One of the perks of being a Stampin Up Demonstrator is getting early access to new products. I love that I can order supplies in advance so I can get started playing with new things right away. My number one item from the new Catalog that starts on June 4th is the Magnolia Lane Suite. Yes, the entire Suite. Stampin Up did an incredible job on this Suite making sure everything coordinated beautifully. Since they arrived a few weeks ago, the … [Read more...] about A Trip Down Magnolia Lane…

Hello New Colors!
As I mentioned a few weeks ago, Stampin Up releases a set of new In Colors every year and these colors are sold for only two years. I previously shared Rococo Rose and Seaside Spray, which actually pair together quite nicely. Today, I’m revealing the remaining three new In Colors…from left to right: Pretty Peacock, Purple Posy, and Terracotta Tile.All five colors work so well together. These are great complimentary colors to our existing line … [Read more...] about Hello New Colors!
Retirement Is Around The Corner
There are only thirteen more shopping days left for the current Catalog. The list of retiring products is long this year… so many great items are going away. Not only that, but any stamps/dies or stamps/punches currently sold in a bundle with reduced pricing will also lose their “bundle” pricing at the end of this Catalog. If you were on the fence about any of the retiring products, you shouldn’t wait any longer on these items. Everything is now … [Read more...] about Retirement Is Around The Corner
Piece of Cake
Who needs a birthday to have an excuse to celebrate? Not me! We are closing in on the last month of school for my daughter and my son finishes up his first year of college this next week and that is reason enough to celebrate. I really, really, really look forward to the end of the school year - all that homework, all those tests, all those school commitments. Of course, they are both taking summer school this year to get ahead, but it's not … [Read more...] about Piece of Cake
Father’s Day is Around the Corner
One of my favorite projects to make is treat holders and packaging. There are so many different things that you can make and you can find hundreds of different ideas online. Today’s project is one of my favorites and is so easy to make. This is called a “diaper fold” treat holder. There are four simple steps to make this packaging. Since I do so much better with visual images, I’m including a diagram on how to do the folds.Using the images … [Read more...] about Father’s Day is Around the Corner
April Customer Thank You
Today I’m sharing my April Thank You card that I sent out to those that made a purchase during the month of April. In addition, some of you took advantage of my customer special and those were mailed out with your thank you card. I’m hoping you’ve already received them so I’m not spoiling the surprise here. This card is definitely one that's easy to replicate if you have a bunch of cards you need to make. To give the card a little something … [Read more...] about April Customer Thank You
Happy Belated Mother’s Day!
I usually try to share gift and card ideas before the actual date so you can have a chance to recreate them for your own gift-giving. However, I had to hold the pictures of my Mother's Day gift for my mom until after I gave it to her. I'm sure you understand. I think one of the prettiest Suites in the upcoming new Catalog is the Magnolia Lane Suite. This Suite has a gorgeous stamp set and coordinating dies, fabulous pattern paper, and … [Read more...] about Happy Belated Mother’s Day!
