versatile shape that they are great for any type of card or project I need. So I thought I’d share some ideas with you of some of my favorite projects using the Star Framelits and Star Embossing folder that are 25% off through Monday!
And btw – I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Remarkable You stamp set… and getting it on sale too… swoon!
Ok, but back to stars, check out some of the fun you can have with them:
Holiday card using the Stars Framelit and Stars embossing folder from my Endless Wishes Class Kit – Get more project details here
I love, love, love new catalog releases! So much cute stuff and the new 2015 Stampin’ Up Holiday Catalog does NOT disappoint! I was so trying to be good but I already preordered most of the catalog. I can’t wait to start posting all of the fun stuff I’ve made and received! Tomorrow the kiddos head off to start school. So with some quiet in the house it will be awesome and so much easier to start cranking out fun new videos, classes, and projects for you!
But while we are off enjoying the last day of Summer… here is the fun stuff you can check out today!
Need some ideas to get you started? Here are a couple projects that I love showing you a couple of my favorite items in the weekly deals this week:
Gold Glimmer Paper and any of the punches! I LOVE this glimmer paper for stars. Use it as a punched out star or make it a little more subtle by making it show through BEHIND the punch out! Doesn’t it go perfect with the White Christmas stamp set (thankfully still available this year!)
Pansy Punchand the Flower Shop stamp set or any patterned stamp or paper Use it to create fun flower cards and great pop-up cards like this one! I even have the instructions written out on the original post for this card so you can make it with your favorite cardstock and pair the Pansy Punch with the Petite Petal punch bundle for cute layered flowers!
Get details and the freePDF instructions for creating this pop up box card here
I also have a fun new card using the silver glitter to share in the next day or two, so stay tuned for that!
Local and want to save on shipping? I’ll be placing a group order TONIGHT and would be happy to add in your Weekly Deal order and save you a few bucks on shipping! Just let me know by tonight at jennifer@nwstamper.com.
I can’t believe that summer is winding down… its been fun, its been crazy… but I have to admit I’m looking forward to school starting back up and the family getting back on the regular routine. Can anyone relate?
Over the last few weeks, we’ve had so much going on that I haven’t done a lot of creating and thus the blog got a bit neglected. But finally over the last week, I’ve started finding my way back into my craft room and after some time spent CASE’ing some great cards I feel like the mojo is coming back! Here is some of what I’ll be photographing for the blog today:
I also have new classes going up on the schedule today too! Including:
August 25th – Terrific Techniques: Exploding Boxes (in person or class by mail)
August 30th – Watercolor Wishes Card Stamp-a-Stack
September 3rd – Monthly Card Night

Happy Tuesday! Today is a new morning and there are new weekly deals! Lots of fun cute stuff including the amazing tag topper punch, cute classic buttons, and washi tape! Check it out:
When I saw the washi tape, I was reminded of this card and thought the tape on sale would be a cute way to update this card…what do you think?
I created a video to show how to make this card and tips for getting your washi tape straight. Check out the original post for all the tips and to watch the video!

So much to share today including a new stamp set that I love and some of my Fun new goodies from the holiday catalog!
Holiday Catalog Pre-Preorder Walkthrough
As a convention attendee, we got the opportunity to preorder a select set of items from the upcoming Holiday Catalog while we were there! I had to jump on getting a few items early before the main preorder starts today. My order came in last night and so I had to do a quick video to share it since I know I’m not the only person who CAN’T WAIT to see what is new and coming! I show what I have and open all my packs of paper so you can see all the patterns since I can’t post a video of all the pages of the catalog yet.
(Though, did you know? If you pick up the Stampin’ Up starter kit starting today, you can get ANYTHING from the Holiday Catalog in you kit? So you can preorder too!)
I also shared some items I got from the Annual Catalog as well including this Remarkable You stamp set. I had totally passed it by everytime I had gone through the catalog and then while I was at convention, I saw SO MANY awesome samples with it that I knew I had to have it. So, it came on my order. I shared one of the cards yesterday, but here are 5 more ideas to get you going:
Just a reminder – new weekly deals are out and 25% off! You can grab yours in the online store or by emailing me… but just a heads up……
PSST – Clearance Rack Updates are coming TOMORROW (8/5)!
Just wanted to let you know that a little birdie told me that tomorrow the Clearance Rack will be updated with new items. I’m not sure what is coming but you know I’ll be up and checking it out. I would shop early and let me know by noon tomorrow if you want anything from the clearance rack so I can snag it before things start selling out.
Finally, if you missed it:
Get Half Off the First 2 Months of a New Paper Pumpkin Subscription
Yup! If you haven’t tried Paper Pumpkin yet, or took a break and have considered coming back, don’t miss this deal. NOTE – if you had a prior subscription, you will need to start a new subscription with a DIFFERENT email address to get the 50% off discount of your first 2 months
It is a Tuesday Quickie here! Just wanted to make sure you had heard about the latest deals… especially since they are so cute!
