Quick & Elegant Sympathy Card
I’ll bet you were wondering what my favorite new stamp sets are out of the new catalog. What are yours favorites?
We like to start in the back of the catalog and that means Hostess sets! And this is one of the two first Hostess Sets that we picked.
It was quick and easy, but perfect for
Endless Birthday Wishes
What kind of stamps do you like to stamp with? I know you love our Stampin’ Up! stamps, but which type? Wood mount? Clear mount? or Photopolymer?
Wood is…
Vellum Thank You Card & Video
Geometric Designs are very trendy. And this dog knows trendy. When planning a video for our Master Stampers this week, we came up with this Double Vellum Geometric Card. But the real story is all about hiding the adhesive when you’re tacking down your vellum. Why? Because eventually ALL adhesives show under vellum. Maybe not right away, but wait a couple years.
You DO expect your loved ones to hold onto your cards at least that long, right?
Easy Ice Cream Card
Here’s an easy to make Ice Cream card if you like Strawberry Shortcake. Remember those? They were before my time.
It’s made with Stampin’ Up!’s new What’s Your Type stamp set that goes on sale today at Noon Mountain Time. That’s 11am Pawcific, 1pm Central (for my friend Doodles in Texas) and 2pm for those in the Eastern Time zone.
8th Grade Graduation Card
What kind of graduation card do you make for an 8th Grade Graduation? They think they’re grown up. NOT!
It’s still a very special time.
Yesterday, our friend…
Goodbye Happy Watercolor
What are Ann & I going to miss when the Stampin’ Up! Occasions Seasonal Catalog goes away on June 1st? There are many things that will be gone after June 1st and will not appear in the new catalog. We use a couple of our favorites here:
Happy Watercolor Stamp Set (Wood or Clear)
Watercolor Wonder Designer Note Cards & Envelopes
But can you spot the error? Should we get a big arrow out and point to it?
A Memorial Day Challenge
Thank you to all our service members, both present and past, for their efforts in keeping our land free.
And with that, Ann and I would like to challenge Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators – but especially those who attended the Stampin’ Up! Catalog Premiere event.
Not a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator? You can still do it!
In Color Sneak Peek
Of course, we’re giving 20 paws up to our service members and to those who have fought to keep our country safe.
Would you like a quick and easy card to add to your collection? This one fits the Fast & Fabulous criteria. And when you make it with our Notecards and Envelopes, you’ll be done in a flash!
Want to Swap?
One of the grrrreat things about being a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator is that you get to swap ideas. Instead of having to think it all up yourself, Ann’s hosting a swap for the the 24/7 Stampers. What is a swap?
Emerging Color Leaves Video
Emerging Color is a rubber stamping technique that works well with large, bold stamps. It’s amazing what a little sponging can do to really wow your friends.
Another Blendabilities Sneak Peek
I shared Karen’s Blendabilites Markers project in this post, but here’s a sneak peek at at what I found on Ann’s stamp table. This is Ann’s first attempt at using the new Stampin’ Up! Blendabilities markers. They’re alcohol bases and easy to blend on Whisper White and Very Vanilla.
What’s Up for Father’s Day Cards?
Not all Father’s Day cards are alike. What about the new dad that’s not a dad until after Father’s Day? What about the dad who’s kids are all grown up and gone?
Do you give your husband or significant other a Father’s Day card? Or do you only give one to your own dad? Here’s a card to make any man feel good whether it’s for Father’s Day, a birthday or just to make him feel good.
Blended Bloom Sneak Peek
Every now & then we’ve got to share something fun. Here is the first swap card we received from Karen Thomas, one of our 24/7 Stampers.
The 24/7 Stampers are having a swap of new catalog stamps and products and Karen did hers with the new Blended Bloom stamp (#135906) and Blendabilities markers that are currently only available to Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators.
Limited Edition Birthday Set
Are you a fan of clear mount stamps? Then you should LOVE the Stampin’ Up! Photopolymer stamps! And they just released a set that’s only around while supplies last. It’s so versatile that I’m sure it’s not going to be around long! It’s called Endless Birthday Wishes.
Stampin’ Up! doesn’t use just any photopolymer. They use a high quality photopolymer to make the stamps right in the birthplace of…
You Can Make This DIY Card
This has been a very popular card for us when we made this video. It’s been pinned on Pinterest almost 1,000 times! Now the Bright Blossoms stamp set is retiring. (you can get it in wood mount or clear mount.) It’s a 2-Step stamp set that is only available while supplies last.
