Good “Hump Day” to you! Today I have a simply CLASSIC card that would be sooooo over the top appropriate for many cards that we need to send out! I think that I should say “THANK YOU” to my super sweet Aunt Jean for this post.
She asked me if I ever made any cards that were very plain…no flowers….no sayings….just something that she could write a note for many variety of occasions! Well….when someone asks me – OF COURSE I am thrilled to grant her her wish! (especially for her as she is just the sweetest)
I know that everyones in boxes have been flooded with post using this amazing new product but today I decided to showcase it SUPER SIMPLE without using the items that are in this amazing bundle to should you a different look and still be able to inspire you that you can make something WITHOUT a bunch of fuss!
You are able to order this bundle now….there is a starter one below but at the end of the post I will highlight this “premier” one and I would FOR SURE get that one…..(now just hang on with me – I can feel the sticker shock setting in but BE PATIENT)
As I said above, there have been so many posts using this beauty but you really need to understand and just “take in” the genius beauty of the versatility of these framelits ~ these take Die Cutting to the top of a mountian! As you know, Mary Fish is my Upline and friend and I think that her below video “nailed it” showcasing how they all come together!
Please sit back and watch this short video…it will really turn the light on for you!
Now you can see how I created this amazing medallion….(actually effortless) because of “Mr. Big” and the amazing dies. Do you all remember how I say OVER AND OVER about having the classics….well – here you go ~ the layering circle framelits make is a breeze to cut the medallion out – you see…..the classics ARE your friends!
Doesn’t this classic just make you smile? You know that I adore clean and classic lines and I also adore navy and white….but this pop of Emerald Envy just screams a keeper!
A quick Night of Navy enamel dot in the middle of the fun is the perfect finishing touch without adding bulk to the card.
Here you go again…another thing I have said OVER and OVER…when you have a rather simple and classic card, pull out the simply scored and score the sides of the card to create an instant depth – works like a charm each and every time. There is no need to make things complicated as SIMPLE WORKS!
Here is your picture to pin! I would suggest you starting a board called Eastern Palace and go have fun looking at all of the AMAZING samples so many have made. I think that you will see that this truly is a unique set and one that will work for many occasions.
Now to the “Premier Bundle”…I know…I know – you are seeing that $103.50 and going YIKES?!?!?
Trust me, I get it because when I first saw that I thought “how in the heck can it be that much?” well…I did the math (probably like you did) and actually I found out that it was a great deal as you get it at the Bundled Price (which saves you $5.50) and then the THICK Vanilla Card Stock ($7.00) and the Envelopes ($6.50) so in total – you are saving $19.00.
Now THIS IS the way to get this Premier Bundle, CLICK HERE and just get the Ultimate Bundle for $99….just hear me out and below I have done the math for you….(well, John is my in home resident CPA) 😀
For $99 you can get and it all ships for FREE!
- The Eastern Palace Premier Bundle (# 147207, $103.50)
- The other (2) In Color Stamp Pads (Berry Burst #144083 & Powder Pink #144084) $6.50 X 2 = $13.00
- A pack of the NEW In Colors 8 1/2 X 11 Cardstock – (4) sheets of each of the new colors (#144247, $8.00)
Now here is the other way to look at it…..if you were to just put this on an order it would be:
- $124.50 + shipping ($12.45) = $136.95 – I do not know about you but I would take that $37.95 savings!
There is no BIG BAD WOLF…Stampin’ Up! makes it way too easy for us to be able to get a 20% or 25% discount each and everyday that we want it. I love hobbyist and I want you to be able to get a discount. I truly do not care if you are my very best customer or if you were a SUD before….I just love what I do and I love to be able to share with you the facts….it is easy, no obligations and it is fun!

Good morning and there is a reason that this post is late in getting to you….are you curious?
Well…here is the scoop ~ Tuesday mornings are the magical day of the week that Stampin’ Up! gives us updates and general “scoop” that helps us with our Stampin’ fun!
I hope that you enjoyed this sweet bird clip and one bird is me…and the other is you.
