Have fun...email me if you have any questions… – my head is still swimming with the NEW CATALOG!!
I naturally could not share with you what I did for my downline for the Stampin' Up! NEW Catalog Premiere….and with having to write this post BEFORE the event…I am just soooooo excited!
At the end of the post I am going to sneak in something about the
new catalog to "inspire you"…
if I can be awake enough when I get home!
I felt so blessed to have 3 of my "downline peeps" go with me to the Alexandria, VA show….and I also had the great opportunity to be with (2) more of Mary Fish's PALS that met up with us…..sooo much fun!
I hope that you can see that I was able to "keep it simple"…yet make it a super fun card! As always, I will break it down for you! It was fun and making it made me get so excited to see the new catalog!
The base is the notecard size…(WOWZERS – that's a shocker for me!!!!) and then the red is 4 5/8" X 3 1/8"….using the white gel pen…..I did my "dash – dot" thing I like to do!!! (Remember – keep those pens on their side….you will not have a problem with them clogging up)
The sentiment was a cinch as I did it with MDS (but you could do it with Word) as I just used a font and the cut it out to mat behind the On Film Framelit….CUTE – isn't it???….so easy yet fun! Just think of how you could put many different "spot lights" in the film frame….
Now to the fun and simple "decorations" to POP the card! The "popcorn" is from the Create A Cupcake Stamp set and then popped out with the Cupcake Builder Punch… the Itty Bitty Shapes Pack was the fun popcorn and I sponged in with daffodil delight!
The ticket is from the That's the Ticket Stamp Set….and THIS was the TICKET…as I wouldn't have missed going tp the preview movie!
I used Stampin' Dimensionals to "lift" this whole focal part UP from the red base! What would we do without out Stampin' Vitamins!
The liner with the help of the envelope liners framlits was from the Brights Designer Series Paper Stack….just love to boldness of the Red Red!!!
A quick Stamp to the front of the envelope was the finishing touch! I love to jazz up the fronts of the envelopes when I can!
PRODUCT ALERT: – You know that the Create a Cupcake Stamp Set is on the discontinued list…but did you notice that the punch is still here…well…I would say we are getting a new stamp set….which is a WOOT-WOOT!!!
Well…what did you think!?!? I thought that this card created a WOW….but it was still so simple, clean and has classic lines….just like I like it!!!
I loved your comments about yesterday's post and I am thrilled that you understood where I was coming from. Sometimes it is hard to put into words….but from the emailsI received, I think that many of you are going to give sketches a try….I am very happy and proud of you!
You can email me for help….I am just so excited to see the "lightbulb" go on and see that you are excited and developing a confidence in your own style…sooooo exciting to hear!
QUICK SCOOP ON THE NEW CATALOG!!!
Naturally I cannot share with you pictures of the new catalog yet but the one thing that I walked away with is…
If you like my style of stamping…
I know you are going to LOVE the new catalog and it's offerings!
We did not get the catalog until we left the movie theatre and the whole way home, I was getting a PAGE by PAGE…look at this….OMG……look at that!!! From what I could digest (as I was driving)…it is very clean and fun…FUN is a great word to describe it…
Stampin' Up! has truly done a fabulous job with this catalog and I know that you are going to love it and I also know that I am going to LOVE to inspire YOU with some great projects!
Thanks for popping in….long day but great day…..my heart is filled with Stampin' Up! happiness and it was a fun journey to be on….I had to text the kids to say….I just experienced a 1st in probably 15 years….I went to a movie and did not fall asleep!!!! YIPPEE!!!!
WOWZERS….these past several days have been a lesson well learned! 1st…
I MISSED YOU ALL…and I MISSED BLOGGING!
My fingers are crossed that this whole typepad thing is fixed but I would not be surprised if there are more clitches here and there for the next several days but…if I can get a post out to you…
I'll take it and smile!
Before we go much further I want you all to know that being down in cyber space made me realize even more how much I love what I do and how much I truly missed my "dailiness of blogging" Every time I looked at my computer I felt like there were my cyber friends in there that were stuck!!!!
I truly appreciated sooo many emails letting me know that my blog was not getting to them etc…it made me realize that we really do have a connection to each other…and this whole "Stampin' Up! thing we do"…really does make a difference in so many different ways!
SOOOOO much going on with Stampin' Up!…and it's all good! Remember that this is the week for …
A great opportunity to stock up on items you just cannot live without on a daily basis like paper, adhesives, envelopes etc…and this year all of the items are on a 1st come basis with the retiring products!
Let's touch on the retiring products before we get to our simple card! If this is the 1st time for you to go through this process of seeing that SU is retiring products….have no fear – I know it's hard to see some of your old faithfuls going bye-bye…but there will be great and exciting new products to come starting June 1st!
Updated list of retiring accessories – CLICK HERE!
Above are the lists and you will see that some items are already sold out…my advice is…if you see a product that you simply cannot live without…than GO FOR IT….it will be gone soon and far better to take advantage of the Free Shipping as well…HIT THE SHOP NOW button and have fun!
Remember that I am offering BLOG CANDY for people that place order with me! For every $25.00 increment of orders you will have 1 chance to win blog candy! Click here to see the post that I focused on this and below is the picture of the blog candy you'll have a chance to win…10 super cute cards and envelopes! WOOT-WOOT!!!
