Good end of the week!!! This will be a short post but an important post as today is the last day for you to email me if you would like to take part of the Occasions Catalog Product Share. Please email me by 10 p.m. eastern tonight if you want to get in on the fun. (Also, please put in the subject line – PRODUCT SHARE) so I can spot it!
What is a product share? A product share is an opportunity for you to get a taste of the new products without having to break your piggy bank. What I do is take the new product and break it down into smaller quantities and then pass the opportunity on to you which in turn saves you money as you are getting a “taste” without eating the “calories”
You can click here to see the post about the Product Share offerings that I have and/or also hit the drop down box under the header of my blog that simply says “Product Shares”...I take great pride in my shares and I will expedite the shipping from Stampin’ Up! so I can turn them right around to you!
What are popular ones???
- Always the swatch books (share #1)
- The 1/2 sheets of all of the NEW papers (Share #2)
- The Designer Series Paper Stacks (Share #5 )
Last night, I sent an email confirmation to all that had emailed me this week for a request so if you did not get an email from me…please reach back out to me.
Short post today…..but tomorrow….you will see instant beauty! Enjoy the day!

Meet peepers! She is a part of the Hey Chick’s Sale-a-bration Stamp set and let me tell you…..peepers is happy that she is not in the egg carton! (I told her that she never has to worry about being a fried egg sandwich)
O.k. – I am just getting this out there right off the bat – I LOVE THIS CARD! It “cracks” me up (sorry peepers) and I think that this is a great card to say a “WAY TO GO“…..”THINKING OF YOU“….or just a good old fashion “HELLO“! 😀
We have been having lots of fun with the Hey Chicks Stamp Set and I still need to feature the other hen…but trust me, I’ll do it! This SAB item has been soooooooo popular!
Speaking of being SUPER popular and it is on backorder…today is the last day that you will be able to order the Watercolor Pencils before Stampin’ Up! flicks the switch to say that they are not order-able (kind of like they had to do with the stitched framelits) as these pencils have been SUPER POPULAR and if I were you…..I would HIT THAT PAW PRINT and get them now.
This is from the home office in regard to the pencils :
- In order to give you time to contact your customers so they may close any affected orders, this product will remain available until Thursday, January 26 at 12:00 PM (MT); it will then be placed in not-orderable status.
So the moral of this pencil story is….order them this morning this way you will be assured that you will get them (even if they say that they are on back-order) – once they go to not-orderable…..there is no tellin’ when they will be available. 😕
Speaking of the pencils, remember…if your order is $75 + I will send you a set of the blender pens. These work great with this watercolor pencils and they are like “magic” – swipe the end back and forth and it is clean and good to go! Please use the hostess code of S4WKPUZG
Let’s get to peepers…..this is a note card size (3 1/2″ X 5″) and they are a great bang for your buck! Just $6.00 for 20 cards and envelopes….I say – BRING IT ON!
I simply cover the entire front with the sweet DSP from the Sending Love DSP Stack and I had plenty to adhere to the outside of the envelope.
Let’s chat about this stamp set – Perfect Mix…I bet that many of you thought – WHAT THE HECK when you saw it…well I said – COME HOME TO RANDALL LANE…..I LOVE to cook and I love the fact that you can have fun with the “pun” sentiments. This type of stamp set is very on trend right now, there are several other companies out there with a similar product – I think that it is super fun and fresh!
I know that you like sizes and I get it….when I see a card that I want to CASE – wow…sizes make me smile! The size of the thick whisper white is 3 3/4″ X 2 3/4″ and then I matted it with just a “peep” of black to help the POP!!!! (again, sorry peepers…you won’t end up at the grocery store and get cracked)
After using the Black Archival Ink all I did was simply use the watercolor pencils with the blender pens – it is as simple as that but here you go again, simple WORKED….simple is CUTE and face it – SIMPLE IS JUST SIMPLE!
She is one happy little chick and I am excited to send her out! I think that I am going to make up a bunch of these to keep on hand – they are just too tootin’ cute! I am excited to read your comments about the “new chick”
That it my chicks! Let’s have a great Thursday….I admit it was wonderful to see the sun shine yesterday….the blankets came off the horses and yep – they rolled and rolled in the mud and I am sure that it felt great to them! I was starting to feel like “blue cheese” with all of the rain we have been having – (at least it is not S N O W ) 😛
Again, if you are interested int he watercolor pencils, I would get them this morning as there is not tellin’ when they will be back in stock. Remember, with a $50.00 order you will be able to pick a FREEBIE SAB ITEM (perhaps these HOT CHICKS) and with a $75+ order – you get both the FREEBIE and the Blender Pens!
See you tomorrow!
p.s. – In memory of Mary Tyler Moore….what a great quote!

