Annual Product Share…YIPPEE-SKIPPEE!

Untitled

 

Good morning and I know that many of you have sent me mails….“ARE YOU GOING TO DO A PRODUCT SHARE?” Yep, you betcha! My catalogs are scheduled to land tomorrow and trust me – I will be slapping mailing labels on them and going to the Williamsport Post Office to pass them on to you! (I also have a little In Color sample/ Wish list goodie for you)

I know that you probably totally expect me to say that this catalog is great, but guess what? IT IS GREAT! I still flip through it and see something else that I did not see before and then I smile…and then my wish list gets longer and longer.

I am one that does not like to “assume” that everyone knows what a product share is so I will do my best to explain.

A Product Share allows you the opportunity to get the news products (mainly the papers, ribbons and embellishments) in a smaller quantity so your “piggy bank” is not hit so hard…because the reality is – there are a ton of stamps, new tools, new punches etc…that you are just going to “HAVE TO HAVE” and by participating in a Product Share you are getting great feel for all of the new products; you can try them and then if you choose to order whole packs – you can easily do that!

I basically take the products that I know you love….divide them into smaller quantities and then pass the savings to you so you do not have to purchase whole rolls of ribbons…whole packages of paper etc….

Here you go with a run down of the offerings: Please email me with your order and make sure that you put in the Subject Line NEW CATALOG PRODUCT SHARE 2016this way I can “spot it” – put you in a grouping for ease on my end along with your address so I know where to ship to! 🙂 I will send you an email confirmation to confirm your share order.

 

 

Product Share #1 – Swatch Books  $32.50 (There is 13 swatch books of amazing new paper)

IMG_6286

 

There are a couple of “must haves” at my work area and HANDS DOWN, this is one of them. It is a dream to not have the clutter on your work area of full sheets of paper and these swatches allow you to flip through and see the colors and patterns….figure out how you can mix and match….I true lifesaver…a true must have.

For just $2.50 per swatch book, you will have all of the info you need….the DSP name, item #, price, colors that coordinate…this in itself deserves a WOOT-WOOT! Here is the back with all of the “vitals” 😀

  • Neutrals

You know that I use these all of the time – a total lifesaver when you are in need to a quick pop of fun with a certain color that you are working with. I am the very first to admit that if you were to purchase them individually, it would be super $$$ as they are $22.00 per pack  = $132.00 for all 6. YIKES!!! 😯

I offer these at every product share and they are always a hit…I think that this paper is chocked full of “spot on” prints that always make your projects shine! 🙂

 

 

Product Share #4 – Swatches of FUN!  – $8.00 –  This is another product that I offer these at every product share and they are always a hit. When John and I made our last trek to North Carolina to see Hannah….I was “working ahead” as these always go “OUT THE DOOR” when I offer them (John had to put headphones on because he was tired of the CLICKING of the punch!…there are sometimes a girl has to do what she has to do! 🙂 

I keep these at my work area along with my DSP swatches and they are a daily “go to” This makes a PERFECT gift for a friend that loves Stampin’ Up! – you will really make their day! It is all about keeping things simple and this is a lifesaver.

Product Share #5 – Ribbons  – $50.00 (I went to figure it out how many yards….and I became brain overload – YOU GET A TON, you’ll BE SET! 🙂 

Wow. Where do I begin? We all love our ribbon and we all want to have it all so this is why getting the share is the way to go! I take great pride in how I package my ribbon so you will never have anything knotted up….pulling out of bags etc…below you can see how I package them, I do have this Ruched Ribbon as it was available on the pre-order and it is unreal – you will love the way it ties (I can even do it) There are 11 new offerings and I will do my best to showcase them.

Monday…Monday…happens every week and this week I am super excited but also super “HOW IN THE HECK AM I GOING TO GET EVERYTHING DONE” – I am one of those people that work much better with a deadline and a HUGE to do list and trust me…I have one!

Hannah graduates this Sunday and I am over the moon happy to have all of my peeps…my dear Dad…my brother…Aunt Jean…Hannah’s Godparents all coming and we rented a super fun house to all be together – this will be a WONDERFUL time for the memory books….but I am away for 4 days and then I have a big trip!

Today is the last day that you can sign up for May’s Paper Pumpkin and we are super lucky to be able to see a sneak peek for May’s kit (Stampin’ Up! does not usually do this but I am happy) 🙂  – this looks to be a FUN Birthday one and heck – we all know, everyone has a Birthday so why not?