OH NO….remember I said that there are probably still hiccups…
Well…I just hit one…Typepad is not letting me download photos that I have taken into my blog…I went back to past posts and I my pictures are not coming up….I guess we will have to be patient for another day!
One thing that I can tell you is…I made a super easy card and it is appropriately stamped with "Make aWish"…as I have really, really been wishing that my blog was fixed! It's cute…it's simple and it's practical…I think it is worth the wait!
Before I went to sleep last night I emailed my dear friend Brian King…as I knew he would make me smile…and asked him to talk with the cyber gods for all of us that have typepad!!!! (I guess it helped a bit)
We are getting there and as I have been reminding myself…in the BIG PICTURE OF LIFE…this is a teeny tiny speed bump…true I know that it is an inconvenience but there are far worse things out there!!!
Day by day…we will be back strong and we will forget this whole thing happened…
Keep it simple in all areas of life and we will have a happy journey…
I truly am hoping that this blog posting gets to you! WOW…talk about bad timing! Typepad has been down world wide and it is still touch and go….hopefully it will be up strong and we do not have to go through this again!
Naturally it could not have happened at a worse time but in the big spectrum of life…it could be worse! This is something totally out of our control…
I hope that everyone had a great Holiday Weekend….Now to the fun, exciting week….
I truly appreciate everyones emails missing my blogging….it's wonderful to be loved!!! (ha-ha!!!)
I was anxiously awaiting the magical time to share with you the retiring list and the wind was taken out of my sails when I could not blog!
Here are the lists….and they are only while supplies last!
Stampin' Up! always continues to be "on top of it" and I know that the "newbies" that will be around the corner will "ease our crafting pain" of losing some of our favorites!

Many thanks for your patience through this type-pad time…I am looking forward to getting "back in the groove" as I miss my posting…I miss your comments….and I miss the dailiness that I have so embraced!
Please feel free to email me if you have any questions…and again, thanks for your patience and support….in closing….
Let's get some conversation going…what is you most "surprised" product that is going bye-bye….??? Fingers crossed….we'll be up tomorrow!
I really do not like to start the week off with a some what "not so positive note"…BUT – this problem with typepad not being so cooperative over the past several days….has been a bit frustrating especially since I am not the computer gu-ru etc…
I have emails from several other SUD and the best advice is….be patient! So that is what I am doing!
So today not only am I sharing with you the RETIRED LIST of products….but I am also sharing with you the SUPER NEW April Paper Pumpkin Video from Stamp Up!
Mine arrived on Saturday and I have not had the chance to "play" – but hopefully today is the day…it is OOBER cute and I am soooo darn tootin' happy with this program! SU is sooooo determined to make a "turn around" with this program…and I am lovin' it!
Please click here back to my post the other day to see the blog candy for taking advantage of FREESHIPPING this week! I am super excited and I plan to take full advantage of this great week!
I hope that you print off the retired list and grab your catalog…see the items you have been "on the fencewith"and decide…As I have shared with you before – if your heart tells you that you LOVE itthan go forit...it not…I am honest and say wait….as we know there will be great things coming down the pike!
I am SUPER excited that TODAY I CAN ORDER the Project Life by Stampin' Up! – demonstrators can order today! I did an inventory check of paper, adhesives and basic staples…so not only will I receive a great discount…I will not have to pay shipping…just like YOU!
Yesterday was a GREAT day! I missed my 2 peeps that could not be here but it was wonderful to see Hannah and Aidan and of course my wonderful Dad! We had a great day….just like I wanted…everything and nothing all at the same time!
Once I see that tupepad is back up and running…I'll be back…..let all have a great week!
Today of all days….more typepad problems with the blog! But forget about that….we’ve got some super exciting news…I shared with you yesterday that Stampin' Up! has something to tell us today….well here you go….
From Monday April 21st – Friday April 25th….
I am excited as I am desperately out of sooooo much basic paper and supplies! Monday also is the date that Stampin' Up! will share with us the list of products that will be retiring….I know it's sad but think of the bright side…NEW goodies will be right around the corner!!!
Think about it this way…
products might be "retired"…
but they will never be "expired"!!!
I often get asked…what do you do with your old product? Well…there are some stamp sets that I would never be able to part with because I adore them…I might not show them in my blog to you…but if they are a "keeper" in my eyes…than they are a keeper in my studio!
So how about some blog candy!
For every person that places and order with me of $25.00 or more during this FREE SHIPPING time…you will have the chance to win 10 cards and super cute envelopes from me!!!
for example…your order is $32.00 = 1 chance
your order is $76.00 = 3 chances!!!
I will announce the winner next Saturday, April 26th! I know it's a holiday weekend and I hope everyone has a safe and fun Easter but take some time….grab a piece of paper and right down the "basics" that you never can be without and then on Monday when you see the "bye-bye" list you can add to your order and the whole thing ships for FREE!!!
This is my stock up time on things I use over and over….adhesives…paper…demensionals…envelopes….ya-da-ya-da!!!
Please pop back tomorrow as the front of my card says something that I hope you are going to do when you see it!!!
Fingers crossed the cyber-gods will be working and everyone gets their inspiration from me!
Until tomorrow!!!!
p.s. – I know that there are a couple of you that ordered from me today…no worries – you probably did not know about the free shipping (sorry!) – I will honor your order for chances to win the blog candy!
