If you have a hard time creating for the guys in your life the Well Suited Suite might be just the thing you need to have for creating great cards. While the Handsomely Suited stamp set (154444) is great for the guys the Suit & Tie Dies (154322) that are part of the Bundle (156240) are great for creating all kinds of projects – the choices are endless simply by mixing and matching.
Today I’ll be sharing some cards for the guys in our lives using this suite. This first one uses the fun Well Suited Designer Series Paper (154562) for a fun fold birthday card.
And this next one creates a great card for Father’s Day that’s been done in the classic color combination of red and black.
And this final card uses the Classic Label Punch (Retiring 141491) for the sentiment. Can you see the added texture in the background?
The Absolutely Argyle 3D Embossing Folder (Retiring 151590) was used to create some texture. Choose the Suite Collection (155983) and you’ll get everything in the suite in one easy number that includes a 10% discount on the Handsomely Suited Bundle too.
Why not stop by my online store and check it out? And of course while you are there you can stop by the Clearance Rack and the Last Chance List for the 2020 Annual Catalog too. There are some great discounts right now.
2021 Annual Catalog Sneak Peek
The NEW Annual Catalogs are in the mail and are starting to arrive. If you are a current customer of mine you’ll be getting yours soon. So today I thought I’d share my unboxing for some of the great items I was able to PreOrder from the Annual Catalog.
2021 Annual Catalog PreOrder Sneak Peek Video
Of course, the In Colors are always my favorite place to start looking when I get the catalog – nothing like new colors! And this is the first year I think I’ve LOVE them all, typically there is one color that takes me a bit to fall in love with, but not this year. Here is a preview.
Fresh Freesia, Polished Pink, Soft Succulent, Evening Evergreen, and Pale Papaya!!!
There is nothing like them in our color families – so over the next few days I thought I’d share some color comparisons with you. Today I’ll be highlighting Fresh Freesia and Polished Pink for you.
Fresh Freesia is a lovely shade of purple that will bring a smile to your face – I just love purple and am so happy we have this option. I’ve included the retiring Purple Posy for you in this first comparison so you can see its nothing like the Purple Posy that is retiring.
And Polished Pink is cheerful and a perfect shade of pink! A bit softer feeling than our Magenta Madness and Melon Mambo, but bolder and more of a true pink feeling than our Flirty Flamingo
So what do you think? Like the new colors?
Don’t forget and make sure to stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing the 2021-2023 In Colors Evening Evergreen and Soft Succulent with you and some more comparisons too.

Last week I shared the opening day of our Stampin’ Up! OnStage@Home event, as always these 3 days fly by too quickly. And while we weren’t together in person this year the chat rooms, personal messaging, and texts were fast and furious as we shared with each other.
Saturday was filled with creative presentations and break out classes. My head is still spinning with all the great information! In between we did some stamping with the Dragonfly Garden Bundle and products from the Dandy Garden Suite.
These projects were a lot of fun since they were quick and easy – Know that I’ll be sharing some tutorials with you for these cards and others for sure as we get closer to the catalog launch in January 2021!
Sara & Shelli’s closing time together is always one of the most enjoyable portions of the event for me. I love to watch the back and forth between mother and daughter it is filled with laughter and wonderful projects too.
And this OnStage@Home was no different. You could see they were clearly enjoying their time together as they shared some wonderful projects using the Fine Art Floral Suite of products which has a lot of fun elements!
I was sad to say goodbye as we wrapped up the event – but will be looking forward to sharing with my Team this Friday during our OnStage After Party!
One of the perks of attending OnStage@Home was being able to participate in a Product Purchase Premiere. Being the first to receive our copies of the Mini & Sale-a-bration brochure along with stamps and more!
I got my box today and thought I’d share some of the fun with you of the unboxing. The video is not the best angle, my Ipad which is my normal way of videoing is giving me fits and I haven’t been able to figure out why yet. Sigh… the love, hate relationship I have with it! But you’ll get the idea.

Yesterday was my monthly Team Meeting and while I always enjoy these gatherings yesterday was extra special because I was able to surprise with my box that arrived just in the nick of time – So everyone was able to get their first look at the 2019 Holiday Catalog products too. Who doesn’t love that?
Here is a picture of my table spread out with PreOrder goodies for everyone to see.
And I did a very quick unboxing video the night before of my Holiday Catalog Preorder goodies for you too. I had hoped to share it yesterday evening, but the day went by too fast.
2019 Holiday Catalog Preorder Goodies Video
So what do you think? Does the Holiday Catalog look like it will be a lot of fun? I’m really looking forward to this weekend and my Team Retreat where I’ll get some uninterrupted play time!
Mean while would you like to see some of the wonderful swaps my team made? I can’t pick a favorite – can you?
This first swap is a 3d and you know how I love those! This great little Good Morning Magnolia Bag was filled with a couple of pieces of chocolate, Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper covered note pad and pen.
No, the chocolate didn’t survive long, but I’ll be enjoying the note book and pen for a while yet. LOL
And this final card was created with one of our past Product Medley Bundles, Everything is Rosy.
I’m soooo glad that Stampin’ Up! will be offering another one of these Medleys in our Holiday Catalog. So watch for that coming soon.

