I can post the Stampin’ Up Holiday Catalog in it’s entirety and you can order your holiday goodies! I would suggest getting orders in to me quickly. Stampin’ Up has been working on processes to prevent back orders but I’m a little skittish and would rather get ’em in before the rush! I’ve already been getting calls and emails today with pre-orders so it’s not too early if you are ready to shop.
If you didn’t receive your Holiday Catalog in the mail from me and were expecting one, please email me. If you need one and do not have a demonstrator already, email me here and I will mail you a copy.
One of my top picks for the Holiday catalog is the Hearth & Home Framelits
And look at the adorable photopolymer stamp set you must have to go with it!
I thought I’d use it for something other than a wintery window so I decided to make an interior kitchen window with an herb garden.
I love how it turned out! I was chatting on the phone one evening with my bestie, Jan, and somehow it evolved into this. I guess I do my best stamping with friends:)
I stamped and cut out a little watering can from the set for the inside:
Here is a video showing how to create the project with punch art herbs:

Much to do before the catalog goes online tomorrow so I better get on it!
Remember a few days ago I told you about the 4 new Sale-a-bration freebies that Stampin’ Up is adding for March?
I did a quick show & tell video so you can see those ‘in person’.
Pardon the HUGE bruise on my hand, I tried to cover it up but it’s determined to make an appearance. I have small veins apparently and had some IV issues during a recent eye surgery (yes, I’m seeing better!)
The new printed vellum is really pretty, isn’t it?
Whether you color it with markers or dry emboss it or just leave it on its own, it’s my favorite SAB item this year.
If you’d like a recipe sheet with measurements for these 2 cards, Click HERE

This month’s fabulous photopolymer stamp set release, Gentle Peace, was created by Stampin’ Up’s lead illustrator, Kathy Pitt. The set was designed to work with Blendabilities to create the effect of brightly-colored stained glass. Can’t wait to get your hands on it? The stamp set will be available on October 14,but you can click here now to see the flyer to see true size.
This is going to be a hit, I can tell already! Set of 4 photopolymer stamps, $15.95 #139523
Imagine it embossed on vellum! Or embossed in silver or gold…..

Tomorrow I have a video for you using the Watercolor Winter Card Kit! I was going to post today but that would be a very LONG post so I’ll save it for tomorrow.
On page 5 of the Stampin’ Up Holiday catalog, there is a new toy called the Gift Box Punch Board. SU partnered again with We R Memory Keepers to bring on another paper crafting must-have to create fun boxes in 15 sizes. The largest is a 4″ x 4″ x 4″ box made with a 12×12 sheet of card stock. The smallest is 1-3/4″ x 1-3/4″ x 1-3/4″ made from a 6×6 piece card stock. I’m still experimenting with what else it can do!
Those of you that have ordered from me this past year should be getting yours in the mail any day now. I hear reports that some arrived yesterday! If you are new here and would like one, just email me with your name and address. (if you are a demonstrator or have a demonstrator already, please ask them for one)
The Holiday Catalog goes LIVE on August 28th! I can’t post a link here to the online version until the 28th but I know you are going to be delighted with all the new stamps and accessories! I’ve already spent over my budget for the preorders….
I made a video for those who are new to the Gift Box Punch Board:
If you are viewing this from your email, you may need to come to blog HERE to view video!
I know this will be a fun new tool to play with and I hope to find some other fun uses for it, too!

Stampin’ Up said there were new items on the Clearance Rack so I went to see what must-haves were there.
Remember these from last year’s holiday catty? I LOVE these little Old Olive bows on a clip!
on clearance 12 for only 2.39! #132148
Then I saw these and couldn’t believe they were $10 off! They were 24.95 and then they retired. Here they are for only 14.99!
Set of 3 Thinlits to cut our Merry, Thankful and Love . #132171
For more Clearance rack and other things on sale, be sure to check out the SU online store HERE.
I know some might say “oh, of course Linda has to say that, she’s a demonstrator, she’s supposed to say that!” but seriously, my friends that have seen it and my team, all say the same thing. THIS is a good one.
I think they should be arriving to customers by the 3rd week in August and it goes LIVE on August 28th! Plenty of time to start thinking about Halloween, Thanksgiving and Winter/Christmas – all things in the Holiday catty.
As demonstrators, we get to order early to play with the new products and take for a test drive.
I played a bit with the new Gift Card thinlit set and the Nordic designer paper and made a video for you:
If you want the recipe and cutting measurements, I have it stored on my Stamping School free video page. Once you are there, click the video and the PDF links are right under the video frame.
This is a stamp set that makes me smile when I use it!
I had some time in December to play with these critters and this is one of the cards that happened. I tried watercolor, other mediums but I just wasn’t getting the pop I wanted until I tried paper piecing it. I know it’s a lot of fussy cutting but once you get into it, it’s kinda fun!
Here’s all the critters in the set and you can find them on page 21 of the new Stampin’ Up Occasions catalog:
Set of 7
Clear Mount 133851 15.95
Wood Mount 133848 20.95
You can email me if you want some forest friends of your own or order online here.
I’ve had quite a few of you purchase one or both of these Stampin’ Up flip card Dies so I thought I’m make a tip video for how to add layers as well as extend the card to create a flap and writing area. (I’m not sure who came up with that original idea to add the flap but well done!)
If you are viewing from your email, click HERE to see video on my blog.
I received many great swaps using the new thinlits and as promised in the video, here are a few of my favorites!
This cute little guy was a swap created by Jill Hilliard. The reindeer is from the SU Holiday catalog called Color Me Christmas
This pretty snowflake card was created by April Lopez. The scallop comes with the circle card thinlits and April used it with SU Silver Foil Sheets.
I wish there was a name written on the back, maybe Iina Lee? I think it had a cello envelope with her label on it, which is long gone!
I love getting a swap every year from Georgia Giguere, who puts her family photo inside! Use the Sizzix Circle framelits and the magnetic platform to make easy circles!
Everyone loves this cute owl punch card by Linda Gutierrez!
Sandy Hancock made this one and I love how she used the SU Stripes embossing folder on one side of the flip card.
Here is the extended version of the flip card I showed in the video. It’s by Sue Kempter-Miller.
If you don’t have the thinlits yet and would like one or both, here are the 2 options available so far:
Circle Card Item #133480 $32.95
Label Card Item # 133479 32.95