 

MaySneakPeek_PPKit_April2016

 

As I posted about before, I am giving one lucky person this stamp set….(I ordered an extra one so YOU can win this Exclusive Stamp Set) – with me loving horses and in spirit of the Kentucky Derby – right now the odds are 4 to 1….so I say DO IT – how can you lose?

 

paper_pumpkin11

 

Please know that you can sign up for just one month and be done….so what do you have to lose? NOTHING. If you were a prior Paper Pumpkin Person…(I love that name) you can resign up and be in the odds! This also makes a SUPER gift…..you can gift a 1 month kit to a friend…..

 

IMG_6177

 

I am just LOVIN’ the new In Colors…I cannot wait for you to have the opportunity to order them. With the way the calendar is rolling….it will be here in a SNAP!!!!

 

IMG_6179

 

Enjoy this card and as my Mom always told me, do not plant your flowers until Mothers Day….and I was true to her wise words – yesterday I ALSO WEEDED WAY TO MUCH but it needed to be done as we will be away a bunch and guess what touched my heart?

I do not think that you will be surprised but…I missed my dear sweet Eddie…..he was always by my side when I did this nasty job and I found many tennis balls along the way….darn that precious dog loved his tennis balls. Everyday gets better but trust me, my heart is still a bit empty – he was one in a million.

 

IMG_6185

 

I hope that this super simple card brought a smile to your face….and you know what I am going to say – CLICK that button to get a 1 month Paper Pumpkin kit…..you’ll be in the running to win this stamp set (odds are great)….you will have a great kit coming your way to help you with upcoming Birthday cards…..and I will smile 🙂

Have a great Monday and lets all have a super-de-duper week ahead – it is soooo hard to believe that my “Red Caboose” will be graduating this week! Hannah is a great young lady with a great future ahead! I am just super excited to have so many people that I love so much to be together!

 

IMG_6175

 

Step it up Sunday!

IMG_6260

 

 

Hello to all….the sun shined yesterday afternoon and that made me happy! We have been having lots of rain this week and it is great to have a break from it. I am so happy that you all enjoyed yesterdays card and I hope that you like the simple changes I made today!

 

IMG_6258

 

I know I tell you this often, but I get worried that the little changes that I make…will disappoint you – but please know that you do not need to make dramatic modifications to give a new life and feel to a card! You know me…Simple Susan!

It is all about stretching yourself to try something that you do not usually do…and if it works – great…if not, you tried!

 

IMG_6264

 

There are 3 changes that I made:

  • Using the spatter stamp in the stamp set (YES – love it) in Daffodil Delight (I stamped it off once to make it lighter)
  • I added the linen thread behind the sentiment
  • I added some sequins – now this is something that I rarely do but I like it….just a little touch that adds interest.

 

IMG_6146

IMG_6148

 

Here you can see a good side angle to show you the additions. This is a super fun bundle and one that there are many options and opportunities to have fun!

I can only imagine once the catalog goes live that there are going to be LOTS of fun ideas with this stamp set.

 

IMG_6263

 

I adhered the sequins with the “green glue”…just put a dab, let it set up a bit and then you are good to go! I do think that it adds a fun and artistic flare!

Below is one more look – fun I think!

 

 

IMG_6262

 

Envelopes love makes me happy and today I did the same, using the new Washi Tape across the top and then adding the Dapper Denim embossed with the FUN polka Dot Folder!

 

 

IMG_6265

 

Here is your 411 to save for future reference….

I tracked when my catalogs are coming…the Brown Truck should be rolling down Randall Lane on Wednesday and I have already printed up labels for those of you that have ordered from me in the past year…and have no fear – JOY will be arriving to your door.

If you are new to Stampin’ Up! and are not working with a demonstrator…I would love to earn your support. Please email me and provide for me your address and I will see that you receive this special catalog!

 

IMG_6269

 

Have a fabulous day….and a HUGE Happy Mothers Day to those of you out there!!! Being a MOM is one of the most important roles one could have….and I am super proud to have 3 peeps call me MOM!

 

Simple Saturday with a sneak peek!

IMG_6114

 

Wow…many thanks for all of the A M A Z I N G comments that you all left yesterday! It is always such a treat to read your thoughts. Together we learn from each other, together we support each other and together we inspire each other! 🙂

Before we get to the card today, I am sure that many of you are wondering…DID I WIN???? DID I WIN??? Well, one thing for sure…someone did so let’s see who it is!

