The new Stampin’ Up! 2015-16 Annual Catalog launch is just around the corner!  And in preparation for its release, I’m ordering in cases and cases of new catalogs.  Those customers who are receiving May Card Shoppe kits will receive a new catalog in the mail along with your kits at the end of May!  If you’ve purchased a minimum of $100 through me this past year, you will automatically receive a new catalog.  If you are not already working with another demonstrator and wish to purchase Stampin’ Up! products through me, email me and I will send out a free new catalog to you – I just ask that you pay to have the catalog shipped to you.

GREAT WEEKLY DEALS

Stampin’ Up! never disappoints on the Weekly Deals!  Sweet Taffy Designer Paper was one of my most-used papers of the year!  And it’ll be retiring in a few short weeks.  I love the Gift Box Punch Board for making a variety of sized boxes.  And the 2″ Circle Punch is one of the most common size circles I use.  Take advantage of combining the Weekly Deals with the Retiring Products List for your order this week.

RETIRING PRODUCTS FOR 2015

The Retiring Products List is still going strong.  Be sure to check out what is already sold out and grab your favorites before they’re gone forever!  Click this link to view the full list:  Retiring Products List 2015 updated

Sweet Dreams, baby boy or baby girl!

Whether you need a baby boy or a baby girl card, this one works out great!  Stampin’ Up! has designed the Sweet Dreams Designer Paper and the Sweet Dreams Designer Buttons so that you’ll have lots of choices!

• The One Tag Fits All is such a fun stamp set!  Here I’ve stamped the frame in Lost Lagoon Ink and Calypso Coral Ink.  The duck is stamped, colored in with markers, cut out and popped up on Dimensionals.  Please note:  While the catalog says that this stamp set coordinates with the Note Tag Punch, I would not recommend planning to use the punch with the stamped frame image.  I feel it takes too much of the frame away, and I preferred to cut it by hand with my Paper Snips.  It’s an easy image to hand cut and the results are much better.
• Do I ever make a card that I don’t use the Circle Framelits?  I think it is the most useful tool I have in my studio!
• Add some coordinating embellishments from the Occasions Catalog.  The Sweet Dreams Designer Buttons contain the Crisp Cantaloupe and Lost Lagoon buttons, as well as one in Sahara Sand and a pretty white heart.  Tie some simple White Baker’s Twine through the center and adhere it to the card with Glue Dots.
• A snip of Hello Honey Quilted Cotton Ribbon is tucked behind the circle.  It works for both cards since the duck is also colored Hello Honey.
• The Sahara Sand cardstock layer is run through the Big Shot using the Large Polka Dot Embossing Folder for the top of the cardstock.

Don’t Forget!

April Card Shoppe card kits have sold out this month!  But no fear – you always have the opportunity to earn FREE card kits with every purchase you make through me.  Use hostess code YT373CJ3 when checking out to receive your May Card Shoppe or Stamp With Me cards completely free!  Place your order in my online store HERE.  You’ll find more info on my free card kit program HERE.

Argh, it’s a Valentine’s Treasure

The Hey Valentine stamp set by Stampin’ Up! is so cute!  Four fun images are this set.  If you missed it, I posted another card using a different image from this set HERE.

• This set is all about coloring, and Stampin’ Up! has so many ways to color in images.  I really like the effect I get with an Aqua Painter and my stamp pads; I find I can control the shading the way I want it.  And since I already have the stamp pads for stamping images, it gives dual purpose to purchasing them.
• I used the Heart Framelits to create my card.  The largest framelit cuts out the scalloped heart, while the second to the largest cuts out the card base.  Just fold a piece of Whisper White Cardstock in half and place the framelit with just a little of the fold below the framelit edge.  When you run it through the Big Shot, then the top will stay uncut and you’ll be able to have a heart-shaped card.
• Since this makes an “odd-sized” card, I used my Envelope Punch Board to create a custom-sized envelope.  Just measure the size of your card and follow the sizing chart printed on the Punch Board.  Couldn’t be easier!

• Did you notice my little embellishments?  I used a strand of Pearls over the stamped pearls in the treasure chest, and the coins and buckles are colored in with Gold Encore Ink.
• The three little hearts come from You Plus Me stamp set.

For All Things

Fall card making and stamping has never been more fun than with the For All Things stamp set and coordinating Color Me Autumn Designer Series Paper by Stampin’ Up!  These are “my colors” – Cajun Craze and Mossy Meadow team up with Soft Suede and Very Vanilla.  And the designer paper is so versatile – nice prints to work with on one side and beautiful neutrals on the other.  Take a look at all of the prints:

• This card came about by wanting to show off this pretty paper, so I kept things simple.  I stamped the watercolor image on Very Vanilla Cardstock using a Sahara Sand stamp pad, then used Mossy Meadow and Cajun Craze Stampin’ Write Markers to color direct to the rubber stamp to create the sentiment.
• I punched the sentiment out using the 2-1/2″ Circle Punch and adhered it to the front using Dimensionals.
• The fiber decoration to the left comes from several different Stampin’ Up! accessories.  First I cut the selvage of both sides of the 1-1/4″ Burlap Ribbon to make it narrower and also to let the edges fray naturally.  I used the new Stampin’ Up! adhesive Fast Fuse to adhere the burlap to the cardstock.  Think Sticky Strip only in a dispenser!  Next came the gorgeous Mossy Meadow 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon then some Venetian Crochet Trim.  Finally I unwound some of the Natural Old Olive Two-Tone Trim and used just some of the vanilla trim through the center of the Gold Basic Metal Button.  Button is attached to the card with Glue Dots.

Don’t Forget!
