Isn't this pretty? I love, love LOVE this patterned paper!! This bundle is from the new Sept. to Dec. Mini Catalog, which will be available to customers on Sept. 5. That's only five days away... next Friday:) Yay!
This bundle is called Christmas Greenery and the coordinating patterned paper is called Traditions of Christmas Designer Series Paper. There is also a coordinating package of embellishments called Traditional Sparkling Sequins which is gorgeous! My package will be here in a couple of days, then I will add some bling to this card. Oh the card design! I got this idea from fellow Demo Tara Carpenter. I couldn't resist casing her beautiful design!

Something amazing is in the works!
After months of planning (and years of discussion!), Stampin’ Up!
is rolling out a brand-new promotion: the Product of the Month!
As with Sale-A-Bration, this promotion incentivizes reaching a
purchasing threshold—and that can mean additional sales for you!
The Product of the Month is a GREAT
deal! Here’s how it works: with a spend of $75 USD, you will be
able to unlock the Product of the Month and purchase it for only $5
USD. Please note: customers will only be eligible for one of
each Product of the Month offering.
These will be unique, exclusive
products like Designer Series Paper, stamp sets, and more. When
does it start? December! This gives you plenty of time to plan
and strategize how you will use this new promotion to build your
business.
I have another fun fold for you this week! This is pretty easy to make too. I've used the Florals in Bloom patterned paper and Strawberry Slush cardstock. Video and PDF tutorial are found below. Enjoy:)
As part of our transition away from
cling stamps, we’re excited to introduce updated packaging for
stamps and dies! Because photopolymer stamps are thinner, we’re
able to offer sleeker, slimmer packaging that saves space. Both
stamps and dies will now come in the same size and style of
packaging, making it easier than ever to store bundles and
coordinating products together. The new packaging is similar to our
current die packaging—durable, clear plastic envelopes—but with
an exciting improvement: Die packaging will now feature printed
artwork for quick and easy identification! Stamp packaging will
continue to display artwork as well.
Stampin’
Write Markers We
have also decided to discontinue Stampin’ Write Markers. With the
growing popularity of Stampin’ Blends, we’ve seen a steady
decline in sales of Stampin’ Write Markers. One of the primary
techniques unique to Stampin’ Write Markers is coloring directly on
cling stamps—a technique that will become less relevant as we
transition away from cling.
I'm here to answer any questions
you may have and provide personalized support.
Although
cling stamps are being phased out, great designs and stamping
experiences will continue with photopolymer options.
I
want to encourage those of you who love cling stamps or Stampin’
Write Markers to grab your favorites while supplies last.
The
new packaging is a space-saving, organizing-friendly update that
makes it easier to store stamps and dies together. New packaging
measures 5-5/8" x 9"
Stamps
and dies will now come in the same size and style of packaging,
making it easy to store bundles and coordinating products together.
Packaging
is clear with an insert that displays stamp or die artwork for quick
and easy identification—yes, both stamp and die packaging will now
show artwork!
Larger
packaging dimensions allow us to showcase more stamp artwork at 100%
on the insert. Sleek,
slim design will help you store more in less space.
Envelope
closure includes a tuck-in flap for quick and easy opening and
closing. Packaging
is sized to fit a variety of organization systems.
Die
packaging will now include printed artwork for quick and easy
identification, and stamp packaging will continue to show artwork as
well.
All
new stamps and dies starting with November Online Exclusives will
come in the new packaging.
Photopolymer
stamps released prior to November will transition to the new
packaging with a rolling change. During this time, you may receive
some stamps in old packaging and some in new. Transition will vary
across markets based on inventory levels.
Q: Will you offer empty
packaging so I can transfer my current photopolymer stamps and dies
to the new packaging?
A: Yes. Empty Stamp & Die
Organizers (167772) will be available in packs of 10 as part of the
November 2025 Online Exclusives starting on November Stamp &
Die Organizers (167772) * $16 * 10-pack * 5-5/8" x 9"
Q: Will bundled stamps and dies
come in the same package?
A: No. Bundled stamps and dies
will come in separate packages, but their packages are the same size
and style, making it easier for you to store them together.
Q: How will hybrid embossing
folders be packaged?
A: Hybrid embossing folders will
still include the embossing folder and coordinating die packaged
together in a basic cello bag. No changes are being made to the
embossing folder packaging. The die portion, however, will come in
the new die packaging with printed artwork. In rare cases, due to the
size or shape of certain dies, slightly larger packaging may be used.
Q: Will embossing folders come
in new packaging?
A: No. Embossing folder
packaging is not changing at this time.
Q: Will I still be able to order
the Standard Stamp Cases (119105)?
A: Yes! We plan to continue
offering this product and will evaluate its availability as part of
our regular product lifecycle reviews.
Q: Can I use the new Stamp &
Die Organizers (167772) to store other Stampin’ Up! products?
A: Absolutely! They’re a great
space-saving solution for storing a variety of crafting
essentials—embellishments, ephemera packs, and more!

