2017 Stampin’ Up! Holiday Catalog

Hi Friends,

The day we've been waiting for has arrived! Today is the day that we can start ordering from the 2017 Holiday Catalog that you have been drooling over! I have been busy handing them out over the last month and sharing some adorable new creations using new products coming out.

2017 SU holiday catalog

You can now view the online digital PDF version too.  It's perfect for downloading to your iPad or iPhone for portable travel.  It's also great for being able to enlarge the image to see better (makes it a bit easier on the old eyes… LOL). 

Of course, if you prefer a printed copy and don't already have one, I'd be happy to make sure you get one.

3x3-cards

For today's project I'd like to share with you these adorable 3" x 3" note cards that fit into our new Mini Pizza boxes.  These little cards are made using Whisper White card stock followed by Gold Foil (or Silver Foil) cut out with the stitched shapes framelit dies, followed by a square of the new Year of Cheer DSP and then a smaller square of Whisper White card stock cut with a smaller stitched shape framelit die with a small sentiment stamped in the center.  Stampin' Up! has even included the option to purchase small envelopes to fit these 3" x 3" cards.  How fun is that?!?

Gold-pizza-box

The top of the Mini Pizza boxes is decorated with matching Gold Foil and Year of Cheer DSP cut using the Big Shot and the Layering Square Framelit dies.  This is topped with a new item – the Gold Foil Snowflakes.  A Gold Faceted Gem gives this a fishing touch!

Silver-pizza-box

Of course this also looks great in Silver with a Clear Faceted Gem.

These are just a few ideas from the great new products in this awesome new catalog!

2018-Incentive-Trip

And now the count is ON!
I have 30 days to earn the Alaska Cruise next year!
I THINK I can do it but only with YOUR HELP!

To re-cap:
1. Place a $150 product order between now and September 29th.
2. This order MUST be placed through me, not at my online store –this is MY sale and NOT Stampin' Up!s.
3. I am GIVING YOU FREE SHIPPING!!!
4. I AM GIVING YOU FREE SALES TAX!!!!
5. YOU WILL GET HOSTESS BENEFITS!!!
6. AND I AM GIVING YOU A $10.00 COUPON ( on a minimum $50 product order)TO BE USED ANYTIME BEFORE THE END OF THIS YEAR – December 31st.
7. This offer is good to ALL my friends no matter WHAT state you live in!

AND ONE LAST THING:
ALL who participate in this sale will have their names put in a hat.
I will have an independent person, ( probably one of my cute grandkids!) , draw THREE names.
We'll do this LIVE on my business FaceBook page
EACH of those people will receive a Stampin' Up! Gift Basket worth $100 in PRODUCT!!!

I am hoping you can help me out and in turn, YOU will reap the benefits of my amazing offer!
If you have any questions, please contact me ASAP!

Ok friends–please know that I am in a state of constant gratefulness to each one of you!
It is because of YOU that I do what I do!

Barbara

 

Changes Are Coming

Hi friends!

You many have noticed that my blog has been lacking as of late.  Well, changes are coming!  My blog and social media and undergoing a tune up.

I wanted to be sure and let you know about the new Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog that was released to the demos today.  (By being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator, we are able to shop the new catalog a whole month before the general public.  Ask me how you can get in on this cool deal!)  While I will be back on September 1st to publish the digital version to those of who are not on my mailing list for a paper catalog (ask me how to get on my list for that, too!)

Shareable-1_Carols_Xmas_Demo_Jul2017_ENG

As a teaser, Stampin' Up! has released one of the bundles on an early release.  So, if you are anxious to get started on making some quick and easy Christmas cards (that could also be stepped up), you want to take a look a the Carols of Christmas stamp set and coordinating framelits that can be ordered TODAY!

 

Be sure to check back to my blog soon to see the improvements…

Hugs,
Barbara

A quick card using the Floral Affection Embossing Folder

Hi friends!

 

I'm having a great time with my 13 yr old grandson.

He is my Director/Producer/Editor and Videographer!

So here is a video that we just finished.

 

Love the card –easy and so adaptable for any occasion!

I used the new Sweet Sugarplum Card stock, Blooms & Bliss DSP and  the Floral Affection embossing folder

 

What do YOU think?

 

 

 

Stay tuned !

 

More fun to come!

 

hugs, Barbara

Monday Night Class and photos of pretty cards!

Hi all!

 

Ok here are the cards we made today.  We used the Number of Years stamp set and the Birthday Bouquet Designer Series paper.

 

What do YOU think?

2016-05-01 19.32.41

Note that the medallion does NOT have anything in it but everyone used the Big Shot to cut out numbers to put inside it. This is my card and as of this moment I don't know who will get it –hence no numbers!

2016-05-01 19.32.54

 

I just love this one –what do YOU think????

 

2016-05-01 19.33.07

 

This one and the next used the same format –simple and sweet.

2016-05-01 19.33.17

 

Everyone made 2 of each design AND then we made a cute pocket to hold them.

It ties on the side with the ribbon. A very nice Mother's Day or gift for someone sweet!

2016-05-01 19.33.31

 

Ok that's it!!

 

Now for tomorrow's class we 'll make these cards. This is the new stamp set commemorating the ONE MILLIONTH Paper Pumpkin kit !!

I absolutely love this card –the colors are Wisteria Wonder and Mint Macaron –love love love it!

2016-05-01 18.55.16

 

I'm sure I'll have another card for tomorrow  but right now I MUST go watch my dear Red Sox with my sweet husband — or at least until I fall asleep!

Hope to see you tomorrow night!

 

hugs to all and welcome the merry month of MAY!