WOOT-WOOT to you Elizabeth and I agree…I AGREE!!!! Hang onto your hats when you see the new DSP…..we were only able to pre-order 3 of them but WOW – they are gorgeous and I do hope that you all are using up your DSP that you have because you are going to LOVE THE NEWBIES (yep, I will be doing a product share to give you a taste of it all without breaking the bank)

Now to the next part of your wonderful comment….we are one big happy family – my motto is….If it is not fun…why do it?!?! I have fun…and I love what I do so you all are stuck with me! 🙂  Thank  you ALL – for your comments and Elizabeth, please email me with your address and I will send you your adhesives!

Today is a fun and festive card and I adore the color combination. I told you that I was going to use the other 2 new kids on the block – Dapper Denim and Emerald Envy. (they are BEAUTIFUL….don’t you think?????) Darn I just wish that I could share with you all of the new goodies in the catalog….but trust me, there are some fun stamps sets and bundles.

This stamp set, Swirly Bird is a very unique one….and yep, it comes as a bundle and you can see in the pictures below how fun and modern it is. You can see that today I made it super easy…but you betcha that it is one that you can really, really do some FUN things with.

 

IMG_6118

 

You just cannot go wrong with laying white on white – never goes out of style…always looks so clean and crisp! Sometimes I feel like I do this over and over but it works – please do not stress yourself in feeling the need to always be trying a new style  – I say, do what works and feels good to you!

 

 

IMG_6146

 

IMG_6148

 

Looking underneath the Dapper Denim piece – can you see that there is a stamped image…I stamped it off and then stamped it to give it a lighter feel. Layering is easy and it also gives a great sense of depth to your cards.

I did the same with the leaves and you can see that the difference then you stamp full strength….again, it gives instant depth.

 

IMG_6119

 

To help break your eye from the too much white today, I did a simple scored lines across the top – just enough to give it balance. When I score lines like this, I prefer the Simply Scored Board over the scoring blade on the Stampin’ Trimmer….WHY? – I just think that it gives deeper lines which give a more dramatic effect. I know that having both tools are a bit “over kill” but honestly, they did not have the trimmer when I already had the Score Board.

 

IMG_6120

 

You know that I am still sad but getting over it that the Envelope Liners are going bye-bye….so I am going to continue to give my envelopes some Susan FUN love….and hang on to your hats!

You are going to be super surprised in what I am going to say and share with you….In the NEW catalog…the offerings of Washi Tape are OVER THE TOP FUN! Seriuosly, I know that many of use that make clean and simple cards find it hard to work in washi tape….but here I did across the top of the envelope (p.s. – Mary Ann – you are going to be soooooo excited)

 

IMG_6115

 

One more look and one more comment – I know that it is super hard to see and tomorrow I will try to get a closer picture for you but I took a blender pen to the leaves in the sentiment to blend it a bit – a super easy thing to do and it gives a soft effect.

This sentiment is from the Suite Sayings Stamp Set and I am thrilled that it is being carried over. This is one that has an amazing variety of sentiments….perfect for both the inside and the card front! (I love sets like this)

 

IMG_6112

 

IMG_6122

 

In closing I thank you. I do love what I do and I feel very blessed to be able to share coffee, laughs, learning together and just sharing LIFE. This is soooo much more than making cards and I hope that you can embrace that.

There is nothing like going to your mailbox and seeing some love from a friend in a card. I think as I get older I truly appreciate and do my best to keep life simple….to me, the simple things are so powerful and fulfilling. I find myself with this internal struggle of having to do…and do …and do – but when I create and I am just enjoying the simplicity of doing what we do….I smile. 🙂

Thank you for being you and popping in to see SIMPLE me! I hope to see you back tomorrow…as I will step it up, a bit!

p.s. – Isn’t John the best!?!? I was so touched to have him leave a comment. Please know that he is in awe of ALL OF US…he truly thinks that this whole fun thing we do…is amazing!

 

Blog Candy and I’m BLOOMIN’

Hi. I am glad that you popped in today as today is a special day for me. It is my 4th Anniversary as a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator. I admit, I thought that my time with Stampin’ Up! would have been over 3 years, 11 months ago as the only reason I joined was to support my habit and get a HUGE order at 30%% off and be done.

I knew that I would be “alive” until the end of September that year as Stampin’ Up! lets you have a “buffer” quarter if you do not meet you minimum so I sat back and took the PALS in….I did not tell a soul except Mary Fish (Dah – she’s my upline) and naturally my dear John (but I admit, I told him after the fact)….it was something that I thought I needed as I loved the products and I really, really wanted all of the ink pads and markers, (that was my main goal)

Keeping this little secret to myself and finding it super fun to stamp…I saw that there was a leadership convention open to anyone in the fall….anyone??? I am anyone….with the support of John saying…“you should go” I thought to myself – I do not know a soul…I have never sold a thing, I have no business going – but then John again said, “Susan, you know what it is like to go to a leadership event (as I was very active with Creative Memories).…and whenever you came home from a leadership event, you were always so happy and fulfilled”

The rest is history….I took a leap of faith and looked for a roommate to share the expenses and she was wonderful. Deb is from Wisconsin and I always call her “roomie” – I met an instant friend for life….that is what this whole crazy thing is about….making relationships and sharing handmade kindness.

