Jul 11, 2016 | Big Shot, Stamper's Club |
Have you seen the new Stampin’ Up! Catalog? It’s been out now for just over a month. And it has SO many great new stamps, dies and accessories in it! My Wish List has been long and it has been rewritten many times and broken down into smaller pieces. I tend to be a list person so I make lots of lists for lots of different things. I know my club members also have lists of what they plan to order each month or maybe even one long list. In June for our Club meeting I created a project for them that I thought they would like. It’s a Wish List notepad.
It’s not that big – the notepad inside is plenty big to keep a list of each month. And I added a pocket where you could add a business card – like mine and keep track of purchases for the Frequent Stamper’s Credit. If you have one of my cards – take a peek at the back – you may have missed it. And right now with the Bonus Days going on you could keep a list of your codes in there too. Here is what the inside looks like.
Products that I used include: Labeler Alphabet Stamp set, Basic Black card stock, Playful Palette Designer Series Paper Stack, Gold Foil Sheets, Sweet & Sassy Framelits, Big Shot, Very Vanilla Card Stock, Basic Black Card Stock, Gold Thread, Tear & Tape, 1-3/4″ circle punch.
Don’t miss the Bonus Days going on in July – for every $50 you spend between July 7 and July 31 (before shipping and tax), you’ll get a $5 Bonus Days coupon that you can use August 2 – 21. It’s a great opportunity to shop from your wish list, whether you buy your favorite products now or later in August with your coupons! You need an email address to participate in this promotion. And it’s strongly recommended that you save both the email containing the Bonus Days coupon codes AND write down the coupon codes in a safe place. Lost codes can not be recovered and I won’t have access to them.
Thanks for visiting today!
Jun 30, 2016 | Cards, Shaker Card |
Something that is going to be really fun this year is making shaker cards. You know the ones that have a window and behind it there are sequins, or punched shapes that move around. Stampin’ Up! finally added Foam Adhesive Strips to our product line and they are PERFECT for shaker cards.
Here is one that I made in Red, White and Blue – just in time for the 4th of July holiday coming up here in the USA.
Dapper Denim, Real Red, Whisper White and a pinch of glittery silver make this a fun card.
I used the new Confetti Celebrations stamp set and the Sprinkles punch. I punched sprinkles out of the Denim, the Red and Silver Glimmer paper. I also used the new Thick Whisper White Baker’s Twine. It’s a fun shaker card for any patriotic or July celebration.
I’m going to cut out a silver 50 to add for a 50th birthday card that I need this month.
Let’s Celebrate!

I have started doing anything with Christmas yet. I know some people are. Question 7 on the scavenger hunt was about the Christmas section. I didn’t have anything to share with you yet – so I’m going to come back to that a bit later.
For now on to question 8 – The Affectionately Yours Suite includes a new “metal” accent – what is it? The answer is Copper.
There is brand new Embossing Powder and Metallic Thread both in Copper. You’ll also find copper in the Affectionately yours Specialty Designer Series paper. And in the Designer Washi tape. Are you ready for the copper trend?
I made this card using the suite but I didn’t actually use any of the copper. I did use the Love & Affection stamp set and the Designer Paper.
There is also some new Thick Bakers Twine that comes in the Cucumber Crush color that is in this suite. I didn’t want it so thick so I took and separated it into the three main strands and then used one of those on my card.
I used the Lots of Labels Framelits for my focal point. I cut two labels the same size and glued them together opposite of each other to make a fun new shape. I want to try that again on another card because I like how it turned out.
A quick card that was part of my Card Maker’s class this month. And I’ll have it available for next month too if you missed class in June be sure to catch it in July.
Thanks for visiting.

Throughout the catalog you will find Bundle & Save boxes that have a stamp set and coordinating tool available to purchase at a discount. There are a whole bunch of them in the catalog. Be sure to look for the box that says Bundle & Save. It will save you 10% off when you purchase the coordinating items as a bundle instead of purchasing them separately.
Question 6 on my scavenger hunt – asked which one was your favorite? Are you kidding – I don’t think I can pick just one. Perhaps I should have asked which ONES are your favorites. I mean really what was I thinking.
One of my favorites is the Ready to Pop Bundle! It’s a really adorable little popcorn box that you make using the Popcorn Box Thinlits Dies and it has the coordinating Ready to Pop Stamp set. I used these to make little treats for my New Catalog Kickoff Party earlier this month.
I used the Dapper Denim In-Color and paired it with the Kraft card stock and burlap ribbon – I filled it with popcorn in our new cello bags. These are so cute and they are pretty small – not so big that you need a ton of candy or filler. So it makes a perfect size for party favors. The boxes are easy to assemble and the thinlits dies has a lot of other pieces for decorating the box.
Some of my other bundle favorites include – Best Birds, Foxy Friends, Jar of Love, and Sunshine Sayings! I can’t wait to get busy playing with more of these.
I’m so glad you joined me today. Let me know which bundles you love.
Jun 27, 2016 | All Inclusive Kits, Cards |
Did you know that Stampin’ Up! has two All-Inclusive kits that are ready for all crafter’s with all the supplies, stamps and ink that you need. Just add scissors and adhesive and you are ready for fun! Question 5 on my scavenger hunt was What are the names of our two all-inclusive kits?
Oh Happy Day Card Kit – this is the new one – it’s bright and cheerful and makes 20 cards.
Watercolor Wishes – a carryover from the last catalog – it also makes 20 cards that are soft and soothing. And it has a really awesome stamp set.
These kits make great cards that you can send out to family and friends and then you have an the stamp sets, ink and extra pieces left to create other things with. I really love the stamp set from the Watercolor Wishes kit and I used it on this little note card along with some new products from the catalog.
Thanks for visiting me today. Leave me a comment and let me know what you think about the all-inclusive kits. I’ll be planning a class for the Oh Happy Day kit later this year.
