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.

  • Split Front card technique; it’s easy with my template & video!


    We made this pretty set of cards on Monday night's Stamp with Me Live.  It's the 2nd & 4th Monday's at 7:30 pm CT.  Click here and follow my page to get notified when I'm live.  There are 6 live videos each month! 

    I used the Beauty of the Earth DSP seen here.  The die-cuts are from the Iconic and Artistic dies. in White & Misty Moonlight. The greeting is from the In Symmetry stamp set. Those pretty Subtle Shimmer sequins are from the upcoming Holiday catalog which starts next week!!  

         

    I also used another sneak peak product from the upcoming Holiday catalog; the Timber 3D embossing folder.  Of course I stamped the greeting before I embossed it. 

    I hope you watch the video below to get the tips on cutting these pieces and finishing the cards. 

    Here is the template.  Start out with a 4" X 5 1/4" piece of card stock AND of Designer Paper.  

    I suggest you cut this out of scrap card stock.  Make marks where indicated and cut on the diagonal.  Once you have the template I first place the bottom left piece (2 1/2") over my cut DSP & CS pieces and cut.  Then I use the upper right piece (3 3/4") on the remaining piece of papers and cut.  That leaves me with the center piece ready to go. 

    Here's the video for you:

  • Welcoming Woods sponged background


    Here's one more card featuring the upcoming Welcoming Woods stamp set from the Holiday Catalog. 

    I went for a colorful background here with Highland Heather, Calypso Coral and Daffodil Delight. 

    I kept this at an extremely simple layout.  Sometimes I just look in my scrap basket of colors I want to use and figure out a layout with them.  These cards frequently turn out to be my favorites!

    Measurements:

    • White card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2", White main image 3" X 4 1/4"
    • Black 3 3/4" X 2 1/4"
    • Calypso Coral 1 5/8" X 4 1/4" 
    • Daffodil Delight strip 1/2" X 4" 

    I hope the cards I've shared using this Welcoming Woods stamp set have inspired you to add it to your list!  We can order from the Holiday catalog starting Tuesday, August 3rd!

  • Welcoming Woods Holiday Catalog Sneak Peak


    With each new catalog I join a bunch of online swaps so I can get lots of samples to share with my customers.  Both the Holiday catalog and a 2nd Sale-a-Bration catalog start on August 3rd!  I know my customers started to receive theirs last week. 

    I loved the Welcoming Woods stamp set immediately.  Nature, trees, 'scene building' sets are some of my favorites.  

    I went for a soft look of winter trees on my card. 

    I stamped the trees in Crumb Cake ink onto the White CS.  Then I added snowflakes in Balmy Blue ink and sponged a light 'mist' of Balmy Blue on the sky.  Of course I added a few rhinestones for sparkle!

    That beautiful Designer Paper is called Harvest Meadow.  

    The tags for the greeting is from the Tailor Made Tags dies seen here. 

    Measurements:

    • Crumb Cake card 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
    • White 3" X 4"
    • Balmy Blue 3 1/4" X 4 1/4"
    • Harvest Meadow DSP 2" X 4 1/4"
