Bouquet Blooms Bundle
Today we are headed out on a camping trip but I wanted to wish you all a wonderful day and post a youtube product introduction from the home office. Did you notice the Bouquet Blooms Bundle on page 167 of the new Annual Catalog? It is a unique gate fold card with the framelit dies doing much of the work for you.

Isn’t that so cool!!
Did you ever wonder how the designer series paper is created? Here is a short video showing the process for our new Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper:
Amazing!!

Graceful Glass Vellum Bookmarks & Delightfully Detailed Suite
Hello Stamping Friends,
A new catalog year has started and Stampin’ Up! is celebrating their 30th birthday! It is great to be part of a company that keeps on keeping on (and keeping up with modern trends)!
Thank you for supporting the catalog launch on Friday and Saturday and the craft sale. All the left over products that didn’t sell are now in a new tab on this blog that I titled “Bake Sale”.
The new hostess code is C2HE3X22. Our bimonthly club is July 10th and guests are welcome for $5 or a $25 order placed between now and July 10th.
For the make and take at the catalog launch I displayed several new products and the favorite was the Delightfully Detailed Laser-cut paper shown on pages 38-39. It is part of the Delightfully Detailed suite. Our wonderful home office has compiled a set of videos introducing the new catalog products and this is the video that showcases the paper we all loved.
Click here to see all the new products-the paper is toward the end:
Of course, at every catalog launch we must make a ‘traditional’ bookmark for our catalogs and a color chart with the new In Colors so we can actually see them, punch them – love them! The bookmarks used the In Colors and the Graceful Glass Designer Vellum #146344, page 165.
The ribbon is 5/8″ Polka Dot Tulle in Whisper White, #146912, and various baker’s twine including the new Nature’s Twine #146342 which has the Grapefruit Grove color-see pages 200-201.
- Bookmark Base = 2″ X 7″ punched at the top with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch #133324
- Whisper White for behind the vellum = 1 1/2″ X 6″
- Vellum = 1 1/2″ X 6″ (except the yellow roses which are 1 1/4″ X 5 1/2″)
- Black for the yellow roses = 1 1/2″ X 5 3/4″
The color charts use a 3/4″ length of cardstock punched with the retired banner punch.
To make vellum bright white, rub the backside of the vellum with a stylus #126189 on the Stampin’ Pierce Mat #126199:
It also gives a 3D look and feel.
The color charts all had to be redone for the color revamp. This year I added a few extra color charts to compare color families.
Brights; Neutrals; Basics;
Blues and Grays; Reds and Pinks;
Purples and Browns; Oranges and Yellows; Greens;
We have 13 greens so the last two had to be split.
There are twelve Color Charts. Email me if you would like the Excel spreadsheet or if you would like to order a set of cards. I will make them up for you for $8 – pick up at my house; or $10 -mailed within the USA. email: [email protected]
Contact me if you would like a catalog, I would love to earn your business and be your demonstrator.
SAL,
Karen
Annual Catalog for June 2018-May 2019
Hello Stamping Friends,
The new catalog is active! We are celebrating 30 years of loving what we do and sharing what we love as we help you enjoy creativity and worthwhile accomplishments…making a difference in your life and in lives worldwide! (Karen’s paraphrase of our Statement of the Heart!)

Here in Castle Rock, CO I will be hosting a catalog launch on Friday, June 8 and Saturday, June 9, from 8 am to 3 pm. Join me as we look at new products, make a color chart with the new In Colors and make a bookmark for your catalog using the new Graceful Glass Designer Vellum.
In conjunction with the catalog launch, there will be a craft garage sale! A couple other stampers and myself are parting with some of our past products to make room for new. I love ribbon but my ribbon storage is overflowing so I am going to divide up the ribbons and package them for sale. I keep adding stamp sets to my ‘for sale’ items and then looking at them and putting them back on the shelf and then scolding myself and putting them back out for sale. Sigh……… it is like breaking up with a friend! lol
The hostess code through June 9th is UB6X963B. 20% of any sale made at home now or through closing of the sale on Saturday will entitle you to a voucher for use at my craft table. There will be past Paper Pumpkins for sale, DSP, and Big Shot items.
I had better get to work sorting and packaging! Have a wonderful day!
SAL (Shop A Lot, Smile A Little, and Share A Love)
