Today’s project is one that I made for part of my Team gift that I gave everyone attending OnStage in Charlotte this past weekend. It’s a twist on the floating frame cards you’ve been seeing pop up – but this really is a frame lol. I thought it would be great to have a special frame of our stamping friends and a reminder of the wonderful time we had last weekend.
I really like the way the frame turned, out so I thought I’d share a video tutorial with you on how I made them. They are really easy to do. It’s a few days late since the first time I filmed it the file was corrupted so I had to do it again, not sure exactly why, but then that is the way with technology, right?
I’ve used the Stampin’ Blends to color the butterflies and I chose the shades of blue since our Team name is The Blue Mountain Stampers. Get it?
I placed those that I could on their pillows once we arrived in Charlotte.
The bags were stamped using the retiring Bloom by Bloom stamp set (148820) and Happiness Blooms Designer Series Paper (148795) was used for the tags.
I also used the Large Letter Framelits (141712) that are also on the retirement list for the tags – boy, do I hate to see these go, I use them all the time! Get yours before the supply is gone.
And here is a close up of the back.
Want to see how I made these Butterfly Gala floating frames?
Here is a video for you and of course a PDF tutorial too. I’ve also included a complete supply list below for you so you can make some too. So keep scrolling since it is at the very bottom!
Retirement List: Please note that I’ve updated the PDF with items that are carrying over noted. They are both highlighted and * is behind their names. These items are being reconfigure and will only be offered in our new Cling offering in the 2019 Annual Catalog. Please let me know if you have any questions I know that the lists can be a bit confusing. The easiest way to see everything is in my Online Store HERE.
Stop back by tomorrow when I’m hoping to post some of the fun of OnStage with you – today I’m heading to the vet. Our four legged family member, Chewie decided to have a run in with the fence and lost on Friday night while I was gone to OnStage.
Poor thing. She has needed a lot of extra attention since I’ve been home and is not liking the confinement needed so she can heal.

I’m going to keep this short and sweet because I know you want to see the
lists! Many products are only available while supplies last, so be sure to get
your orders in early! (And remember that some items having amazing discounts!)
Sooo….Here are the Retirement Lists that have just
been announced by Stampin’ Up!
They are broken down by catalog for your convenience:
**Please Note: Some items such as stamp sets are on the list due to reconfiguration to our NEW Cling style – These sets are now highlighted and have a * at the end of the name so that you can easily see which ones they are (updated 4/16 8 :47 am)
Here is a document showing which sets will be carried over into the 2019 Annual Catalog in our new Cling style. So while they show up on the retirement list it is because they will have new items numbers due to the change in style.
Please remember that Accessories are While Supplies
Last (this includes: Ink, Reinkers, Card Stock, Designer Series
Papers, Ribbon, Dies, etc.).
Make sure you have got your favorite 2017-2019 In Colors that are being affected by the Retirement List in the 2018 Annual Catalog – Your favorite colors are sure to go fast!
Stamps are guaranteed until Monday, May 24th and then will be while supplies last until the Last Chance List ends on June 3rd.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.
Fine Print:
Depending on inventory levels, discounts on select products may be introduced on or after May 9.
These discounts will not be pre-announced.
If you buy a product at retail price and then it is later discounted, Stampin’ Up! will not refund the difference.
If there is a product you want, we recommend buying it right away and not waiting to see if it’s discounted later or you risk it being sold out.
If you start an Online order before a discount is announced, the order will not include the discounted pricing. If you want to order a product that has been discounted, you will need to start the order after the discounts are announced.

