Butterfly Bouquet Spring is Coming!

March 6, 2021March 6, 2021Leave a comment

I took this week to plan for some spring activities, bee hives and taxes! You can guess which one was the more fun one 😉 I’ll take you along on my bee keeping adventures again. This will be my second year as a beek (short for bee keeper). I literally just got purple posy paint delivered right to my front door from a friend to paint my first hive. So looking forward to what my bee keeping journey brings and not just because I get to use purple posy paint!

Stampin’ Up! is helping us get ready for spring too by releasing the Butterfly Bouquet suite ahead of the new annual catalog to goes live in early Mary. The offering includes a special package of patterned paper, Butterfly Bijou, which is only available during the early release promotion and while supplies last. It’s 6×6 inches, 8 each 6 double sided patterns for a total of 48 sheets.

Purchase the coordinating stamp set and die cuts individually or bundle priced for a 10% savings.

There is also a Natural Touch Specialty paper that can be purchased separately or included in the suite Butterfly Brillance suite collection as shown below.

See what you can make with the collection below…

Thanks for checking in with me today!

February Sugar Cookie Social Kits are in the Mail Today

February 16, 2021February 16, 20212 Comments

Good Morning! I stuffed my mailbox today with packets of Sugar Cookie Social make and take kits. Good thing cardstock does not care if it’s negative degrees outside because it’s freezing out there! If you have placed a $50 or more order excluding shipping and tax this month, your kit is on the way. You can still place orders and I’ll ship the February packet to you promptly.

Meet me on Zoom, next Wednesday, February 24th, 9-10am or 6-7pm, to assemble the kits. I’ll include a Youtube link for kit assembly as well when I email the Zoom link.

Why do I call these session Sugar Cookie Socials? Click here for the story. Bring your tea, coffee and a sweet treat to share what you enjoy for refreshments. It’s fun to see differences in region and taste.

How do you get an invitation to join the social? Purchase at least $50 (excluding shipping and tax) using the host code listed on the right side of my blog (current code is EUNVSZHN). If your order is over $150, do not use a host code so you can spend all the host rewards yourself. Either method will earn you an invitation to join the social for that month and a snail mailed make and take packet from me. Order early in the month so there is time for me to prep your kits and for them to make the journey from my mail box to yours so you can join the Zoom call fun:)

The kits will change each month. I am revealing snippet of one of the kits below…I hope you like it!

I attended an all demonstrator meeting in January and have shared a few of the samples. I’ll try to post the rest of the swaps in the next week. I’ll add credit if I know the demo that stamped it. If you see a swap that is yours, add a comment!

Floral Wings meets Pretty Petals

My post title sounds like a unicorn date to me! But the only white in sight is a single white perfect accent and a whisper white inside liner. And no rainbows either. Just Pretty Petals designer series paper custom folded over to reveal the back side of the dsp.

Pretty and pretty quick! I will be using this design until I run out of Pretty Petals dsp. So about 60 cards later, I’ll move on to a new design! Here is the how to Youtube video:
