Before we get to today’s post…I am sorry that yesterday’s post did not go off and get delivered to you! John and I left very early yesterday to leave on vacation with another “peep”…. Will – my son that lives in Boston!
Busy but fun and rewarding past couple of days! We had a GREAT time with Hannah on Saturday and she was so touched by many of your comments – many thanks!
We are going to Cape Cod (we have never been there and I am so excited for many reasons – relaxing with Will…bike riding…stamping…reading books…and lobster rolls!!! YUM)
I had ALL OF MY POSTS done for the week…a HUGE accomplishment for me (and you are going to really like them) but I forgot to “hit the schedule” button for yesterdays post!
So the moral of the story is …no Make it Mine Monday this week…today is a super cute holiday card that I will send to you if you take advantage of any products for the Paper and Ribbon share that I am offering!
I know that everyone loves these shares and it truly is the BEST way to get our products…I always took advantage of shares before I became such a Stampin’ Up! addict!!!!
Let’s get to it! We know that the new catalog is unveiled on Thursday but I know that you all have been able to see sneak peeks here and there…but on Thursday… hang on to your coffee cup…it’s a fabulous catalog! Make sure you have some “me time"
I have decided to not only do the shares for the new catalog goodies, but again offer some from the annual catalog as Stampin’ Up! did a fabulous job with all of the new ribbon collections! I still get emails from people that want ribbon and paper so I thought – why not!
Why are these shares so great?
Easy = it allows you to get a sampling of new goodies without having to put a huge investment into buying the whole roll of ribbon or the whole pack of paper!
I get to do the ordering, the measuring & cutting, and then one of my favorite things to do – package it up for you neatly and organized for you to have a BIG SMILE on your face when you see your goodies plus the card I made for you/
I always send you a card and I am sure you will love to CASE…SEND or just simply smile when you get it! I do thank you for your support and this is my way I love to say “thank you”.

I love my card stock on a ring that I got from you last time ! I use it a lot . I like my Color Coach,but having the actual CS makes a difference to me .
Enjoy Boston ! Great place to visit ! Big hello to your Will !
Good morning, Susan. I have a ? about paper bundle #3. Is it paper or card stock? I would like to have a sample of each card stock color for reference but the description says “paper” so I wanted to be sure. Thanks.
Such a great card. The tree is awesome and what a big pop of color with the ribbon behind it.
Thanks for sharing!
I LOVE my cs swatch book. I use it every time I stamp. Old eyes need this kind of help to tell the different colors/shades so we can match everything for our projects. So perfectly put together. Thanks you again Susan.
Hi Debra…..they are all actual pieces of our card stock! It is the best so you can actually have the piece tight in you little hands! To me…this is such a useful tool and I have the color name and color family on each piece for you!!! Hope that this helps!
I may have to order that tree punch. You know how much I liked it the first time I saw it! It’s a good thing the holiday catalog goes until Jan. I need time to save up money after all the vacation purchases!
Have a fun time in MA. We never got to Cape Cod while we lived in NH. Maybe sometime!
Cyberhugs!
After taking part in your shares last time, I’ve become completely hooked on lining my envelopes. You are 100% right that it’s so easy to pull out the right colour when you have the DSP colour collections. I’m still working up to the ribbon – I find it hard to incorporate. Your packaging is superb.