Today’s projects are some fun ones that I always enjoy doing when we have a Stampin’ Up! event for my team. And I’m excited to be heading for our OnStage Local in Charlotte this weekend. What could be better than spending time with others who love stamping?
However when you are with hundreds of other demonstrators who all have the same bag – I find it is fun to have yours easily identifiable with a special name tag. So here is what I came up with for our Charlotte event.
I love the little charms I’ve added to the tag too. They are so much fun to make – and I found some beads that I think went nicely with what I expect to be some of our new 2019-2021 In Colors!
After the event they can be added to our key chains if they’d like. And to help them jot down all the great ideas – everyone needs a note book and pen. I used our Crafting Forever stamp set (14955/143958) and the Layering Circles Framelits Dies (141705) to create the sentiment.
And I used the sentiment set from Sale-a-bration for the inside. I am truly blessed by my Team, they inspire me every time we gather.
I’ll be sharing a tutorial for these when I get back – they were so much fun to make! I’m afraid I just ran out of time this week.
And finally some post its so that we can flag all those new products that we want! I know this years Annual Catalog is going to be a great one. (I’m sure my shopping list will be a long one) – I can’t wait to see it!
I really like the way that the note pad and flag holders turned out. They were made with a demonstrator supply folder that I cut apart. I love the flowers so I was happy I was able to make the flowers on the front of the folder the focal point, and the back of the folder had our logo which was perfect for the flags I thought.
I had planned on sharing a video tutorial with you today of the final gift, but my IPad apparently didn’t like something I did since the file is corrupted, so I’ll be sharing that with you next week as soon as I can re film the project.
Enjoy your weekend and stop back by next week to see the OnStage fun and a sneak peek at the new 2019 Annual Catalog.

Today’s projects were all part of this month’s Team Swaps – I love the variety of projects that my team always shares and so I wanted to share them with you too!
This first one uses the Tea Together stamp set (148779), Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies (148551) that you can find in the Occasions Catalog along with our Tufted Embossing Folder (146335).
If you love this card you’ll be happy to know if you didn’t get the coordinating Tea Time Framelits Dies for FREE during Sale-a-bration, they will be available again in June since they are part of the 2019 Annual Catalog. So you can get the set now and start stamping and then get the dies later!
And do you recognize where the word love is from? It’s from our Well Written Framelits Dies (148534) If you haven’t seen this bundle of products found on page 27 of the Occasions Catalog you’ll want to check it out. It’s a wonderful set of sentiments and dies that make up endless options.
This next card uses a favorite set of mine Dandelion Wishes (146744/146747)
along with the Subtle Embossing Folder (143706) – if you don’t have this folder you’ll want it since it adds just a touch of texture to any project! The pop of Lovely Lipstick matting this focal point is lovely with the Grapefruit Grove. A combination I wouldn’t have thought of.
And how about this fun Cross Over Gate Fold Butterfly Gala (148580) card?
I love the way it opens – I can’t wait to try this fold soon –
And now for the 3d projects – I always love the fact we can create great little gifts like these with paper and ink!
Easter is right around the corner and this little kiss basket is perfect
and this little basket made with our Scallop Tag Topper Punch (133324)
If you are looking for a great group to craft with and share my team the Blue Mountain Stampers may be the right place for you. We love welcoming new crafters, you can click HERE for more information about joining. And of course I’m happy to answer any questions you may have too!
Speaking of my Team, stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing some of the projects I’m making for our OnStage event in Charlotte.

I’m currently working on my mailing list for shipping the 2019 Annual Catalogs (and will be finalizing it by April 25th) –
You’ll be the first to get one (around late May) if:
Are you a frequent customer of mine? If you ordered a minimum of $50 from me in the last three months (or 90 days) you are eligible to receive FREE Stampin’ Up!Catalogs.

The Retirement List will be available Monday, April 15th
and the Stampin’ Trimmer will be included on the list along with all it’s accessories
Our Stampin’ Trimmer is Retiring, so if you need Blades or any other accessories, purchase them now before they sell out.
Right now you can order 3 sets of replacement blades per order. Starting April 15th, this number will increase to 6. Then over the next few months, there will be small batches of inventory arriving and it’s anticipated to be depleted rapidly. When those few small batches are sold out, that will be the end of this product line. (All items will be turned off and back on in my Online Store as shipments arrive. Stampin’ Up! will not be doing back orders for these items.)
Big Changes are coming and I’m so excited!
I’ll be sharing more about this when I return from OnStage next week, so I’m going to keep this short, but I wanted you to hear it from me so you know what is happening before Monday’s Retirement List posts.
The Big Shot will NOT be in the NEW 2019 Annual Catalog and WILL be on the Retirement List. (Good news and no worries tho, dies and folders will still work with any new system that Stampin’ Up! introduces)
This announcement DOES NOT mean that the entire product line of dies and folders are also being discontinued. There will be some that are retiring with the catalog as normal.
This happens every year, but some will also carry over into the 2019 Annual Catalog.
Our Dies and Folders will be changing and be the high quality you have come to expect from Stampin’ Up!, and they will have new shorter names. Yippie!
On the Monday, April 15th the Retirement List will come out. We already know that the 2017-2019 In Colors will definitely be on that list, and the items listed above. If these are items you want, PLEASE don’t wait until the 15th!