My internet has been down for a couple of days since Windstream decided to flip a switch to upgrade me, but didn’t tell me LOL! Technology – got to love it right? Any how today’s post is going to be quick since I intended to share this with you on Friday and couldn’t.
I received my OnStage Product Purchase Premiere Preorder goodies and wanted to give you a sneak peek of what is coming! So I made this video to share-
I think you’ll love the new colors AND exciting news – we will have a Simply Shammy!!! We got to use it at OnStage and I loved it – it’s a reusable cleaning mat that makes cleaning our stamps effortless since it can get in all those nooks and crannies AND it durable since it is thick – no more lint or chemicals since you just add water. Good news – you’ll be able to store it in our stamp cases so it can go with you or sit nicely in your stamping space. Whoo hoo! No more baby wipes – can’t wait until June 1st to get one. Sorry I didn’t think to snap a really good pic so you could see it. But I did spy one on our Make n Take table LOL!
Want to see some more pics of OnStage – Atlanta? Here are some more of our time Prize Patrol is always great fun – and Stampin’ Up! is always generous!
I can’t believe everything I received at OnStage I couldn’t fit it all in my bag!
We get to do some stamping –
And even got a sweet treat
Love the time together getting to meet new stamping friends and team time too

Stampin’ Up! events are a lot of fun and because of you I’ve been lucky enough this year to attend CenterStage. This event is a special one since it is based on title and by invitation only.
We were pampered and given special training along with this color swatch ring. What does that mean for you? It means I get to share more with you of course – And I love to share with you!
So today I’ve whipped up a quick video sharing the Color Revamp that is coming in the 2018 Annual Catalog – I thought seeing them “in person” would help. Of course you’ll be able to get your hands on them and play at my upcoming Catalog Kick Off (more details coming soon) and team meetings!
2018 COLOR REVAMP SNEAK PEEK VIDEO
So what do you think? Love them? The great news is we can use them all! Just because some of our favorite colors are retiring doesn’t mean we have to stop using them, the Color Revamp just means more options! So you can still stock up on your favorite colors, card stock and other items during the Last Chance promotion.
Here are some more pics from CenterStage for you. Check in says it all…
The tables were decorated with an 80’s theme and strobe lights of course were flashing. I was sporting my shoulder pads!
Here are some of my table mates – Susan and Sherrie
And of course the big reveal! I was so excited to see the 2018 Annual Catalog for the first time! LOL we all flipped to see if Lovely as a Tree was still in the cattie along with our personal favorites!!
And a group shot of my extended stamping family that was there at the event.
What a night – it was so much fun! Here’s a quick shot of the swag we received for the night! Stampin’ Up! is always so generous

Wow, the month is flying by and I’m hoping the third time is the charm for my computer. Every time I think I’m good…. well I’m sure you can tell since I haven’t posted much lately that it hasn’t been successful. Keep your fingers crossed this time is going to work since I really miss stamping and sharing with you.
Any how, it’s a little later than I wanted, but here is a sneak peek of what was in my preorder box that I received last week just in time for my Team Weekend Getaway.

What says summer more than a new pair of flip flops? Today’s card uses our fun bold Designer Series Paper, Festive Birthday to create these fun cactus flip flops.
I’ve had several of you ask me how I created these when you saw my shoe box card HERE.
So I thought I’ve put together a video tutorial on how they are made. And I included some tips to make things easier.
Want the pattern? Well I’ve made one up just for you!
So, what kind of flip flops do you like? Plain, bright and colorful, or wild patterns? Why not leave me a comment and let me know.
What’s Happening Here?
On a personal note I thought I’d share with you what is happening with all this wood my son, Johnathan and I brought home on June 20th. (Click HERE to see that post).
I’m excited to say my guys are making great progress on the project… my classroom!
Johnathan is always happy playing with his “toys” in the garage. (He built his garage cabinetry that you see in the background over his winter break.)
Over the weekend they finished the 12 x 12 paper storage unit.
and the base cabinet too! Wow that was fast!!!
I can’t tell you how excited I am to get painting! And you know how I dislike painting. LOL!!!
Right now, I’m trying to decide a new paint color for the classroom walls. After all, with this great cabinetry going in I need a new coat of paint, right?
I’ve got it narrowed down to two choices at this point.
A more bold one and a safe one. I’m trying to decide how crazy I want to be LOL!!! Pool Party or Sahara Sand ???? Hmmm…. what do you think? I’ve changed my mind so many times already, but these are the two I keep coming back to since I love the Island Indigo display item I already have.
