Good Friday to all…the weekend is here and it is time for me to have fun over the weekend playing with my new goodies. I was away all day yesterday but when I drove down our lane every finger and toe was crossed that the "Brown Man" paid me a visit….and he did!
I know you all are super excited to get the new products and play and trust me….May is always such a busy month for everyone and I know that these next couple of weeks are going to Z O O M by and June 2nd will be here!
As sad as I was to see the last group of In Colors leave us….these are fabulous. I am being totally honest – I still have a "heart throb" for Strawberry Slush but I know that these are going to be great additions to the paper color family.
Do you have a favorite? Please leave a comment and let's all hear what everyone likes! We all have a hard time with change…but I know that you are going to love working with these.
I had a bit of fun with a new stamp set and I know that you are going to like this one too, but today we are just focusing on the NEW In Colors!
When I pulled the papers out of the box…I thought to myself…blog about your 1st thoughts when you see each color….so here you go!
- Cucumber Crush – Wow…Love it…Will be great with Black & White…Bold…Fun!
- Delightful Dijon – Fall…Very Rich…Will look stunning Navy & White…Much better in person!
- Mint Macaron – Can you say GORGEOUS!!!…Lots of Blue Undertones…Will look great with Very Vanilla & Soft Suede
- Tip Top Taupe – YES – a great NEW Neutral!!!…A perfect blending color…LOVE the name! Will look great at the holiday with Very Vanilla and Always Artichoke
- Watermelon Wonder - Crisp…not as pink as I thought….Very clear and bold…Will look great with Grey's.
Are you excited? I sure am and I am super happy to share them with you. I know that you are going to adore the new catalog and I know that our new friends of the "In Colors" are going to be great friends for the next 2 years!
You too can get these in colors now….please click here to see the post from Wednesday…and you can see for yourself a sneak peek of the items that are available for preorder – it is a total win-win and why not – we all love Stampin' Up! and I would adore helping you have FUN!

Happy Thursday to all and today is another PPA Challenge. This week is my favorite as it is a color challenge. Here is the palette that you can work with and have fun! I had no idea where I was going to go with this but I looked at my DSP Swatches to be my guide!
Please do not be afraid of DSP…as DSP is your friend…and also helps you develop a style! The paper that my inspiration came from is Lullaby Designer Series Paper. I often look at DSP to guide me with how I want a card to "come together"
Today's card is a good old A-2 card but I cut 1" off the bottom to change it up a bit. I forget about doing this but I knew that this sentiment would be perfect to stamp across the bottom! The Fabulous Four Stamp Set is a keeper and it worked perfectly with today's card.
The other star of the day is the Bouquet Bigz L Die…I know that these are a bit $$$ but when you think if how you can use them over and over again…they are keepers!
I can honestly say that there are very few Dies that are retired that I do not keep. WHY??? Because I find that "dies" always have a little special touch to them that can really step up a card. This die was introduced in the Occasions catalog.
To add the fun and finale to the envelope – easy-peasy (thanks to our DSP)…a quick covering of the back flap works every time!
I hope that you have fun playing with these colors…and I hope that you will submit you work of art to the Pals Paper Art Challenge, (If you need help – please email me) and I will be happy to help!
Please come back tomorrow…we have LOTS to talk about the NEW In Colors! My order is coming today and I am super excited to play!
Exciting times with Stampin' Up….I am doing the Happy Dance!

Good Morning and I am sorry that this post is coming to you late today but yesterday was a day that I am glad is behind me! In the end – all is good but I had a computer issue and hopefully today will feel like a breeze!
FUN is in the air as this is the 1st time that Stampin' Up! has permitted us to share with you a "sneek peak" of what we were able to order yesterday and the FUN news is that YOU can do the same but even get a better deal than I did.
HOW can that be? Well, hit that EASY BUTTON as you will be able to add the new products to your take a test drive kit! Just pick $125.00 worth of NEW fun products and only pay $99.00 plus it ships for free! (That is better that I was able to do)
Below you will find 3 (File's of FUN) for you to see…on Saturday I teased you with a sneak peek of the new In Colors but these will really get your engines rolling!
I am over the moon with the new In Colors and I am excited to get them in my hands and play (My order will be here tomorrow) so on Friday I will be able to share some new fun!
Please feel free to email me if you have any questions about the ins & outs of taking a test drive. You honestly have nothing to lose and trust me, if you want to do just this one order and be done….GREAT WITH ME – I'll still be here and I know that you & I will still be stamping and having fun…
Here is a FUN fact that will make you scratch your head and see the light…your 1st order after getting your kit, you have a 1 time opportunity to get a 30% discount off of you total order – how SWEET is that!!!
You can already get some of the NEW sneak products today and then when the NEW Catalog goes live on June 2nd, you can really have fun (once again, you will get a better deal than I can)
Guess what today is…3 years ago today I joined Stampin' Up! I thought I was going to get the kit…take advantage of the 30% discount and be done.
Once I saw the positive and "feel good" response from the PALS…I feel like I have a family from all over the USA. Being a part of Mary Fish's team is an amazing experience and I would be honored and thrilled to have you on this ride with me.
I feel like I have learned from the best and the resources that the PALS offers is endless and fun.

If you are a die-hard Stampin' Up! customer already…I want you to do this – we will always have a friendship and I know that many might think – Why would you want a current customer to do this? EASY – I want to give you the best opportunity for you…
I love what I do and I love helping you…it's that easy!

Good morning and you know what today it….it's a super special day for (2) reasons:
- Today is the day of the Week that Stampin' Up! offers us a weekly deal for a group of products at a 25% discount – HANDS DOWN – my pick of the week is the 2" circle punch but the hand-held punches are right behind – perfect timing for today's card as I used the hand-held punch for the dot if paper in the flower!
- We (SUD's) get to pre-order a select group of NEW Products!
Here is comes….a WOOT-WOOT – Very exciting time but lets get to this super cute card – it's a keeper and a great layout to have fun with DSP!
The (2) stamps set that I used are both classics..why – easy-peasy as there are simple , clean and so versatile! It is Perfect Pennant and from the Occasions catalog, Petal Potpourri. You can click on the images in the "scrolling store" to preview them and I am sure you will agree…they are keepers!
The card is a 4 1/4" square card and the recipe is so simple! Layering is the name of the game (I am sure that you cold save paper and piece it together) but sometimes, time talks!
The very vanilla is 4" and then then DSP is 3 1/2" X 4". The sentiment does has a framelit to match, the banners, but I was lazy and just did a quick snip!
Because the flower stamp comes as a bundle – (Woot-woot) – this is a 1-2-3 focal point….stamp – punch – adhere!
I added some dimensionals behind and used the Bermuda bay bakers twine to make some whimical loops to add some interest! MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
OOPS….I forgot to add the DSP I used and when I went to add it – the scrolling store came up twice! (sorry) – but you can see that the "Flashback DSP" is a great collection! I adore how it blends well with the very vanilla and I am super happy that we will see more papers like this!
If you want to take a test drive with Stampin' Up! and have fun plus save please email me and I can talk to you about how you can build your own kit with the NEW products in the pre-order….yep – the new goodies…I personally cannot wait to get my hands on the new In colors ink and papers! WOOT-WOOT!
You can pick $125.00 worth of ANY products…pay just $99.00 (plus free shipping) and guess what – you'll be super happy! WOOT-WOOT for the weekly deals (these can be added to your kit) and then get ready for inspiration to the max with being a Pal!
Here is to a FUN day! Until tomorrow – it's a PALS Blog Hop!
