Have you seen the Take Your Pick Tool in the Holiday catalog on page 30? I’m so excited about this tool with all it’s features. I’m using it all the time!
Not only can you pick up small items with the Putty end, you have a spatula so you can pick up adhered card stock layers, a paper piercer and stylus. As usual Stampin’ Up! has done it again – creating a high quality tool to make our paper crafting easier. What could be better?
A lovely box to hold it and keep everything together of course. I went looking for a way to keep all the pieces together and here is what I came up with.
These boxes are easy to make and will keep everything together for you in one place. I really like the way my first box turned out, so much so I decided to add a magnetic flap to it – so you’ve got two options when making your own.
Here is a video tutorial for you, the PDF so you can print your own Take Your Pick Tool label and a PDF tutorial with the complete supply list.
Take Your Pick Tool Box Tutorial –
And I’ve given you cutting measurements in the PF for both the magnetic flap I’ve shown you and the non magnetic flap. Making it easy to create the version you’d like for your space.
The printable label is in both Blackberry Bliss and Basic Black so you can choose. And there are two sizes too for the Layering Ovals Framelits Dies or Tailored Tag Punch. Simply print on Whisper White card stock.

Well as you can see I didn’t get to post this yesterday afternoon like I had hoped, but the good news is I can share it with you today and even more!
Last month my team enjoyed a shoe box swap and so today I thought I’d share some of them with you. This first card uses the Merry Christmas to All stamp set (147702). This set is filled with wonderful sentiments and has a coordinating Thinlits set, Merry Christmas (147912).
I love the warm country feel of the Festive Farmhouse Suite that was used to highlight this set. How about you? And good news I thought you might enjoy making this card too so I’ve whipped up a quick tutorial that includes the complete supply list for you!
Today’s cards are all part of a shoe box swap that we did at the Blue Mountain Stampers Weekend Getaway in August. This getaway is a time for my team to gather and spend the weekend together. We spend the time laughing, sharing and of course stamping with the new products from the Holiday Catalog PreOrder. It’s a lot of fun and I can’t believe we’ve already been doing this for 6 years now! I love these retreats and spending the time with my team – each and every member is such a blessing to me and we’ve become friends over the years.
Does this sound like fun to you? Love the new products? Do you have a big wish list? As I am sure you can guess, being the first to see a new catalog or any of our new catalogs is a very exciting AND a huge perk of being a Demonstrator – after all who wouldn’t want to be first? Right? Add the fact that you’ll receive a discount on all these products and you can’t loose! If you feel this is a good time to join Stampin’ Up! and my team, the Blue Mountain Stampers, you too can be first too!

Cool Treats is fun stamp set with all kinds of options since it is a two-step stamp set. This makes it perfect for our Stamparatus too. Check out these fun colorful thank you cards I made recently.
I chose this pattern from the Naturally Eclectic Designer Series Paper (144185) since it is filled with all kinds of wonderful colors perfect for sorbets and ice cream.
I totally CASED this layout since I really liked it on a card I received in a shoe box swap last year. What does CASE mean? Copy and Share Everything! You don’t have to reinvent the wheel when stamping, sharing ideas is what it’s about.
Want to make some too? I’ve whipped up a tutorial for this taste treat set.

Wow!!! #OnStage – Atlanta was Fantastic!!! I don’t know where to start! So I’ll be sharing it over the next few weeks with you starting with my swaps that I made for the event and some video tutorials and how to recreate them. So you’ll want to make sure you stop by daily.
AND don’t forget the Last Chance List will post this afternoon – If you’re on my mailing list you’ll get your list delivered right to your In Box – if not you’ll want to stop by and check it out later this afternoon after 1 pm (MT).
Now onto the card swap – This first swap uses our Brusho Crystal Colors – I love this product but then I love any technique, especially the messy ones. LOL!
How can you not love this bright bold color palette? And our Brusho Crystal Colors definitely give you that! But then they are amazing because not only can you create this bright bold look but add more water and you’ll get a soft subtle look too! What can I say – it’s why I love this product! Can you say versatile? And who doesn’t love that, right?
I bet you want to see how I did this, right? So check out this quick video.

