I love to share Stampin’ Up!’s products with my blog readers, team members and customers. Today, I’m happy to share a super-fun Blog Candy Giveaway today with one lucky blog reader.
Blog Candy Giveaway
When I make a big mistake, my customers, team members or blog readers are often the beneficiaries of my big boo boo. When Vine Design was released in Stampin’ Up!’s January – June 2021 Mini Catalog, I was immediately in love. I was SO in love with this bundle that I … wait for it … ordered it twice. Because of my big oops, one of my incredible blog readers is going to win this bundle (and a couple more goodies).
Here’s what’s included in this blog candy giveaway:
- Vine Design stamp set
- Flowering Vine Dies
- An assortment of cards I’ve made
- A couple of other surprises I’ll throw in at the last minute
Here’s a look at the Vine Design Bundle (which, incidentally, is still available for purchase):
The stamp set is pretty wonderful, but it’s the Flowering Vine Dies that make this bundle a must-have. Here’s a look at the projects I’ve shared with these dies (you can click on the photos to see the original post for each project):
I will choose one winner from the comments left on today’s post to win this bundle. The winner will be announced Friday evening – that gives you TWO days to enter to win.
How to Qualify for this Blog Candy Giveaway
To qualify for this Blog Candy Giveaway, please leave me a comment on this post and answer this question:
Spring – by the ocean or in the mountains?
I can go ahead and share my response to this question – I love the cool, crisp Spring air in the mountains by morning and the ocean at night! I know that’s not fair that I chose both when I’m asking you to pick one, but I make the rules here. 🙂
I can only send product to residents of the United States, and I can only pick one winner. I can’t wait to see your responses! I’ll randomly choose a winner Friday evening and post the winner here.
While I Have Your Attention…
While you are still here, I would like to draw your attention to some big things happening this week:
In Color Bundles
With the launch of each Annual Catalog, I’m most excited about the newly released In Colors. I love the “getting to know you” part of our love affair, and I love sharing that journey with you. Since I know you will love the new In Colors as much as I do, I offer In Color Bundles with options for papers, inks, markers (and more) to complete your In Color collection.
I’ll be posting my In Color Bundles tomorrow – I hope you’ll come back to join in the fun! ♥
Product Shares & Swatch Books
I rolled out my Product Shares and Designer Series Paper Swatch Books from Stampin’ Up!’s 2021 Annual Catalog earlier this week. I love hosting shares to give participants a chance to purchase a little bit of everything from a new catalog – the papers, ribbons and embellishments. I also make swatch books, which are a great reference tool when you are creating, organizing and sharing with Designer Series Papers.

While you are preparing for all of the amazing goodies in the upcoming catalog, there are some great deals to be had online today. There are still some great discounts on retiring products AND loads of items still available in the Clearance Rack right now. Amazing steals (if you like that kind of thing)!
Don’t leave without commenting on this post so you can be included in the Blog Candy Giveaway. Here’s the question I want you to answer (even though I answered in noncommittally):
Spring – by the ocean or in the mountains?
Thanks for stopping by today!
Brian

Seeing I can’t pick both I will choose the ocean. Very early morning before the beach goers have arrived or early evening once all the beach goers have left. There is nothing quite like a earlier morning sunrise, waves crashing and then gently lapping up upon the sand. Spotting a shell treasure a bonus for sure!
Spring by the ocean…a refreshing wake up with the promise of sunshine and warmth to relax in and enjoy a good book.
Spring by the mountains. Watching the trees start to bloom is amazing. Hearing the birds come back is a sign of warmer weather coming soon. I love to see the mountains when I get a chance.
Spring in the mountains of New Mexico. Rich, bright colors of blooming cactus: orange, scarlet and yellow flowers. Welcoming mountains at sunset: pink, lavender and purple slopes. Endless skies in early morning: azure, turquoise and royal blue forever. High pine forest and low arroyo landscape: juniper, pine and chartreuse leaves. All of these colors (and many more!) are available through Stampin’Up can express Spring in mountains of New Mexico.
I will ALWAYS pick the ocean. 😁 It’s one of my favorite places to be. On another note, thanks for your inspiring blog posts. I love reading them every morning.
Hi Brian, I would have to say spring in the mountains. I feel closer to God in the mountains.
Thank you,
Oh definitely spring by the ocean. I lived in India just 15 minutes from the ocean. I loved going to the beach, wetting my feet and just feeling the cool sea breeze. I get envious nowadays of my dad who cycles all the way to the beach and sends me pictures of the sunrise.
Thanks for the chance to win these beautiful goodies.
Being a Coastal Mainer, definitely Spring by the ocean! Whether it be stormy crashing waves or sunny lapping waves, both calming to the soul.
DEFINITELY OCEAN! My heart belongs at the ocean. ❤️🌴
I’m in SC and fortunate to have both to retreat to, but the ocean is so amazing. Nothing like the beach!🌊☀️ Also, can we do another card swap like we did during quarantine?
The ocean is so inviting, calming and refreshing after a long day. The hard work, tiredness is washed away like the results of making a beautiful card .
The results of sharing the card is parties are refreshed and renewed.
I grew up on an island in Maine so I’ll have to go with spring by the ocean. By the water had always been my happy place. Love seeing your projects. Beautiful work as always.
