September Specials and New Catalog Party this week!

September 1, 2026

It all begins today for Stampin’ Up! September specials! But before I get into those I have to remind my local gals to stop in for my New Catalog party on Thursday.

It’s the last event I’ll be holding at my home studio in Minot. We love our new home in Bismarck though but it is hard to say goodbye to our Minot friends. I sincerely hope I see most of you again since I hope to return occasionally for a class or Bunco event.

There’s a new Product of the Month for September and it’s a winner!

It’s called Luxe Foliage Specialty Designer paper and can be seen here. It’s yours for just $5 once your order reaches the $75 point. I love that they offer a new item each and every month. There’s a nice variety to choose from. I cannot believe there is still some of the Glow of Harvest DSP left. And the Begonia Belle stamp set is still available as well.

There is also a few new kits in our Kit Collection too. You can see it all here!

There are new Online Exclusives that start today! Click here to see them.

New Hot Foil products are here! Check them out here.

Get this free PDF tutorial with ANY online purchase from me in September! Gorgeous cards in this one!

Slim Sayings bundle is so versatile!

June 8, 2022
Here are a few more samples featuring the Slimline Sayings bundle that is retiring this month. See yesterday's cards here.

This first card features the Hues of Happiness designer paper.

The pretty ombre design in the Hues of Happiness DSP is beautiful with the beautiful die-cut design. I used the Tailor Made Tags for my greeting layers and stamped the 'one' on a piece of So Saffron to make it pop.

Here's the Slim Sayings stamp set; I love this greeting set so much. The variety of fonts and occasions are so versatile.

The card on the right below is simply three colors of card stock – Navy, Soft Succulent and Just Jade. I cut out one in each color to be able to make 3 cards! Just mix & match to fill in the center with the chevron pieces.

Measurements:
- Card base 8 1/2" X 7 1/4" scored at 3 5/8"
- die-cut 3 1/2" X 8 1/2"
- DSP 8 3/8" X 3 3/8"
Here are some wonderful samples from Stampin' Up! with this unique bundle. See it here; but don't forget that the dies are sold separately at 50% off right now.

Fabulous card made with the Slim Card dies; they’re 50% off!

June 7, 2022

This is one of the cards we made at my May card clubs. It features the Slim Sayings bundle in the retiring Jan-June catalog by Stampin' Up!

However, right now the dies are on sale at 50% off with the Last Chance list. See everything on sale here.

My card base is White and I added a piece of Sun Prints Designer Paper behind the chevron die-cut. Scroll down for measurements and the video too.

Did you know we have Slimline Envelopes that perfectly match these dies and a typical slim line card? They carried over into the new Annual Catalog too. They come in 3 colors; White, Smoky Slate & Soft Succulent. See them here.

I used the Slim Saying stamp set along with the Nature's Prints bundle from the new 2022-23 Annual Catalog. See the Slim Saying stamp set here and the Nature's Prints bundle here.

At club they chose either a birthday card or a graduation card; it works for both. And some made theirs into a wedding or anniversary card!

The Slim Saying stamp set & Slim Card dies are both retiring and are while supplies last. I'll be sharing more cards with this bundle today on my FB Live here at 11 am CT and also this week right here on my blog.

Measurements:
White card base 8 1/2" X 7 1/4" scored at 3 5/8", White for die-cut 3 1/2" X 8 1/2", greeting 4 1/2" X 5/8"
• Soft Succulent for greeting layer 3/4" X 4 1/2" & scrap for leaf die-cut
• Smoky Slate scrap for fern die-cut
• DSP 8 3/8" X 3 3/8"

I’ve got more ideas yet! Botanical Layers bundle cards with video

June 6, 2022

I challenged myself to use each pattern of the vellum included in the Lovely Layers vellum. You can see it here; you get 60 sheets in the pack! It includes 4 different prints and many sheets of plain vellum too.

This first card has a printed circle on it. The easy solution was to add a die-cut wreath. I used three sets of dies here; the Natural Prints, Amazing Thanks & Hydrangea dies.

My colors are Parakeet Party, Fresh Freesia, Black & White. The vellum in the kit is 1/4" larger than the 4 3/4" X 3 1/2" white layer.

Remember that it helps to place a White layer under your vellum to see it's true color.

Here are two cards; both using the Lovely Layers Vellum.

For this card I textured it with the new Quatrefoil Tile embossing folder. Embossing vellum is a wonderful way to add it to your projects; it's texture and opaqueness is so beautiful.

The colors are Polished Pink & Parakeet Party. I used the Poppy Moments and Natural Prints dies for the greenery and the Nature's Prints stamp set for the stamped leaves and greeting.
