June Stamp Class Reminder

Please note that Tuesday, 6/7, is the Deadline to reply to save your space for this month's Stamp Class featuring all new stamps and more from the new catalog, wheee!!  There are still a few spots, but hurry!

June Stamp Class

The new Stampin' Up! catalog starts today, hooray hooray!  I have a few new items for this month's class thanks to my Demo pre-order, but am so looking forward to getting much, much more!!  Come on in to class to see the new colors, get your hands on a catalog (retail= $5), and check out some new sets, dies, and ideas! Remember, you can get a FREE class plus a FREE catalog with your $50 order.  (With all the new things to get, that will be so easy!)

One of the new stamp/die bundles (of many!) in the catalog is Swirly Bird, which includes lots of different shapes and patterns for multiple occasions and your creative use!  We'll use a swirly floral theme this time, but I'm looking at all the different forms and shapes included and can imagine using this set many more times for.....everything!

Since it's June, my card making usually turns to dads and weddings. For the bride, how appropriate that we'll use Blushing Bride cardstock to make an easy card that looks so fancy!  Thanks to lots of die cuts and two patterns from the Playful Palette Designer Paper stack, this beautiful card is perfect for the next wedding(s) that you'll be attending. And whether it's for Father's day or a guy's birthday, the "ties" card is great with the new Dapper Denim and Neutrals coloring.  What a neat idea to have on hand in other colors as well, bright and wild or subtle and subdued, to fit the men in our lives.

I think die cut cards are extra special, so designing the little "mug of flowers" was very satisfying. Thanks to the Blossom Punch and more Playful Palette papers, this card is playful and fun, ready for whatever occasion you might have simply by swapping out the sentiments on the front and inside!

May Stamp Class Reminder

Reminder:  Tuesday, 5/9 is the Deadline to save your spot for this month's Stamp Class.

Note that I should have the brand new catalogs here by the class date, get yours FREE with any $50 order plus a FREE class too!! Order date for new items is June 1st, so you'll have lots of time to shop and make your wish list for next month's class!

I'll try to get my act together and pull out some of my new/slightly used retired items to sell at greatly discounted prices to make room for new stuff!  I have stamps, accessories, ribbons, and more! (Note that only new orders count towards a free class, not purchases of retired items, but at these prices they are still bargains!)

This is the last month that you can order the current bundles that are 15% off.  If the items continue into the next catalog, they will not be offered as a bundle, only retail price so no discount.  Also, new bundles will be discounted at 10% starting June 1 -- so if you like it now, get it now!

May Stamp Class

It's the last month of the current Stampin' Up catalog, so I challenged myself to include many of the stamps, papers, colors, and accessories that will soon be retired.  I was tickled to use these great products and come up with creative cards that are unique, usable, and fun on both the front as well as the inside!  I'll let you tell me which one is your favorite, I can't decide between the four of them!

The top left card with Bohemian papers is so much fun with the crafty Love You Sew stamp set, I just love the puns!  Below that is
the "sweet pea" card, perfect to accompany your gift for a little one, either boy or girl.  In the middle is a fancy silvery vellum card with a unique front opening.  Sheer and elegant, it would also be beautiful wedding card (with another to come next month too!) Lastly, the very dimensional ice cream birthday card show is a show-stopper.  Note that I "CASED" the inside design from my stamping friend Minerva, I love it!