Living on the Gulf Coat I would have to say I love the ocean. Love your cards and would love to win this bundle.
The ocean is my favorite place any time of the year! LOVE walking on the beach, looking for shells and feeling the fresh breeze!
Good Morning, Brian, I am a Spring by the Ocean gal! I love the constant roll of the waves. It amazes me that they never stop. When I get anxious, I think of the waves . . . they come in and they go out . . . sort of like a mantra to me.
Have a blessed day.
Spring in the mountains! I think I have totally overlooked this stamp set. The cards you have made are just so beautiful!
I’d say spring in the mountains with lots of blooming wildflowers.
Spring in the mountains is amazing. I love the blooming Dogwood and Redbud trees, the wildflowers and of course the Rhododendrons. Thank you for offering this bundle
By the ocean definitely. In any season. Love the shore!
Until recently, I would have easily answered this with “every season in the mountains”, but this year, I experienced spring on the ocean in SC for the first time and have to say I am in love! Thanks so much for the daily inspiration and entertainment!
Spring by the ocean. Walking along the empty beach, watching the waves roll in and out (maybe even spying a dolphin or two), and finding a unbroken shell – so peaceful and soul preserving. Thanks for your generosity and chance to win!
I would have to say spring by the Ocean. The cool breeze and salty air with the powder sugar sand between your toes just relaxes the soul. I’m a Florida girl and have never really experienced the mountains. Biggest mountain we get here in SWFL are ridiculous speed bumps! LoL
Experiencing life during a pandemic this year, I know how blessed I am to be healthy enough to enjoy either the ocean or the mountains. Sunshine and fresh air bring me joy, just like time spent in my craft room does. Like you, Brian, I’ve managed to cheat and get both. When I visit the beach, I stay in a condo that’s surrounded by trees so it feels like I’m in the mountains when not at the ocean. Happy spring, all!
That’s such a tough choice and I kind of agree with your “bend the rules” answer, so I choose the Pacific coast where you can get them both!
Spring by the Ocean!Nothing like an early morning sunrise walk hearing the waves and the early morning birds,fresh seashells swept up by the tide ready for collecting,makes me feel ready for whatever the day has to come!Thanks Brian for all your inspiration and hard work!❤️
Spring by the mountains. Love the change of seasons and how I see God at work with new life.
By the Ocean, for sure! The sound of the waves is so relaxing. Thank you, Brian, for your daily posts. Always inspirational. 🙂
Definitely the ocean… anytime of the year!
Beautiful set!
By the ocean – anything place with some water – so soothing!
Beautiful set!
Spring, Hmmm…. hard to decide…. mountains. Always loved the greenery and emerging colors.
Ocean! I grew up in south New Jersey and the sights, sounds, and smells are forever in my memory. It’s also very flat there—no mountains to sway me from the Atlantic Ocean.
By the way, your cards are so inspiring. I check every morning.
Spring….Ocean please with beautiful sunsets!!
Spring in the mountains. Earth is very grounding to me, and I need to see greenery and smell the plants coming to life.
I live closer to the mountains now, but spent the last 35 years by the ocean, so for me, it’s spring by the ocean! Just before tourist season was always a peaceful time to smell the salty air and enjoy the rhythm of the waves.
I am just getting back to making SU! a business rather than a hobby again, and this gorgeous bundle would be a di-VINE addition to my demonstration collection! 🙂
It’s the mountains for me! There’s nothing better than a walk in the woods to calm the mind and refresh the soul.
Spring in the mountains, for a little skiing, and the bluest sky you will ever see! Thanks Brian!
Ocean. I love breathing the air and feeling the sand breath my feet. Just seems to make my heart content. (I was born in the mountains so I guess the ocean is new to me)
Spring by the ocean
Spring by the ocean for me. Thanks for your Oops! generosity today, Brian. Enjoy your day!
Definitely spring in the mountains! Never liked all the places sand can end up! Thanks for a chance to win!
That will be easy to answer. Since I live near the ocean, that is my first choice. I like to go to the mountains in the fall. ❤
I would most love spring in the mountains! The cool mornings followed by warmer afternoons is so refreshing. If I could hear the ocean waves while I’m nestled in the valley between the mountains well, that would be a little bit of heaven!
Love them both but like seeing the earth come out of winter hibernation and waking up in the mountains.
We all know I am a beach girl! Ocean, beach, boats…make me happy! This bundle is also happy! I was opposite you and did not order it be really like it! Have a wonderful weekend!
This is an easy one, Brian, the ocean. Every year for the last 15, except last year, we go to St. George Island, Florida for Mother’s Day. We stay for a week and because it is not the busy season we almost have the beach for ourselves. Absolutely so beautiful! Did I mention the dolphins…
By the Ocean. Thanks, Brian!
My preference would be the mountains when they are in their beautiful aura of colors through out the seasons. God’s palette of colors is unmatched. I pull a lot of color schemes from nature. There is the Neutrals, Brights, Subtles and thank you Lord for the Autumn Regals. Like the old saying goes, ” God truly has the best box of Crayons”. But just maybe he was using Stampin Blends all along.
Spring by the ocean is breathtaking in the East Coast. Being able to sit and watch the sunrise wrapped in a blanket or sit on the beach feeling the new warmth, reading a book. Putting your feet in the ocean!!!
Spring by the ocean, we’ll any season by the ocean! Great cards!
