Virtual Kick Off Party

Hi Everyone!
Today is the Day of my New Catalog Virtual Kick off Party on Facebook!! I have some Facebook Live Videos planned throughout the day, as well as a catalog scavenger hunt, prizes and of course my big retired products virtual garage sale.  I know not everyone has Facebook, so I thought I would share a few things here as well.
First up, I want to do a New Catalog Walk Through.  There is so much to love in this big new catalog that I don't want you to miss something as you look through it.  I will take you through both the New Beginner Brochure and the New Annual Catalog and point out some things I don't want you to miss.  I wont do every page, but I will hit some highlights and some easy to miss items.
Watch the video and leave me a comment with your favorite item!

Be sure to check out what retired items I have for sale by clicking the Garage Sale Tab under my blog header.  I have a fun BOGO for these items, or you can go right for the sale prices!  BOGO is in effect until  Monday.  After that it will just be the sale prices.

June is full of other great promotions besides just my little ole BOGO there is a Great Join Promotion going on now!!  Check out the details on that in this, much shorter video! :)

I also have a Raffle going on at my Facebook page, but you can join in via Email.  You get a ticket for commenting on my YouTube video, a ticket for joining my Facebook Idea Sharing Group ( https://www.facebook.com/groups/bethspapercuts ) , a ticket for sharing my video or inviting a friend to my Facebook Idea Sharing Group, a ticket with purchase from the new catalog and a ticket for participating in the catalog scavenger hunt quiz! which will be up shortly on the Facebook page.
Here is the Scavenger Hunt! Stampin scavenger hunt.docx

I sent out Make-n-Take kit to my regular customers and team members.  Here is the video for that...

Today's the Day!!

The sun is shining the birds are singing...  Well, actually it's a little rainy outside and I hear we may get a storm but in my head it's a sunny day because it's new catalog day!!
I love new catalog day, as does just about every stamper! Today I get to order the new color ink pads, markers, a whole bunch of new stamp sets and Stampin' Up! has made it EVEN BETTER because they are giving us an EXTRA $25 in Stampin' Rewards when your order is $250 or more.  YAY!  And with so many great new items, my order will most certainly be $250 or more.

New Catalog Kick Off and Retired Products 'Garage Sale'

Hi Everyone! 
Are you looking forward to the new Annual Catalog? I can assure you that it is full of wonderful new products and truly great samples for you to gain inspiration from.  It's a really beautiful catalog.  If you have purchased from me in the last year, I have ordered a catalog to be sent to you already and they are on their way.  The Post Office is running a little bit slower these days as they work to deal with this pandemic. I have heard that they are short staffed and also having less people working at one time to keep them spread out a bit, so catalog mailings times are sort of hit or miss.   When I send them out to customers, I also send one out to myself and I have not yet received mine, however I am sure it will come soon.  But, have no fear, because on June 3rd I will be able to share it here digitally!!    Your going to want to take a look at it on June 3rd, and start your wish list because on June 6th I am going to have a fun New Catalog Kick Off party on Facebook!!  Every year I have a big kick off for the new catalog and customers come and do a Free make and take, get a catalog, participate in my raffles and  shop my retired products garage sale.  I have been working on ways to still do this, but virtually!

Starting at 9:00 AM (Central Time) I will be having some FaceBook Live recordings every so often, starting with a catalog walk through, later a project demo, a virtual game (still working out the details for that but there will be a prize), Virtual Display Board of samples, chances for Raffle prizes and of course a SALE!! Purchase from the new catalog on June 6th and you will get to choose items from my Virtual Retired Products Garage Sale FREE !  A BOGO type thing!  I will also have retired product with prices for if you don't want to place an order because you are a team member or something,  but you still want to get one of my retired stamps. Be sure to join my Facebook page so that you will see the details and the live videos!  You wont want to miss out!!

Sending Happy Mail

 Today I am Sharing Sunshine by sending out LOTS of happy mail!  I used the Share Sunshine PDF from Stampin' Up! You can get it here with a $12 donation to Covid-19 Relief until June 2nd. 100% of proceeds go to two different organizations working on community relief.