I feel s blessed to have Stampin’ Up! and YOU in my life….This little thing that we go is just total fun and sooooo rewarding. Please know that YOU can do anything you set out to try….please keep making others and yourself smile by making cards…it does matter! 🙂

 

 

IMG_6083

 

 

Ok – enough about this special day for me….but it could be a LUCKY DAY for you!!!! I am offering BLOG CANDY for you if you leave me a comment…and tomorrow I will let the lucky person know who won! Please leave me a comment (by 9 p.m. Eastern) about why you love Stampin’ Up! (I know my heart will pitter-patter)

What is your Blog Candy….please read the post and I will tell you at the end! 🙄 

Today’s card is also the card that you will receive from me with an order of $35.00+ from me in the month of May and if your order is $75.00+ you will get a double whammy – the card and a roll of Tear-N-Tape! We ALL love this adhesive and I thought that it was a “fitting” pick this month as I hope that we always “Stick together”

 

IMG_6084

 

Here is a new hostess code for you WVZNB69Z….

(remember, you can always find it in the upper right corner of my blog!)

I am using many of the new In Colors that will be making their debut very soon. They are fabulous. They are bold. They are clean. They are blue ribbon winners.

 

IMG_6086

 

Today I used Peekaboo Peach, Flirty Flamingo and Sweet Sugarplum along with the other colors that I have listed below in the shopping area …..where are the other 2 NEW In Colors????…..well, tomorrow is a NEW DAY! I think that you are going to like the 2 day challenge this week…sneak peaks to get you excited!

 

IMG_6088

 

I am sad that the decorative dots embossing folders is walking the plank – it is one of my all time favorites. Please do not wait if you want products that are walking the plank – I am sad that a customer was not able to get some things that she really wanted…. 😥

Here is another thing that we need to chitty-chat about….this stamp set, or shall I say, this bundle is only a bundle to the end of the month. This IS carried over in the new catalog but it will be offered “a la carte” so naturally the 15% is OUT THE DOOR! So the moral of this story is if you want this classic bundle – GET IT NOW and SAVE!

I know that many if you feel that we have lots of “flower stamps”..and I agree but then I also say – look at them and see how you can make them work for you! The reason I love this stamp set is the bold, fun images and then the sentiments – are super fun!

Here is the BLOG CANDY and I want YOU to stick with me and my bloggin’ fun! It is all about adhesives as I want us  to STICK TOGETHER! These are my true blues!  I could not….would not be without them! These are my daily “go -to’s”

  • Mono  glue aka….”green Glue”
  • Roll of Tear -n- Tape
  • Fast Fuse
  • glue dots

 

I hope that you enjoyed yesterdays post witht he comparisons of the new In Colors….they are soooo bold and vibrant – again, I know that many of you are wondering where the other 2  In Colors are….please pop back tomorrow…and you will see them….My favorite???? hmmmmmmm – it is soooo hard….I think I have 3 favorites….I

 

 

IMG_6075

 

In closing, Thank you. I would have never in a MILLION YEARS thought that I would have been here 4 years…and Blogging – NO WAY.….but I have to say, I love what I do, I feel like I have friends from all over….and I hope that I bring some sunshine into your day!

I feel like we are a big family of loving what we do and also love embracing the positive side of life. I totally know that I am an over achiever and I take on too much – but please know, it is all in great intentions….and please never underestimate the power of what we do – making someones day better…making YOU feel better!

I look at the huge bowl of cards that was sent to my Mom while she was ill…and I still look at them and feel the love that was sent, please do not think that what you do does not make a difference….but it does…my Mom was the queen of making people happy and fulfilled…I can only hope that I am carrying on the lesson that I learned!

I look forward to your comments!

p.s. – please know that the card and applicable product will be ordered and shipped you to after the 1st week of the following  month!  🙂

 

 

Much better…the new In Colors!

patience

Thanks for your patience with having to have 2 posts today! Still not perfect but I think that you will get a great idea of the comparisons of colors that we already have in the Stampin’ Up! family. These new In Colors will be with us for 2 years!

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!?!?