Here is what is going on …we are having fun…we are chatting away….you are saying could I….should I….and I am saying….JUST DO IT!
Today is an extra special day because today is the day that we will be able to see what “selective” products that we will be able to order as a “pre-order” for the launching of the NEW annual catalog that goes live on June 1st! To me, this is a HUGE perk and sheer FUN to be able to order and also “play” with the new goodies.
I know that you know that the Ultimate bundle allows you to pick $125 worth of product and it costs you $99 and it ships for FREE (so that in itself saves you $12.50) and if I were you….these are (3) items that I would add to get that Ultimate Bundle! (Because we cannot share images within the catalog yet…you will see that I have provided you a Pinterest links and also a video that will show you many samples that many have made)
By now you know me, I like practical products and these 3 are very practical and will be marathon additions to your collection…another way to say it, KEEPERS! 😀
As the saying goes…it is as easy as 1,2,3 and I have the 3 products to make it easy!
- Colorful Seasons Bundle # 145348 – $54.00 – CLICK HERE TO SEE SAMPLES of fabulous ideas using this bundle and I am sure you can see images of the stamp set and bundle! I LOVE bundles….as framelits are our friends!
- At Home With You Bundle #145351 – $50.25 – Below is a video….you are going to LOVE this as it is bundle that you can use all year and for soooo many different occasions! YIPPEE…we love our framelits and I think that you can see in this video…these are super special!
- Crafting Forever Stamp Set #143958 – $20.00 – CLICK HERE TO SEE SAMPLES and I am just giddy of this stamp set. Not only is it super versatile but it is a perfect gift to give to your crafty friend! I was just thrilled that I received it at On Stage!
There you go…..you can CLICK HERE and get the Ultimate Bundle with these (3) above items that would have cost you $124.25 ( plus the 10% shipping $12.43) = $136.68 and you only have to pay $99 (SHIPS FOR FREE)! Can you see how that is a WIN-WIN plus your box of fun will have the new catalog in it?
I will say that I adore the fact that Stampin’ Up! allows “SUPER SMART STAMPERS” ~ let’s call you “SSS’ers” to be able to place “pre-order” goodies in the “Ultimate Bundle”…the one that YOU pick with no obligations ~ is just a no brainer….it is like going to Bed Bath & Beyond with that familiar Blue 20% off coupon that we all use!
I think…no I know that when you see that Direct Selling Agreement that you RUN as fast as you can….or you are like a dog with its tail between his legs…but the reality of it is, Stampin’ Up! has to go through this and it is truly nothing to be worried about.
Over 95% of SUD are hobbiest and trust me, that is JUST FINE as who does not like a deal….I know I do! It is funny…when there is a great SU sale …you all HOP on it.…and I think, why don’t you just be a “SSS’er” 😀 and get a 20% discount each and everyday? ( and pssst…..you could also get a 25% discount as well)
I adore and I welcome hobbiest as it is so simple, WHY NOT? I think that many think that they will either HAVE to do something…teach a class….have required sales quotas etc…and here is the truth – No. It is as simple as that. I love this quote and I hope that you let it sink in.
I can say, that the 3 days that I had with Michelle would not have been possible without me hitting that BUTTON to do something for me. True, I was only in for that one order and then bye-bye birdie…but I am sure glad that I stuck around. The relationships that I have gained are priceless and something I cherish. You can also click here and read my story and my Stampin love….
It is simple, I love what I do and I love to share the facts and truths with YOU! Now go have a GREAT day!

Ok – This is my first post that showcases a “New Kid on the Block” from the upcoming NEW Annual Catalog that will be unveiled and ready to order from June 1st. (I know that seems like ages away but it will ZOOM by and if you have ordered from me in this past year – you will get yours as soon as I am able to order them) 😀
Here you go…A confession from an honest stamper ~ I know that you can only image how I squealed with excitement when Stampin’ Up! gave this stamp set as an all attendee giveaway at the Richmond On Stage…but here you go…YOU NEED THIS STAMP SET! I do not care if you are not a proud Mama to a pig like I am, you have to admit…you are smiling because they are soooooo darn tootin’ cute!
