Get all of the details on my upcoming Virtual Stamp and Craft BOGO sale!

Stampin’ Up!’s new Annual Catalog debuts June 3. To make room for new goodies, I’m cleaning out the retired. Join me for my first Virtual BOGO Stamp Set and Craft Sale.
How it works: I’ll post a list of available products here at 8 a.m. Pacific Time, Thurs., June 4. Look for Stampin’ Up! stamp sets, dies/framelits, ribbon, embossing folders, etc.
You email me a list of the retired items you’d like. I’ll send you an email with the total. Within 24 hours, you place an order online at kimquade.stampinup.net using the Host Code I give you, paying for the order with your credit card. The order (before shipping and tax) must be equal to or greater than the value of the BOGO merchandise.
Items are available on a first-come basis, determined by the time at which I receive each email.
Within 24-48 hours of receiving your online order, I’ll mail you the retired items you requested. As my gift to you, I’ll pay for the postage to ship the retired goodies to you.
So, you’re getting the retired items FREE when you purchase an equal amount of product from the new catalog. Please shop within 24 hours, or the items will be returned to the available list.
If you’ve purchased from me in the last six to nine months, I’ve sent you a catalog via Stampin’ Up!’s mailing program. If you aren’t currently working with another person, I’d love to be your Stampin’ Up! demonstrator. Just shoot me an email, and I’ll get a catalog to you. Otherwise, check back on June 3 for a link to the PDF.
Local to Mesa, Arizona, and want to shop in person? Contact me, and I’ll schedule a time to shop. Questions? Please contact me: 402-617-7955 or email: [email protected].

Beginning June 3 and running through June 30, receive an additional free bundle of your choice when purchasing Stampin’ Up!’s Starter Kit. Choose $125 worth of product for just $99 (it’s all shipped free) AND get a free bundle — whether it be a stamp/punch combo or a stamp/die offering.
Once you purchase the Starter Kit, you receive a minimum 20 percent discount on all orders you place, and you have an opportunity to earn a little income if your friends and relatives purchase from you, too.
In addition, you become a part of a larger stamping community. I invite all of my team members to join my team-only Facebook page where we celebrate accomplishments and share card samples. You also become part of a larger Stampin’ Up! community and get the perks available to all demonstrators, such as sneak peeks of products and catalogs and a chance to preoroder fun and exciting products.
More Stampin’ Rewards

During the month of June, host a qualifying party of $250 or more (or place an $250 order) and receive an additional $25 in Stampin’ Rewards. That gives you a total of $40 in FREE product. What a great opportunity to get your hands on new products or stock up on those must-haves. Feel free to shop directly from my online store or contact me
Thanks for stopping by today! Happy stamping!

Today I’m sharing a card sample made with the Beautiful World stamp set and suite.
I’m so excited for you to see Stampin’ Up!’s new 2020-2021 Annual Catalog. (If you’ve ordered from me during the past six to nine months, I’ve used Stampin’ Up!’s mailing selector to send you a catalog via US mail. If you’re not currently working with a demonstrator, I’d love to get one of these beauties into your hands. And, if you’re local to Mesa, Arizona, I’ll be handing these to you when I see you next.)
The catalog debuts June 3 and is available for viewing beginning at noon Mountain Time. Check back here for a direct link to view the PDF.
World of Good Suite
As a demonstrator (if you love craft supplies and rubber stamping, you should really consider purchasing the starter kit), I received the opportunity to preorder a selection of products from the upcoming catalog. You may have seen some of my creations using Stampin’ Up!’s new In Colors. See that post here.
This card features a host of new products, including:
- Beautiful World stamp set
- World of Good Specialty Designer Series Paper
- Old World Paper 3D Embossing Folder
- Brass Foil Sheets
- Misty Moonlight Ribbon
I must say, the new Brass Foil embossed with the Old World Paper 3D Embossing Folder is just gorgeous. I look forward to using this folder on other papers! Enjoy browsing through and marking the pages of your catalog when you receive it.

Welcome to the Stampin’ Friends Blog Hop where I’m sharing a Geared Up Garage card sample.

Thanks for joining us on our blog hop today! Today, we showcase cards and projects created for the men in our lives. Visit all of the blogs and leave a comment. I’ve posted a list at the end of the post.
Geared Up Garage Card Sample

I’m excited this stamp set (Geared Up Garage) and its coordinating Garage Gears Dies carry over into Stampin’ Up!’s new 2020-2021 Annual Catalog. The catalog debuts June 3. Look for a lot of fun, new product. (Hint: If you love this bundle and love a discount, purchase it now with a 10 percent discount. It won’t be available as a discounted bundle in the new catalog.)
A few pointers about today’s card. I:
- embossed Silver Foil with the Hammered Metal embossing folder. What a cool look!;
- stamped the car in Memento Ink and colored with Real Red, Smoky Slate, and Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends;
- die cut the gears in Basic Black card stock; and
- stamped the background “smoke” image with Smoky Slate.


Geared Up Garage Sample-Gift Pouch

Stampin’ Up!’s Acetate Card Boxes make great gift packaging. (Get 10 of them for $7.) This holds a Norwex cleaning cloth, perfect for shining up dad’s vehicle. These boxes are designed to hold cards and envelopes, but I dressed this up to create a unique presentation.
Using the card’s theme, I included a piece of Silver Foil and embossed it with the Hammered Metal 3D embossing Folder. I added the car and gear elements and topped it off with a piece of Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon. Super cute and super easy.
Follow along the hop using the list below! Enjoy!
Thanks for stopping by today.
