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.

When a new catalog is released my personal copy comes with me everywhere so I can soak in all the ideas and new products.  This new book is no exception.  Today it has come with me to my garage sale and in between customers I am making my list of must-haves. Do you need your copy of the new catalog also?  Keep reading!

The new catalogs are in!!!! And your name may already be on one so check it out! And you are invited to my New Catalog Open House and Garage Sale. See details below.

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.

Birthday cards are the best cards to make! This gloriously green card is for my future son-in-law who loves green, and is an amazing human!

Love, love, and love all these greens together!  Call Me Clover, Granny Apple Green, Bermuda Bay, and Lemon Lime Twist work together to create a melody of greenness!

I’m making cards this weekend at my house. I call this class a card buffet for two reasons:
1. The cards are tasty!
2. It’s “all you can eat”! You choose which cards and how many.

I love butterflies and always have! What a sweet surprise to find two new butterfly stamp sets, Beauty Abounds and Butterfly Gala, a gorgeous set of framelits, Butterfly Beauty, and a new punch, Butterfly Duet in the new Occasions Catalog!  To top that off, there is Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper and Butterfly Elements for free in the new Sale-a-Bration Catalog!  This crafter is in her element!

I knew my first project with these new supplies would have to be a butterfly sampler to frame for my stamping workspace.  This project was a blast to put together and believe it or not I couldn’t fit all the butterfly “stuff” on it.  That’s how much butterfly yumminess there is available right now!

My stamping team of fellow demonstrators has been called the BUTTERFLY FRIENDS (yes, I really love butterflies) for about 18 years.  We meet monthly to get inspired and share ideas.  At our December gathering they all made one of these samplers and chose their favorite color to customize to their liking. I love these ladies so much, and we have so much fun together!

Here are the supplies used in this project.  You will find them all in either the Occasions Catalog or Sale-a-Bration Catalog!
