Make A Drapery Card AND It’s Closeout Time!

On By JanetIn Uncategorized

Hello Friends!

Today I’m going to show you how to make a Drapery Card Fancy Fold and showcase a new suite of products which will be available to order from the new January-June 2021 Mini Catalog.  From here on out, I’m going to refer to this catalog as the new “Spring Catalog”, as the other is quite a mouth full!  These catalogs should be mailing out to y’all on December 9, along with the Sale-A-Bration catalog (YAY!), so keep an eye out for them in your mailbox over the coming week!  If you’ve ordered from me in the last 6 months, you’ll get one automatically.  If you haven’t placed a recent order but would like to get your hands on these new catalogs, please just reach out to me via the contact tab above, and I’ll make sure you get one!

For those who are new, or don’t remember Sale-A-Bration, it’s a yearly event that Stampin’ Up has (though rumor has it there will be TWO Sale-A-Bration events in 2021!  Maybe to celebrate 2020 being OVER??? – I think we’re all ready for a fresh new year!)  At any rate, the Sale-A-Bration catalog contains exclusive items that you can get FREE only during the Sale-A-Bration period (Jan 5- Feb 28)!  There are items you can receive free with a $50 purchase, and items you can receive free with a $100 purchase.  Stamp sets and DSP (Designer Series Paper) that you can only get your hands on during Sale-A-Bration – these items are NOT available in any of the other catalogs!  So look forward to getting your new catalog and get ready to order so you don’t miss out on FREE!!!  Who doesn’t like free, right?

Another big announcement before we move onto the INKY business…

Stampin’ Up’s GIANT YEAR-END CLOSEOUT begins TODAY (Tuesday, 12/8/20) and runs through January 4!  Many retiring items from the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog (Holiday catalog) will be sharply discounted and on a first-come-first-served basis.  When they’re gone, they’re GONE FOR GOOD!  I’m adding the list of retiring items in PDF format below, so check it out and order quickly.  If you still have items on your wish list from the holiday catalog, now’s the time to get them ordered! If you need help doing so, I’d be happy to help – just reach out to me via the contact tab above!

Now, onto the INKY Stuff!

Art Gallery Drapery Fancy Fold

Today I put together a Drapery Fun Fold Card and featured several products included in the Fine Art Floral Suite from the new “spring” catalog.  The Fine Art Floral DSP is gorgeous in bright, bold colors.  And, the new embossing folder, Painted Texture 3D, creates the texture of old, plastered walls.  I can hardly wait for you to get your new catalogs so you can see all the gorgeous new “stuff”!  I’m going to be tempting you with cards made with this suite over the next few posts!

I created a template for you today of the “drapery” portion of this card, which you can download here, to assist you in making your own Drapery Fun Fold Card.  Or, if you have a Cricut (Explore or Maker), I’ve attached a cut file here.

I love the texture and dimension of this card, and I have no doubt the receiver will also.  Let’s face it…you can’t buy a card with this much craftiness and bling!  Speaking of bling, check out those Elegant Faceted Gems!  I’ve had them in my stash for a while now and not really given them the respect they deserve!  They’re gorgeous with so much sparkle!  They sort of remind me of sparkly peanut-butter cookies with the criss-cross design across the surface!

Don’t forget to showcase that beautiful DSP on your envelope flap!  Use the envelope flap to trace the shape for the outside, or use the Envelopes Dies to create an envelope liner…. OR DO BOTH like I did!

The Envelopes Dies are on sale now, marked down 40% as part of the Giant Year-End Closeout.  Normally $36, they’re now just $21.60!  The Ornamental Envelopes stamp set is not on sale, but if you want the “bundle”, it’s actually cheaper to buy the stamps and dies separately right now during the sale!  The “bundle” in the catalog is $47.50, but right now ordered separately (stamps & dies) they’re $38.60!  Just something to keep in mind!

Quite Curvy - Love Those Curves

Love The Curves – Quite Curvy Bundle That Is!

On By JanetIn Uncategorized6 Comments

Hello Friends!

I’m back today with another Quite Curvy card.  I do love the curves!  Did you know that YOU can now order this fantastic bundle?  As a demonstrator, I was able to pick this up before it went “public” and I’ve been experimenting with it for a little while now.  AND NOW YOU CAN ORDER THIS SUPER-DUPER SET, TOO!

I’ll admit that when I first saw this bundle of products, I was not overly excited about them.  I waited several days before I went ahead and ordered it.  But, Oh My!  I’m so glad that I did!  The Quite Curvy stamp set is extremely versatile with sentiments for birthday, thinking of you, love you, and even a simple hello.  And birds…they’re adorable!  Who doesn’t like birds, right?

As far as Curvy Christmas, what an easy way to make beautiful Christmas cards!  I combined the curves with poinsettias on my last post, but I’ll be bringing you MORE ideas using this exclusive stamp set, and the exclusive “Classic Christmas DSP” in the next few days!

However, today I needed a birthday card for the first man I ever loved… my dad!  His birthday is coming up in the next few days and I have to say, at age 84 (almost), he’s still looking good and could likely out walk, out work, and out think me!  I am blessed indeed to have a mom and dad as devoted to God and family as they are.

Another big announcement!   Starting today I get to attend the Stampin’ Up OnStage event which is held every year for demonstrators only.  It’s an event that spans three days and is held in multiple locations across the country.  Ours (for the western region) is generally in Portland, OR.  I attended last year for the first time and oh-my-goodness, such fun!  Unfortunately, this year because of “the virus”, it’s being held virtually and I’m “attending” with my sister and other team members from home.  Thanks to you all…I’m being recognized for achieving my sales goals this year!  So, a huge thank you to all of you who’ve placed orders with me over the past year!  I thoroughly enjoy being your Stampin’ Up demonstrator and look forward to continuing to serve you in this manner, hopefully giving you some creative inspiration along the way!

As part of the OnStage event, I get an early look at the new January-June, 2021 Mini Catalog (spring catalog) and even get to place an early order from it!  I’ll be giving little sneak peeks of new products as I’m allowed per Stampin’ Up guidelines over the next several weeks!  May I say (sing), “I’m so excited, and I just can’t hide it, I’m about to lose control and I think I like it!”

Okay, so that’s the Pointer Sisters and I’m aging myself here!  (Yes, I was an ’80’s teen!)  Stampin’ Up hires special music for these events and this year’s musical artist is ….. Pat Benatar!  So, hit me with your best shot, fire away!!!  Again, (heavy sigh) the concerts will be virtual, so not nearly as fun as in person, but I’m sooo looking forward to new ideas, networking with other demonstrators to learn how I can better serve you, my loyal customers and blog subscribers, during our OnStage event!  Fingers crossed that next year we’ll be back to “normal” and able to meet up in person!