Like any avid reader, I collect books and adore anything related to books! So it's no surprise that I have always enjoyed pretty bookmarks and have been making them for as long as I can remember. I smile thinking about my parents who grew up during the depression. They often used kleenex, an old envelope, or anything handy for their bookmarks. They fostered my love of reading at a very early age, so these bookmark cards are another way I honor them. By creating them with my own two hands, I'm not contributing to the glut of Chinese manufactured stuff we seem to be spending so much money on these days.
Make a bookmark card or two, or three... or lots and send them to friends and relative for a lovely way to let them know you are thinking of them. I've recently sent bookmark cards to my Great Nieces and now I'm going to send some to the ladies in my Bible Study.
These two bookmark cards were made the ultra gorgeous Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper. The Spotlight on Nature dies provide all the additional embellishments needed for a beautiful card for a friend to cherish.
2 teaspoons Glycerin 4 teaspoons
Distilled Water 1/4 teaspoon Isopropyl, Denatured or Rubbing
Alcohol
Mix all ingredients together and place
them in a small glass container. You can pull out the tips of the pens
with pliers or tweezers.
Put the tips of the pens in the
solution and let them soak for about 5 minutes. Put the tips back
into the blender pens and you’re good to go.
To make it last longer, take the
blender pen apart and refill the fiber shaft. Gently remove
the tip with tweezers and set it aside. Next, use
one of
the methods below:
Tap the pen on your work surface
a few times, and a white plastic-covered, fiber-filled tube should
come out. If it won't come all the way out, gently drip bits
of the Glycerin mixture into the pen shaft until no more mixture
will go in.
Use an eye dropper to drip the
mixture into the pen shaft
Use a veterinary syringe
You must use Distilled Water
because it has no impurities. Tap water will cause your pens
to become moldy inside.
Rubbing alcohol is a
generic term that can be either denatured alcohol or isopropyl
alcohol.
Dual-tipped pens filled with
specialized solution for easier blending. Use with Basic White
Cardstock or Shimmery White Cardstock and Classic Stampin’ Ink. 3
acid-free, xylene-free pens.
We had our monthly Stampin' Class today and it was such a joy to be with my stamping friends! I always have a good time with them:) We did it all: heat embossing, dry embossing, watercoloring, coloring with Stampin' Blends and we played with the new Metallic Rub-Ons. Those would be so pretty on Christmas cards!! Stamp & Die Bundles as well as Patterned Papers listed above each photo are linked to my online store for ease in ordering.
The clues to this mystery were given on Thursday, and here is the solution! This fun fold is quick and easy! Instead of stamping images, I fussy cut flowers from the patterned paper, then used Stampin' Dimensionals to pop them up. I love how it turned out! This card has a pocket for the sentiment, where you could also put a gift card. A link to the PDF tutorial and the video tutorial are below.

All is right in my world, I'm in my craft room creating like crazy, and the dog is under my desk in her favorite hidey hole. She's the third Australian Sheppherd we've had and they've all been the most wonderful pets! Tesla is super smart, the other day, our UPS man told his trainee that she could read on a 5th grade level lol!
Here is one of my latest cards. I'm currently working on four cards. I'm getting ready for a class on Tuesday, and have another project in the works for a Mystery Stamping Event that I need to film for Monday. I love staying busy!
This card was made using the Framed Scenes bundle. The image was stamped in Black Stazon, and colored with watercolor pencils and a tiny paint brush. Cardstock colors are Basic White, Gray Granite and one layer of Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper. Another layer was dry embossed with the Exposed Brick Embossing Folder. The leaves were diecut with Beautiful Motifs dies. I stamped the first layer of Gray Granite, with the Elements of Texts stamp set.
