Video: Double Z Fold with Retiring Scallop Contours Dies

Hi all!   This week I’m using a few of my favorite stamps and dies that are retiring soon,
along with a larger size fun fold that is easy!

Our new annual catalog comes out May 1st, which means the current 2 catalogs will be retiring soon!
Alert!  Card Stock prices are increasing $1.50 a pack in new catty! 
Check your inventory and place an order before the new catalog begins May 1st.

With the added products of the Online Exclusives, it’s getting tricky to just highlight the catalog like we used to.
Some of our catalog items will carry over in to the online store and be available but won’t be in printed catalog.
See what I mean?  Getting tricky!

So one of the best ways to see what is retiring is to use our online store and look at the RETIRING category to make sure you have all the items you wanted before they are gone.
You can scroll thru all those items HERE

If you like sortable Excel docs….Here they are!

These items below appear to be moving to the online store, not in a printed publication.  The most important ones being the big circle punch, Deckled Rectangles and Deckled Circles dies:


If you have any of these ink pads from the 2022-2024 In colors, check your ink refills and cardstock inventory since they are retiring and will sell out quickly.  Here are the ink refill item numbers and they are $5 each:

Houston Highlights

Hello stampers!

I’m sitting at the Houston airport, scrolling through 300 photos of a great time at the Stampin’ Up conference! I’m hoping this post formats correctly from my phone with all the photos.

9 of our amazing team of “Roadies” attended and it a super fun time! Getting a hard copy of the new annual catalog, seeing new products, seeing creative demonstrations, and seeing long time friends is a great vacation, too!

Pardon the lighting as I took this in the auditorium that day. It’s not our typical “stampy” cover….the intention of the photo is to create together and share card making with friends. I don’t stamp outside in a garden much but as long as the inside products are good, I can live with it:)

Great new bundles coming in the next Annual catalog! This one is a favorite of mine. My grandfather built planes and was a pilot so it will be first on my list.

Love the banner! we watched a fantastic demo by Marisa Alvarez. She created gorgeous samples!

(Theresa models the new in colors)

Seeing the new In Colors is always a perk of attending OnStage. These 5 new colors will be active for just 2 years, more like fashion colors. They are bringing back Pretty in Pink, so if you have been around SU a long time like me , you may still have it!

This was a quick stamp and scribble I did of the new colors at our make and take event. We will have Peach Pie, Summer Splash, (looks a little like coastal cabana to me), Shy Shamrock (possibly like cucumber crush?), and Petunia Pop (maybe a lighter Berry Burst or darker freesia?). Once I’m home I’ll compare the colors to those retired colors and report back. I especially like the 2 greens!

You might have noticed nthe 6th color, an extra neutral called Basic Beige. To me it looks like Sahara Sand and River Rock had a baby ink! I think it will be very useful. We are wondering if Very Vanilla

Speaking of inks , if you have any of these In Colors, they will be retiring soon. They were in the last 2 years. Be sure you email me soon if you need the reinkers or more cardstock.

Customers who have ordered from me on the past 6 months will automagically get the new catalog in the mail. If your address has changed, please let me know this week!

Swapping cards is one of the highlights of the week! Since I didn’t share of video this week, here are some of my favorites on the display board. If you you see your swap here, let me know and I’ll add your name to your swap!

Video: Wild Ferns

Hi all!  Today I created with the Wild Ferns bundle from the mini catalog.
It’s a delicate stamp/die bundle and if you like ferns, it’s fun to use.

Here is my video:

I googled and learned all about ferns, especially the Fiddlehead Fern, which are edible!
If you have tried them before, let me know how they are!

Video: Coffee, Zinnias & More!

It feels great to be back in the USA although Iceland will be one of my favorite trips I’ve experienced so far.  It was almost like being on another planet…the ice, mountains, hot springs, colorful skies, black beaches…all spectacular!  Coming back to ‘earth’ and stamping felt like home, too:)

Video: Hand Stitched Everyday Details Dies

Hi all! Before I start my stamping post, I won’t be back here til March 2nd.  I’m heading to Iceland tomorrow!  It has been on our bucket list for a while.  I will still have email but there is a 6 hour time difference so I may not answer back as quickly as usual!

I return home on March 1st so I’ll post all the new bundles and products coming out March 5th –
there are some great ones coming! 
If you have an extra 5 minutes to make a card, stitching the Everyday Details dies adds a nice, textured accent!
The holes are large enough to make it easy “sewing’ with a big needle.


I bought the Everyday Details bundle because I love layering shapes and now I like them even more.


Here is my video for this week:

One of them is the  Flowering  Zinnias Suite:

I used this sheet of designer paper from the Zinnias, which is so pretty and if you cut it into 4″ x 6″ pieces,
you can make 12 pretty cards (since there are 2 sheets of this pattern)

Video: Fireflies or Lightening Bugs?

Some call them lightening bugs and some call them fireflies…


Against the night sky, they are magical!  My inspiration for this week’s video using a bundle called Lighting the Way.    Thank you to Mary in Toronto for requesting it!
The tricky part was to leave a white glow around the fireflies….
