July Techniques and Fancy Folds Class

Sometimes it's only the front of the card that gets our attention when it comes to being creative, but this month we'll have some great "insides" too!  With a few quick tips and techniques, we'll make some fantastic cards that you'll find very hard to give away.  As will all of my Techniques classes, measurements and instructions are printed out for you to reproduce these beauties later on.

The first card uses more cute paper from the Cherry on Top Designer Paper stack, a 6" x 6" pack of celebration fun in an easy to use size!  We're going with the "donuts" paper, one of my grandson Zach's favorite foods!  He'd love the supersized one on the front with the bite taken out of it, accented with the clever Foldback Corner Card.  Just a few quick cuts and a score gives you this neat effect; you'll love how easy it is to make this clever twist.

The butterfly card below uses the stunning new Watercolor Wings stamp set plus its coordinating Big Shot dies, you'll want to have them all!  There are so many ways to create beautiful large and smaller butterflies with the multiple step stamping, then cut them out in detail and layers for that "wow" effect.  Add the coordinating butterfly embossing folder and this cool Tunnel Card, how can you not be impressed?!

In keeping with the watercolor stamping, the Garden in Bloom stamp set gives you many options to make some nicely "painted" flowers that coordinate so beautifully with the same English Garden Designer paper that was used with the previous butterfly card.  Plus you'll learn how to make the overhanging leaves extend beyond the circle Framelits die.  I've accented the little bee with the new Tags and Labels Framelits die and the inside bee paper, isn't he sweet (pun intended!)

Be sure to save the date and come on over to stamp with us!

June Stamp Class

Although we've only missed a month since we've had a stamp class, I've been feeling "withdrawal symptoms" lately, and my crafting projects have been quite lonely.  No more!  With the new catalog out and things returning to normal, I've spent some happy hours creating some new cards for this month.  Hope you'll be able to come and make them yourself!

Graduations are a one of the big happenings this month, so I've made up a cute grad cap card just for them!  If you don't have someone this year, be sure to save it for when you do, it will surely come in handy.
The dapper "manly" card is great for Father's Day or his birthday, and shows off one of the new In-Colors this year: Tip Top Taupe. Inside, there is a snappy bow tie created with the  smaller Bow Builder punch and any striped or muted Designer Paper you might have.

Fresh off the presses is the new Cherry on Top Designer Series

Paper Stack, 6"x 6" sheets of so many cute designs that I couldn't use them all this month!  Three new In-Colors are included (Cucumber Crush, Tip Top Taupe, and Watermelon Wonder) plus there are also coordinating Blossom Accents, Envelope Paper, lace trims, and 5 different washi tapes, oh my! The fun circle-flip card will suit anyone's birthday, and you'll love that there is a matching punch for the stamp set.  Lastly, you can choose to make either a flat bag/card set or a dimensional treat bag with shreddies using the brand new Gift Bag Punch Board; let me know which one you'd prefer.  I'll show you at least 3 different ways to use this Board in class!

To simplify things, keep up with prices on supplies, and fulfill multiple requests to include envelopes with cards, I've decided to make both regular as well as Technique classes $15. But you can still get a FREE class with any $45 order, now an even better deal!

June 2: The 2015-2016 Catalog is here!

It's finally the big day when the new Stampin' Up! Catalog goes live, wheee!  There are some changes: you'll see that prices end in more even amounts ($.95 rounds up to the next dollar, much easier to calculate!), and Hostess Dollars will be Stampin' Rewards, starting at 10% for a minimum workshop/order. And of course there are LOTS of new things; stamps, dies, punches, papers, and more!!

Here is some of the nitty gritty about the catalog transition TODAY:

• All carryover items from the 2014-2015 annual catalog and 2015 occasions catalog will keep their 2014-2015 prices on June 2 only.  Beginning June 3, all 2015-2016 pricing will take effect.
• Current Host program benefits will remain in effect on June 2. Beginning June 3, all new host benefits (Stampin' Rewards) will take effect.
• On June 2, hosts may choose host items from the 2014-2015 annual catalog, the 2015 occasions catalog, or the 2015-2016 annual catalog.
• On June 2, all Online Store categories will be replaced with new categories in support of the 2015-2016 annual catalog. The new categories will contain NEW and CARRYOVER items in the 2015-2016 annual catalog. All other items will be searchable and orderable, but not categorized. The Retiring Products category and any remaining available items will be active through June 2.
• Online Ordering will be down on both Tuesday, June 2, from midnight to 2:00 AM (MDT) and Wednesday, June 3, from midnight to 2:00 AM (MDT).  You'll be able to order after 2:00 AM on both days.
• June 2 is the last day to order retiring products from the 2014-2015 annual catalog and the 2015 Occasions catalog, then they're gone! :(

Check out this LINK to the new catalog and get ready to drool (then shop)!
