New Catalog Open House & BOGO is Saturday! NEW product shares are up!


I hold an Open House event with each new catalog release by Stampin’ Up! It’s a wonderful time to gather my friends and customers together and to get the new catalog in their hands. They’re always excited about these because I make a BIG DEAL over the event.

I love to show off our new products with displays and samples. I gather door prizes, free cards to give with orders, door prizes and an array of yummy food.

It’s Saturday at my home studio from 11:30 – 1:30 pm and will include a BOGO this time.

It shocks most people when they hear this, but I do not keep any of my Stampin’ Up! products from year to year. I just don’t have time to use it. So I price my retired products and put them in my garage for the sale. For each dollar you spend on my retired products you can pick out NEW items for free! Basically they are getting either one for FREE. It’s a wonderful deal for them and I can clear out my stash to make room for more. Win, win!!

If you’re near me in Minot, ND I hope you’ll come to the event. Even though I hold multiple card clubs each month I have lots of customers I only see a few times a year. It’s so neat to watch my gals gather together & catch up. I love it!

I’m also offering my Designer Paper and Embellishment shares to locals and long distance customers!

I know many who like to get a sampling of everything so they know what they want to order more of. It’s a great way to go. There’s nothing like seeing the new products in person!

Reserve your DSP share here. It includes 65 sheets of 12 different papers from the 2026 May-August catalog; all in 6 X 6″ size. You can double your share and get all but one in 6″ X 12″ size. Click here to reserve a double share.

Details:

– This share includes all NEW papers in the summer catalog; not any Online Exclusives.
– The shares will be ordered and filled in order of purchase. It may take up to 2 or more weeks to receive them.
– if products become unavailable I may wait to ship the share until all are available.
– This share includes a printed list of card stock/paper colors in each designer paper.
– it does include 6 specialty papers. It does not include the Luxe White or Everyday Essentials Mix & Match DSP.

Here are the details on my new Embellishment share:

There are 8 different gems included in this share. You’ll receive a portion of each with a total of 186 different embellishments! All are shown above except the Loose Anchor trinkets. There will be 3 of those included in the share.
*You can double this share if you’d like.

The cost is $15 for locals (add $4 for shipping). No additional shipping is needed if you add this on to your DSP share above; I’ll combine shipping.

Reserve your embellishment share here.

Get both! You can opt in and get both shares here.

  • Artist of the Month showcase: Donna with the Sending Love bundle


    Donna chose the Sending Love bundle for here 'Artist of the Month' showcase.  

    Today I'll share half of the cards she made and the other half tomorrow.  

    This one is a favorite of mine. There's something about the color combination. Vanilla with Lost Lagoon & Calypso Coral. And her coloring!

    Next is a card that looks just like a postcard!  

    She stamped a background on the Starry Sky 'Postcard' layer then added the best 'faux' postcard over it.  Below is the inside view: 

    Next is her amazing slimline card; it's a huge WOW!

    Isn't this an amazing scene?  She used Azure Afternoon, Granny Apple Green, Gray Granite and the In Color DSP. She created the hills with the Basic Borders dies seen here.  They're half off right now at just $17.40 instead of $29.  I've used these so often and am very sad they're retiring.  

    The cloudy sky was created by using the cloud/scalloped Basic Border dies as a mask (top die seen above). She also used the Give it a Whirl dies seen here for the stitched cloud die-cuts; they're just $19.50 and were $39.  The 'Sending' die-cut greeting is from the Sending dies seen here.  They're also on sale for $19.80.

  • Look at these Sweet Thoughts Memories & More card – Fast & Fabulous!


    Do you ever want to craft & create but don't have enough time to get out multiple supplies and think up ideas?  Time should never stop you from creating!  

    I made a few of these cards on last week's Live video and afterwards made more; all in just a few minutes! 

    I didn't need any inks or stamps; I used the greetings in the card pack.  So fast!  

    I used the Sweet Thoughts card pack seen here; it's 40% off right now. And the cards & envelopes are also on sale. See them here. 

    There are times you need to make quick, easy cards just to get your creative fix! 

    I did use a paper trimmer to cut some of the cards into pieces. For instance notice the colorful striped edges on a few of the cards.  Those are all from one M & More card; I cut it into 3 pieces.  

    Who wouldn't love to give or receive these pretty cards?! 

    I used just half a package of these beautiful cards to make these 15 full cards.  These Memories & More cards in the pack are discounted right now in the Last Chance list. They're now $6 instead of $10.  See them here. 

    The photo of the cards above does not do them justice! Check out the stack on the above left.  The package includes 6 sheets of adhesive die-cuts that are fun to embellish with.

    You can use these for cards OR scrapbooking.  I shared my Sweet Thoughts scrapbook pages on Friday's post; see it here. Click here to see my pre-cut scrapbook kit (or tutorial) in my Shop.  

    You can see the envelopes behind these cards.  They are included in the cards & envelopes pack seen here. They're larger than our standard cards – finished size is 6 1/4" X 4 1/4" and are also discounted to $8 instead of $10. 

    I did add Iridescent Pearls and a few ribbons to these cards. Not necessary but always fun to embellish! 

    I hope you don't let time stop you from crafting. Add a few of these Memories & More cards or a kit from our Kit Collection for those times you want to create easily without much 'work'.
