Hello My Dear Stamping Friends,

I finally have the catalog/paper shares figured out.   I drove poor Jim to drink as I confused myself and asked him to help me figure it out. He had to have a little scotch.

The details of the shares are listed below.

These are all beautiful and some include ribbon and embellishments.  You’ll have a great sampling of most of the papers, ribbons, and embellishments. There are 11 shares:  10 of them are $10 each, and the one with 143 6 x 6 pieces of paper is $50. If you purchase all 11 shares, I’ll send you a set of the new In Color markers (value $17.24 value).  I’ll post pictures of the suites on Wednesday when Stampin’ Up! allows it.  I’ve also given you the catalog page numbers.

If you purchase at least $50 of these shares, you’ll qualify for the 4-card package that I’ve been sending out each month.  This month we’ll feature By the Dock & the Jar of Flowers bundles.  I’ll post pictures, on my blog, of this month’s cards as soon as they’re created.

The deadline for you to let me know that you want to purchase shares is Sunday, June 7, 2020.  I’ll get them out to you as soon as possible after that.  If there are back orders, we can talk and decide what to do about them.

If you want to use your credit card, I’ll need to use it when I place the order.

You won’t be able to use this purchase for your club order; I’m sorry, but there’s no way that I can make it work.

You’ll be so excited to receive these shares—they will help you decide which ones that you want to purchase individual packages of.

If you have any questions, please let me know: call or text—303-888-1862 or call—303-674-6435.

I hope that stamping during our covid stay-at-home time makes your day more enjoyable, and that you’re sending cards to your family and friends to make their days better.  Think of the enjoyment they’re getting when they open their mail.

I appreciate you every day; thank you so much, Pat

Debbie put the cards together for us and they are beautiful and very simple.  She will have the Big Shotting done for you. (We are social distancing—she came up yesterday and we sat outside.  It was very windy and pretty chilly, but we were very glad to see each other and we exchanged stamping stuff and books.)  I’ll get the pictures and directions for the cards out a bit later.

When I took the picture of each card, I made sure that the envelope showed.  Whatever is on the outside of the envelope is what’s on the inside.

Ornate Garden Mint Macaron Card with Little Flowers DSP

Original by Cathy Harker

The designer paper makes these cards very easy.

Stamp the flowers on the front panel, the inside panel, and the envelope.  When coloring the envelope with blends, put a piece of paper inside the envelope so that the blends can’t bleed through to the back.

The greeting is stamped using the Terracotta Tile pad, and the flowers are colored with Lt Calypso Coral & Lt & Dk Mint Macaron Blends as well as the Terracotta Tile marker.

The only piece that has dimensionals under it is the white one.  Everything else is just attached with snail.

The bow is attached with a glue dot.

Hello My Dear Stamping Friends,

In anticipation of the new catalog, Stampin' Up! has announced the retiring lists:

This PDF file is the retiring list for the annual catalog:  2020 0422 Retiring Big Catalog

The items for May 27 will be a surprise for all of us.  (I probably won't be able to get the last day's sale out to you very early as that's the day of Jim's surgery.)  You'll be able to see the list for the 27th early that dat by going to www.stampinlady.com and clidking on "Shop Now".

The sale that lasts all week includes items with prices which are discounted by 10% to 50%. 

Please us hostess code:  KH9D7MYB when you place your order unless it is over $150 in which case you may claim the hostess benefits for yourself.

2017 1115 Online Extravaganza Item List Flyer US

If your order is $50 or more, please let me know what color stamp pad that you’d like for me to send you FREE of charge.  If your order is $75 or more, I’ll send you a package of whisper white envelopes FREE of charge.  If your order is $150 or over, I’ll send you both of these gifts.  (Now, I have to admit that I probably already owe some of you a gift for your orders and I don’t know who.  I’m so sorry.  I’ll try to keep track of these.  If I owe you something, please let me know and I’ll send it to you.)

Hugs to each of you, Pat

Hello My Friends,

I AM SO EXCITED!  I’ve been waiting and waiting for Stampin’ Up! to release this type of tool.

Stampin’ UP! announced some of the details while we were at the event we just came home from and the rest of the details Monday morning,

We now have a stamp positioning tool.  It’s called a Stamparatus.  It’s absolutely different and way better than anything else on the market.  It has two clear plates that your stamps will attach to.  These plates are repositionable and reversible.  Two of the sides of the Stamparatus are open so that you can use larger pieces of card stock in it.  With the two repositionable plates, you have 4 surfaces that you can use.  And, it’s only $49.

With any amount of luck, I’ll put a video of this wonderful tool into this post.

It’s going to be sold differently than anything we’ve ever had:  tomorrow, November 16, we’ll all be able to reserve one of these magical tools, and we’ll receive it around February 1^st, while supplies last.

The reservation process starts at 2:00 p.m. tomorrow, Thursday, November 16.  To reserve yours, sign in to the Stampin’ UP website, www.stampinup.com.  You’ll see a “Reserve” button.  Click on that.  It’s very easy to reserve; you will need your credit card.  You may need my demonstrator ID number in order for me to get credit for your sale when it ships.  My number is 20209.

The reservations dates will be listed below and each one comes with the warning: while supplies last.

Reservation Dates                                          Available to ship

November 16-30                                             Approx. February 1, 2018

December 5-30                                               Approx. March 19, 2018

January 15-30, 2018                                       Approx. April 15, 2018

You may reserve now, and pay for it when it becomes available to you.  You’ll receive an email just before it ships and you’ll be able to add anything you want to your order.   Therefore, you’ll qualify for Sale-a-Bration rewards.  (February & March delivery dates only.)

You may only reserve one, but you can reserve one for each of the reservation dates.

