For years, I’ve been running classes where one of the cards may have a bow on it. And I’ve watched folks struggle with trying to make a smaller bow without either getting your fingers caught or one side of the bow threatening to come out. Now, it is totally possible to tie it like normal,…
Early this morning, Stampin’ Up! released an online copy of the upcoming catalog to demonstrators in the US and Canada. So, of course, while I was up at 2am for a middle of the night feeding for my littlest stamper (4 months old), I started flipping through to see what was in store. Boy, was…
Can I just say I am getting super excited because tonight at 11pm my time, I’ll get to check out the upcoming catalog in full online! I’ll also be placing my preorder of sneak peek products and boxes of catalogs!! So, watch my blog starting late next week for new sneak peek projects. There will…
Today I have a quick card share for you. I’ve been enjoying playing with this style of card design where you punch out an image and use the paper that is left behind as your main image. I grabbed a pack of (retiring) designer paper – Berry Blossoms – and my (retiring) butterfly punch and…
One of my goals right now is to use up my scraps – whether left over pieces when cutting paper or stamped and punched images that I decided not to use on a previous project. So, when I was working on thank you cards for customers, I grabbed some left over pieces of designer paper…
Starting today, its become even easier to get started as a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator as Stampin’ Up! has replaced their starter kit with a lesser expensive 100% customizable kit! Ok, so what does that really mean? Well, starting RIGHT NOW, you can select up to $125 in current products ….ANY products, from ANY current catalog…as…
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…
Good morning! Its been a couple days since the Stampin’ Up! retiring accessory list was released and I’ve been seeing lots of confusion and misinformation out there and so I wanted to take a minute to try to clear some things up for you. Also, scroll down to see an update on what has sold…
Sometimes when a stamp is slated to retire, it makes sense. You can see that the set is looking outdated or there have been new stamps that look almost the same. But then there are the stamps that I just don’t get…. this is one of them. I mean, check out how cool this flower…
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…
One of the stamp sets on the 2012 Retiring Stamps List is the set Charming. This is a cute little set that when it came out was promoted as being the perfect size to use with the Simply Adorned charms. I was slow to try out Simply Adorned and so my set has sadly, not…
Does anyone else have a pile of scraps lying around? Images stamped and even punched but then discarded as not right for your project? Well, I have a HUGE pile of those types of scraps lying around and so I decided it was time to either use them up or find a new home. So,…
