Demonstrators are welcome to participate in my shares!
They are great to have samples on hand at your classes.
(if you are on my team, I have special pricing for you)

Here’s how a share works: For the designer papers, for every 8 of you that sign up I’ll Order all the paper. I’ll cut it down to 6×6 size and sort into 8 piles. So each person gets a 6×6 sheet of each style rather than having to buy a whole pack of each.
For the rolls of ribbon that comes 10 yards, I’ll divide it between 5 people.
Same with accessories – I split those between 5 people.

I’ll keep track and order based on the number of participants.  Ordering for the new catalog begins May 4th.
I’ll sort and cut all the pieces for you. Then I package them up in my clear acetate boxes to keep them organized and mail them to you.
You should have your shares by the 3rd week in May pending backorders (I’ll keep you posted on those via email if it happens)

Don’t forget we still have a few weeks left for the retiring products!

Video: Four Happy Cards, One Easy Layout

Hi All!

Before I get to the post, I’ve been getting a number of emails asking me if I”m doing new annual catalog shares and YES!
I will be doing those as usual.  I’ll post those next week!

This week I decided to use the Pretty Perennials bundle.  I hadn’t used it yet and I just love the big HAPPY stamp!
***I gave the wrong retiring date in my video for this bundle, it’s good thru June 2021!**
With the annual catalog starting May 4th and the January-June still going on, I got a little turned around.

I created 4 different cards and same easy layout.
I love all the different personalities with one stamp set!

As I’m moving my videos from Stamping School over to YouTube, I’ve been re-creating some of the older projects.
This project video was from 2007!   Some of you who have been around SU for years may remember this stamp from back then:

It’s been fun going back to visit some of the oldies and reviving them.
I was inspired by a sample in the NEW Stampin’ Up Annual Catalog, which I got a peek at this week!
I think you guys are going to like it)

The new catalog begins May 4th!
Be looking out for your catalog mid April
(if you are new here and would like one, email me! Linda@stampingschool.com)

The sample is on page 28 and uses the new Pansy Petals suite!
I copied it pretty much exactly using the NEW In Colors.
The card base is Soft Succulent – such a pretty, soft earthy blue/green

From there, I got on a roll and created 3 of the note totes:

That’s all for me today!

Video: The Basics: How to Start making your own cards

I’ve met several brand new stampers lately and it’s so fun to see the excitement of making cards for the first time.
Just starting out there are so many questions like how do I cut the cards? Where do I start?
There’s so many options to choose and it can be overwhelming.

So today I’m doing a quick refresher on how to cut, score and stamp a pretty card!

Many of you are already seasoned stampers but if you know someone who is
just starting out making their own cards, share it!
