Price changes in the upcoming Annual Catalog

April 4, 2024

The new Annual Catalogs are starting to arrive to Demonstrators this week. Hopefully those I've ordered for my customers will start arriving within the next few weeks.

Pre-order is happening now for Demo's. We are able to order a select list of new products (starting Tuesday, April 2nd). It's so exciting to get brand new products in. I've been creating cards for swaps this month and I'm loving these new colors, gems, ribbons, stamps & bundles!

Did you know that you can get some of these exciting new products now too? Just add them to your starter kit! Click here to get started and enjoy a 20% discount on all future orders!

No one likes to hear that prices are going up. I know that. Unfortunately like everything else right in our world lately Stampin' Up! has cost increases. Unless they pass this along to us….. well, you know what could happen and we don't want that!!

Below is a list of the price changes occurring in the 2024-26 Annual Catalog. If you need any of these products I suggest you get them now; in April!

I am stocking up on many of my favorite colors of card stock this month. I'm also grabbing more envelopes too.

Remember the Last Chance sale starts next week, Tuesday, April 9th. It's tempting to wait to order some of these items. But already there are several items out of stock/sold out. So if you NEED something I suggest you get it now! See these lists here.

Fabulous & SO Easy ‘Quilted Star’ card with a cool punch trick, a free project sheet & video

January 22, 2024
One of my team members shared a card like this in our Flowerbug's group and claimed it was so easy she's making lots of these cards. I loved it so much I had to find out how she made it!

Save

I learned how by watching the creators video; her name is Julie Heitz and she goes by the Chirpy Cardmaker. I shared how to make it during last week's Live video.

The products used include the pretty Softly Stippled designer paper from our Sale-a-Bration catalog. It's free with any $50 Stampin' Up! order. See it here.

Colors are Pool Party, White & Pebbled Path. Aren't they beautiful together? Pebbled Path is like a cross between brown & gray; it's a wonderful neutral!

Here's another color combo I tried using the same Softly Stippled designer paper – Calypso Coral with Wild Wheat.

Save

You can see the 'quilting' better on this photo. That is the Softly Sophisticated embossing folder – it's also a free choice in out SAB catalog but is paired with a stamp set (greeting used here) – both are free with a $100 order. See them here.

Creating this quilted star block with paper is super easy. However watching the video helps a lot!
1. Start by drawing a line from corner to corner on your 3" white card stock square.
2. Choose 4 strips of designer paper 1/2" X 6". Add two strips to one corner and the other two strips to the corner next to it.
3. Weave the strips as shown. Then adhere down the opposite ends of each strip to the White square.
4. Trim off excess.
You might think it would be hard to get those perfect points on your star, right? That was my first thought when I saw this card layout; I'd never get them perfect. Well there's a super easy trick to it!

Save

    5. After you add your strips to the white square, trimming off the excess, you'll add four white 3/4" squares to each corner. It creates the points for you! Genius!

    6. Run the block through an embossing folder. It helps to 'deboss' it so any stitching is pressed in. When using the Softly Sophisticated folder you'll have the wrong side up on the Stampin' Up! label.

You might notice the unique banner for my greeting. It's created with the Inked & Tiled punch like this:

Save

I start out with a 5/8" white strip and insert the punch in the back of the punch; not the usual place. Wiggle it into the slot and adjust it until it's even and punch. Now you'll start looking at your punches in a new way and likely find some great options for banners! The nice thing is that it doesn't have to be a certain width to work.

Pretty Detailed Dogwood card swaps

January 18, 2024

Today I'm sharing a few swaps I received featuring the new Detailed Dogwood stamp set – one of the choices in the 2024 Sale-a-Bration catalog.

Trayce Bauer made this stunning card using Bubble Bath, Granny Apple Green and Mossy Meadow.

Save

She fussy cut the flowers out and added them to the Bubble Bath layer that has been embossed using the Softly Sophisticated embossing folder – also from our Sale-a-Bration selection.

I love how she added the dotted image to create a background on both the white layer and the greeting! The greeting die is from the Thoughtful Expressions dies.

Below is a photo of the stamp set. See it here online.

Save

It's free with a $100 purchase from Stampin' Up! through February 29th when Sale-a-Bration ends.

Next is a gorgeous card made by Angie Leach.

Save

She used a beautiful set of neutral colors – Pebbled Path, Wild Wheat, Mossy Meadow and Copper Clay. The large white die is from the Postage dies. Wow!

I love the layout. Adding a few strips below your main focal point adds balance and interest and ties the colors together too.

~~~

This last card is also a swap I received but I cannot give credit to the creator as there wasn't a name on it.

Save

Her colors of Black, Real Red and White are stunning! Note the simple stamped background on the large White layer, mimicking the main floral image. That dragonfly is such a neat image. It does not coordinate with our Dragonfly punch unfortunately.
