Let's get the parties started! Contact me today to schedule your summer party!
It's that time of year again...Graduation time! But I wanted to create a card that could be used for a variety of congratulatory reasons (like...for maybe even someone who joins my team?!). Summer Smooches Designer Series Paper seemed to fit the bill. As this DSP coordinates with so many colors, I chose to focus on Island Indigo and Delightful Daffodil.
Just three strips of the delightfulSummer Smooches DSP (125409) and this card came together pretty quickly. Add a banner from the Petal Cone Die (121810), stamped with congratulations (from Delightful Dozen 122650w or 122652c). Then finish off with a fun star, cut with the Big Shot (113439) and Stars #2 Die (113461, retiring). The silver brad is from the 5/16" Neutral Brads (112534, also retiring)
Be sure to stop by tomorrow to see just how easy it will be to Join Stampin' Up! YOUR WAY, for the new low price, $99! That's right...in just 5 easy steps, you'll be part of the Stampin' Up! family in no time at all!
Details If you're familiar with Stampin' Up!, you might be thinking...the Stampin' Up! Retired List is early this year. And you'd be right! That's because the NEW 2012/2013 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog will also be early this year too...June 1st.
To make room for all the fresh new stamps on their way, it's time to say goodbye to some of old our favorites. This is your chance to get them before they're gone. (Note: Be sure to stop back on April 25th for the Retired Accessories List)
When you view the retiring stamps list, you may notice it's longer than in years past. During this transition to the new annual catalog, there are a higher number of stamps being refreshed and replaced than usual. While many stamps are going away, most are being replaced so that the breadth of our stamp lines is every bit as broad as ever, making the NEW 2012/2013 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog as exciting as ever!!
Here's April's Stampin' Up! Special, a Sneak Peek called Summer Smooches. It will be available in the 2012-2013 Stampin' Up! Catalog will be released early this year on June 1st.
But you can get it early during the month of April!

Hmm...What's Summer Smooches? It's a new collection of products you'll be seeing in the brand NEW 2012/2013 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog - to be released early this year on JUNE 1st, 2012!!
However - You get a sneak peek look at this product line starting tomorrow, April 1st. With a super cute stamp set, Designer Series Paper, Brads, Fabric (my favorite!!!) and more, you're gonna love this new collection. PLUS - you don't have to wait for the new catalog, you can start playing with it NOW!!!
Here's a card I created for one of the make & takes at my DOstamperSTARS meeting this past Thursday, using the new Bright Blossoms Stamp Set and Summer Smooches Designer Series Paper! (Colors are Lucky Limeade and Rich Razzleberry, plus a little bling on the flowers with Basic Rhinestones!)
Be sure to stop by tomorrow for ALL of the glorious details!!
I don't know about you, but I totally overlooked the new Stampin' Up! Elegant Bird Die from the 2012 Occasions Mini Catalog(pg 10). I thought it seemed too big for a card and really, it just wasn't my style. Well - how wrong was I? I'm now totally in love with it. That's because I saw several ways to use the Elegant Bird Die on Shelli Gardner's Blog, CEO and Co-Founder of Stampin' Up! She totally won me over and I had to get it!
Not only is it a beautiful card, but oh so quick and easy to do! My kind of card. See below for the same card, just with the paper switched for the body and wing, plus the bird is facing towards the right now.
I can't decide which one I like the best. I think the bird facing right. What do you think?
If you haven't taken the Elegant Bird Die plunge yet, give it a try. I think you might like it!

There will also be a name change as well, to Stampin' Up! 2012-2013 Annual Catalog. Along with a few more changes such as the Definitely Decorative line will be discontinued and there will no longer be a Summer Mini Catalog. But don't worry, as there will still be a Holiday and Occasions Mini catalogs and they will be larger to offer you more seasonal products!!
Because of this change, Stampin' Up! just announced...
Starter Kit Substitution Item
March 20, 2012
The Definitely Decorative line will be discontinued with the 2012-2013 Annual Catalog. Because the Starter Kit currently includes the Always Bird Décor Elements, new demonstrators have the opportunity to select a substitute item (valued at $9.95 or less) that can be used to promote their new business beyond June.
When filling out the Independent Demonstrator Application--whether online or paper--new recruits can simply select any catalog item of $9.95 or less in place of the Always Bird Décor Elements.

If you've got 10 minutes, then you have time for today's 10 Minute Tuesday card & video. We'll be using Stampin' Up!'s new Occasion Mini Mixed Bunch stamp set and matching Blossom Punch. Plus add the perfect greeting with theSale-a-Bration stamp set, Outlined Occasions!
10 Minute Tuesday cards and videos are great for beginner and experienced stampers alike. On these videos I make a card from beginning to end. So if you're new to stamping - you'll benefit from them a lot! If you're an experienced stamper, you might learn tips here and there along the way or fun reminders of oldie but goodie techniques.
On today's video I share the following:
1. "Panel Card" dimensionals 2. Rock & Roll Stamping Technique 3. Transforming a flower into a butterfly 4. Marker tips
I heard from many of you when I shared my 100th video - thank you!! However, some of you didn't realize that I even did videos. Shame on me! I guess I haven't done a very good job of communicating and I'll have to work on that.
To that end, here are two options for viewing my videos if you receive my blog updates via email:
1. Unfortunately, the actually "video" itself doesn't come through via email. However, in the body of the email, I provide the link to view it on YouTube. Just click the Title of the video - (which you'll find next to the word VIDEO - just like below).
2. You can also view it on my blog. Just click the title of the Blog Post (within the email) and it will take you to my blog and you'll see the video there.
I hope that helps you enjoy future videos! Now on today's video below...
NEW FLASH...I don't know if Stampin' Up! designed it this way, but...the Modern Label punch fits inside the NEW Blossom punch! I was tickled pink to discover it and look at the wonderful Punch Art Flower it makes!
Discover just how easy it is to make this flower by watching my how-to video below. Oh - also, if you missed my tips on how-to punch center of this flower, be sure to check out my Blossom Bouquet Get Well Card video.
There's still time to book your Sale-a-Bration party (thru March 31st). Contact me to schedule your party today!
