Hi all! Changes are coming to our rewards program on April 15th! Good changes overall:)
Currently, only orders at $150 or more earn rewards (freebies)
The new program rewards all orders starting at $20! Any order $20 or more earns 10% rewards that are tied to your email – you can save them up and spend them on whatever you like. (The rewards are good for a year and the program knows to use the oldest rewards first)
What to do before April 15th? Be sure you have a stampin’ up account with a login and password. I can help walk you thru it if you don’t have one. Yes, you can still call me and email me to order if you don’t want to order online – just like we do now:) Look for an email from me this coming week with details.
On to this week’s project!! What used to be called the ‘clearance rack’ is now called Last Chance Products. The best way to see it all is to view the online store because it will have retiring catalog items as well as the out-of-catalog online items that retire, too. You can find the Last Chance area HERE.
This week I used 4 bundles that have moved to the Last Chance category. The Bright Skies bundle is a good one and I love the patterned clouds!

The stamp set is available alone or as a bundle with the dies on March 4th.

The Petunia Pink and Fresh Freesia card on left could be for a nurse or someone who wears scrubs. The “Zipper Club” card for those who have had open heart surgery:)
A little old school technique, Faux Suede, for the pockets and trim!
The two ideas below are from the SU home office:

Hi all! I had a request this week to show the new Thank You Kindley Kit. It’s VERY hard to see what it is online….white on white but lots of texture!
Every few months SU comes out with new kits. This one was interesting to me for all the ways I could add color.
The white is elegant, nothing wrong with keeping them as is.
See all the new Kits HERE
Here is my video! A bit longer than usual but I kept creating….

Hi all! We had a snow day today here in Western NC, which is a bit of a rarity!
Only 2-3 inches but it was lovely. This week is part two of the Storybook Friends Bundle ( and the whole suite is called Storybook Moments).
I’ll jump right to the video!

A squirrel that sweeps and a badger that knits… only in Storybook land!
I shortened the frame to fit the greeting in their ‘living room’
I was playing around with a faux step card and created this fun fold. It still stands up on it’s own but adds a little interest with the way it opens.
Yes! More arch dies because I do love them:)
This one just cut out the adorable bunny from the designer paper.
Ask my neighbor about chipmunks and he will tell a long story about them getting into his attic, chewing wires, the process of getting them out, and hoping to never see another one again. Ask me and I think they are adorable:)
LOTS of new products arrived this week! Pop over HERE to see them all!

We are almost back to normal around our little NC town, roads opening up and grocery stores getting stock in. We still have to boil our water but so many still don’t have power so we are grateful that we do.
Remember I used the Book Treat Boxes a few weeks ago? I was waiting for the Sophisticated Sled bundle to come back so I could post this one! It was so relaxing to put together this little shadowbox winter scene!
Here is my video – it’s a little longer this week because it’s a more involved project but so worth making one:

I highly recommend these little boxes – so much fun!
They come in a pack of 10 boxes for $10 #164048

OCTOBER SPECIALS
Stampin’ Up Kits are on sale for 30% during October! See them all here
During October, the SU starter kit has an EXTRA $30 added to it! So you can choose $155 in products of your choice, free shipping and still pay only $99. October is the beginning of a quarter and there is no minimum sales required for your first quarter. So you have Oct – March to place $300 (you don’t have to do it all at once) to stay active. If you decide not to order after that, they will just drop you. It’s pretty easy! You can do it just for the discount. I’ll show you how to place your own orders and as a demo, you can enjoy a discount and also preorder new products early. You can sign up here or email me for more info to join my team.

I love an ‘old school’ fun fold but with new papers!
This fold takes a little bit more cardstock but so versatile.
I used 3 new designer papers and accessories in 3 different orientations:

When SU acquired Close to My Heart, a wonderful new world of products and kits arrived!
Even if you don’t scrapbook the traditional way, you may want to check out the 2-Toned 12×12 Cardstock or some of the Kits (see a video here). I’ll order the cardstock, which is a bit lighter in weight and has a white core (remember Cor’dinations? Maybe it is like that)
This new brochure will be available for ordering on September 4th also!

The new Stampin’ Up Sept-Dec Mini catalog begins Sept 4th!

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.

Sketched Plaid Cling (rubber) stamp set $20 #161424
Mad about plaid? Not just for flannel shirts or country tablecloths. It’s great for card making, too!
I do like this hand-drawn, big plaid background stamp.
It’s easy to just stamp it and keep it simple. OR you can add some extra colors to create a whole different look!
Watch my video below to see these 4 backgrounds using the Sketched Plaid background stamp!

Hi all! Another project from our annual catalog preorder for demonstrators – it’s called Circle Sayings and is bundled with a 2-3/8″ circle punch. It’s great to have a big circle punch again!
If you like shaker cards, this is an easy layout and be sure to try my trick using 2 window sheets instead of one:

On the inside I created a pull out tag and a gift card pocket:
I’m loving the versatility of the 6×6 designer paper called Bright & Beautiful.
Loads of bold colors!
Same paper, same stamp set and yet different feels….
Speaking of paper, Yes! I will be doing paper shares!
I’ll get those posted here tomorrow