And here is the PDF so you have a complete supply list, measurements, and the steps you need to assemble your own!
I’m so excited today is the day! I’m headed to Atlanta for this weekend’s OnStage Event. I’ll be gathering with hundreds of demonstrators from across the country to stamp. What could be more fun, right? Even better we’ll get our hands on the 2018 Annual Catalog for the first time too!!! I’ll be sharing more about this event with you next week.
But mean while today’s card is one that I’ve designed for the Shoe box Swap that I’ll be attending this afternoon before the event itself starts. Want to see it?
I enjoy using this 2 step stamping set – its so easy to create fun cards with quirky sayings like this one – and who doesn’t enjoy a glass of wine now and again with friends? And check it out, I thought our Fresh Fig was a perfect “wine” color – what do you think?
I’ve made a quick tutorial for you so you can make this card too.

Do you love to make a little something for family and friends for Valentine’s Day? I found these cute little boxes of chocolate recently and couldn’t resist making something with them.
This little project is so quick and easy and since the Lift Me Up stamp set has a lot of sentiments to choose from you could make this project for all kinds of Occasions!
The lid lifts up so that you can write a little something under the lid and the box of chocolate slides out for easy access. My hubby is going to love that. LOL!
Want to learn how to make one for yourself? Here is a quick and easy video tutorial for you.

Today’s card is one that we used the new Stamparatus to create at my Team Retreat over the weekend – but no worries if you don’t have yours yet you can still make the card. (The Stamparatus just makes things faster since you only have to do the placement once.)
It’s got a fun fold and I think perfect for any age with its bright cheerful colors.

When I first saw this stamp set at OnStage in Salt Lake I knew it would be a have to have for me, and so I thought everyone would love to make a card using the set for my Occasions Kick Off. The image is just breath taking and so realistic. Stampin’ Up! currently has a patent pending on these these type of stamps. They are photographic realistic and have tons of depth – they are called Distinktive stamps.
Beautiful, right? I love the Powder Pink and Berry Burst colors that were used, just perfect!
Believe it or not all you have to do is ink up this stamp – it does all the work for you. The stamp lays down different opacities of ink giving a deep rich image.
Want to make your own? As promised here is the tutorial for you today.
This set, Heartfelt Blooms is one of our Sale-a-bration offerings and is FREE with a $50 purchase (before tax and shipping).

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – I love to pamper my team! So for this month’s team meeting we had our Annual Holiday luncheon and enjoyed some time together where we laughed, shared, played and stamped.
Want to see some of the wonderful items they’ve been making since the last meeting?
Fantastic projects, right? I can’t pick a favorite – I’ve got such a great team of folks who just love to paper craft!
We had fun playing the dice game too. Have you ever played this game?
Fun, and fast paced! And of course when the clock runs out – the goodies are yours!
I made these fun Lots of Lavender Bags. The stamp set is one of our Sale-a-bration options and I couldn’t resist the yummy new ribbon from the Occasions Catalog.
Each bag was filled with a little something special from the NEW Occasions Catalog! Everyone was a winner!
And of course we made a couple of projects too- So we did some stamping too! I had so much fun designing for my Santa’s Workshop Class that I had too many projects for just one class. LOL! You know me I love gift items and 3ds!!! So we made some candle holders and learned a fun new technique while we were at it!
I found these yummy lemon candy canes at the Dollar Tree and couldn’t resist putting them with a lemon scented candle and using the Lemon Zest stamp set (143805/143808). This bundle has very quickly become one of my go to favorites! Lemons, oranges, and limes – oh, my!
I thought you might enjoy making some of these for yourself. With all the crazy flavored candy canes out there right now the options are endless, but of course I can’t resist anything lemon!
Here is my Blue Mountain Stampers’ Lemon Zest Candle Tutorial (printable PDF)