New Weekly Deals
I’ll be putting in an order today and possibly another later in the week. So you can either email me with what you want or start shopping online here – See the Weekly Deals in the Store
New Paper Pumpkin Promotion
While I was at convention, Stampin’ Up also announced a new Paper Pumpkin promotion. So if you haven’t subscribed before, or stopped a while back, this may be a great time to give it a go.
This is an awesome deal given that it typically runs $19.95, which is also a great deal because each month we get:
Exclusive subscriber only stamp sets
Precut cardstock & accessories
All the ribbons & embellishments
INK! (guaranteed different colors each month for at least 12 months!)
A clear block with your first kit that you can use with ALL the stamps in future kits
Extra supplies – just in case you need them
Exclusive access to purchase refill kits (everything but the stamps and ink for only $8!) or complete extra kits while supplies last! (see them online here)
Its an exciting week around here! Tomorrow I head to Salt Lake City for the big Stampin’ Up convention and I can’t wait! This is the last year that they are holding this style of Convention event (they are changing to a new global event starting in November) so I’m glad I get to go be a part of the summer convention send off.
Of course, like usual, I’m still scrambling to pack and work on my swaps…
Each year I think I’ve designed an “easy” swap to mass produce and then I start working and realize each swap requires a ton of punching and glueing They aren’t hard to make just time consuming when you are trying to make 60+. I expect I’ll be still assembling on the plane tomorrow, but that is half the fun, right? ha ha ha
In the meantime, for those of you not joining me in Salt Lake City, I’ll be posting realtime updates as long as my phone holds up over on my Facebook page… and Facebook had gotten a little crabby with how they show posts, so you may have to start actually visiting my page to make sure you catch them all because FB tends to stop showing posts from pages you like if they post too often or the “wrong” type of posts (like if I post too many pictures, they stop showing all of them on your walls). It is silly but I’ll keep posting anyway!
I’ll also post up summaries late each night here on the blog.
CONVENTION SPECIAL!
Double Reward Punches = Free Stamps in half the time! July 21 – 26, 2015
While I’m away, I’m offering double punches all week long! For every $40 in product you purchase get not 1 but 2 punches on your Northwest Stamper Rewards punch card. So $40 = 2 punches, $80=4 punches and so on.
Once you have 10 punches on your card, you can pick out any stamp set in the catalog or online to receive free from me! Sweet, right?
Each time you make a purchase, you will want to track it on the punch card and note the date of your order
Once you have filled all 10 spots, email me to let me know which stamp set you want along with the dates of your orders to confirm punch card completion.
NOTE – you are responsible for tracking your own orders
As I head into the studio to work on tomorrow’s Walkthrough Wednesday video (cutting it a little close this week ) I wanted to make sure you had the latest on the newest Weekly Deals as well as I just heard word about the Watercolor Wishes card kit too!
Watercolor Wishes Card kit – They are running low!
If you are like me and super excited to get your hands on the new Watercolor Wishes card kit, don’t delay on placing your order! They just told us this morning that this kit has been SOOOO popular that they expect to sell through their original 13 week forecast of kits in just 2 weeks. So they before the week is out, they will likely go on backorder. I’m ordering some today, let me know if you need any!
The kits include:
a cute stamp set
pre-printed card bases for 20 cards
all the die cut accents and embellishments for the cards
Ok, off to start recording! If you have any requests or feedback on what YOU would like to see on the WALKTHROUGH WEDNESDAYs, I’d love to hear from you!
So, if you didn’t catch it last week, the Weekly Deals have changed up this month…instead of being a discount all week long, Stampin’ Up has chosen MORE items and offered them at a up to 30% off! Which is more than the 25% off they typically offer weekly deals. But the catch is, they are only available in Limited quantities so if you have a favorite, snag it early.
Here is what is up this week:
And here are a few things I’ve made with some of the sale items recently that I loved:
Love using theOrnate Tag Topper by punching BOTH ends of a strip of paper to make a fun tag
And the Hamburger box die is the cutest thing you will ever see! This was one of my favorite designs – created by Sherry Bueche – and you should check out her blog post here for more cute ideas using this box! Then snag it while you can get it for 30% off
Have fun creating and I’ll be back tomorrow with a new Walkthrough Wednesday – this time sharing one of the Fun Fold cards we made in last weeks class!
Hold the presses! I had other plans for my blog post today but when I saw theWeekly Deals this week, I had to make sure you saw them too! Especially because one of my favorite dies right now is $10 off!!!
Seriously Folks – this is an awesome set of deals!
From the Stars Embossing Folder: see the blog post here
Switch up the colors and sentiment of this card to make it a fun Birthday Card!
But most especially, the Mini Treat Bag thinlit die set!
I love this die and have shown it a few times on my videos. Here is the official video though:
Plus you can see the accessories used with the complimentary You’re So Sweet stamp set for my recent Walkthrough Wednesdays!
