Maybe not the peep show you thought of at first:)
I created this little peep window box using the Share What you Love
Designer paper.  These peeps come 2 rows high, sort of an odd size
so I just cut the 12 x 12 paper in 1/2 at 6″ and then scored it 3-1/2, 4-1/2 and 10″.  then added a 2″ x 6″ piece of window sheet for the peeps.
Then I added a 3/4″ x 6″ strip along the bottom edge of window sheet so I could add the 3/4″ circles and brads for a closure. Easy!

The peeps just slide out the side or untie the string to open.

I really wanted to eat one but they are a present for our 5 yr old niece:)

I’m on my way to Charlotte this weekend for the Stampin’ Up On Stage convention for demonstrators!  We will get to see the upcoming Annual catalog early and play with new products.  Always a fun time!  You can follow me on my Stamping School Facebook page for daily updates as we are allowed to share it all!

April 15th:    Annual Catalog and Occasions Catalog Retiring List
Stampin’ Up retires about 1/2 of the catalog to make room for new!

Stampin’ Up Trimmer is retiring 
From what I can gather, the manufacturer either can’t make them anymore for us or there are issues.  Either way, we will have a new cutter sometime this year.  If you bought the trimmer from me, email me to get some replacement blades while they are in stock.

New Annual Catalogs Mailed out in May!
If you have ordered from me in the last 6 months,
you will automatically get one from me!

If  your address has changed or you do not need one from me,
email me with your update.

If you are new here and would like to be on my customer list,
email me with your name and address.
(demonstrators, you will get a complimentary copy from SU)

That’s all for now!   Go stamp something!

Your space. Your way.
That’s the tagline for the new storage pieces by Stampin’ Up!
I think it’s a great they are offering something for home organization.  There’s a lot of options out there but I like that these are customized to our new ink pads.
Whether you own 5 ink pads or all of our colors,
you can customize the cubes to fit your workspace!

These are available today for demonstrators AND customers!
You will also see them in the upcoming annual catalog in June!

I ordered mine today so I’ll report back after I play with them. I love that they are white!  I have some storage trays for my blends that are black and show every speck of dust.

Here are the individual pieces available:

** I bought 2 of these to hold all of our blends!    Each pack holds 30 markers.

These 2 are lids that can go on top of the other pieces.
The topper holds stuff, the lid just covers.

Here is a cute stop-motion video from the home office:

Stampin’ Up also created a Configuration chart that may help figure out what you need for your space.  You can download/view it HERE

Get em early:)
Go stamp some butterflies !

PS – The CAKE PUNCH is back in stock also!

As I’m preparing for our 207-2019 In Colors to retire this year, I’m enjoying all the Tranquil Tide color I can!  I hope they bring this one back, it truly is the perfect blue green!

The 5 In colors going away are Tranquil Tide, Fresh Fig, Berry Burst, Powder Pink and Lemon Lime Twist.  They work together so nicely but that Tranquil Tide will be hard to replace for me.

The Retiring stamps/accessories list should be out around April 15th so be SURE to get those ink refills if you have the pads
BEFORE then as they tend to sell out quickly!
They are all 3.75 each.

Berry Burst ink refill #144089
Powder Pink ink refill #144090
Lemon Lime Twist ink refill #144092
Tranquil Tide ink refill #144091
Fresh Fig ink refill #144088

I’ll post the other retiring In Colors at the
bottom of this post along with a bundle deal for you!

I was making several of these cards using just those In Colors
together.  Adding the 6×6 In Color paper stack is easy coordination and makes quick and easy cards.  I used a flower set called All That You Are, in the Stampin’ Up Occasions catalog. I colored the flowers with our Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers.  Even though we don’t have those exact named colors in the alcohol markers, here is how I coordinated them:

This light pink was the hardest to match but once I blended them together, it was pretty good!  I love that our alcohol markers have the 2 shades so they are more than just their given name.

So back to the Retiring Colors…..
I have a bundle going while all these are still available.  If you own these 5 In Colors, you may need the ink refills and some of the coordinating accessories before they go.
They MAY go on sale for the retiring list, I’m not sure so I’m adding a bundle now of my staples to have:

2 Packs of the assorted 8-1/2 x 11 card stock assortment, one pack of buttons, the designer paper plus
all 5 ink refills, and your choice of color for one roll of the ruffled ribbon for $60!  (includes tax and shipping, a bundled savings of $10!)
Offer only through me – email me to request Linda’s In Color Bundle!
Offer available now  – April  5th!
If you order before March 31st, Sale a Bration freebies can still be earned!

The 8-1/2 x 11 In Colors card stock (also avail in 12×12)
$8.50  20 sheets, 4 each of the 5 colors.  #144247

The 6×6 In Color Designer papers   $11  40 6×6 sheets in all 5 colors.

These cute, flat buttons in all 5 colors!  $7 for 25 buttons #146931

Mini Ruffled Ribbons $8 each roll of 10 yards, 5 colors.

Here are some other add-ons available to order if you don’t have them already:
Retirning In Color Markers $15  #144043

2017-2019 Retiring In color ink pads  Set of 5 $33.75 #147152
or individually for 7.50 each.

Go Stamp Something pretty today!

Seems every week I hear about someone in the hospital, going through hard times with family, job problems, health issues.  Sometimes it seems like I make more of these kinds of cards than birthday cards.  What I love about card making is that creating them helps me DO something when it’s hard to know what to say or do.

I made 4 of these yesterday, using this simple, classic layout.  The mushrooms are cheery and make me smile so I hope it cheers up the recipient, too.

I used the Sale-a-Bration paper, Painted Seasons.   It has those cute mushrooms but also pretty flowers and another pattern that would work for fall/winter.   I used a 3″ x 4″ piece as my main image, layered on 3-1/4″ x 4-1/4″ Early Espresso.  I used Poppy Parade as the large layer, 4″ x 5-1/4″ and adhered to a Thick Whisper White standard size, 4-1/4″ x 11.

The Patterned 1″ strip is the other side of the mushroom print.

Free with a $50 order thru March (while supplies last)
#149574  12×12, 12 sheets – 4 designs 3 sheets each.

I did add a few little poppy butterflies from the Beauty Abounds dies.
It’s an easy layout you can adapt to any patterned paper.
