How can it be March already?

 Did your March come in like a lion or a lamb? I know it sure came in quickly. It's like I blinked and missed February. I just realized that it has been a month since my last blog post! Yikes, didn't mean to do that. So let's set a goal: a minimum of once a week I'll check in with you. Let's go!

News in the Stampin' Up!® world includes brand new kits and Online Exclusives! Have you seen them yet? The new kits are a bit different this time-one is a set of standing clipboards! What? Have you ever made a card and wished you could display it for a while? Well, now you can. Three sizes are included.

Here's one with a project displayed on it. I can't wait to see that moth in person, it has gold highlights! That kit is called Radiant Reminders. It makes three items that can be displayed on the three clipboards.

Endless Love Valentine Card Class

Do you send Valentine's Day cards? I love sending them to my grandkids! 😊 The Endless Love bundle on page 30 of the new Mini Catalog adds a wow factor to my Pop Up Endless Love Valentine Card Class. 💕I am offering a quick pop-up class using this beautiful suite of Valentine products. 

Details about this class can be found HERE

You will make 4 pretty Valentine cards and can get this class in the mail. Add on the bundle so you can stamp just like mine. Deadline is next Friday, Feb. 6. Yes, I know, that's pretty quick but Valentine's Day is only a week after that! 

Have a great day and keep on smiling!

Until next time,

Exciting Day-New Releases!

 Today is an exciting day at Stampin' Up!®! A brand new mini catalog has been released! (Sorry lots of exclamation marks). Didn't you get one? Let me fix that. Contact me HERE so I can send you one.

Brand New Mini Catalog

A New Mini Catalog, Jan-Apr Mini, is live today. Oh my, do you have any favorites yet? Let me know if you want a paper catalog. Here is the digital one, click on picture.

Announcing Product of the Month Promotional

 Hello, friends! Did you have a nice Christmas? Are you cleaning up and getting ready for the new year? I know I am. With a new mini catalog set to launch on January 6, I am pulling retired stamps to get ready for new stamps! 

With a new year, Stampin' Up! has announced a new promotion that is taking the place of Sale-a-bration called Product of the Month. It actually started this month, December. The first exclusive product was a package of 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper called True Blue Florals.

I like to make display boards to show the front and back of our pretty Designer Series Paper. This time I had an idea-use the same layout to make cards using the same sheet of DSP, a piece of the front and back. Here's what I mean:

True Blue Florals coordinates with two of Stampin' Up!'s blues: Night of Navy and Balmy Blue. 

How can you get a package of this pretty paper? It's really easy: place an order for $75+ before shipping and tax, add on the True Blue Florals DSP for only $5. These products are while supplies last so once they sell out, they are gone. They are not part of any catalog or online exclusive and will not be offered again. Need more info? Check it out HERE

Want to see how I made these cards? Here's the LINK for the video.

Cutting Instructions for the card:

Card Base can be cut 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", score at 4 1/4" and fold OR cut 4 1/4" x 11", score at 5 1/2" and fold.

Cardstock for bottom layer: 4" x 5 1/4"

DSP: 3 7/8" x 3" and 3 7/8" x 2 1/8"; I used the same piece of DSP, front and back.

Thanks for stopping by. Hope you grab you a package of True Blue Florals DSP. I can't wait to see what January's Product of the Month is. Any guesses?

Until next time,

Merry Christmas

 

Thank you to all my friends and customers. This year has been difficult with my husband's knee infection and numerous hospitalizations. I have missed seeing everyone coming to card classes in my home and  I am looking forward to the new year being healthier and getting back to hosting again. I appreciate your support through the absence.

Merry Christmas, my friends. May you experience the love and joy of Jesus.
