I am back today with another Five Minute Friday. These are cards that you can create in five minutes or less. Today I am featuring April’s Paper Pumpkin kit. I love all things nautical, which is totally crazy because I get seasick. Really, really seasick. For me, being on a boat is totally miserable. Even just watching a boat bob up and down in the water will make me nauseous. In fact, just thinking about a boat bobbing up and down and up and … [Read more...] about Five Minute Friday – April Paper Pumpkin
What happens in Vegas…
Stays in Vegas! Actually, not this time. I've been dying to share the Recap from Onstage a couple weeks ago, but we usually have a "no spoilers policy" in place for a couple days after the event. And then I'm usually playing catch-up after being gone for a few days. This time, OnStage came right on the heels of a work conference so I was gone for five days, which means quite a bit more catch-up around the house. The OnStage location that we … [Read more...] about What happens in Vegas…
Color Coach
I'm sure you think that all of us Stampin Up Demonstrators are whizzes when it comes to matching colors. But, just like everyone else, we get stuck on what colors we should pair together when we want to try something new. One of the amazing templates that Stampin Up provides to us is a Color Coach. If you need it, it's there online and you just print it out. Since we are getting a Color Revamp with the start of the new Catalog in June, Stampin … [Read more...] about Color Coach

So Long, Farewell… Watercolor Wings
Another card with quite a few retiring items... The stamp set Watercolor Wings, Whole Lot of Lovely pattern paper, ribbon, and sequins are all retiring at the end of May. I'm really sorry to see this stamp set go. It has been a long-time favorite. I'll definitely be keeping this set for a long time. The Butterfly dies are retiring as well. Truly sad! Be sure to get your set before they sell out completely. The two Butterfly die sets … [Read more...] about So Long, Farewell… Watercolor Wings
Sweet Soiree Treats
I am on a mission to share as much retiring product as I can before the current Catalog ends May 31st. These adorable Mini Gift Bows will be retiring along with the Sweet Soiree pattern paper and Sweet Soiree Ready Shreddie. The Sweet Soiree paper contains gorgeous metallic foiled flowers and cakes on one side and simple patterns on the reverse. Both sides are great depending on what you need for your project. And these bows! They are … [Read more...] about Sweet Soiree Treats
Five Minute Friday – We Make A Great Pear
The Tutti-Frutti Suite in the Occasions catalog is the sweetest thing yet. I love the itty bitty fruit stamps, the itty bitty coordinating punches, and the itty bitty stamp pads. This Suite is jam-packed with vibrant, delicious colors. The Tutti-Frutti pattern paper is absolutely mouthwatering. With these snack-sized fruit images, I can’t wait to get creating. Okay, enough with the puns! The Fruit Basket stamp set contains all the little pieces … [Read more...] about Five Minute Friday – We Make A Great Pear

In case you're new to Stampin Up, the Retirement List is all of the fabulous products that we will say goodbye to with the end of the current 2017-18 Catalog.
