How to Reserve yours by September 3rd?

EMAIL me directly at [email protected] with your information listed below to save your spot in the share: (Note: For multiple shares – contact me for a shipping quote…a Flat Rate Envelope can hold quite a bit).

Please include the following information in your email:

1.  Full Name

2.  Mailing Address (US only)

3.  Indicate how many Paper Shares and/or Design Tool & DSP Swatch Book sets you would like to reserve

4.  Email for PayPal invoicing

When your shares/swatch book order fills, I will email a PayPal invoice for payment process (around September 1st, the first batch is going out tomorrow).  I will then place my order with Stampin’ Up! once payment is received for the share/swatch book.

PayPal is easy — and a PayPal account is not required to make your payment.  Just an email address and credit/debit card.  When you receive your PayPal invoice by email, you can choose to pay using your PayPal funds or by a credit/debit card.  Simply follow their instructions to make your payment via the method that is most convenient for you. It should be simple!

NOTE:  The first share/swatch books if placed on September 4th can be expected in about 2 weeks after I place the order. Here is how my paper shares/swatch books work… first I save your spot and collect your payment, then I place the order, receive the order, cut and package the paper, package up your swatch book/share for mailing and then take them to the Post Office to ship.

Free as a Bird Thank You

Posted on by

I’ve become quite the bird watcher over the years here in Clarkesville, enjoying the hunt for just the right bird in my book as I learned about them. My son built some bluebird boxes years ago and they now dot our fence line around our house – we’ve been lucky enough to have at least a couple of them being used each season that I can watch as I sip coffee in the morning through out the nesting season.

So today’s card was created using the Bird Ballard Suite of products found on pages 90-92 of the 2019 Annual Catalog. The suite is filled with wonderful water colored images and soft colors which is right up my alley.

And since this set is perfect for coloring I reached for my Stampin’ Blends and started to create my own little bluebird.

While I was at it I figured I’d whip up a tutorial for you – so I’ve made a quick video and PDF so you can make some too if you want.

Tasteful Textures

Posted on by

Terracotta Tile is one of my favorite In Colors and this card teams it up with Basic Black for a striking card that is quick and easy to make.

What do you think?

I love the sentiment used for this card and it seemed perfect for today’s post since it is registration day for our Stampin’ Up! event. I just know good things are going to happen over the next couple of months! And I love these events with my team and fellow demos from across the country.

I’ve got my goals set and I’m working hard to meet them. (I shared them with you the other day, but you can click on goals to see them if you missed them and want to help me reach my goal.)

The 2019-2021 In Colors are a beautiful group of colors that you can purchased individually right now, or in sets for the card stock, Designer Series Paper stack, and Stampin’ Write Markers. We’ve also have some of the Stampin’ Blends available in In Colors – whoo hoo!

Good news if you have been waiting for the Purple Posy Classic Ink – Stampin’ Up! has worked out the kinks in manufacturing and it should be available soon. I’ll post when they tell us an exact date.

I digress, can you tell its late? Any how, this card uses the Designer Series Paper Stack for a bit of color behind the beautiful image and sentiment and can you see the scalloped Linen Ribbon tucked behind the focal point? It adds a bit of texture and interest to the card and is a great way to use the ribbon.

Sounds like my son is coming in from the garage after playing with some of his new toys, so I’ll head on out to see what he has been up to.

Enjoy!

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Tasteful Textures (149234)

Cuckoo for You

Posted on by

Do you love cuckoo clocks? I feel in love with them when I was on a school trip to Germany back in High School. Standing in the Marienplaz in Munich watching the fabulous Rathaus-Glockenspiel was amazing and I was fascinated by the working of the clock. At that point I began my hunt for my own version of a cuckoo clock, I ended up finding one in Oberammergau later in my trip. It played a different tune on the hour and the half hour. I loved hearing it play everyday, unfortunately it fell from the wall as I tried to hang it in my first apartment and it has never been the same.

Any how, when I saw this set I knew it would be a lot of fun with it’s interactive elements.

check out this fun card made with the set

What do you think? Fun?

While this card doesn’t use the movement feature it contains tons of texture since it uses our Mosaic 3D Embossing Folder. Did you know that we have a 3D Embossing Plate that will make our NEW 3D folders easy to use? No shims necessary to create your sandwich on any die cutting machine.

