So many of my favorites are going away! I was surprised to see the Fabric and our Scrapbook albums retire, plus a few of my favorite organizing supplies, like the paper holders. Not to mention all of the colors and stamps.
Time to stock up!!
These are the cards we will be stamping at Stamp Camp on Thursday (April 11, 6-9 PM, Bixby Community Center). This month we are having an All Occasion Stamp a Stack. Each stack is 5 cards of 1 design. The first stack is $7.50 and each stack after that is $5.00 or you can stamp 25 cards for $25.00. If you don’t want to stamp full stacks of cards, you can stamp one of each design for the regular camp fee of $10.00. Don’t forget to bring your favorite adhesive. You must RSVP for this Stamp Camp, please call or email me with your Stamp a Stack choices.
There will be other stamps available to make Card 4 a Thank you card.
Card 5 will have several options. The Blue Ribbon set has other sentiments so this could be a birthday, end of the school year/awards or other congratulations. There will also be an option to use the Four Season set and just make it a Spring card with any sentiment inside that you would like.
Free Shipping starts today and runs through Monday, April 8th. Head on over to my online store and take advantage of everyone’s favorite deal. NO SHIPPING FEES! Or you can call or email and I’ll be glad to place your order for you. (Excludes expedited shipping).

I am really excited about this Color Refresh! I’ll miss a couple of my favorite colors, but I am hoping for a fresher version in the upcoming New In Colors! And my beloved Blushing Bride is back!!! I get to keep using Pool Party and Calypso Coral and Island Indigo. Pear Pizzazz!!
Here is the deal though, if you want to order refills or stock up on a favorite that is going away, do it now because when they sell out they are gone for good. The Watercolor Crayons and the Watercolor pencils are retiring and also only available while supplies last.
Here is a FABULOUS reason to order soon though, FREE SHIPPING April 6-8! On anything and everything your little heart desires. Get those orders ready to go!!
I know that title doesn’t make much sense. I am covering a lot of stuff today! Several new products (a new product line!) and of course a card for you too. I’ll start with our new product line called This and That. These are wonderful little whatever books called smash books. They harken back to the old time scrapbooks which were as much about mementos as they were photos. These little books are so much more, though. You can use them for all kinds of things other than the scrapbook variety.
Use them to keep track of your redecorating or remodeling project. Make a journal to track baby’s first year, or a year in your life. Get organized for Christmas. Track your weight loss. These books are designed for quickly jotting ideas or storing photos, scraps, notes and mementos. Just tuck it in, tape it on, jot it down and smash it closed. Fast and fabulously fun!
I am not sure if you have noticed, but Stampin’ Up! is making a lot of changes lately. We are rolling out new stamps almost monthly and new products as soon as they become available, rather than waiting for the next catalog transition. I like this, and I love that it allows us to introduce trendy items and stamps almost monthly. I’ll keep links to these new items posted in my sidebar, but the trend seems to be that we will offering seasonal sets or bundles almost monthly and new single stamps every two or three months. The current batch of single stamps is about to expire and I am hoping we will see some new ones around the first of April. Here are links to the current singles, in case you want to get them before they go away on March 31st.
How about a sneak peek at at new set from the upcoming catalog? Or even better, you can purchase it now if you like. A Round Array is a fun little set with multiple sentiments and a matching 7/8″ scallop punch. Buy them separately or in a bundle at 15% off! They won’t be bundled when the new catalog comes out, so that is a good deal!
Here is the card I promised using that fun umbrella set, Rain or Shine from the Spring Catalog. The umbrellas were stamped, hand cut and popped up over the stamped handles. The paper is also from the Spring catalog, Sunshine and Sprinkles DSP.
Thanks for stopping by!

I think I reached for all of my favorite things when I was creating this card. I just can’t get enough of Hearts a Flutter and this new Honeycomb embossing folder. Primrose Petals and any blue (this one is Pool Party) seems to be my current color addiction. Obviously I could not be any more in LOVE with this More Amore DSP. Sorry, pun intended. It is necessary, sometimes, to keep all those other voices in my head entertained!
This was just basic die cutting and the only thing stamped was the sentiment, but I have a little tip for you. {TIP} To get the hexagon shapes, just run a piece of DSP through the Big Shot in the Honeycomb EF and then snip out the little inserts along the score lines! Fun stuff!!
Thanks for stopping by!
I shall be so sad when these In Colors retire! I am hoping they get a reprieve in a color update. I think I need to start a campaign to save Pool Party and Calypso Coral at least. Oh, and Lucky Limeade and Island Indigo. Sigh.
Anyway, how cute is this little set? Oh Whale. So perfect for spring and summer cards. We made this card for Stamp Camp last month, the sentiment is from Wishes Your Way, which works for the new little pinwheel die, but I think it works well with this set too. I used a bunch of other cool new tools as well. The anchors are from a matching Clearlit Sizzlet called Happy Whale. The button is from the free Sale-a-bration set of ribbons and buttons. I used the Large Scallop Edgelit to make the waves, and I can’t forget the adorable new Cloudy Day embossing folder. Fun stuff!!
Happy Stampin’

I am so excited about these stamps! We are offering them on a trial basis, if they sell well, we will continue to offer them. We will start out with images that are only available in the clear and go from there, depending on popularity.
What a perfect set to start with. It will be so easy to stamp inside the banners and bubbles with the clear letters! And yes, mine is already ordered, so I’ll be sharing more about it and some fun samples as soon as Mr. Brown drops it off! Pssst. You can order yours today, too!

These are some of my favorite prints from the More Amore Designer Series Paper in the Spring Catalog. Pretty and soft. I can’t stop putting banners on all of my cards since I got this Hearts a Flutter set of framelits. I really like how this one turned out, it uses a lot of tools, but it really goes together pretty quickly. That is what is great about having cool tools!
Thanks for looking!
This is the masculine card that we made at Stamp Camp last month for Valentines Day. I really like the way it turned out, so I used it for my Darling husband’s valentine. He loved the new technique. The technique is very simple. Add a chalkboard background by rubbing a little chalk or white ink on black or green card stock with a sponge. I like to emboss my main images using white ep to make them easier to work with. You can then add depth, detail and even color with colored pencils or our white chalk pen. Add additional elements by stamping in white ink with no embossing. Be sure to add those elements after the embossing or they will grab your powder.
Have fun trying this technique!
