0 Comments

 
Today launched an amazing amount of new product in the Online Exclusive category with Stampin' Up! Below you will find a PDF of all the new items launched. You can also view them all on the website when you shop. 

I think my favorite is the new Homemade Sweetness Suite.  Such fun colors and cute images.  This will be my Suite based class for the month of March along with a FREE with purchase class this week.  

Place an online order of $35 with  me and I'll email you five Recipe Card PDFs for cards and projects you can create with this fun suite. 

Place an order of $50 or more and I'll not only email you the projects but I'll send you a FREE Class to Go in the mail with materials (papers and die cuts but no stamped images or embellishments)  to create four of the five! No additional cost. 

Place an order of $75 or more and I'll send you all above PLUS the adorable embellishments.  AND you'd qualify for the Product of the Month! 

NOTE: you would need the bundle (stamps/dies) to create the projects
Offers good through Sunday, March 8th.  Emails will be sent the week of the 9th. Items will mail out the week of the 16th.

This double flap fun fold is actually quite easy to do!  Read on for a full video, a reel and a PDF on how to create one yourself.

Check out the full video tutorial of this Double Flap Fun Fold on my YouTube Channel. 
If you like reels you can check out me creating this version of the Double Flap Fun Fold.

This version, created with the Cute as a Bug paper, will be featured in my suite class next week! 
card created with quilt like pattern and mushroom image paper
I'll let you in on a little secret about this one...it doesn't open the same way!  I cut the smaller piece of card stock wrong so instead of it opening on the right hand side it is glued onto the front panel and opens with it.  

Isn't this bunny in the Easter Basket suite adorable?  Has me ready for spring!

With each new Stampin' Up! catalog I host an Open House to give my customers a chance to see the new product in person and get their own copy of the catalog.  Last month, I held my Open House for the new mini catalog that went live at the beginning of January.  This catalog is full of great new product and I'm highlighting a few items here!

I offer an add on Swag Bag at my Open Houses which are full of new product designed to get everyone creating.  This time the Swag Bags included the new:
Soft as Spring Puffy Stickers
Beautifully Adorned Ephemera 
Mixed Up Patterns Paper
Greetings for All Ephemera (not new)
Days Like This Memories and More cards

Below are projects I created to show how the products could be used.

Although joining Stampin' Up! is always an amazing deal it's even better right now.

Join in February and you can get the brand new stamp positioner for FREE!

 I love adding new team members whether you are looking for a discount for yourself or want to build a business. 
​
Here are some of the other top reasons I encourage you to join:
  1. You can receive/earn a 20%-25% discount on all your orders/income on sales (this includes your own Paper Pumpkin subscription). 
  2. You do not have to sell anything.  MANY demonstrators join simple for the discount and this is absolutely fine.  You can purchase for yourself only.  These demonstrators are often referred to as “hobby demonstrators”.  In fact, nearly all my current team members are hobby demonstrators.
  3. To stay active you must have $300 in sales every quarter. If you do not meet this, you have one month to make it up or you are dropped.  There are NO penalties to dropping.  You also have extra time when you first join.  You have the current quarter as well as the next full quarter for your first $300.
  4. You get access to the catalogs early including options to order product early! A copy of each catalog is mailed to you at no cost.
  5. As a team perk I offer a discount on my catalog product shares.
  6. Access to a private Facebook group for my team—I keep you up to date on what is going on and we meet (some in person, some virtual) most months for a fun crafting time. These are always completely optional.
  7. Stampin’ Up! events and trainings.  There can be both regional one or two day events as well as a larger multi day convention.
  8. Me! I am always here if you have questions or if you want to build a business. I am happy to offer encouragement and goal setting as well as share class ideas.  I will never pressure you to sell or to participate in any team activities.  That is all up to you!
  9. If you want to build a business there are many opportunities to earn more income and free product as well.

I am in love the with the adorable Cute as a Bug suite that Stampin' Up! just released in the new mini catalog.  From the paper to the coordinating stamps and dies it's all so cute! 

I created this fun card as one of the Make a Takes for my Open House this past weekend.  This layout is a great one to copy and use over and over!  

I used 1" x 4 3/4" strips and my Poppy Parade strip is 1" x 4".

Blender Pen Technique Ideas

1/3/2026

0 Comments

 
The Creative Collab Crew decided to use Blender Pens as our technique challenge this week.  I chose to pair them with colored pencils.  I hadn't used either in a long time.  I love stamping on crumb cake card stock and coloring with the pencils.

Do you like using Watercolor Pencils?  The Blender Brushes definitely make the look smoother.

Stampin' Up! Product Changes Coming

9/17/2025

0 Comments

Per Stampim;

We have some 
updates about cling stamps and Stampin’ Write Markers, as well as some exciting news about new coordinating packaging for stamps and dies. Here’s a quick snapshot:
 
Cling Stamps (Red Rubber)
We’ve decided to discontinue our cling stamp line due to key raw materials becoming increasingly difficult to source, with some no longer being manufactured at all. We will continue to offer a wide range of photopolymer stamps to support various artistic styles and techniques.
 
Stampin’ Write Markers
We have also decided to discontinue Stampin’ Write Markers. With the growing popularity of Stampin’ Blends, we’ve seen a steady decline in sales of Stampin’ Write Markers. One of the primary techniques unique to Stampin’ Write Markers is coloring directly on cling stamps—a technique that will become less relevant as we transition away from cling.
 
New and Improved Stamp and Die Packaging
As part of our transition away from cling stamps, we’re excited to introduce updated packaging for stamps and dies! Because photopolymer stamps are thinner, we’re able to offer sleeker, slimmer packaging that saves space. Both stamps and dies will now come in the same size and style of packaging, making it easier than ever to store bundles and coordinating products together. The new packaging is similar to our current die packaging—durable, clear plastic envelopes—but with an exciting improvement: Die packaging will now feature printed artwork for quick and easy identification! Stamp packaging will continue to display artwork as well.
