You know I like to set goals, right? Well, I had two goals when I set out to make today’s card – I wanted to make a masculine card (I had a ten year-old in mind, but this card can work well for almost any age), and I wanted to make something fun with Stampin’ Up!’s new Triangle punch. Here’s my card: Tips, Tricks and Reminders Triangle Punch Border. The Occasion Catalog introduces a new Triangle…
A new year gives us the opportunity to start over with a clean slate – we can decide to exercise more, quite smoking or watch more movies on pay-per-view. The Paper Players have issued a great challenge for the beginning of the year – “A Clean Slate – Projects that Feature the Chalkboard Technique.” Clever way to sneak in a technique challenge, Nance Leedy! Here’s my soft and subtle card that showcases the Chalkboard Technique: And here’s the challenge…
By now, I hope you’ve had a chance to flip through the New Occasions Catalog to soak up all the beauty within those pages. As a demonstrator, I’ve been soaking up its beauty since November. This catalog is filled with wonderful stamps, incredible papers and bundles that you can’t pass up. I have some definite opinions about the products that are now available for you to buy. Today, I am sharing my favorite items from the 2014…
The Pals Paper Arts team has a gorgeous color combination for us this week. Never would I have thought to pair Island Indigo, Gold and Whisper White, but I sure love how they look together. Not only did I use this opportunity to combine some gorgeous colors, but I was excited to use some new products from the Occasions Catalog and this year’s Sale-a-Bration items. Here’s today’s project: And here’s the banner from this week’s Pals Paper…
The 2014 Occasions Catalog is LIVE today – woo hoo! That means no more sneak peeks at products you can’t buy until Jan 3 – now, I’m showing you products you can buy today. Does it get any better than that?!? To celebrate the kickoff of the Occasions Catalog, I’m sharing a great project that involves a brand new stamp set and five cards in varying colors and slighly varying layouts. You’re going to love this project. Before I…
As you know, today is the last day to order from the 2013 Holiday Catalog. Such sadness. That also means tomorrow is the first day to order from the 2014 Occasions Catalog. Jubilation fills the air. As such, I am placing an order to fill the 2014 Occasions Catalog Product Shares tomorrow morning so that I can have the product on Monday and ship it all out at the first of next week. Yipee! If you…
Today is the last day to order items from the 2013 Holiday Catalog. Since I’m still so nostalgic (New Year’s Day has that effect on people, doesn’t it?), I thought today would be a great day to reflect on the products in the Holiday Catalog that are going away (we won’t know if these stamp sets are officially retired until Spring, but I’m sharing some of the stamp sets that are not included on Stampin’ Up!’s carryover list). Before we start looking…
Happy New Year’s Day, my friends! As we wrapped up 2013, I shared a card to celebrate the jubilation of New Year’s Eve, I looked back fondly at 2013 with some of my favorite cards from the year, and I waxed poetic about the importance of fairly evaluating our lives on the last day of the year – “life doesn’t have to be perfect to be wonderful.” Today – on the first day of 2014…
The excitement of new Stampin’ Up! catalogs can be overwhelming – there are so many new products that we often don’t even know where to start our wish list. That’s where product shares are so helpful. When you sign up for a seat in one of my shares or order a set of my Designer Series Paper Swatch Books, you’ll have “a little bit of everything” – you can “kick the tires” and decide for…
It’s always an exciting day when Stampin’ Up! drops new items into the Clearance Rack. It’s your opportunity to purchase incredible retired products at up to 80% off the original list price. Who doesn’t love that!? Stampin’ Up! has, once again, restocked the Clearance Rack with all sorts of goodies. This is a perfect time to take a peek at the new items because they won’t be there long – these items are only available until they sell out. …
