Hi all!
Just popping in for a few minutes to let you know the annual catalog will be posted here at 1 pm MT (3 pm eastern time)
I’ll be posting again today with the lists!
If it’s 1 pm MT, you can click HERE
to view the list online !
I’m in Arizona for a few days with my bestie Patsy Waggoner and we are waiting not-so-patiently for our demonstrator sneak peek of the new catalog today at 1 pm MT! It’s always sad to see some of my favorites retire but SO fun to see what’s new!

One easy layout and I think I made about 10 cards once I got on a roll!
The main layer with stamped images is 2-1/2″ x 4-1/4″ and is the same on all the cards.
I really love the bold and modern flowers in the paper and coordinating stamps!
Here is my video – I hope you give this layout a try!

I love the font Stampin’ Up used on this stamp set!
The 12×12 designer paper has been one of my favorites this year. I’m going to miss it when it retires in April but I know more designs are coming:)

It all started with this card from my friend and team member, Debbi Muche!
She sent this pretty pop up card to me and I was in love!
Debbi was inspired by a crafter’s youtube channel called Iced Images. Debbi tweaked it a little to make the columns and front of card all in one piece of paper. You can find Debbi’s Blog Post about it HERE
Then our friend and team member, Cindy Brumbaugh, created her own version using the Plentiful Plants!
You can find her video making this one HERE
I decided to make my versions larger, a 5×7 size. It is still under an ounce and even though larger, it is just one postage stamp to mail.
My first one got away from me, it turned into an hour long project where I kept adding and adding to it!
I wouldn’t want to make more than one of them, but it was fun! I used the new Waves of the Ocean designer paper:
The second one is much more simple and classic. I love how it turned out also! The little strip of window sheet/acetate helps the whale ‘float’ in the middle.
The Horizons 6×6 designer paper makes it SO easy to create a cool card:
Here is my video showing how to make it!

I really like the shadow box or telescope effect of the landscape paper!
I’m finalizing my mailing list for the new Annual catalog coming soon!
If you have ordered from me in the last 6 months, you will automagically receive one.
If your address has changed, please let me know!
If you are new here and would like one, email me at Linda@stampingschool.com
(if you are a demonstrator, SU will be sending those out to you soon)
Remember the Waves of the Ocean Designer paper, rhinestones and foils are While Supplies Last and will not be in new catalog but the Stamps/Dies will be! At the time of this post the papers were still in stock so if you want it, be sure to grab it soon.

Hi All!
I took the week off for our wedding anniversary (17 years! time sure flies) and sharing some cards I’ve received lately for inspiration! I’ll be back next week with my video.
This bridge card was created by Janet Munden using the Horizons bundle. Love the die cut fence!
This cutie was created by Jackie Walker using the Easter Friends stamp set.
She stamped in Basic Gray and colored in with the So Saffron and Daffodil blends for the soft, fuzzy look. I love how the stamp set already does the shading for us!
This set has been very popular, mostly because the images are so versatile from Get well, retirement, thinking of you, or just to a special friend. Debbi Muche created the pretty, 3 strip layout that works so well with it!
Tanner Smedley from the Stampin’ up home office sent me this card, which is another paper strip layout. I love the Daffodil card base and the pop of coral that would work for so many flowers!
Cindy Brumbaugh created this pretty card using the Simply Elegant Designer paper and the Elegantly Said punch bundle. I love the vanilla instead of white with the shiny gold!
My favorite thing about Janet’s card is the inside! The front is really nice (she added some Wink of Stella glitter pen to the rainbows) but the inside with the rainbow and the sentiment that fits perfectly inside is what I love the most! “you make this world a better place”
Such a fun card made by Cindy Brumbaugh!
The paper is the Host gift from the annual catalog and the bundle is called Hats Off.
I love the stitching, love the colors and it’s just a happy card for all ages!
Thanks for stopping by and hope you find time to stamp this week!

Happy March! Sale-A-Bration is over but Stampin’ Up is giving us a nice sale for the month and some new products!
First, 20 percent off on 13 bundles and also on the mini Embossing/cutting machine:
This is the mini version of our stampin’ cut emboss machine and it’s on sale 20% off from Stampin’ Up during March. I have mixed thoughts on this little guy. I love having a mini version to travel with and also to keep next to me for the smaller dies and folders. But then I need to get up to use the big machine for the bigger dies and folders – I guess it good to get up and move when crafting anyway LOL It cuts and embossing great, you just have to know that know everything fits!
20% off Selected Mini Bundles
Stampin’ Up also has 13 stamp/dies bundles on sale that fit in the mini machine! So even if you don’t need the mini, look at these on sale to see if you want any. My new favorite, All Squared away is on sale too!
Today the WAVES OF THE OCEAN is available!
The stamps/dies will be in the upcoming annual catalog this summer but you can get them early this month.
The gorgeous Designer Paper, Foil paper and rhinestones will NOT be in the annual catalog, they are just available while supplies last. (so get those first)
You can get anything individually or the whole collection all at once. I LOVE the papers!
Just in case you missed my 2 videos using the collection, here are the Links:

(you can add all to cart and Edit once you get over there to delete what you don’t want)

This week I made a little flower cart for some tulips using the Flowering Rain Boots bundle. It’s on page 30 of the Stampin’ Up mini catalog. I had to really improvise on the wheel but it worked!
Here is the video:

You may have some flower pot and flower stamps in your craft room already! If you do, I hope you make a little flower cart, too!
This is what the whole bundle looks like, I love the little garden tool:) Stampin’ Up had a paper pumpkin kit a while back with rainboots that reminds me of this bundle.
By the way, 2 more days for FREEBIES with every $50 purchase! Sale a Bration will be over on Feb 28th!

Coming March 1st!
Today I’m posting 2 more ideas using the upcoming Waves of the Ocean collection, highlighting the fantastic papers.
(recipes with measurement links below the video)
The Stampin’ Up artist created some paint pouring samples and they were photographed to achieve the ethereal images.
The inside of the card could be the front of the card with that pretty paper.
Watch my video for how to make the ‘gull’
It’s an early release bundle that will be in the upcoming Stampin’ Up annual catalog this spring. Beginning March 1st, you can order the bundle, papers and rhinestones. The stamps/dies will be available in the annual catalog BUT the papers and rhinestones are while supplies last.

I haven’t seen dies like these before, pretty cool designs. The waves offset from each other to give great dimension.
On the inside, I added a bit of the Waves of the Ocean designer paper.
This paper is gorgeous!
I’ll be back next week with some more projects using this collection!

I ordered the cute, square dies way back in May last year and it’s my first time using them! Perfect for a happy little birthday card and using the free Sale-A-Bration designer paper, Sunshine & Rainbows.
At first glance in the Sale-A-Bration Freebie catalog, I thought I might not use this paper but I was wrong. It’s ALWAYS better in person!
And it’s free until the end of the month (while supplies last) with a $50 order:)
48 sheets, 6×6 size, 4 of each of the 12 designs
It was a nice surprise to have the cloud paper in the paper fit the cloud punch perfectly!
The little sentiments are from Pansy Patch, a set in the annual catalog.
I just added the sentiment in the cloud punch instead of using a whole sheet of white cardstock inside.
And like I always say, if you do a little heat embossing on their card, it means you love them a little more:)
If you love our Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers, you might need to add these to your collection.
5 new pairs of skin tones to mix,match and blend all types of images!
You can purchase the whole set of 10 for $45 #160940
or the 5 packs of 2 markers each for $9 See those HERE

That’s all for this week!
