We have a Super Awesome Group of Demonstrators sharing their talents in our private Facebook group called the Global SU Share Fair. We broadcast about every other month with videos available on replay if you miss the live days. There are close to 60 demonstration videos available on replay with the next live day on October 17th. Save the date! This group is an exclusive group for our customers. If you are a customer of mine and are not part of the group, please click on Contact above and ask for an invitation.

Today we are CASEing the May Share Fair projects. I decided to CASE Tracy Held’s fancy fold card that is the first project in the pdf tutorial. Here is her card.

Here is what I created based on her tutorial instruction and design.

Flip the right side open to reveal the message. The top flips up as well.

Forever Greenery Suite Showcase

September 20, 2020September 19, 2020Leave a comment

I prepared a very large pile of Forever Greenery paper crafting kits in my stamp space in Wisconsin over the course of 4 days for the Stamp and Scrapbook Expo Mega Make-n-Take event. Yes, it takes me that long to assemble the kits! It’s just me cutting and scoring cardstock, sectioning out ribbon lengths, calculating how many sheets of patterned paper to cut and then checking twice so I cut in the right place!

The kits were shipped via USPS to the Stamp and Scrapbook Expo headquarters in California where the crew there did the final gathering of kits from the other vendors into shipping boxes. Then, it was on to your house! I hope you enjoy creating along with us today.

If you missed getting a kit, I have 2 Online Retreats in October where you pre-purchase the kits from me. Then, join us online for the retreat from the comfort of your own home. Fall and Spring Fling Friday Night In is October 2nd with a mix of the 2 seasons because my co-host is located in Australia! Click here for details.

Up North Stamp-a-Stack is all about the Snowflake Splendor Suite. My co-host is from Canada so we opted for an up north theme. Join us on October 18th for a fun afternoon. Click here for details. I hope you can join us for one or both retreats. Registration fee is discounted when signing up for both retreats at once. Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators are welcome to attend and could be the starting point for you to offer your own retreats.

Now back to what I am showcasing during the SSE event today. Here are three potential designs included in the kit from me.

My video segment is at 2:30pm central time today and can be viewed via these Stamp and Scrapbook Expo at home links:

Paper Crafting Blog Hop Gift Bow Builder Punch

September 16, 2020September 17, 202023 Comments

Welcome to our Paper Crafting Blog Hop featuring talented Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from all over the globe including the USA, United Kingdom and Australia. We have a wide array of fun projects and design styles to share with you showcasing our fabulous punches. You may have arrived from Annette McMillan’s blog. She had a fabulous project!

I opted to use the Gift Bow Builder punch, the Celebration Labels dies and coordinating Celebration Tidings stamp set for a 6×8 inch cello bag topper. I slide the Pampered Pets stamp set inside the cello bag to show how large the bag is since the bag is hard to photograph. Create a coordinating gift note to slip inside the bag using the Celebration Labels dies too.

Supplies used to create the bag topper and gift note include products from the Pampered Pets Suite, the patterned paper, real red stitched ribbon and a bone trinket. Other products as shown in the photo below.

I created the kitty cat topper during a Lunchtime Facebook Live after this post was published.

Thanks for hopping with us each month. Now click on the next image to zoom to Tracy Held’s blog in Australia and see what fun project she designed.

Pop Up Special

September 5, 2020September 6, 2020Leave a comment

I filmed and edited this Youtube video today. This is actually the second run through. The first time was in a private Facebook group. As long as I was already set up for filming, I thought I would make a Youtube video. Watch to the end because I share a pop up card design that is part of my Pop Up Special. Enjoy!

It’s a Pop Up Special in two ways. The first is that the bonus card is a pop up design. The second is that adding this card to the September Kits in the Mail boxes is only popping up as special to be redeemed by Monday as described below.

Please note that to complete the September Kits in the Mail, you will need to order the Nothing’s Better Than Bundle from my online store. Click this link to order this bundle and also be linked to the host code listed above.

Click the Contact button if you have any questions. Click here for all the September Kits in the Mail details. Thank you for stamping and shopping with me!
