Holiday Catalog Launch Party with lots of new product displays

My new Holiday Catalog open house event went wonderfully on Wednesday; it was a big smash with lots of people attending.  I was ready with fabulous displays and yummy food.  Of course I forgot to take photos of the food but I did remember to grab some of the displays. 

First is the Splendid Autumn display:

I also included swaps from the Caring Leaves stamp set in the upper left. 

I made samples of some of the die-cuts I have to help showcase how they can be used.

Next is my Regal Winter display:

I shared a few of these cards on last week's Live video which you can here and another one here.

Next is the Nest of Winter suite which is filled with wood grains, birds and nature.

I shared some of these cards in this video seen here. 

I created a sample for the dies in this suite too.  I should have colored them in but I didn't take the time.

I'll share more soon!

• 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.

  Save

  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!

  Save

  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.

• Delicate Botanical Expressions card with video & free project sheet

  August 31, 2026

  Before I share today’s card I want to remind you that today is the last day to take advantage of the Designer Paper and Card stock sale. Go here to shop and grab the deals on paper.

  Here’s the pretty card I shared last week on video. We made them at my August Card Clubs. Sadly it was the last Club I’ll hold in Minot. Our house has an offer in pending and I’ll have just one last event this Thursday there. My home studio has so many wonderful memories from my friends/customers. It’s hard to say goodbye!

  I’m holding my Holiday Catalog open house September 3rd from 3:30-6 pm. If you’re local please come to see me (and the displays, food and deals!)

  It features the new Botanical Expressions die (the white leaves die-cut) seen here. It’s a single die that can be used in multiple ways. I especially love the cut lines in the dies.
  *Tip: rub waxed paper over the cutting side of your dies every few cuts; it releases the card stock easily then.

  Save

  Here I adhered it over dark green DSP and added Barely Blush DSP above and below it. There are so many pretty details here!

  The floral DSP is called Bloom Boutique Specialty paper and can be seen here. It’s filled with gold foil highlights.

  This card is a landscape gatefold card. The Peaceful Pine layer is adhered to only the left side of the card base.
  My greetings are from the Scalloped Blooms and Framed Violets sets. The inside flowers are from the Flowering Meadow stamp set.

  Save

  That pretty scalloped greeting die is also from the Scalloped Blooms bundle seen here.

  
  I created a free project sheet for this card. Click here to print or download it. It has measurements, supplies, photos and directions.

  I also shared the ‘how to’ video below. I hope you watch!

• Reserve your Holiday designer paper share now!

  August 27, 2026

  The designer papers in the upcoming 2016 Holiday catalog & newest Online Exclusives are amazing! I had a few requests to offer a share of them. If you like getting a sample of all of the new papers a share is a great option. Then you can decide if you want to order a full pack.

  The photo below shows all but one set of papers included. It’s a big bunch!

  Save

  I’m including specialty papers, new Online Exclusive papers and of course every new DSP in the catalog! There will be 82 sheets of 6 X 6″ paper in this share.

  Reserve yours here; it will be open for a few weeks into September. It’s $39 plus approximately $10 shipping in the US. *I am not offering a ribbon or embellishment share this time.

  Once the catalog goes live in early September I will order the shares. It can take up to a few weeks for it to arrive, prepped and mailed.