Happy HUMP day and I think that I have a card for you today that you are really going to like! I was doing the happy dance with this bundle, Sealed with Love but I admit, I like the framelits better than the stamp set.
I feel like the framelits can go a long way throughout the year but this is one…that I would probably go for the bundle to save the 10% and you know that the stamps would be perfect for this special day that is right around the corner!
I can remember when the preview of this catalog came out and I saw that tiny envelope….SOLD – on its way to Randall Lane as I have been itchin’ to do a card with little envelopes ever since I watched a video of Jennifer McGuire’s several years ago! I adore her style and I was super happy to make a valentine with this envelope!
I think that this is a great one for a guy using the Basic Gray and the fun and subtle DSP, A Little Foxy worked perfect. The sentiment is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes and then POPPED out with the Classic Label Punch….win – win all the way around!
I had fun with the paper I chose today! I wanted to make something that I thought would be bit toned down from the traditional Valentines Paper and I will say…I think that it is FUN! I am thrilled that Stampin’ Up! is continuing to come out with the 6 X 6 paper stacks as I think that they are soooo easy to work with!
You can actually use the framelit that looks like a note and actually write a message and tuck it in! I used a simple glue dot to seal each of the little envelopes! Aren’t they soooooooo cute!. I just think that it doesn’t get any cuter than this….what do you think!?!?!
This special day will be here in a jif…..I hope that you can see how this style of a card would be a fun one to make and also one that is great in using up scraps of paper! I just LOVE to play that personal game with myself, “SEE HOW MANY SCRAPS YOU CAN USE TODAY” – Funny it is the silly things that make me roll!
Can’t wait to see you tomorrow…..you will LOVE IT!!!! (I know you too well) 😀

Happy Tuesday and you know what today is – a tip! We have all heard the expression….if you are given lemons….find away to make Lemonade!
Know you know me by now…I am very honest an up front about how I like products, what products do I not care for and other products than Stampin’ Up! products that I find to make my Stampin’ experience better! The main thing is….to have fun and it is as simple as that!
I am going to be totally upfront….the Paper Pumpkin Kit for December was not my cup of tea….(no nasty mail please) but I found a way to make it work for ME! (I did love and appreciate the black marker…..just saying!) 😛 I like to create my families memories in a different way but I say – WOOT-WOOT as there was a BUNCH of stuff to “re-purpose”
Because we all know that Sale-A-Bration is the sweetest time of the year…..this is also a GREAT time to subscribe to Paper Pumpkin and earn Sale-A-Bration Items!
Now you might be scratching your head and saying – WHY IN THE WORLD would Susan be blogging about this if she was not crazy about what she received for a month! I say EASY ANSWERS….
- We can’t have it “our way” all of the time, people all have different tastes…
- Paper Pumpkin is a solid program that is delivered to your door every month and if you do not like it…there are ways to make it “work for you”…just like I did today.
- Paper Pumpkin is a PERFECT gift to “gift” to someone…anytime! It is a complete kit so you can have some “me time” and have fun!
During Sale-a-Bration is a perfect time to sign up for an extended membership so you can earn FREEBIES! We all love FREEBIES and there is nothing like opening up your mailbox and see that box…and then it happens…..HURRY – GET TO YOUR “SPACE” and take it ALL IN! Trust me, this happens each and every month!
Grab that next cup of coffee and watch this video….
Now is YOUR turn to see a parade of pictures on how I made this work for me. There are ALWAYS ways to make it work for you and I hope that this post not only made you smile….but also when you clicked on and saw the initial card…and then thought = Oh my, where did this come from….
I do not use the “Neutrals a bunch” as a base color (well….naturally I do use white and vanilla) but I will say, I do love Early Espresso. It is a great and solid brown that “just works” – Do you have a favorite color collection? I seem to go back and forth from the Regals to the Brights!
So I guess the moral of this Tuesday Story is…we need to make the best out of what we have.
I hope that you understand where I am coming from as there are ALWAYS ways to look at something and make it work! I am a HUGE proponent of USING WHAT YOU HAVE.…and this is what I did with this specific kit.
I will also give you an idea….IF you a Paper Pumpkin Kit that is “just not you” – donate it to a Girls Club or a Nursing Home…trust me, the joy in your heart and the smile that you will make to someone will make you easily forget that you were not a fan of that certain month….
In my opinion, Stampin’ Up! does a great job with this program and we can’t get it right all of the time….(but I will say – I LOVE JANUARY’S KIT)…..so go for it – get the rewards with the FREEBIES of Sale-A Bration……you will be a happy stamper!
The other great option with Paper Pumpkin is if you need to skip a month because “life/vacation” gets in the way – you can pause it for a month and then when you are ready….get right back where you left off! This program sure has come A LONG WAY and all in all – I say it’s a great glass of Lemonade! 😀