The convenience makes this $10 purchase a easy choice!

Stamp Set: Cuckoo for You (*149349)

Inks: Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pad (132708/133456) and assorted Stampin’ Blends

Inspiring Iris

Posted on by

One of my mom’s favorite flowers in her garden are her bearded iris. Her garden was filled with color and a bunch of different varieties and sizes when I was a child. A love of gardening that was passed down from her mother and her Aunt Adeline. I still remember those walks through the yard sharing each bed and talking about what was in them. Not a skill that was passed down to me I’m afraid. So this stamp set is more my skill level and it reminds me of those childhood strolls.

Here is a lovely card done in shades of Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape.

I wish you could see the shimmer of the black embossed outline and sentiment, I’m not sure it shows up well in the photo.

Just a quick note about our un orderable items since this project includes a couple of them – if you find that an item in our 2019 Annual Catalog is not showing up in my online store it’s because it is in back order and we are waiting for stock to arrive.

More It Starts with Art

Posted on by

Have you seen this set filled with wonderful crafting images? I really enjoy using it and wanted to share some more swaps that I received using this suite of products found on pages 52-54 of the Annual Catalog.

I really love the color combination of the Follow Your Art Designer Series Paper (149489) combined with our In Colors Seaside Spray and Rococo Rose on this first card which uses a fancy fold.

Isn’t it great how all our products work together? While these two colors are not in the Designer Series Paper they work to create a rich color pallet for this card.

And here are some more cards that use the colors listed in the Designer Series Paper itself.

So what do you think? Can you see the possibilities? Why not stop by my online store and see all the coordinating products in this Suite?

Goooooaaaaalllll

On a personal note – Did you know every year I set goals for my Stampin’ Up! business?  One of my longtime goals is to earn the incentive trip. This year I am excited to announce, with less than 2 months left in the Stampin Up year, I am closer than I’ve ever been. 

If you have been thinking of placing an order the past month or two and haven’t done so, I would really appreciate your help reaching my goal by placing an order today. If you do so by August 18th, not only will you get products you love, but you’ll also receive a FREE gift from me an exclusive Class Tutorial PDF.

Shoe Box Fun at the Team Weekend Getaway

Posted on by

I mentioned last Friday that I was getting ready for my team retreat – we gather 3 times a year for weekends of stamping, laughter, food and fun. I really look forward to these gatherings of uninterrupted crating time with my peeps. They are the best and while it is like a big slumber party we also get to get to use our Holiday PreOrder goodies to create. What could be better?

A shoe box swap of course! While it was a small gathering this time due to schedules we still had a wonderful time at our shoe box swap. It is always good fun and I love seeing what everyone is creating. Here are some of the projects.

This first card is for Halloween and uses the Apple Builder Punch (150663) and the coordinating Harvest Hello stamp set (150581).

This set is great for quick and easy card since it has a coordinating punch – and a super set for teachers and back to school projects since its got some wonderful sentiments too.

And here is a card that uses a bundle (153006) that is sure to be popular.

The Christmas Gleaming Suite is filled with wonderful products, and the Brightly Gleaming Designer Series paper (150429) includes Copper Foiling that is quite striking. We used the new Copper Delicata Metallic Ink for this project (150707/150708) and can you see the subtle shimmer of the Shimmy Crystal Effects (150892) that we used for the berries? So excited to have these new option for our crafting!

We also made this fun easel sticky note holder using the Pressed Petals Designer Series Paper (149500).

And finally here is my card that I created using the Toile Christmas Bundle (152367) from the Toile Tidings Suite of products.

I just fell in love with this Distinktive stamp set as soon as I saw it – the cardinal is always a favorite of mine. I’ll be working up a tutorial for you and hope to share it in the next week or two as we get closer to the Holiday Catalog launch on September 4th.

And of course, what is a team event with out some door prizes?

Goodies from the Holiday Catalog catalog – winners got to choose their favorite accessories.

Would you like a 2019 Holiday Catalog? You can pick one up during my August Classes or contact me and I’ll be happy to mail you one.

And of course how about a special event where you can pick up your copy of the catalog AND use some of these fun items too! Why not join me and play with some of the new products?
