New Products Coming that Coordinate with Your Favorites …

Posted in New Product Intro / Video by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

I am excited to share some exciting news … Stampin’ Up! is releasing a Coordination Product Release!  What does that mean? It means that they have created special products for us that coordinate with our favorite products from the January–June 2020 Mini Catalog and Sale-A-Bration.

However … they are only available for a limited time or while supplies last.  This is why I’m letting you know now, because these products go LIVE on January 4th!  The items included in this promotion will not be in the upcoming annual catalog, so you’ll  want to get your hands these right away.

Let’s take a look at what’s coming our way …

First, we have coordinating dies to the beautiful Positive Thoughts stamp set.  And if you fell in love with the little critters in the Special Someone stamp set … you’ll love the dies just as much.  WOW … So far during Sale-a-bration, each of my Hostesses have earned the Little Ladybugs stamp set, so I know these dies will be on their February order.  Then we have the lovely Sending Flowers coordinating dies.

Oh yes, there is more …

Our beautiful birthday cake from the Happy Birthday to you Sale-a-bration stamp set now has the coordinating birthday dies.  And to top off these amazing products, they brought us beautiful designer paper that coordinates with the punches from the Bloom Punch that you can earn FREE during Sale-a-bration, the Heart Punch Pack, Tulip Builder and Umbrella Builder punches all from the Mini Catalog.

Just a few points to remember …

  • Coordination Release begins February 4–March 31, 2020 – OR – While supplies last only
  • Items available during this promotion can be added to customer, workshop, and online orders. Feel free to contact me.
  • No limits apply during the customer sales period.
  • Qualifying orders are eligible for Stampin’ Rewards.
  • Coordination Product Release items can be added to a starter kit.

I am so excited that the coordinating products are being introduced this early in our Sale-a-bration period … gives you a chance to expand your stamping collection that will give you maximum benefits (because they coordinate) and you can earn the FREE Sale-a-bration items.

Thank you for joining me today.  I’ll see you back here tomorrow as I share the winner / winners of the Puzzle Contest and a cute card the uses the NEW “Pleased As Punch” Designer paper from our Coordination Product Release.

Have yourself an awesome day!

FLASHBACK FRIDAY: Many Hearts …

Posted in 2019-20 Annual Catalog, 2020 SALE-A-BRATION CATALOG, 3-D Projects by

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

Every now and then I like to go back at look at things we have done in the past … a flashback.  Today I’m sharing samples from our “Meant to Be” stamp set in preparation for Valentines Day. However, don’t let hearts just be for one day of the year … we should share our hearts and kindness everyday. We need a kinder world.

Today I am going to review the many cards, and you’ll be “amazed” at all of the different styles of cards and projects you can create with the “Meant to Be” stamp set and “Stitched Be Mine” dies.  If you did not get this bundle last spring when it was available, you can still purchase the two separately and you qualify for a FREE Sale-a-Bration item!!

I start with the very basic of cards … Stamp, Paper and Ink!  Super simple, great for our new stampers.

Simply stamped in Lovely Lipstick ink on Whisper White cardstock.  My next card is also simple but very pretty …

This cards adds a little more dimension when we simply add layers.  Our greeting is backed with the Lovely Lipstick Foil paper which is found in the Sale-a-Bration catalog and can be yours with this bundle or a $50 purchase.

The next card introduces the BigShot and the coordinating “Stitched Be Mine” dies …

This card is also very easy to make … remember this designer paper is no longer available but the “From the Heart” Specialty Designer paper is a winner this year!

The cute little white hearts are cut from the dies included in the bundle.  Many of the dies in this set include the stitched look and the scallops edges.

The next card uses the same little white hearts … and they are stamped in Flirty Flamingo…

The cute scalloped edge on the bottom is yet another die from the coordinating die set in this bundle.  I did introduce the new Stitched Rectangle dies … these are located in our Annual Catalog.  You could easily change the greeting on this card to Welcome a Baby, a Sweet Sixteen or a birthday card … possibilities are endless.

If you’re looking for treat boxes for your children’s upcoming Valentines party or a cute little gift for a neighbor or co-worker, here are some great ideas …

My next card features more of the dies, the one I’m using here actually cuts 2 hearts with one roll of your die cutting machine …

This card was done with the Grapefruit Grove foil paper is highlighted and actually comes in the same package as the Lovely Lipstick … that were Sale-a-bration items “LAST YEAR” so it you stashed it … pull it out now and start creating!!

This card uses the largest of the heart dies and the beautiful little flower die that is also included in the die set.

So many different styles … and from simple beginnings for our newest stampers to lots of beautiful layers and the BigShot.  Don’t forget all the amazing projects and treat boxes you can also make.

I thank you for joining me today … A happy Friday to you!!

Enjoy your weekend ~

Simply Sunday: Love You Lots

Posted in 2020 Jan-Jun Mini Catalog, 2020 SALE-A-BRATION CATALOG by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Today I’m going to share one of the cards that we made in our January Stamp Club using the Heartfelt Bundle.  I will tell you it’s not the best photo (I took it sitting on my couch) but I love the card … it is cased from fellow demonstrator Mary Fish.

The Heartfelt Bundle includes the Heartfelt Stamp Set and the Heart Punch Pack. Use the hearts and arrows in the Heartfelt Stamp Set to create treat tags, boxes, and cards for Valentine’s Day. The greetings are designed to convey love and friendship.

Use the Heart Punch Pack to create a paper heart and a scallop paper heart. Use punched images separately or layer for beautiful coordination. I wanted to show that the beautiful designer paper was created to be “punched” out if you choose. I teamed it up with another pattern from the designer paper.

We punched out the “designer” heart and backed it with a Flirty Flamingo heart punched from the scallop Heart punch included in the bundle.

The playful heart patterns in the From My Heart Specialty Designer Series Paper have red and pink foil accents on some designs. Some images from the paper can be cut out using the Heart Punch Pack. This paper is excellent for valentines, cards, and scrapbook pages.

You’ll get 12 sheets of patterned paper: 2 each of 6 double-sided designs.  It is Acid free and Lignin free! The designer paper colors include: Flirty Flamingo, Real Red, Whisper White … we found making our cards that if you stamp off the Flirty Flamingo, you will get that pretty pink that coordinates with the paper!

Oh I can’t wait to get back into my studio and start stamping!! Do you know how hard it is to have off work and not be able to get in your stamp room … I’m going crazy! lol

Thank you so very much for stopping in today. I love using punches, it makes card making go so quickly.

Have a beautiful day ~

I’ll Bee Yours …

Posted in Paper Pumpkin, Sale-a-bration by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Well … I did it this time!  On Tuesday night I had a meeting at work and we decided to walk to the meeting place and back, just about the time I got back to my car, my knee gave out. Woooh … haven’t felt that much pain since I herniated the disc in my back!

I actually went to the doctor and he put me on bed rest (which means I can’t get into my stamping room!!) and steroids. He believes it’s arthritis and that I had a flair up.  So … please be patient with me while I work through this. I’m going to do my best to keep you informed through my posts.

Meanwhile, Paper Pumpkin’s first kit of 2020 is all about L-O-V-E. Whether you want handmade favors for Valentine’s Day, a bridal shower, or a remarkably romantic wedding, this kit has your number: 20 treat bags, 10 mini cards and envelopes, and embellishments. It’s everything you need to celebrate your favorite friendships and love stories. So, make it a “LOVE”-ly year with Paper Pumpkin! Watch this how-to video to see the I’ll Bee Yours kit in action.

I love those little bee’s and can’t wait to get my kit in the mail … Maybe it will be here tomorrow, my kids will bring it in and I can play!!
