Beautiful Backgrounds for my Butterfly Friends

Posted on August 4, 2019 by

Each month I gather with other demonstrators in my Butterfly Friends team to stamp, swap, learn, and be inspired by each others stamped art. I have the privilege of providing stamping projects for this group each month, and I work to find projects that try new techniques or patterns AND/OR retry older techniques or patterns.

This month my projects focused on background techniques using brand new stamp sets, and this was so much fun for me!  Check out the cards and let me know in the comments if you would like to learn any of these background techniques!

Burnished Ink

Embossing Paste over Burnished Ink

Ink Smooshing

Die Paper Piecing

Pigment Sprinkles


Did you know that during August you can get $155 of Stampin’ Up! products for only $99? If you have a big wish list, then you need to take advantage of this deal this month.  Talk to me if this intrigues you. Check out some more information.

Many, Many Thank You Notes

Posted on July 4, 2019 by

I have had limited playtime in my new stamp room lately, so when I get in there I create cards in mass quantities to maximize my output. Today I’m showing the fruits of my labor with these thank you cards I’m sending to everyone who ordered from me in June.

I’m getting to know the new InColors and using the Color Coach Stampin’ Up! has given us. I really enjoy the way these color combinations push me past my own comfort zone when it comes to colors. I wanted to use Terracotta Tile for my card and chose the combination with Petal Pink and Merry Merlot. I love it! What do you think?

***Stay tuned for the announcement of my next class which will be all about getting to know the new InColors.***

In the meantime, thank you to all the folks who ordered in June and enjoy the coupon inside your card! 🥰

(Stamp Sets: Beauty Abounds, Love What You Do, Gallery Grunge, Artisan Textures, Ink & Cardstock: Petal Pink, Merry Merlot, Terracotta Tile, Very Vanilla)

Blessed and Grateful

Posted on June 21, 2019 by

There is always so much to be thankful and grateful for when you have the right mindset, would you agree? I cannot claim to always have the right mindset automatically, but when I get shifted to appreciation mode I am blown away by how blessed I am!

Today I am feeling grateful and thankful for all the amazing people Stampin’ Up! has brought into my life just by making and giving handmade cards. Pretty amazing when you think about it!

In my stamp room lately I’ve been playing with the new In Colors and trying out some color combinations. Check out this gorgeous combo: Rose Rococo, Mint Macaron, and Merry Merlot.

Retired Products List 2019

Occasions Catalog Retiring List

Some things to note about this year’s retired list and discontinued products:

  • Some items will increase in price so use this transition period to stock up on the basics. (See Details Below)
  • Stamps sets will only be offered in Cling Mount or Photopolymer going forward.  *Check list carefully for notations on retiring stamp sets.  Some are on the list because they’re Wood Mount and Clear Mount, but will be returning as Cling Mount.
  • Stampin’ Up! is transitioning to a new die cutting and embossing machine made exclusively for them.  No worries, though, for those of us who have Big Shots.  All new dies and embossing folders will still work on our machines!
  • Stampin’ Up! is also creating a new paper trimmer which won’t be available when new catalog launches.  The refill blades for our current paper cutter will still be available for awhile.
  • Don’t forget that five of the In Colors will be retiring so grab some refills if you need them. (Tranquil Tide, Lemon Lime Twist, Berry Burst, Fresh Fig, Powder Pink)
  • As always, last chance products are available while supplies last.
