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.

  • I really did play with the ‘Playing with Patterns’! Check out the video!


    I had a lot of fun mixing up the patterns in this super cute designer paper on a Facebook Live video.  *See it below. 

    First is a play on triangles. These pieces are just 3/4" wide X 3" long! What a fun way to use your scraps!!

    Cut 6 pieces of Designer Paper at 3/4" X 3" and then cut each one from one corner to the opposite one.  Now you can piece these together on a contrasting piece of card stock measuring 4" X 5 1/4".  Be sure to watch the video below to see how it's done.  

    The greeting circle is from the Painted Label dies and the greeting is from the Pattern Play stamp set.  See the entire suite of Playing with Patterns products here. 

    Next is a fun card where you cut narrow strips of designer paper and piece them onto a background sheet.  Just offset them slightly to create a 'Bargello' look. This is a quilting technique perfect for striped paper! 

    Which one is your favorite?  The colors are Crushed Curry, Calypso Coral, Coastal Cabana and Night of Navy. 

    I like the one below as the Bargello look is more apparent with the dark Navy strips.   The greeting dies are from one of my favorites; the Stitched So Sweetly dies in the annual catalog seen here.  

    Get the details on creating these techniques in the video below.

    Remember I host Facebook Live videos 6 times a month!  Each Tuesday at 11 am Central Time and the 2nd & 4th Monday's at 7:30 pm CT.  Check them out here: 

    This video is from a few weeks ago and the card kits mentioned are sold out. The pdf tutorials are still available however. Click here to see them. 

    Aren't these just plain fun!!!

  • A pretty home decor framed sampler with Life is Beautiful!


    I made this shadow box home decor piece with my Life is Beautiful stamp set.  It fits in a 12" shadow box frame. 


    Here's the Life is Beautiful stamp set I helped design as part of my Million Dollars in sales achievement with Stampin' Up!. You can order it here. 

    Two tips! 

    • The 'ground' image can also be clouds!  Cool, right?
    • And if you stamp the tree twice, you can achieve a 'thicker' trunk and fuller tree.  Just lower the image on the second stamping.  

    I did use the Field of Flowers stamp set for the grass, flowers & dragonflies.  I sponged the white card stock with Balmy Blue to remove the 'white' background.  I added Shimmery Crystal Effects on the dragonflies and leaves on the top greeting piece. 

    Colors used: Soft Suede, Granny Apple Green, Calypso Coral, Old Olive, Balmy Blue

    Products: In Good Taste Designer Paper, sponges, Linen Thread, Heat embossing in White, Shimmery Crystal Effects, Artistry Blooms adhesive backed sequins, 2 shades of Brown markers for bird house, 



    I hope you like it! Thanks for stopping in today!

  • Beautiful Autumn paired with Plaid Tidings


    There are lots of gorgeous Fall products in the 2020 Holiday catalog.  I paired a few of my favorites to create this card; the Beautiful Autumn punch bundle and Plaid Tidings 6 X 6" designer paper pack. 

    I trimmed off 3/4" from the front flap to reveal the strip of pretty Plaid Tidings designer paper.  I chose to use Bumblebee, Mint Macaron, Early Espresso and Terracotta Tile inks here.  

    The Beautiful Autumn bundle includes the stamp set and the three leaf punches; all for 10% off.  Click here to see it online. 

    I also used the Wrapped in Texture embossing folder for the front layer, which is 5 1/4" X 3". See them here. 

    Look at the detailed punched images here!   You might also notice the Sequins for Everything.  Love the variety of shapes and colors in these.  

    Here's a Facebook Live video where I shared three pretty fall cards using the Beautiful Autumn bundle.  Join me each Tuesday at 11 am  CT for my weekly Live videos here: https://bit.ly/FlowerbugFB
