New Annual Catalogue

If you have not heard the new Annual catalogue went live May 4 for everyone. If you haven't got a new Annual catalogue make sure to contact me and I will get one into your hands. There are many lovely new items in the new Annual catalogue. Betty, Tammy and I presented three new suite collections this past Saturday.

On Saturday, I participated in our first collaborative Annual catalogue launch with two of my USA Demonstrator friends. Betty from Massachesetts and Tammy from Texas. We came together to present three new suites and we feel it went very well. We had so more people attend that we expected and are very appreciative of the participation, since it went longer than planned. We hope for those who attend enjoyed it. This is the next best thing to actually having an in person event. Tammy and Betty both created lovely samples and you will see them below.  Enjoy the pictures.

Here are the samples we presented on Saturday from the Pansy Petals (pg. 28), Hand-Penned (pg. 104) and Beauty of the Earth (pg. 10) suite collections.

April Newsletter : New Catalogue Annoucment : Last Chance : Paper Pumpkin : Upcoming Events

 First I am sorry I missed sending out a newsletter for March, the month got away from me but I am back on track now.

 

2021 is the year Stampin’UP! is releasing their Annual catalogue a month earlier than in pervious years. You can expect your new 2021-2022 Annual catalogue in May. Who doesn’t love cracking opening their new catalogue and pouring over it with a cup of tea or coffee? I received my copy earlier this week and sat down with it as soon as I got home. The cover captured my imagination straight away. As I flipped over each page my mind started swirling around with wonderful ideas of what I could create with many of the new products in this catalogue but this catalogue will also remind us of stamps we already have too. The catalogue will provide us with new samples to get our creative juices flowing when using what we already have. 

 

After looking through the upcoming catalogue I know everyone will fall in love with aspects of it or possibly all of it – I hate to say it but likely all of it. I cannot wait to share in your delight when you see it. If you are excited now about getting your own 2021-2022 Annual catalogue, contact me to reserve your copy before end of April. If you are a Stamp Club member your Annual catalogue is already on its way.

 

I will be hosting a virtual Annual catalogue launch event in mid May, I hope you will be to join me.

CREATIVE INSPIRATIONS

A few favourite cards I made in March.

• The first two pictures were made with the really pretty Prized Peony bundle for a friend who recently got engaged. I water coloured the flower and used the Gilded Leafing to add some glint to the card.

• The Happy Birthday cards was for March's Stamp Club class.  We used the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set and Ice Cream Corner Designer Series Paper. The ice creams on the cards were cut-out from the very sweet Designer Series Paper.

• The last card was created using the Friends are Like Seashell bundle. This is an amazing bundle and suite because the 3D Seashells Embossing folder and the dies line up and help create 3D images. I painted the seashells with the Frost White Shimmer paints and using water colour paper painted the back drop in three different blues.

 

  

February's Newsletter

When we think of February our first thought is, “Can’t believe it’s February already!” and then we think of Valentine’s Day.  We do not make as many Valentines Day cards as Christmas cards but they are still so fun to make with hearts with red and pink and purple hearts and mushy sentiments.  Valentine’s Day should not be limited to just our “one love”.  I believe love should be shared. So, my hope is that you have several if not lots of people dear to your heart that you can send a Valentine card to and let them know you are thinking of them.  

Last Month of the 1st Sale-A-Bration

February is still a Sale-A-Bration month and also the last for the first of two Sale-A-Brations this year. There is still time to earn a few of your favorite Sale-A-Braiton items. I am hoping everyone able to find time be creative whether by paper crafting or cooking or baking.  

New Coordinating Stamps & Dies

This month you might find extra time to be creative when you see what Stampin’UP! has released. They have created dies that coordinate with the popular Sale-A-Bration stamp set from 2017, Hey Chick.  Do you remember it? Do you have it?  Well, if you do or don’t you will likely want these and to complete your chick set, Stampin’UP! has also designed a new stamp set called Hey Birthday Chick that happens to also have coordinating dies.  Check them out below.  These will be available from February 2 to June 30, 2021.

Hey Chick ($23.00 #158190) and Hey Chick Dies ($44.00 #158199)

Bundle $59.00 #158627

Hey Birthday Chick ($29.00 #154464) and Hey Birthday Chick Dies ($37.00 #158200)

Bundle $59.25 #158631

*New* Product Class

This month I am holding the first product class on February 11. In this class everyone will be using the beautiful Art Gallery Bundle- it will be wonderful to be able to share in the excitement of using the same stamp set. There are 5 designs and the kit includes enough materials to create two of each design for a total of 10 cards.  I am excited to get together next week. Thank you to those who have signed up.

January 2021 Newsletter

Happy New Year!

Hello 2021

Hello my friends.

Hello 2021 Mini January - June Catalogue

Hello 2021 January - February Sale-A-Bration

I am looking forward to starting a new year in 2021 and knowing this year will be better than 2020.  I hope most of you have already enjoyed flipping through the 2021 Mini January - June Catalogue.  If you have not received your catalogue please contact me and I will ensure to have one in your hands swiftly. 

Mini Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine Available

Many of you have been waiting patiently and I appreciate it.  Beginning January 5th, the highly anticipated Mini Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine will be available for purchase. I recently got mine in early December and I love it. It's been great to be able to pull out this mini machine when cutting small dies.  If you get it, you will love it.  Also, this item even purchased on its own will qualify for Sale-A-Bration also starting January 5th.

New: Two Sale-A-Brations in 2021

1st: January - Febraury

2nd: June - July

The reason for two separate Sale-A-Bration is because Stampin'UP! is hoping to alleviate unavailable products as we have experienced in the past.  I think this is exciting and I hope you are excited as well.  Your Sale-A-Bration catalogue should be on it's way to you soon and it will also be available online starting January 5, 2021.  Contact me if you haven't received your catalogue by January 8th.
