Top 5

I haven't put together a top 5 list in quite awhile.

Using this most gorgeous paper (you'll see more of it very soon) I needed to make it the 'top of the list'!



My Top 5 Must-Haves for Card Making!

1.Meandering Meadows 6" X 6" (15.2 X 15.2 Cm) Designer Series Paper
162735s This is the most gorgeous paper! Use #loveitchopit to make 48 beautiful cards. They come together in almost no-time.
2.Wanted To Say Dies
161594s These are stand-alone dies and are SO useful! Use any color paper to create customizable greetings for your cards.
3.Quatrefoil Tile Embossing Folder
158655s Use this folder for an edge on a card, or to emboss the entire background on the front of a card.
4.Layered Florals 3 D Embossing Folder
162935s This folder also makes amazing backgrounds for cards or use it for different techniques: blackout, the edge of a card, watercoloring - so many ideas!
5.Mini Alphabet Dies
162934s These small letters are perfect for adding a name. Emboss the letters and add ink for even more interest! Cut the color letter, then cut in black cardstock for a shadow to make your letters stand out!

A First Top-5 for the New 2022-2023 Catalog

My FIRST Top 5 for the 2022-2023 Stampin' Up! Catalog

1.Hues Of Happiness Suite Collection (English)
158828s The colors! The flowers! The gorgeous paper! This is the suite I featured in our Catalog Launch event. The greetings are beautiful, the paper is breathtaking, and even the glossy dots are something special!
2.Charming Sentiments Bundle (English)
158734s Aren't we always on the look-out for great sentiments for the cards we make? This bundle is perfect! So many different greetings - so many different fonts, AND die cuts for each! **Contact me and I'll tell you a trick for matching the dies with the greetings!  This is a million-dollar demonstrator set.
 
3.Go To Greetings Cling Stamp Set (English)
158763s No dies here - but I believe they aren't needed. This is another million-dollar demonstrator stamp set, and it's brilliant! Just four greetings but in three different fonts. Frilly? Pretty cursive? Small and pretty? This is a great set for all different purposes. I really love it.
4.Waterfall Canyon Photopolymer Stamp Set
158927s I love mountains and waterfalls. We travel the country looking at mountains and waterfalls. The second I saw this stamp set, I knew it would be a fast favorite. It has lots of great elements and it's reversible to give lots of dimension to your creations!
5.Artistically Inked Cling Stamp Set
154542s Do you love the alcohol ink look? This stamp set is perfect for it! I've made many different cards with this set. It's so versatile! What do you need? Birthday? Thank you? Sympathy? Choose your ink-colors and GO!!

New 2022-2024 In-Colors with RGB/HEX codes!

Good morning!

The catalog has been live for about a month, and I just had the time this morning to get the new HEX/RGB codes updated for the new In-Colors; Sweet Sorbet, Parakeet Party, Tahitian Tide, Starry Sky, and Orchid Oasis.

Though I'm not fond of green, this very bright green gives some balance to the other four colors.

You can click to enlarge the document.  Click HERE to get a clean copy. 

I use these codes in SO many different ways.  I add color to my email signature and quote.  I add color to my documents for stamp events.  What's your favorite?  Use it when you write documents as your text color! (I wouldn't recommend yellow.) 

Below you'll find links to all different in-color products!

Enjoy!

All Together Bundle Available today!

Today, Stampin' Up! is releasing a set that reminds me so much of the Coca~Cola commercial from the 70's "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing".  It's called All Together.

The most exciting thing is that in this bundle there are TEN, yes, ten new Stampin' Blends colors with red or yellow undertones to work with all different skin tones.  The blends are not paired, for example, like Light Flirty Flamingo and Dark Flirty Flamingo.  They are paired in 5 sets, each with a different color from light to very deep skin tones.

Click on the picture to get a full sized view of the products.  

Contact me starting today if you MUST have them!

Stamp Your Heart Out - Valentine Event

St. Valentine's Day is upon us again, and I have a "new" technique!  For our event, I'm presenting a card technique and a treat box.  

First, this is called a Stack and Shuffle card.  I'll have a link to a document that explains the technique.  I also learned about it very recently on Pinterest. 

I used coordinating cardstock and just played with the patterns.  On a few, I liked the pattern on the reverse and used it!

Here is the link to the directions.

This is the treat box I'm presenting.  It's exactly the same size as the original Conversation Hearts boxes we had as kids.  (That's what I'm stuffing these with!)

I used the same DSP to cover it, and cut-off scraps to cover the edges along with a little ribbon and some stamped hearts.  Fun, easy, and a very thoughtful trinket for a coworker or class of kids.  You can add a To/From on the back written in a die-cut heart!
