Take a look at the new Begonia Belle stamp set. This is the July Product of the Month. The product of the month is a $5 add on to any order over $75.00.
The Begonia Belle is a Two-Step stamp set, which means that the images can be stamped on top of each other to get a deeply layered look with darks and lights.
The product of the month is available while supplies last.
Stampin' Up! releases two to three new kits each month and I always look forward to seeing what they are. There is always at least one card kit, and then sometimes a second card kit or a project kit, scrapbooking or home decor. This month we get two card kits, both very pretty summery kits. The first, Wishes of Gratitude is a kit that is assemble only, no stamping, pre-printed sentiments, lots of lovely layering and soft colors. The Second is called Shaded Petals and this is a first of it's kind kit with Sponge Daubers that you use to add more shading and color to your petals. This is also a no stamping kit, with pre-printed sentiments and even more layering. Kits are great to have on hand when you want a quick card without a lot of fuss. Everything you need is in the box, making it great to take along with you on a trip, to your summer destination, so you get a little crafting while you are on the go without having to pack your whole craft room. See the entire Kits Collection here! there is something for everyone, several kits are even on sale!
Everything needed to make up the kit is included. Envelopes, adhesives, sentiments. You can make up the kits as shown or change then up a little. This Wishes of Gratitude kit makes 10 cards, 5 each of 2 designs, for $19, that's under $2 per card!
The Shaded Petals kit makes 9 cards, 3 each of 3 designs for $26. That's under $3 a card! This kit is a little more expensive because it comes with two ink spots and sponge daubers to add to your crafting collection to be used again and again. The ink spots are Calypso Coral and Highland Heather, beautiful colors you will get a lot of use out of.
Some of my favorites are now on sale, check them out.

Take a look at some cute cards made with this adorable stamp set.
This super simple folded paper strip is so great for dressing up small treats for any occasion. You can change up the papers or decorations to fit your needs. I start with a strip of 12 x 3 designer series paper. Score at 4, 5, and 9 inches. The end of the strip with the 9 inch score will become the flap. You can add some rounded corners or die cuts to make the flap more decorative. I used the Scallop Blossoms dies to make my flap more fancy. The Scallop Blossoms die is a circle, so I had to do a partial cut to make the flap.
Below is a short video showing how to make a partial cut with a die.
The paper I am using is called Homemade Sweetness. It features all sorts of jams and this adorable Honey Bear. I found some Honey themed candy to go inside. Bit O Honey
The Label is from the Filled with Sweetness dies.
Here is a side view so you can see how simple this is. The candy is in a cello bag, which is taped down to the folded paper. You can fill a bag with just about anything and make this fit your theme.
Below is a full video with measurement for this treat holder.
Today's the Day!! The start of the new catalog! Be sure to take a look at the new In Colors and pretty new Shimmer Brushes. I love the Beautiful Ordinary Life suite and I love it at the lake so I can't decide if I like the or the suite best! There are also a bunch of new Online Exclusives, including a suite with Vintage Pooh Bear!! so cute! Be sure to check it out.
This past weekend at Stamp Camp we used products from the Made With Sweetness and Filled With Sweetness bundles. These products were super fun to work with. I love all the cute dies and paper!
My Favorite are the fruit die cuts, so I had to make a treat holder using them. I found these fun berry gummies at the grocery store, so berry die cuts were perfect. I also saw peach gummies and cherry gummies so I could have gone with those too. These would be great to hand out to teachers, co-workers, or anyone you connect to throughout the day. One person at Stamp Camp said that she was going to give them to her hairdresser :)
Here is a how to for this treat holder and I also show you the dies up close and several cards made with the products too.
There are TWO different fruit 'Sweetness' bundles, so I will show you them both. This first one is super fun with a JAR SHAPED CARD! The dies cut out all the stamps and you can use the jar as a card with the fold already scored for you, or just cut out one jar and use it on it's own. There are really nice labels and cute accents for the jar, like the frilly lid cover and bow.
Here are some samples made with this bundle.
This next bundle is meant to coordinate with the Filled with Sweetness bundle, but the Made with Sweetness bundle has more of a scrapbook feel in the larger font stamps and sentiments. However, I think you can make some great cards too! and I just LOVE the dies with this one!
You can purchase the dies on their own or as part of the bundle.
The fruit jar collection also has paper, ribbon and embellishments all the match. There is even a scrapbooking kit! So Cute!!
