Sunday Share - Forever Friends Makes Such Pretty Cards!

 

Introducing the New Forever Friends Kit

Are you the kind of crafter who sometimes likes to have everything together so you can start making your cards right away?? Or do you want something to work on while you watch your kids games? Or do you like taking a project to the cabin or while camping? Then our crafting kits are the perfect answer for you - and today I'm sharing the latest addition to the kits collection available on my website.

The Forever Friends Kit includes everything you need to create eight beautiful floral all-occasion friendship cards, detailed with Old Olive foil accents and it's so reasonable at only $29 for the whole kit!

Your kit contains everything you need to make 8 cards (2 each of 4 designs) measuring 5½" x 4¼", with coordinating preprinted envelopes decorated with Old Olive foil. With printed card bases, Old Olive foil die cuts, die cut labels, and Calypso Coral twine you'll be able to get creating straight away. 

The Forever Friends Photopolymer Stamp Set includes sentiment stamps that will help you send kind words of support, appreciation, and encouragement to any one that needs a boost and it's yours to use on any future cards you make too.  A Night of Navy Classic Stampin' Spot is included, and other coordinating Stampin’ Up! colours are Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive, and Petal Pink.  Also included is a clear stamp block, and enough adhesive to complete your projects. You can grab one of your own stamps if you want to change up the greetings in any of our kits - it's so easy to make each card your own!

Your kit is packaged in a 9 ⅞" x 6 ½" x 1 ¾" printed designer box for storage or crafting on-the-go! These boxes are perfect to use later for smaller gifts and they are sturdy for mailing too. While I haven't got the Forever Friends kit yet, I've seen several samples online and the foil accents are really striking - you won't be sorry to have this kit to work on!

Don’t forget to check out the full range of kits that are available at any time in my online store and a reminder that the Last Chance Sale is still on and you can grab some good deals on products before they retire forever!  Use my current Host Code 4WKVCUNQ when you shop my online store and get in my draws at the end of each month for shared Host Rewards - so much fun!

Sunday Share - A New Sketch Challenge Just For You!

Happy Sunday - time for a sketch challenge to help you get creative . . . sometimes we need that little jump start to get the ideas flowing and sketches are a great way to help you out! You can use the sketch as it is, turn it on it's side or upside down, or change up the elements as you want . . .  it's your card you are making and the sketch is to use as you wish!

This sketch comes from page 58 of the Spring Mini (yes, it will soon be retired) and I liked the layering on the Kraft Gift Box the concept artist shared but decided to try using it on the Kraft Notecards and Envelopes pack instead. 

This pack actually comes with it's own box that you make up, then you can add some decorated notecards and you've got a gift ready to go!   The Kraft Notecards and Envelopes pack will be carried over into the new Annual Catalogue - yay!

I did use some of the Enjoy The Journey DSP, Three Twine Combo Pack and Enamel Sticker Icons as well as the sentiments from the Greatest Journey Stamp Set in case you want to get them.  The dies are sadly sold out. Take a closer look and you will see where I stamped the background on the notecard base, and on the front of the envelope.  In the picture below you can see the strip of DSP I added to the back of the envelope flap. It's a great way to use up the strips you find on your desk and ties the card and envelope together too. 

You can share your sketch cards on my Facebook page or send me a message - I'd love to see what you do with the sketch!

The Last Chance items have been selling out for both retiring catalogues - the 2022-2023 Annual and the 2023 Spring Mini - so if you still have some items you want then check my online store and order right away. Use my current Host Code 4WKVCUNQ to get in on the draws at the end of the month - it's a fun time when the wheel picks your name to share in the rewards!

Happy stamping!

Sunday Share - An Awesome Colour Refresh For You!

Happy Easter Sunday to each of you - hoping you get to share lots of hugs, good eats and chocolate treats too over this weekend! 

Last week I promised I would share all the new colour awesomeness happening in our Stampin' Up! world - I know it's always hard to say good-bye to many favourite colours BUT it's also fun to welcome some new fresh colours and welcome back some favourites from a few years ago - are you ready?? 

Here's a quick video from Stampin' Up! to give you an idea of what is going away, what is coming in and how the colours will all line up in each of the families - 

And here are some graphics to show more clearly what is in each of the colour families! 

If you are looking at some of the new colours and wondering which ones you want to buy to add to your collection starting May 2nd then I recommend buying the cardstock assortment packs, and the assortment pack of Stampin' Write markers. That way you can find out as you go along which ones you'd like to buy full packs of cardstock and the ink pads (with reinkers) and the markers give you the same great coverage on your stamps that you get with the full size ink pads. The markers have been refreshed too and are a new and improved version for both the fine tip and the brush end.

Here's a quick look at the new 2023 - 2025 In Color collection too - it's going to be a great group for the next two years! 

If you don't live close to me then I've set up mailing direct from Stampin' Up! for the new Annual Catalogue and it should arrive the end of April.  If you live nearby I will have a few at the house for you to arrange pick up or drop off. 

I know this is a long post for a Sunday read but wanted to put all the info in for you - and do check the retiring list online and order what you want from the retiring Annual and Spring catalogues before they are gone forever!! (My PDF files from last week do not get updated so looking at my online store for what you want is the best way to shop and know you can get your items sent direct to you.)    Use this link to look and shop too! And remember to use my current Host Code in the Checkout window (it's always at the top of the sidebar on my blog) so you can get in my shared Host Reward draws at the end of the month! 

I'm hoping to have my pre-order soon so I can share some of my products with you - meanwhile enjoy the peeks you are getting online 😉

Happy stamping!

Sunday Share - Last Chance Shopping Starts April 4th! And Retiring Colours Too!

If you haven't noticed, there is a lot going on in my stamping world the past few days - Stampin' Up! posted a digital copy of the upcoming Annual Catalogue starting May 2nd for demonstrators only.  At the same time they released their Last Chance list of retiring products from the current Annual Catalogue as well as the Spring Mini Catalogue - that's A LOT of products going soon!! The best part is that some are discounted up to 60% so you can grab them by heading to my online store starting midnight April 4th - once you've made up your shopping list! 

I know many items will be super popular so think about what you use all the time that's on the retiring list and try to get it now instead of waiting until the end of the month . . . .  I'd check out all the retiring In Colors products as well as the colours retiring from the core collection this year as we are getting a colour refresh with many new and returning colours joining the main colour families! If you loved Fresh Freesia for the past two years then you will be super excited to know it is coming back as part of the core collection in May!!

Here's the colours that we are saying good-bye to and next week I'll highlight the new ones coming in - there are some really pretty new shades that I know you will love to use! And Stampin' Up! has all the coordinating re-inkers, coloured cardstock,  Designer Series Papers and Embellishments ready to make your next projects shine!

Meanwhile if you fell in love with any of these retiring colours shown above - pick up the products you need to coordinate with what you have and you'll be able to continue creating with your favourite items for a long time! 

Here's my shopping link again for you and if you use my current Host Code listed on the sidebar of my blog then you can get in the draws for shared Host Rewards at the end of each month - March's winners were Corrine, Anna and Ursula - Congrats ladies!! 

Any questions?? Let me know how I can help you - I'm happy to get a message, email or call from you anytime you need more information or have a question on how to do your project! 

Happy stamping!
