Pretty In Grapefruit Grove

Have you enjoyed the projects I've shared this week from the "Gotta Have It All" bundle of products from Stampin' Up's early release on the Share What You Love Suite.  As luck would have it, I have another card from that same suite - from my very talented sister!  Enjoy!

Today is one of Stampin' Up! demonstrators favorite days of the year!  Today is the first day we can place our pre-order from the new annual catalog.  Woohoo!  It's one of those days worth getting up extra early to see which of the new products we can order.  And I, for one, was not disappointed!  Watch this space in the next couple of weeks as I get my order and start playing with my new goodies!

The idea for today's card has been nagging at me for the past several weeks.  But I didn't know exactly how I was going to do it until this week.  I am thrilled with the way it turned out.  Can't wait to see what you think!

I picked up the frame at one of the local big box craft stores.  The opening is 5 x 7,  The background Designer Series Paper is from the Share What You Love Specialty Designer Series Paper.  The letters are Rich Razzleberry, backed in Whisper White.  I used the Foam Adhesive Strips to pop them up.  As happens so many times, this is much more beautiful in person than it photographs.

Love What You Do

Stampin' Up! has made the wonderful suite of products from the new Annual Catalog, Share What You Love, available as an early release.  There are three bundles of products available to purchase, each bundle includes more product than the one preceding it.  And there are free products available in each bundle as well!  I've included the flyer detailing each of the bundles and what is included a little further down in this post.

Reminder, if you haven't left a comment on yesterday's post, do so now!  I want you to be included in the drawing for a sampler of products from the Share What You Love Suite!  If you missed that post, you can see it here.

Today I'm sharing 2 cards that I created with products from the "Gotta Have It All" bundle.  Wait until you see this designer series paper,  Not only is it beautiful, but its a nice heavier weight paper.  And the pearlized accents so unique!

This card is a Z fold.  The greeting is adhered to one of the new pearlized doilies.

This is a little 3 x 3 card.  Perfect as a gift enclosure,

Click the image above to see the flyer in full size.

I know you are looking forward to seeing the new catalog.  I've ordered them.  If you are not local, yours will come in the mail.  If you are local, please plan to attend one of my open house events to join in the fun and pick up your copy!   Check my calendar for the dates and times!

Introducing the 2018-2020 In Colors! and a Giveaway!

It is finally time to introduce you to the new 2018-2020 In Colors!  And, it's time to introduce you to the new stamp pad cases.  I've been using Stampin' Up products for more years than I can count, and this is only the second time in all those years that I can remember the actual case changing.  Personally, I really like the new case, they are a little smaller and more compact that the current case.  Plus, they stack!  Woohoo!  What a bonus.  Before I get too far ahead of myself, ( I have so much to share today), let's look at the colors and their cases.

Pretty colors, don't you agree?  And if you have the current color caddy for stamp pads, these new pads will fit, just not as snugly as the retiring cases.

And because they are new cases, they open differently.  Instead of pushing the top away from you to open, the new cases open like a compact.  I even filmed a little video to show you.  (No talking on this one, but you can hear breathing, so if your sound is up, you may want to mute)!  And who knows, now that I've done my "first video", if I can find my mount to hold my phone, I may get the bug to do more!  Note:  when you get your new stamp pad cases, they will be tight.  That's a good thing!  they will loosen up as you use them more.

I also made some cards to show off each of the new colors.  I'll talk about the stamp set and embellishments after I show all the cards.

The stamp set and the embellishments for all of these cards are from the new Share What You Love Suite of products.  This suite was created to commemorate Stampin' Up!'s 30th anniversary this year.  Even though they are included in the new annual catalog beginning May 1.  In addition to the products in this great new suite, the new In Colors will also be available for purchase!  Woohoo!

I'll have more information on the new product suite tomorrow, but to close out today, here is a short video from Stampin' Up! to introduce you to the new products and the various purchase options.





Leave a comment - which is your favorite of the new In Colors?  Do you love the new Designer Series Paper in the Share What You Love Suite?  And most importantly, do you think I have a future as a video star?  LOL!  For everyone that takes a moment to leave a comment, I will have a drawing on May 5, 2018.  The winner will receive a sampler of products from the Share What You Love suite.  Thanks for hanging in there to read this far and thanks for stopping by today!  (Note:  winner must have a mailing address in the United States)

Wow, it was a beautiful weekend around here this past weekend!   I sure hope it's a sign that spring is finally here! We got a lot of yard work done and even got some of the "early" vegetables planted in the garden.  Woohoo!!!

In the midst of making items for the upcoming vendor/craft shows, I've been working on Mother's Day cards for the store in town that carries my card.  The local merchants are having a special event in 2 weeks and the want to have have a good supply of Mother's Day cards on hand.  So, this week, I'm sharing some of the cards I've made for them.

First up is an eclipse card I made with the stunning new Designer Series Paper, Share What You Love.  Much more coming up about that next week...you won't want to miss it!  But for now, here's my card.