This would make a wonderful Christmas gift.  The way I do this kind of Christmas gift is to print off a picture of the product and then add a small gift that they’ll have on Christmas day so they have something right then.  Think how excited your loved ones will be when they see what you’ve given them!

If you order one of these wonderful tools during the first reservation period using my information, I’ll  send you a package of Rhinestone Basic Jewels, shown on page 197 of the regular catalog.  You will need to let me know that you’ve reserved it as I won’t have that info until you receive the Stamparatus. 

I’ve been SO excited since I saw the Stamparatus last Thursday.  I didn’t have any of the details, but I fell in love with it.  Please watch the video; it really is amazing.

If you have any questions, please let me know. I love to talk stamping.  Text or cell 303-888-1862.  Home 303-674-6435.  Or, you may email me at pat@stampinlady.com.

Excitedly stamping and hugs to you.

Pat

Hello Stamping Friends,

Jim & I have been having a getaway and we’ve enjoyed it so much.  Jim taught a class in Los Angeles and then we’ve been vacationing.

We spent one day touring the USS Midway—what a fabulous thing to do.  I loved it and Jim loved it even more as he was checking all of the mechanical systems out.  I even got to do a little gambling in Primm, Nevada, on our way to visit some of Utah’s National Parks.

We had visited these parks before, but we knew we wanted to see them again.  We visited Zion, Bryce, and Capitol Reef.  If you haven’t seen them, I highly recommend that you work them into your vacation plans sometime.  We think Utah is a little-known gem.

And now, we’re just taking it easy for a couple of days and then we'll be in Salt Lake City for Stampin’ Up!’s On Stage (we used to call it convention).  I can’t wait.  Every event that Stampin’ Up! presents is always SO much fun and we learn so much.

While Jim was teaching one day, I decided it was time to break out my new Blends that just became available for purchase on November 1.  They are absolutely wonderful.  I’ll show you what I colored a little later in this post.  Anyway, they are so smooth.  I started out by coloring one leaf with the light shade and then another close leaf in the dark shade.  After I finished that, I started blending.  

Here’s what I colored:

For the blending, I put down the light color of the duo, added highlights with the dark color, and then I used the light one to blend.  It was so easy and I love the look.  One of the next things I want to do is make the cards that are in the kit that’s available for purchase.

The 12 x 12 designer paper that I used is called Just Add Color.  I had so much fun coloring it and now I can cut it up and layer it on to cards.  Love it!  I think it will be so fun to see what colors I’ve used in each cut piece and then decide what color card stock I want to use for the card.

The Blends are available individually or as a set.  There’s a kit that you can purchase with the Blends as well as a stamp set.  You should use the Memento pad when using the Blends.  Each Blend is $4.50. Each Combo Pack is $9 and includes both the light & dark shades. Here’s what’s available:

Hello My Dear Stamping Friends,

I’m so excited to share a couple of cards with you and also a couple of Ghirardelli chocolate presentation ideas with you.  Scroll to the bottom to see them.

Stampin’ Up! has announced some amazing sales.  One sale flyer lists several stamp sets at a 15% discount.  Also on that flyer, Fast Fuse (adhesive runner) is shown and it’s at a fabulous price: buy one Fast Fuse for $10 and get 2 refills FREE!  This sale lasts only through October 10 for World Card Making Day.

The other flyer lists 13 packages of Designer Series paper that are Buy 3, Get one FREE.  The papers this year are so beautiful.  You may choose the most expensive one as your FREE package. (Only the papers that are listed on the flyer are included in this sale.)  The paper listed is from both the regular catalog and the Occasions catalog.  This sale lasts for the month of October.

If you want to order any of these sale items or anything else, please use the host code:  KJAQC4N3.   If you place an order that is $150 or more, please don’t use the host code as you’ll then receive the host rewards yourself.  If you place an online order this month of at least $35, I’ll send you a blender pen.  If you place a $75 order online, I’ll send you a package of the new black rhinestones. These offers can’t be combined.

To see the items that are included in the sales, please go to www.stampinlady.com and click on Shop Now.  Then on the upper left corner, you’ll see World Card Making and Designer Paper sale.  Click on any of those and it will take you to the sale.

Please check out these sales as I don’t think you’ll want to miss them.

Stampin’ Up! is also offering two special Paper Pumpkin monthly kits.  For the months of October and November, the kits will coordinate.  They are Christmas related, but SU always surprises us with what’s actually in the boxes.

If you’d like to check out or subscribe to Paper Pumpkin, please once again go to www.stampinlady.com, click on Shop Now, and scroll down to Paper Pumpkin on the left.  If you decide to subscribe, please use my name.  You must subscribe or purchase before October 10 in order to receive the October kit (which coordinates with the November kit).

The first thing I want to show you is an acetate box (which of course we sell) filled with Ghirardelli chocolates wrapped in Year of Cheer specialty designer paper.  Patty Bennett created both of these chocolate ideas and shared them with the rest of us.  I made a set to display.

Supplies used:

Acetate Card Boxes, Occasions p. 13, 144628, 10 boxes $6.50.

I used glue dots to hold the designer paper after I wrapped it around the Ghirardelli chocolates and dimensionals to give depth to the Joy circle.

For the Ghirardelli chocolates that are stacked together, I used the same supplies as above as well as the 3/8” Silver Metallic-Edge ribbon, reg. p. 199, 144213, $7.

I held the wrapped chocolates together with glue dots and linen thread, and then wrapped the ribbon around that.

Thank you so much!  Please let me know if you have any questions.  You may text or call me on my cell at 303-888-1862 or call me at home at 303-674-6435.  I’m always ready to help.