Once I saw this stamp set, I could care less about any other newbies (well…that is an exaggeration) but I am sure you could have envisioned the smile I had when I saw this in the new catalog but then the icing on the cake….to come home with one – I WAS SQUEALING WITH JOY! (you can tell that it doesn’t take much to make me happy) 🙂
This sweet card is using the Whisper White Notecards & Envelopes….please do not overlook them because they are the BEST bang for your buck and guess what – one of my wishes are coming true…..in the NEW Catalog they will also be available in Very Vanilla….WOOT-WOOT! (another reason to SQUEAL like Daisy-Mae!)
You will see at the end of the post the colors of ink that I used but I also used the NEW In Color of Powder Pink – I used that as my base and then the highlights (blush 😀 ) are in Blushing Bride. This new pink will be a huge hit because it is so “clear and crisp”
I have another question for you…..why are so many of you afraid of water-coloring? Please be brave and leave me a comment with your “hold-backs” so I know how to help!
I think that the SINGLE reason that many of you might have is soooo simple – you do NOT have enough water on the end of the brush of the Aqua Painter….you really need to have lots of movement with the bristles of the Aqua Painter.
Now to card #2 – this is an enclosure card….a 3″ X 3″ card and again, I am squealing! I think that we forget the fact that Stampin’ Up! offers the square envelopes for this size of card and I will say…..it is fun to have a “stash” of enclosures because they DO come in handy!
Sooooooo cute…and I know you are smiling….on the inside I stamped the sentiment “Says Thanks” – so fast and sweet! I am tellin’ you….this is a FEEL GOOD Stamp Set!
Well…THOUGHTS???? I sent this card to Chris R. so I am excited to hear what she has to say about this stamp set. I think that Teddy would approve of a Pig in the “Robinson House” – just think…..I bet if you purchase this ~ each and every-time you use it you will think of Daisey and me 😀
I think that we all need a bit of fun and humor in our loves and this little piggy will do just that! I just could not be happier.
Many thanks for your comments and emails yesterday for the post…and I hope that you go back and see the comments I left. Remember, organizing is such a personal thing – what works for me….might not work for you and guess what – THAT IS TOTALLY OK!
Have a fabulous day….I know you will because you have seen my swine and I look forward to seeing you tomorrow 😉

Not only are the names super fun…but the colors are super yummy and I am already having fun with my swatch samples of Stampin Up! colors in seeing new color combinations that I will want to try! (Yes, I will be offering the swatch samples in my Product share later this month)
Here you go….meet your new family for the next 2 years! Please leave everyone some feedback of the color that “strikes your fancy”….and tomorrow I will share with you mine…..what do you think that I will like best!?!?
(You can click on the picture to see it against a black screen if it helps you with clarity)
There you go!!!! I hope that this is a huge help to you in seeing the new kids on the block and how they are friends with colors we already have!
Make it a great day and I hope to see you tomorrow!!!!

Good morning to all…if you follow my blog regularly than you already know that I consider myself “computer challenge” so you know that there was a “hiccup” on my end in your post yesterday….I am still learning the new platform but I am sorry and I hope that you read yesterday’s post as it was filled with ideas from me about the stamp choices out there plus the winner!
Today is a sneak peak of the FUN that is coming your way with the SALE~A ~BRATION….is this paper FUN or what!?!? It can be yours for every $50.00 order starting in January and this is a super fun collection of a new DSP for just a limited time!
I know that many of you are afraid of using a big and bold statement of a busy DSP…but I think that you can see that it works today! I am also showing you a sentiment (I ADORE die cut sentiments) and this is from the Annual Catalog and I think that we have all forgotten it…..(you can see it in the store below) but hang tight to see a twist that I did!
We are all super blessed to learn from many talented stampers and I just adore Jennifer McQuire…..she shared on a blog post that she uses craft foam to cut sentiments so I tried it and I loved it! It was super easy to cut with the Big Shot and I used the good old “green glue” to adhere them together…..
