It’s back – Storage by Stampin’ Up!

Posted on June 26, 2019 by Stamp with Jini

I’m so excited to have our Storage by Stampin’ Up! back and available to order. I really love the pieces I already have and am excited to be able to build on them.

Our new storage is modular, so it gives us tons of options to individualize it to our crafting space and needs. And we can build it as our budget allows – which is a win, win!

If you haven’t already seen the individual pieces you’ll want to.

And great news in playing with my storage pieces I’ve customized mine with an simple additional step to make things even easier for me.

Now with a quick look I I can things back in their place – After all I love to organize things, as you know. And today I’m sharing it with you – So here is what I’ve come up with.

Can you see what I’ve added? I like to have things put back in their place and visually see what I’ve left laying out on my desk – and laying around my creative space. I seem to be a “messy” creative person. Sound familiar? I think that is a lot of us. LOL!

It’s simple I’ve simply added a piece of card stock and one of my organizational labels to the bottom of my Ink Pad & Marker Storage Trays! Super simple, right? And now anyone can put things where they belong with a quick glance!

And I’ve done the same thing to my Stampin’ Blends Storage Trays so that as I build my collection I can put them right back in their spots!

Because these trays come apart this process is a easy one. And when you want to change the labeling system it will be easy too. Simply take them apart and replace the card stock colors as needed.

Want to do this too? Here are the measurements for you-

Ink Pad & Marker Storage Trays

• Cut each piece of card stock to 3 1/2″ x 3 1/2″

• Then add one of my Annual Catalog File Drawer Labels that you can find and print HERE that I shared with you earlier.

• Add a bit of Snail or a Mini Glue Dot to each piece of Card Stock and adhere to the shelf.

Stampin’ Blends Storage Trays

• Cut each piece of card stock to 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ (perfect for those strips we have left over)

• Add a bit of Snail or Mini Glue Dot to each piece of Card stock and adhere to the slot

Yep! it’s that simple – and not only will you know exactly where your supplies go, you’ll also have a beautiful array of colors showing in those spots that are empty while you are crafting too!

Now the hard part – deciding how I want to stack them! Oh, wait there is no stress about that, since I can move them around as I play with my crafting items until I’m happy! LOVE IT!!!

Clearance Rack, Trimmer Blades & More

Posted on June 25, 2019 by Stamp with Jini

New products & stamps will be added!!!

Tomorrow, June 26, at 12:01 AM (MT), for the first time ever, SU is putting stamp sets on the Clearance Rack! This is not something they have done in the past—and I don’t know if we will do again.

See the stamp sets here that will be added to the clearance rack (while supplies last!). Images will be shown in the Online Store when the promotion goes live on June 26th

Trimmer Blades – limited supply available to order

Need Blades for your retired Stampin’ Trimmer?

There will be a limited supply available to order in my Online store on Thursday, June 27th at Noon (ET).

Here are some details: SU does anticipate blades to sell out quickly, but hope more customers will be able to order with the smaller limit.

You will only be allow to order 3 sets of the blades, not the previous option of 6.

On the day of the launch, if you try to order the Stampin’ Trimmer Cutting Blades before they are available, you will see this error message: “You may not order 1 of item 126995 because of promotion restrictions.”

When the blades have sold out, the message will return to the current message until the next supplies arrives: “This item has been discontinued and cannot be added to your order (126995).”

But no worries, I’ll let you know when the next shipment arrives. Please contact me if you have any questions – and thanks for your patience.

It’s back in stock!

All the Storage pieces are now in stock and available to order

Please note: Stampin’ Up! is watching inventory closely and will reorder accordingly, but it is possible these items will run out of stock again and return to Not Orderable status for a time.

I love my Storage by Stampin’ Up! I’ll be sharing some quick and easy tips on how I set mine up tomorrow, now that they are available again. Not only do I like that they look great, but it makes it quick and easy to find just the right ink pad, Stampin’ Write Marker, and Stampin’ Blends.