I loved the projects that came in the March Paper Box AND the additional stamp set too. What a great value and all the cutting and work was done for me all I had to do was assemble. Of course after that what do you do with all those goodies that are left over? Make something with them of course.
So today’s project uses the stamp set from the kit.
The kit came with the Poppy Parade ink spot so I started there – I added a couple of our great punch shapes and some Poppy Parade and Blueberry Bushel card stock.
So quick and easy to create a bunch of these cards. Check out my quick video tutorial

Today’s card is one that I made for this month’s birthday cards. I enjoy sending happy mail to my friends and family each month. I know that it’s a great feeling to go to the mail box and get something besides circulars and bills. How about you?
The Piece of Cake stamp set also has a coordinating Cake Builder Punch, but I didn’t use it for this card. Instead I chose to use my Stamparatus since it made stamping this project soooo easy.
Here is a quick video tutorial for you

Product Details
Product Launch: TODAY, Monday, April 1st (and that’s no it not an April Fool’s Day joke)
No order limits apply.
Storage by Stampin’ Up! will be featured in the 2019–2020 annual catalog.

Storage by Stampin’ Up! Q&A
Will old design Stampin’ Pads fit in the Ink Pad & Marker Storage Tray?
No. The Ink Pad & Marker Storage Trays are designed to fit our new-design Stampin’ Pads only.
How high can I stack storage trays?
We stacked up to 50 storage trays without any issues, BUT we would not recommend stacking that high. While our Storage by Stampin’ Up! products are sturdy, the higher you stack them, the less stable they’ll become. Use your discretion when stacking.
Can I mount my Storage by Stampin’ Up! products on the wall?
No. Our modular storage products are designed to sit on a table (or similar flat surface).
How should I use the Open Storage Cube?
The Open Storage Cube can be used to hold any miscellaneous items like ribbon, embellishments, and small punches. For more inspiration on ways to use items from our Storage by Stampin’ Up! product line, check out the configuration chart we created.
Can I mix and match Storage by Stampin’ Up! products?
Yes! Our Storage by Stampin’ Up! products are modular and designed with
customization in mind. Take a look at the flyer for more information
on the size and dimensions of each item in our new modular storage
product line.
Do I need a Storage Lid for each 5-tray stack?
No. The Storage Lid covers the top of Ink Pad & Marker Storage
Trays, Stampin’ Blends Storage Trays, and Open Storage Cubes, so you
need only one per storage configuration.
How many Stampin’ Ink Refills can I store in the Storage Topper?
You can store up to 20 Stampin’ Ink Refills (or other small items) in the Storage Topper.
Are ink pads difficult to remove from Ink Pad & Marker Storage Trays?
No. When you insert an ink pad into a storage tray, a small portion of
the ink pad will stick out. We designed it this way, so your ink pads
will be both secure and easy to access.
Can I buy individual Ink Pad & Marker Storage Trays and/or Stampin’ Blends Storage Trays?
No. Both of these items include a set of five white plastic trays.
Please use the configuration chart to determine how many storage units
you need.
What material do you use to make Storage by Stampin’ Up! products?
Our modular storage products are made with white, acrylonitrile
butadiene styrene (ABS) plastic, which is a lightweight and durable
material.
How do the silicone feet work?
To protect your surface and prevent slipping, we’ve included peel-and-stick silicone feet with the Ink Pad & Marker Storage Trays, Stampin’ Blends Storage Trays, and Open Storage Cube.
How do I know what pieces I need?
And how about a printable PDF work sheet that will help you determine what you need to hold your supplies? And configuration ideas.
Fine Print:
Inventory Disclaimer: Because Storage by Stampin’ Up! is a brand-new product line, our inventory levels for this initial launch are based on research of similar products and their existing demand. If our inventory of Storage by Stampin’ Up! products is depleted, we will turn items off until their inventories have been replenished. The good news is that our Storage by Stampin’ UP! will be in our 2019 Annual Catalog.
