Video: Gorgeous Garden Background Dies

GORGEOUS GARDEN DIES #161283 $42  Set of 2

I bought these new dies and finally getting some time to play with them!

I made 3 different cards and I love the versatility of these dies.
On the inside of the Just a Note card you can barely see the design I stamped using the die and ink pad but I like the subtleness of the pattern.  And you might not guess what designer paper I used for the colorful pattern!

.How did I miss that the Limited Edition stamp set retired? aargh! Love that stamp set with the Paper Hug sentiment…
You can substitute anything that fits in your banner.

Here is my video using the dies with a few tips…

Swaps to Share!

I’m a lucky stamper to be able to swap 10 cards each month with a group of demonstrators around the states.  I love getting my box each month to see what they created! Here are a few from this month.  (I love them all but have a full day ahead of me and have to limit today!)

Kimberly Allen is a master at the coloring with any medium and now here with the Blendies, just perfect!

20140909-093419.jpg

See how she used the light gray for shadows around the flowers?  Adds so much.  She used Corner Garden, which looks like nothing when you see it in black and white in the catty 🙂

I love this bird because it’s so realistic! This one was stamped by Carole Gilmore using the stamp set, An Open Heart:

I tried to use the SU Stencils to create a plaid using this set, but I don’t think it was too successful.

What do you think?

A new Photopolymer set called 25 Days popped up today!  #135041  $25.95. 

25 days photopolymer

 The description says “Make the holidays count by counting down the days with this creative photopolymer set. Perfect for stamping advent calendars, it’s sure to be a centerpiece of your season. Set quantity: 25.”  We needed a current one for people who want to make advents this year, so this is a nice addition!

The Weekly Deals really have some Deals this week! 

That 2″ punch is new this year and it fits nice and snug into the 2-3/8″ Scallop Circle punch!  So does the 1-3/4 but this is a bit larger and looks nice! And the glitter….we are heading into the holidays so glitter will be upon us soon….literally!

Last Day to get a few Holiday sets…

The stamp set is 21.95 (clear mount, #125537)   The flowers are larger, about 2-1/4″.

“Pin-spired” and a Cute New Stamp Set

New Catalog Update! 

I have officially mailed out the NEW 2014-2015 Stampin UP catalogs to all who have requested one here on the blog or otherwise.

  I mailed them all out on Monday, so if you have not received yours by today, please email me!  Over the years I’ve learned about 5% never make it.

Those of you I’m seeing this week, you will get yours in person.

“PIN-spired”

In the wee hours, if I find the Ipad on my nightstand, I might visit Pinterest.  If I’m feeling unorganized, there’s a million ways to solve any problem.  If I’m feeling plump that day,  I may look for healthy recipes.  If I’m feeling lonely, I look at boston terrier puppies….Pinterest is the fix for just about mood 🙂

Sometimes I look through the stamping and papercrafting, save a few for inspiration.

20140516-080336.jpg

Sadly, this one had no name or watermark on it, as it often happens on Pinterest.   I loved the color combo of Chocolate Chip, Cherry Cobbler and So Saffron.  We don’t have the eyelets or that stamp anymore, but I made my own version of it.

Here’s my “PIN-spired” version:

20140516-081710.jpg

I used the stamp set in the Occasions catalog called So Very Grateful, which will not be carrying over into the new catty so if you want it, get it before June 1st.

so very grateful

16.95 Clear Mount, # 133053

  Pansy Punch for the flower, Bird Builder punch for the leaves.  We have a super cool new DSP coming out in the new catty called Typeset – thin newsprinty paper that will be SO useful for lots of projects.

Thank you for the inspiration, wherever you are!

We have a new Photopolymer Stamp Set, Limited Availability which means while supplies last:

Super cute, I bought one.  Cake measures 1″ wide x 1-3/4″ tall to give you an idea of size or you can print the flyer HERE for true size.

Grab your highligher…Retiring Stamps List here!

retired golfer

Time for spring cleaning to make room for new stamps!

It’s sad to see some go, especially some of my favorite sets like Field Flowers and Woodgrain…but it just means new things are comin’!

This list means that it’s time for you to pull out a highlighter or post it notes, sit down with a cup of something good and highlight the things going away.  Print the Retiring list by page number to help you go page by page.  Keep a Post-It nearby to tag the possible sets you might want to get before they retire officially at the end of May.

Remember that this is the first year that stamps will be “while supplies last”.

The Retiring  promotion runs April 21st – June 4th    The new SU Annual Catalog starts June 2nd so we will have some overlap with just the retiring products.  That’s a great thing so you can compare the new catalog with the retiring list to be sure of what you need to purchase.

For the stampin’ accessories – those are the inks, papers, ribbons, designer papers, buttons, brads, etc….Some of those will be going and what doesn’t sell may end up on the clearance rack but we never really know for sure. Some of those are discounted already  – you will see those on the accessories list.

Retiring Lists – 2 ways to view

(if you see a FRA or ESP or DA, those are being retired in english as well as other languages)

free shipping box

For 5 days only, April 21-25th, everyone gets free shipping on ANY order! No minimum, No maximum.  ANY Retiring or current merchandise from any catalog or online promotion.

 

How To Place an Order with Me.  You can place orders 3 ways (in no particular order)

1.  You can type up your order and send me an email.  I’ll need to get a payment from you, whether a check or credit card (visa, MC, Discover or Amex) so if you aren’t comfortable emailing that, call me !  I can keep it on file if you like so next time can be easier for you.

2.  Call me!  I have a local Florida phone number 407-435-3135 and also a toll free number 1-866-460-4902 to give me an order by phone.   I can answer questions about the products or help you with a particular project, too!

3.  Order online 24/7 on my DBWS (Demonstrator Business Website).    You will get the best deal if you order directly from my website at www.lindaheller.stampinup.net.  There is an awesome clearance rack online if you like to shop for the deals!