Back on Your Feet Fun

Posted on June 25, 2019 by Stamp with Jini

Yesterday, I shared with you some of the cards that my team created for the shoe box swap at our Team Retreat – today I’ll be sharing mine along with the video tutorial so you can make some too if you’d like.

The Back on Your Feet stamp set found on page 83 in our 2019 Annual Catalog contains such cute images I couldn’t resist it, after all it seems like I’ve been need of get well cards lately.

And the little turtle image brought back childhood memories – Did you have a pet turtle growing up? I know I had the whole set up plastic dish with the island and palm tree you could place in the center – my little guy was always getting out. Sigh…. what simple pleasures.

Any how here is my card.

I just love the NEW Pigment Sprinkles in our exclusive Stampin’ Up! Colors!!! I knew as soon as I saw them I wanted to play with them at the team retreat while I had some dedicated crafting time – and they don’t disappoint with their bright bold colors!

Here is my video tutorial so you can see how I created this card.

Blue Mountain Stampers’ Shoe Box Fun

Posted on June 24, 2019 by Stamp with Jini

Ahh… team retreats – there is nothing better than spending time with my peeps and our Team Retreats give us uninterrupted craft time together. Fellowship, sharing, and stamping – What could be better? A Shoe Box Swap of course!

What’s a Shoe Box you ask? Well it is a term we use to describe an event where everyone creates and then brings enough card kits or projects to share and we take turns stamping them. But why call it a shoe box? The idea is everyone puts the supplies in what else? A Shoe Box of course. LOL! You get the idea. Any ways, I also love these afternoons and the sharing.

Here are some of the cards we made during the Shoe Box.

This first one uses the Sailing Home Bundle (151066) and it’s coordinating Come Sail Away Designer Series Paper (149481).

And here is a clean and simple card – I love the bright colors and can you see the Wink of Stella we used on the butterfly wings? (Pictures just don’t do justice to the real cards).

The Butterfly Gala stamp set (148580) and the coordinating Butterfly Duet Punch (148523) make this a quick and easy card to make tons of quickly!

And here is a lovely Acetate Window Card using the Healing Hugs Stamp set (148223), still one of my favorites with it’s Distinktive stamps that make the flowers look so realistic.

And finally a pocket card using the Memorable Mosaic stamp set (149226), Mosaic Mood Specialty Designer Series Paper (149478), beautiful Mint Macaron 1/4″ Textile Ribbon (149480), and the really fun Flower Faceted Gems (149479). You can find this suite of products with even more coordinating products in our 2019 Annual Catalog on page 119.

Whew! Lots of stamping fun and a great variety of cards too.

Stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing my card tutorial using the Back on Your Feet stamp set. I’ve still got to do the video or I would have shared it with you today. I’m running a bit behind this week already since I was working on my organized swap by mail – more about these cards soon.

Yep – those packages are filled with fantastic cards using stamps from the 2019 Annual Catalog!!! A lot of work, but great fun too!

To A Wild Rose Thank You Card Tutorial

Posted on June 21, 2019 by Stamp with Jini

Today’s card is one that I created to mail out for my June Thank Yous. I chose the To a Wild Rose stamp set because it has wonderful bold floral images and sentiment in a beautiful font, so I knew it would make a great stamps, ink, and paper card!

And while it does come in a bundle (151073) with coordinating dies I think it’s a great stand alone set too. Perfect to get started if you are new to stamping.

This set is a two step stamp set so the color combinations are endless. Check out this card done in tones of Blushing Bride.

I love the soft tones of pink with Basic Gray, but then I love gray as a back drop in my home too. To me this combo has a vintage feel to it which is perfect for the wild rose. What do you think?

If you’d like to see how I created this card you can check out my video tutorial

And if you’d like to make this card yourself – I’ve got a PDF tutorial with a complete supply list for you so you can print it and order what you’ll need.
