Catalog Transition Day.....and some inspiration!

Today is what Stampin' Up! is calling catalog transition day.  What does that mean for you?  Well, it means that you can order today from both the 2014-2015 AND the 2015-2016 Catalogs as well as the Occasions Catalog and order My Digital Studio downloads (still at 30% off) today, June 2nd!

Starting tomorow, June 3rd you can continue to order from the brand new 2015-2016 Catalog.

I'll admit I've been a bit of a slacker when it comes to my stamping and I'm working to amend that.  Here are a couple of recent projects to inspire you.


This adorable gift bag was made using the beautiful Painted Blooms designer series paper.  It's from the Occasions Catalog, and soon to be gone for good.  The ribbon used on the handles is the Blackberry Bliss 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon, also on the retiring list.

It's made using the new Gift Bag Punch Board from the new 2015-2016 Catalog!  I found this punch board to be a little more tricky (you just have to go slow), but I love the results.  For this bag, I used a full 12" x 12" piece of designer series paper.  You are limited to the width of the bag, but the height can be as tall as your paper (you just have to use the Simply Scored tool or paper trimmer w/scoring blade to score beyond the punch boards dimensions).

I see lots of gift bags in my future!


This next project is one I made for my swap card at a demonstrator meeting I attended last night.  It uses the new stamp set, Sprinkles of Life, the latest Ronald McDonald House Charities stamp set.  The new paper stack used, Cherry on Top designer series paper stack, is bright and cheery and goes so well with this stamp set.


I think you are going to love so many of the new products in this catalog!  If you are my customer, or don't have a demonstrator and would like a copy for yourself, just let me know.  I'd love to share the joy of rubber stamping with you.

2011 Desktop Calendar

This month in my stamp club meetings, I had the gals make these desktop calendars. It was a big hit. The image to the left of the calendar can be changed according to the season (winter, spring, summer & fall) by removing the image and placing one of the other 3 onto the velcro dot (attached behind the image). The corresponding side of the velcro dot is placed on the back side of the images. I used the stamp set A Flower for all Seasons , #111592, $14.95. And, the extra images are stored inside in a small cellophane bag. The calendar base takes only 1 sheet of card stock to make, measuring 9" x 6-1/2". With simple scoring and folding, it goes together very quickly. Another demonstrator had shared the calendar file that is printed onto printer paper and cut to size. All fit into the 1/2" library clip from the clips assortment (#112580; $6.95). There are 8 of them included in the package along with a couple of other style of paper clips. While they are still ...

#SU! Christmas Season Simple Elegance Card

When you participate in a swap with other Stampin' Up! Demonstrators, you often get some great ideas! Such was the case this month for me. I received in the mail a swap I participated in (hint: I share the card sent to me in my video tutorial!) this month. My good friend often includes me in her team swaps, and I'm so grateful. I loved the layout and immediately thought of the Christmas Season stamp set. This layout goes together so quickly that you could easily put together a stack of Christmas cards in no time. Change up the colors, and have a variety, or keep them all the same. Whatever you decide, I hope you'll try this out. Here are the measurements for the card: Sahara Sand cardstock: 5-1/2"x8-1/2", scored at 4-1/4" horizontally  Blackberry Bliss cardstock: 3-7/8"x5-1/8" Basic White cardstock: 3-3/4"x5"; 4"x5-1/4" (inside); scrap for the greeting large enough to be cut from the Picture This Die Vellum cardstock : 1-1/8...
