With the NEW Stampin’ Up Holiday catalog less than 3 weeks away, it’s time to offer my shares!
Many of you have been participating in my shares for over a decade and I thank you!
It’s a fun way to try it all out, getting a little bit of everything for samples or to play with.

What are Product Shares?
A ‘share’ is sharing all the new Stampin’ Up products with others that order also. For example, for my Paper Share, I will cut all the new designer papers into 6×6 pieces and I split it with 8 people. So you end up with a sample of the new designer papers in the new catalog to play with or use as samples! Anyone can join in the fun, customers and demonstrators welcome
(demos on my team get a team discount)
You can choose from Designer papers, ribbons, accessories or get them all.
To order, EMAIL ME at Linda@stampingschool.com
(don’t just hit reply to my blog email, it doesn’t always make it to me – please check the address before sending)
I’ll always reply back same day with a confirmation so if you don’t hear from me, be sure to send again to my email.
Shipping the shares to you is free as my gift to you for ordering with me!
I earn freebies for the large orders so it’s my way of giving back to you.
Be sure to RSVP by September 5th! The catalog goes LIVE on Sept 6th when Ill place the orders.
I’ll send invoices beginning August 31st.

Hi all!
I’ve got an easy layout this week!
Not necessarily a new technique to use 1/4″ strips to add a little extra somethin’ without heavy layers.

VIEW/PRINT RECIPE PDF WITH MEASUREMENTS HERE
This layout uses a thick white card base and strips plus adding the designer paper pieces so the card is lightweight!
I used Playing in the Rain bundle along with the Bright & Beautiful 6×6 paper
For this landscape version, I used the Fresh As a Daisy paper along with Sending Smiles.

Hi all!

And it has 3 panels:)

I do love a fun fold and this one is more practical than fun….
The main purpose is to stand up nice & sturdy!
It should look pretty from both sides, too.

Gift card holder on the back side is a nice little surprise

I love a little pull-out tag with a hidden message under it.
For this card I used the Welcome Home stamp set.
The dies are not available anymore but the stamp set still is!


I used the Les Shoppes 12×12 Designer paper for this card
A pullout gift card on the back of the tent card.

Hi all!
This week went haywire for me and I didn’t get my video done. It was a perfect storm of migraines, feral kittens rescue efforts and an extra houseguest.
Life happens!

I did create one card using Layering Leaves. Such a pretty stamp set!


AND it coordinates with the Bough punch if you already have that!
I used a Lost Lagoon card base. Then I added 1″ strips from the Inked Botanicals 6″ x 6″ designer paper. The top and bottom strips are straight, the rest are offset just a bit. The leaves are stamped on calypso coral and lost lagoon cardstock with same inks and punched.
I used the idea below as my inspiration. It’s from the 2018 Stampin’ Up mini catalog. I keep those old catalogs to get a layout idea when I’m stuck!

Oh and Remember it is still $5 coupon month in July!
So spending $50 and SU will email you a $5 coupon to use in August.
Doesn’t sound like much but every bit helps!
Thx for stopping by!
