SAVE THE DATE STAMPERS!

Hello Stampin’ Friends!

Stampin’ Up is going to have some NEW Online-Exclusive Products available on November 7, 2023.

As a demonstrator, I’m able to get my hands on some of these products earlier than the general release and one of the new suites in particular, is absolutely gorgeous!  The PAPER!!!  You know me and my paper fetish… I fawned over this DSP for several minutes when it arrived via UPS!

I’m featuring the Meandering Meadows Suite today.  Don’t you agree that the paper in this suite is so very pretty?

I put together a couple of cards showcasing the products.  The dies in this set are also fun for creating scenes, or simply creating a window to peak through!

 

Here’s a very small glimpse of the NEW product offerings that will be available on November 7.

Just a heads up…

It would be best to visit my store as early as possible on November 7, as with the shortages Stampin’ Up has been experiencing, some of these products are sure to sell-out quickly and there may be a little bit of a wait until they’re back in stock again!  They’re working on this situation, doing more production in the good ol’ USA, (thank you!) but as you may have noticed in other areas of your shopping experiences, the supply chain is still very slow.

To get to my store, click on the “Shop Stampin’ Up” at the top of this page or click here.   Once you’re in my store, click on “Menu” and then on “Online Exclusives”.  THEN shop to your hearts content!  Don’t forget that Christmas is coming if you have any crafters in your circle!  So many fun products!  If you’re like me, you’ll want them all!

Rustic Crate For Fall-Themed Cards

Hello Stampin’ Friends!

I have a quick, fall-themed card today that was inspired by a card sketch by The Paper Players. 

I look forward to the fall season each year, in fact, one might say it’s my favorite season of the year.  Well, until spring rolls around.  As soon as the temperatures begin to warm, the birds begin to sing, the flowers start to pop up from the ground, I’ll be saying spring is my favorite season!  I guess I should just call it a draw between spring and fall!

At any rate, I saw this week’s sketch on The Paper Players (Challenge PP663) and thought I’d give it a go.  I highly recommend going over to their website to see not only my take on their sketch, but many other talented cardmakers as well!

Card sketches are oftentimes my saving grace.  A great place to start and let my imagination and creativity do the rest!  And, a contest… well, if you have a competitive nature at all, make up a card and join in the fun!

June Paper Pumpkin Alternatives

Hello Friends,

Today I sat down and made four alternatives using the contents of my “Box Of Sunshine” PP.  I love, love, love the hot colors used in this pretty yellow box.  I had so much fun with this kit!