I used retiring InColor cardstock Blueberry Bushel, Call Me Clover, Lovely Lipstick and Pineapple Punch.  I also used the retiring InColor 6x6 Designer paper.  I also used the super cute retiring Birthday Bonanza paper to cut out those adorable animals in the Sending Hugs card.   Stitched Be Mine Heart dies used, as well as the Layering Circles dies (smiley face) and Vase Builder Punch (eyebrows) and Stitched Nested Labels dies (mask).

The cards to the left here use retiring Follow Your Art paper (On Sale NOW) as well as the retiring Crafting Forever set and the retiring It Starts with Art Bundle, as well as the Follow Your Art Felt Embellishments (On Sale Now).

                 The "Craftermath" of my busy week!! Time to get cleaning and organizing! :)

Forever Greenery Suite of products

I spent the whole day using the Forever Greenery Suite from Stampin' Up!  I tried to use every item in the suite and I think I succeeded. I started by stamping a whole bunch of the images and cutting them out.  I also took a piece of the Gold Laser Cut Specialty Designer Paper and separated all the pieces.  I had the coordinating Gold Hoop Embellishments, the Forever Greenery Paper, the Greenery Embossing Folder, the ribbon, basically the entire suite in front of me.  I then just started assembling cards.  It was so easy to make beautiful cards with this suite.  They all just seemed to fall together. The three cards on the left are my favorite. 







I made a video showcasing this whole suite of products. I hope you watch because the papers and pieces are all just so beautiful.   These products are coming soon, June 3rd, with the release of the new Annual Catalog from Stampin' Up!

Here are all the cards I made today with these products.  Look for the little details on the Gold Laser Cut Specialty Paper. The Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper is pretty amazing too.  

 Be sure to check back next week when the catalog goes live!  I will have the link to the catalog here on my blog so you can see the whole thing, including this beautiful suite.  Thank you so much for popping in today, I hope you were inspired to create something!

Kits on sale and more Last Chance Products

Kits & Medleys on Sale

Creativity comes easy when you've got amazing coordinating products. We don't want to brag, but coordination is one of our strong points.

The artists at Stampin' Up! have curated collections of exclusive coordinating products that give you the materials you need to create something amazing. These unique collections are called Product Medleys. As part of the Retirement List, two Product Medleys are currently available, only while supplies last, up 60% off. Talk about a huge value!

With the new catalog right around the corner, now is a good time to take a look at the list of retiring products and see if any were on your list last year. It also means that my Annual New Catalog Kick off / Retired Products sale is coming too!! This year it will look a bit different as I can not have an actual In-Person event. I plan on a few Facebook Lives throughout the day, some product demos and even a raffle. There will be a chance to purchase from my retired products garage sale and even earn some of the items in my garage sale FREE with my BOGO event. Buy from the new catalog and get some FREE from the old catalog. I will have more information about this on my blog and Facebook page, so be on the lookout.
As always, feel free to contact me at any time! I love to discuss all things stampy!
Sincerely,
Beth

One Template, Three Cards from Simple to Wow with Forever Fern

Hi Everyone! I have been enjoying the Forever Fern set for several days now! It is just so pretty.  The whole suite is beautiful and I can't wait to share it with you when the catalog goes live in just a little over a week from now.  While I can't show you the catalog images I can show you the stamps I have in hand, so here they are.  There is also a gorgeous collection of papers and embellishments that go with this suite, and I will show all that off in another video on Wednesday.  For now, I wanted to focus on the stamps.

                     I have a short video showing how to make all three versions of the card.

For this trio of cards I started with the simple Stampin' version. This version is a simple, inexpensive and easy to make card.  The card is flat, easy to mail, and does not require additional dies or a die cutting machine.  The Distinctive stamps make the card lovely all on their own.  
I used Pear Pizzazz and Pretty Peacock inks as well as Pretty Peacock and Whisper White Cardstock.

This next version is stepped up a bit with the addition of the coordinating die collection as well as some gold twine.  The die cut pieces are popped up on Dimensionals, as is the Pretty Peacock sentiment piece.

This final version adds more sparkle to the card with the addition of the Laser cut gold leaves and the gems from the Flowers for every season collection.

What ever version of this card you make, it is sure to bring a smile to the recipient.  I hope you come back Wednesday to see the whole Forever Greenery Suite of products.
