It's finally here, Ta-da!  The 2017-18 Stampin' Up Annual catalog is online and ready for everyone to browse, study, shop, drool, make long wish lists, be inspired, whatever! You can download the whole thing to see it all online HERE, or just contact me to get your very own hard copy in one of three ways:

1. If you have ordered through me in the last 6 months, I have already saved a FREE copy for you (just come on by and get it!)
2. Place a new $50+ order to get a FREE copy.
3. Buy a copy for $5.00 and I'll happily refund that back to you with your first order!

If you place an online order with the current Host Code (FAKCMWE4 until about June 13th), I'll send you a hand-stamped thank you gift in appreciation!

And just to "sweeten the pot" for this month, Stampin' Up is offering a special promotion  called the We Love Hosts Promotion to all who Host a "party".  This FREE event usually involves inviting some friends over to watch a stamping demonstration and then make a couple of cards to keep, maybe munch a few goodies, and have some fun!  Your reward is $35 extra in Host Rewards (meaning any merchandise in the catalog) for parties that total over $350 (an average total.)


Don't feel like cleaning your house?  Have a "silent" or Catalog Party, where you combine your order with those from your friends, I do all the calculations and you get all the benefits including a FREE catalog and Host gifts from me!  Contact me if you're interested!

Here is a little video with some of the fun new ideas from the catalog, enjoy!

June Stamp Class

With the June 1st release date of the new Stampin' Up catalog just a few days away, the joy of brand new stamping goodies is almost here!  To kick it off, our June Stamp Class will feature lots of new card ideas and products, so save the date and keep on reading!

The first card shows off the five new In-Colors for 2017 - 2019: Berry Burst, Fresh Fig, Lemon Lime Twist, Powder Pink, and Tranquil Tide all on one card!  There's also a bit of new Finely Woven Ribbon, the new Oh My Stars embossing folder, and the wonderful new Happy Birthday die to finish off this very useful card.
June for me means the need to make at least one less fussy, possibly "guy" type card for Father's Day and my son's birthday. This year, I've stamped a neat little sailboat and set it on some swirly die-cut waves layered over the crackle side of the new Color Theory Designer Paper.  The reverse pattern has a neat omber look which goes up the side to bring the whole scene together nicely. A "ropey" knot plus a few other nautical touches and you've got a happy card that can be given to just about anyone, something we all can use!

One of my favorite Designer Papers in the new catalog is the Delightful Daisy series. The lower left card has a simple but unique pocket design that allows us to show 3 sides of this delightful paper which match so well with the new Daisy Punch. Mini Chevron Ribbon "leaves" in Old Olive and a Daffodil Double Stitched Ribbon knot pull for the inside layer makes this card fresh and new in many different ways.
The last card also uses two different sides of this same Daisy Paper, but with Wisteria Wonder and Calypso Coral colors and a different flower stamp.  Note the simple but very effective diagonal layout where you just stamp in the middle of the Thick White card.  Stamp whatever sentiment you wish for the inside, it's up to you!

May Stamp Class

With the sun shining so brightly now, it's time to get ready for summer and the enjoy this last month of the Stampin' Up year.  We'll be making some cards that say a fond farewell to some retiring sets and papers, and get ready for the new catalog to start on June 1!

 The two top cards both use the lovely Blooms and Bliss Designer Series Papers which has such wonderful soft colors.  The left one is perfect for Mother's Day but I'll also have inside sentiments to include birthday, wedding, sympathy, congratulations, etc. I love how the card has uniquely opening layers and also uses a matching embossed-resist sponged section as well. Truly a gorgeous card for many occasions.
The blue/green coloring on the right hand card is also beautiful but more subdued, very appropriate for sending get well wishes or kind thoughts.

The lower left card  is quite whimsical and "very sweet"indeed!  A little bee, vellum "honeycomb", and jar of honey make this a great card to send to the sweeties in your life and "bee" enjoyed.
The lower right card appropriately uses SU's Watermelon Wonder cardstock to make a cute slice for that "one in a melon" person's birthday celebration! Using the Labeler Alphabet stamp set inside gives us a lot of flexibility to stamp that matching sentiment.

Remember to grab a stamping buddy and come on over to stamp!
