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!

Our beautiful new In Colors are a favorite choice to add to a Starter Kit:

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.

Thoughtful Journey designer paper paired with In The Grove for stunning results!

May 6, 2024
I shared this beautiful card on last week's Live video.

Save

It features a few new products in the 1024-25 Annual Catalog;
- Thoughtful Journey 6 X 6" designer paper seen here
- In the Grove dies seen here
- Spotlight on Nature bundle seen here
This Thoughtful Journey designer paper is incredible! Many people love the watercolor look of this type of scenic paper.

Save

To me it seems the perfect choice for thinking of you, sympathy or get well cards.

I made a few of these cards with the Lily Pond Lane designer paper too. You can see both in the photo below:

Here's a free printable project sheet for you: Download In the Grove scene

My card bases are Misty Moonlight and the White birch tree die-cut is approximately 5" X 3 3/4"; as is the designer paper under it. See the Lily Pond Lane designer paper here.

I think these scenic cards are fabulous. Those birch tree die-cuts sure make quick but beautiful cards!

You can see this card being made on my video below plus another card made with the In the Grove bundle.

A WOW fun fold card that has to be the easiest ever!

May 3, 2024

If you are looking for a great idea for designer papers that create a scene this layout is it!

Save

Start with a card base of 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4". Then cut a 4" X 5 1/4" piece of designer paper and trim off the right side at 3/4". Add that strip to the left side of your card base and the larger half to the left folded side.

Isn't that the best & most simple layout?! Think of the many cards you could make with this design.

The card features the stunning Meandering Meadows designer paper pack. This paper can be found here in our Online Exclusives – but is currently unavailable until later May.

Save

I wouldn't wait too long to order this DSP; when they run out they don't always re-order and then it's gone for good. That's how the Online Exclusive products work.

Here's an inside view:

There are so many beautiful scenes in this pack of paper and most sheets coordinate with our Starry Sky, Balmy Blue or Shaded Spruce cardstock. *Starry Sky has retired now; I will miss this pretty blue color.

Save

I featured the Perennial Postage bundle for both the greetings and the label die-cut.

Save

The dies did carry over into the new catalog but the stamp set did not and is retired now. The dies are currently out of stock but should be available in about 2 weeks; around May 13th.

Save

I hope you like this simple but beautiful card. It's perfect when you need a quick but fabulous card design.

Understanding Color Theory (the Color Wheel) with video

May 2, 2024

If choosing color combinations is challenging for you the Color Theory video below may help you out.

You can find a printed color wheel in the new Annual Catalog on page 132. Some of us lucky Demo's received a real color wheel at OnStage in Houston. It was a surprise perk for attendees.

Stampin' Up! has heard from many people begging for one since they saw it. Stay tuned; they are producing another that will be available for purchase later this year. In the meantime please watch the video seen further below to see how you can use this color wheel.

Here's a photo of the printed color wheel in the catalog:

My top favorite and easiest way to combine colors is Monochromatic. This means hues of one color – blues, greens etc. Monochromatic projects are soothing to the eye and can be seamless.

My second favorite is to use complimentary colors such as pink & green or yellow with purple.

If you're using designer paper Stampin' Up! has done the work for you – just choose from the colors listed on the back of each package.

Honestly, how I usually choose colors is to hold the card stock pieces next to each other. For me that's easy, but I know others struggle so I hope the video below will help you out.