The envelope liner framelit was the perfect touch to the finale to make this a card of WOW! I love it, how about YOU? The other MUST HAVE in my opinion is the triple banner punch – I know that you can easily cut you own banners, but this is so easy and if you have a piece of paper that is not exactly the right size, no worries….just line it up and you are good to go!
The other “sneak peak” is a stamp set that is also a bundle….so here comes a WOOT-WOOT.…and I know that you will need to have it – a great stamp…plus a matching punch is the bonus – and fabulous sentiments!
I adore the fact that you can stamp the flowers and the PUNCH in ONE PUNCH!
I hope that this is getting you excited for the new catalog but also do not forget that there are definite keepers like the Hello You Framelits…oldies but goodies!
Enjoy the day and again, I apologize for not setting up the post yesterday like normal…but I do hope that you read it and learn from it! Way to go for winning…please send me your address and I will send you your goodies!
Change and I do not go hand in hand…but I am trying and it will be all good! Have a FABULOUS DAY!
p.s. – please do not forget to read yesterdays post as I really gave a lot of tips and ideas of my feelings of the different stamps we have….you can imagine that I was sad when the work I put into that post did not post like I wanted it to !

Happy Weekend and do I have a fun and simple card for you!!! When I saw the new catalog, I knew that this was coming to Randall Lane! I just LOVE those single stamps…so affordable and this one is over the top FUN!
I realize that there is a very "short window" for Halloween and this Tuesday when the new catalog is available to order from….ORDER THIS!I have to admit, when I was stamping this image I did love the "feel" of a wooden block ~ maybe we need to have another blog post about how we are feeling about the choices of wood, clear and photopolymer!
You can clearly see that this makes a super cute card…but this would also be great using a "single broom" along with another Halloween stamp or even with a house warming card with a gift card from Lowes or Home Depot…that would be a fun idea!
So simple….you do not need me (well, I hope that you feel that you need me) – but really ~ this is an A-2 Vertical Card in Very Vanilla….I chose this neutral as it works perfectly with the A M A Z I N G Happy Haunting Designer Series Paper….There is not one print in this pack that I do not go nuts over – just fabulous!
You can see that I stamped the fun image on a piece of scraps and then did a random cut….LOVE doing this – it is a trick that I used to do when I scrap-booked as I could not cut a straight line….so random worked! Matting it on Tangelo Twist was easy-peasy!
The layer is 1/4" smaller, 4" X 5 1/4" and then I used the Simply Scored and scored 2 lines on each side….SUPER EASY….SUPER EFFECTIVE! The stampin' dimensionals were a huge impact to add fun and interest to the tone on tone of the very vanilla.
Below…just "gander" at this A M A Z I N G collection of paper….this is another MUST HAVE on Tuesday!
You have heard me say this time and time again….do not stress about making the "free~hand" cutting ….just do it and do not think about being perfect – trust me – it ALWAYS works out….just keep going until you get to your starting point!
Do you agree…the double scoring really makes this card? So fast, so simple, so easy, so cute!
Remember, creating a card does not need to be stressful – it needs to be FUN and it needs to be fulfilling. This is such a basic card that carries a big punch!
The finale – the beloved envelope! IS this so stinkin' cute – and look how fun! Please email me if you do not smile when you see polka dots….it's like an instant party!
The stripe of Tangelo Twist is 1/4" and then the 2" DSP adhered with the "Green Glue" is the recipe! (This way I can get 12 envelopes from a sheet of DSP)
Well…..thoughts my friends????Please leave me a comment and let me know how you like today's card! This is a "Susan Card" – holding true to my style of paper crafting but please make sure that you pop back tomorrow to see the stepped up version!
Thanks for all of the super sweet comments for Aunt Jean – guess what that dear James did…..he sent her an Edible Arrangement (fruit) and WOW – she was soooo touched – I told you he is a keeper! Guess what? She is leaving with a friend on Monday to go to Canada for 10 days….I think that is just GREAT to be 88 and still have so much life ahead!
Enjoy the day, email me if you need me…..feel free to shop away on my online store….(I am like Walmart – open 24 hours a day!!!!)
Until tomorrow! BOO!!!!
