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.

  • Changing up this fancy fold from a men’s card to glitzy!


    I created this neat double-flap fancy fold card for last month's Card Clubs.  It features the He's the Man suite seen here or on pages 78-79 of the 2022-23 Annual Catalog by Stampin' Up!   

    The colors include Soft Succulent, Early Espresso & White. 

    Details:

    • The White & banner die-cuts are from the All That dies; but get the stamp set & dies in a bundle at an extra 10% off here.  
    • The DSP is from the He's the Man paper
    • All greetings are from the He's All That stamp set. 
    • The background is stamped using Versamark ink on the Soft Succulent panel. 
    • The inside white is a die-cut using the Deckled Rectangle dies seen here. 

    I created a video showing you how to make it; click here to watch.  Or scroll down to the bottom of this post.  It looks hard but is sooo easy!  

    Measurements

    • Card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2"; cut off 1 1/2" of the card front.
    • side flap is 3" X 3 3/4" scored at 1/2" on the long side
    • He's the Man DSP 2 1/2" X 5 1/4"
    • White inside 4" X 5 1/4"

    I had left-over packets of this card we made for club last month and decided to change it up for a totally new look!  

    I switched out the He's the Man designer paper to the Texture Chic Specialty paper.  I also added a few vellum leaves from the Bough punch and a Gold die-cut accent from the Painted Label dies. 

    The greeting is from the Good Feelings stamp set; the label is the new Handmade Tag punch in the Holiday catalog. 

    This card features a die-cut butterfly from the Brilliant Wings dies.  The butterfly wing actually holds the left flap closed.  

    I love the double flap of this fancy fold!   Here are all three versions of my 'make-over' cards.  I love switching it up to create something totally different and the Texture Chic specialty paper doesn't disappoint!  

    And here's the video to see how it's made.  Click on the photo below to watch it.

  • Unique Silver & Gold Designer Paper technique ideas with video!


    I played with the Silver & Gold Designer Series Paper on this week's FB Live and this is one of my favorite projects: 

    My goal was to share different ways to add color to this pretty metallic themed paper.  for this card I used our Water Brushes and our 2022-24 In Color ink.  I filled the water brush with water, using the largest brush, added a wash of four of the five colors.  

    This card layout is one referred to as the Stack & Cut technique.  You start out with at least 2 pieces of Designer Paper measuring 3 3/4" X 5" and cut using the template below.  It's so easy and is a fabulous way to showcase your designer paper.  

    The sentiment is from the Amazing Phrasing stamp set – a free choice from our Sale-a-Bration catalog.  This stamp set is free with any $100 Stampin' Up! order.  See all of the Sale-a-Bration free choices here.  

    If you want either of these products why not take advantage of my BOGO sale and get free products from me with our purchase.  You'll still get New products from Stampin' Up! but also get to choose from my big bunch of retired Stampin' Up! products.  See details below, or view them all in my two albums here on my FB page.  

    Here's the video to see how it's done.  Click on the photo below.
