Let's check out the colours

Here are a few more of the colours our ladies chose from our last class. I really can't pick a favourite, they are all so lovely.

Which one is your favourite?

CELEBRATE EVERYTHING!

There are so many things to celebrate throughout the year—so why not do it with the A Wish for Everything Bundle! With greetings that will fit every special occasion, this bundle comes with the dies and stamps that can bring a pop to all your celebration.

These are perfect to pair with other stamp sets too, just like Stampin" Up! did in these lovely samples—we used the A Wish for Everything bundle and paired them with the Wildly Happy Stamp Set and the Rooted In Nature Stamp Set to create these stunning cards.

So whether it’s for an anniversary, to thank a friend, to tell someone how much they matter to you, or for no reason in particular, everyone will love the little sentiments you give all year.

FREE AS A BIRD

Are you looking for some showstopper products from the 2019–2020 annual catalogue? Stampin' Up! have the perfect suite waiting in the wings. It’s called Bird Ballad and the images and sentiments are incredibly versatile. Plus, with birds taking the starring role in this suite, I think this would appeal to just about everyone. I love this Bird Ballad Suite, you will too.

Want to know how Stampin' Up! created this suite of products? 

One of our stamp illustrators drew the stamp and Designer Series Paper images. They were

then handed over to the concept art department where each image was

coloured using Stampin’ Blends. Next, one of our designers scanned the

hand-coloured designs to edit, duplicate and fine-tune coloured images for

the Designer Series Paper. 

COME SAIL AWAY WITH US

Sail away on an open course to creativity with the Come Sail Away Suite! The artsy maritime Designer Series Paper, stamp set, and coordinating dies come together perfectly to help you feel you’re relaxing on the cape. With some Baker’s Twine and Sail Away Trinkets, you can make handmade cards for everyone on your list, no matter where they are in their journey. I'm thrilled to be able  to share these beautiful samples with you.
Can see the endless possibilities this suite has to offer!

But if all you want are stamps and dies, the Sailing Home Bundle is perfect for you, and you can buy it separately with its own item number and price! Whatever you need to give the gift of sailing (without actually buying a boat), we’ve got you covered! So trim your sails and set a course for crafting nostalgia with this fun nautical suite and bundle. You won’t be able to get enough of it!

Another great video put out by Stampin' Up! I am loving the inspiration, how about you?

The kit includes components for making 16 birthday cards, 4 each of 4 designs, plus the box to store them in.

Keep Bringing Birthdays Back

Our Stampin’ Up! Training Manager, Shannon West, personally sent out over 2,000 birthday cards last year—wow!

My birthday card ambition may not be that grand, but my 2017 birthday list is getting worked on and I want to plan on sending out cards to everyone on it. Sadly I have missed the first few months of this year as I was still gathering my birthday dates. Let's hope I have them all now.

Here is a video of four fun birthday card ideas from the occasions catalogue.



Shannon shows us how to make some gorgeous projects. Maybe you want to order the #imbringingbirthdaysback stamp (item 143573). I quite like of stamping it on the back of my cards. It’s available while supplies last so get it before it runs out!

Garden in Bloom cards

Grow a flower patch with stamps, ink, and paper. Add encouraging sentiments. Then share with the people in your life.
Use just the outline stamp or the solid stamp, or use them both together for more creative combinations.

Take a look at page 119 of the Catalogue.

If this is something that you would like to replicate, contact me or place an order online for the stamp set and any of the other products you will need to complete these cards. Below is a list of some of the products you will need.

Don't forget the Texture Boutique Machine

We all love our Big Shot, BUT, I also love this little machine.

Why? Because my husband says I can take it camping as it doesn't take up too much room and is very light. I organise all my card making around this little beauty when we go on holidays. I love cards that have an embossed background, it makes them look so classy.

This machine is retiring and has been reduced greatly in price, so if you want it, grab it now before it is gone.

All-Season Season of Cheer

At first glance, our Season of Cheer Designer Series Paper, from the 2015 holiday catalogue, may seem decisively Christmas. But if you take another look, there’s so much more you can do!

Check out these three non-Christmas cards, all using the Season of Cheer Designer Series Paper. I especially love the Birthday Card, it is so bright and cheerful and would suit either male or female.
