New Catalog 2024-25 Pre-Order Unboxing

This is the gorgeous new catalog cover. Gathering together to craft and enjoy each others company. I think it’s a throw back to the 1970’s Sears Catalog.

Join me for the unboxing of my Pre-Order for the 2024-25 Stampin'Up! Catalog. There is so much crafty goodness. I can't wait to start creating with all the stamps, inks, and papers in my new box! This catalog is so beautiful! I'll post some new projects soon, so if you want to be notified when those videos go live, be sure to hit thumbs up and subscribe.

Watch the unboxing and get a sneak peek at the happy & bright new In Colors and other fun Products in the new 2024-25 Annual Stampin’Up! Catalog!

Embrace the Fall Trend of Dried Flowers with Inked & Tiled Stamp Set

Send some sunshine!

It’s always a good idea to spread a little love by snail mail! It makes a hard day better, and a good day, great!

In this video, I get out of a months-long creative funk, and I’m back to showing you a

bright & fun card design with the stamp set, Inked and Tiled.

Along with the coordinating punches and Designer Series Paper, 6"x 6" Inked Botanicals.

All items are available in the Stampin'Up! 2023-24 Annual Catalog.

It took me a while to create this design, but you can follow along and make your

card quick & easy

the first time!

A gorgeous color combination to bring you out of a funk!

If you don't have your very own catalog and find yourself yearning for one, send me an email (immediately! lol) here to request a copy:

Please note in the subject line,

“I NEED a CATALOG!”

I have seen Dried flowers everywhere! From craft fairs to craft stores to gardening centers. They are fun to use, natural, and classic.

It is gender-neutral and always in style to send a happy note to someone you love. Tell me, have you seen dried flowers popping up everywhere?

After making my video and writing the post, I decided to use a flower I dried earlier this Spring. LOOK HOW it works with this card!!! I encourage you to try it with some of those late-summer flowers. SO. Much. FUN! Like I say in my video, I’m going to a dried flower class at the end of August. You may see more dried flowers popping up in my designs. :)

Stamp soon!

In Colors, Color Refresh and Beautiful Balloons Bundle

New Colors and returning favs from past In-Colors (top to bottom): Bubble Bath, Fresh Freesia, Azure Afternoon, Blueberry Bushel, Misty Moonlight, Lemon Lolly, Lemon Lime Twist, Lost Lagoon, Pretty Peacock, Pecan Pie, Berry Burst (the circle color).

Stampin’Up!’s color refresh is gorgeous! I love color, and bringing in just a few new colors is like breathing fresh air into all of your art projects. The colors are so, so pretty. I can’t decide which is my favorite, but give me a month, and chances are one will be dwindling in my card stock stash! Which one catches your eye?

Bright & Beautiful Suite Collection

Here’s my first project out of the new Catalog! Take a look at how the new colors are used and work with this project.

Fringe Die used for actual party fringe!

Beautiful Balloons Bundle is great if you have lots of Birthdays to celebrate. My family starts celebrating in March and goes all the way through December! It is also an excellent bundle for Graduation. Got any of those coming up?

The die set in this group has a fabulous die that cuts fringe. It’s a great die that cuts easily. It cuts the strips and keeps them together on both ends so that you can get a couple of interesting textures from the one die. I love dies that are SO versatile!

Here, the fringe die is used as a textural element. I then added the ribbon and “fringed” out the ribbon that landed on the front of the card.

Card base is made with the new color Lemon Lolly. It’s such a happy yellow! See how many new colors you can spot!

NEW Month, New Sale, NEW Color Announced! New Catalog Coming! Great Deals NOW!

Stampin’Up! Last Chance; Products that color your world. Sale starting APRIL 4, at 2 AM EST

Hey, you stampin’ crafters!! Are you ready for the LAST CHANCE BIGGEST SALE of the SU! year?

One reason the sale will be so big is that Stampin’Up! is having a COLOR REFRESH this year!

This can be viewed in two ways: 1. “oh no, not again” or 2. “YAY, MORE COLORS!” I choose the second view! I LOVE color refreshes and updating our color pallets.

And you can rest assured that everything you own will coordinate beautifully with the new options. Stampin’ Up! has our back in the color coordination department (Wouldn’t that be a fun place to work!?).

If you have any colors retiring and need refills, DO IT NOW, DO IT QUICKLY! I might even forgo sale prices on the re-inkers because they tend to sell out first & quickly.

The sale begins on April 4 at 2 AM EST.

I know it’s early, but order as soon as possible because this stuff goes FAST!

What is a Shoe-Box Swap?

A Shoe Box Swap is a card swap, where you make one card. Then cut all of the card stock, provide all the elements, ink, embellishments, etc. you need to make the card. In a box or “shoe box” you put all the items needed to make the card, including scissors & adhesive, to make as many cards as people that are participating in the swap. 

Shoe Box Swaps

are designed for you to make one card and go home with 10 (or however many people are participating) different cards that you make in a short time frame! It's like a "Cookie Swap" at Christmas. Only there is NO baking required.

At the Swap, you would then set up a station, and the other people participating would make your card. Then everyone in your swap group would move around to the various number of stations, making cards that are different. You then leave with new cards, new samples, and new technique ideas to use in your crafting!

It's SO much fun!

If you are interested in attending or holding a ShoeBox Swap, let me know and I can help you plan one! They can be themed, or anything goes. You can also make 3-d items like gift boxes or bags. 

It's a great way to bring friends together, have a great time and walk away with new cards or projects, and tons new memories.

Here’s your invitation to join me in loving my craft! Pick up a Starter Kit while Sale-A-Bration is going, NOW through Feb 28, 2023! You will RECEIVE $50 MORE in products if you join during Sale-A-Bration. This is the only SAB that we will have this year. I don’t have FOMO; it’s real.
