Sandy's Stampin' Safari!! On the hunt for the perfect Stampin' Up! project? Look no further, it is here!

A scrapbook page made using Designer Series Paper

Did you notice that there are three packs of patterned paper that are a touch more money? That is because they are thicker and have a texture to them.

One of those papers is Rockabilly. This paper is awesome!

Here is a scrapbook page that was made using that paper.

Do you like the scallop edge of the paper? The neat thing – that is one of the papers in the pack. No cuttin', no punchin', it is just that way J.

Another card using patterned paper – and an introduction to Spanish sets

Brightly colored flowers and a splash of pizzazz make this congratulatory card one to remember!

This card uses the Frases Básicas stamp set. This is one of our new Hispanic sets.

Enjoy this layout – it is an easy one to duplicate. Consider getting out your punches and using them. Or, your Big Shot. The possibilities are endless!

Retirement Party Rescheduled

Due to the retirement list coming out so early, the Retirement party planned for June 18 will not happen – it will be replaced with a NEW CATALOG BLAST party in July.  Watch the June newsletter next week for dates!!!  Are you signed up for my newsletter?  If not, do so now!

Retired Lists Are A Comin'

Monday,  June 1st.  Yikes, what a day that will be!  All of the retired items for this catalog will be released.  Retired stamps, retired accessories, everything!  And, if you have been around for previous retired lists, you know that when the items are gone, they are gone!  My suggestion – order ASAP so you do NOT miss out!!

I will be having a special for the month – for every order – get a gift certificate for 25% of your order (of retiring products).  That gift certificate can be “spent” in July on things in the new catalog.  Fun, fun!!  For example, place a $50 order of retiring product, you will get a gift certificate for $12.50.  Spend $200 on retiring products, get a $50 gift certificate.

The special goes for the whole month of June on ALL orders, but remember, the supplies of retired items is limited.  Order soon for best selection!

Orders can be placed directly with me, online, or at a party.  Whatever works!

Orders can include retiring and non-retiring products – only the retiring product totals will be figured in for the gift certificate amount.  Gift certificate amounts will be subtracted from order total (just like cash) when they are used.

 

Contact me for more information or visit my Stampin' Up! website starting June 1st.

How about Christmas in May?

Better late than never, right? Or, a lot ahead. However you want to look at it.

Here is my Christmas card. Actually, they went out before the first of the year. So, they weren't too late J. I put a lot of time into them and had a great time making them.

 

I ran all of these pieces through my Big Shot with the Top note die. Pretty cool! I punched a hole in them with the Crop a dile and put them in the mail. yeah!!

Enjoy! And, Merry Christmas J.
