Hello Stampers!
 
There’s a super cute stamp set in Stampin’ Up!’s Annual Catalog called Postcard Pals. Here, Niki Green uses that to create a birthday card. It’s available in both wood mount (#146698-$28) and clear mount (#146701-$20). The other images include a playful platypus and a delightful pelican, as well as a selection of fun sayings.
 
She used the Stampin’ Blends to color the gopher image and the rest of the scene. The blends are high-quality, dual-tip alcohol-based markers. They are available in an array of colors that coordinate with Stampin’ Up!’s current color palette. Each hue comes in a light and dark and can also be purchased as a combo. These markers are awesome for blending to add shadow and other effects.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Hello Stampers!
 
Excitement is “brewing” in anticipation of the release of Stampin’ Up!’s Holiday Catalog. You can start purchasing from it as a customer beginning September 5.
 
As a demonstrator, I was able to order items early. (I also was gifted some of them on the Stampin’ Up! incentive trip.) I used a combination of items available in the Annual Catalog with a few new items.
 
Current products: Animal Expedition Designer Series Paper, sentiment from Itty Bitty Greetings, Cat Punch, and 2 1/4-inch Circle Punch.
 
New Products: Spooky Bats Punch, Toil & Trouble Designer Series Paper. Fun fact: The bat images can be punched directly from the Designer Series Paper.
 
I’ll be mailing and handing out Holiday Catalogs the end of the month. If you don’t currently work with a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, I’ve love to send you a free copy. Please email me or leave me a comment.
 
Stampin’ Up! Bonus Days are Back
Purchase $50 in any product (before tax and shipping) and receive a $5 Bonus Days Coupon to be used toward your order in September. Collect as many codes as you like in August and redeem them all in September. Use them toward all of the fun new goodies in the Holiday Catalog. Codes will be emailed to you, so be sure your email is correct. Keep the codes in a safe place for later redemption.
 
Thanks for stopping by today.

Hello Stampers!
 
Don’t you just love the sharp look of this white card with red accents? It’s really eye-catching!
 
Angela Schmit, a stamper on my team, created this card for our swap using products from the Annual Catalog that debuted June 1. There’s just so much fun product inside its covers, it’s hard to see and use it all!
 
This card features the Stitched All Bundle, Lovely Lipstick, and the Lovely Floral Embossing Folder.
 
Thanks for stopping by today! See a list of the products Angela used to create this beauty below.

Hello Stampers!
 
I just returned from Stampin’ Up!’s incentive trip, a cruise to Alaska. It was my first incentive trip, thanks to my customers, friends, relatives, and team!
 
It was an awesome experience. Stampin’ Up! sure does know how to pamper their demonstrators.
 
One of the features of the trip (including getting an advance copy of the Holiday Catalog), was the general swap. I brought 26 cards of one design and came home with a bag of 25 awesome cards created by demonstrators from throughout the world.
 
This is the card I created for the swap. It’s a gate fold card uses the Broadway Birthday stamp set, the coordinating Broadway Lights Framelits Dies, and the Broadway Bound Specialty Designer Series Paper.
 
I’ll be sharing a look at the cards I received during a Facebook Live at 8 p.m. Central Time, Wednesday, August 1.
 
Thanks for stopping by today. See the links below for a list of products used to create this card. Contact me if you need some specific measurements. I’d be happy to help!
