The Kits Are Coming! The Kits Are Coming!

I'm so excited about the new KITS COLLECTION! 

Available starting June 1st 

Do you or someone you know insist they aren’t artistic or crafty? These all-inclusive kits were designed for beginner crafters or those looking for a quick creative fix. They are a fun and fast introduction to all that it Stampin’ Up! has to offer— creativity, community, and personal growth.

Some are brand new and some may look familiar...they are past Paper Pumpkin kits that have been reconfigured.  They are available while supplies last and can be purchased through my online store beginning June 1st.  More kits will be released in the future.  

I'd love to host a Kit Class with you!  You can gather your friends in-person to craft together or we can get together virtually!  It's so fun to craft with friends and family near and far!  Contact me to set a date and get more information.

Join me for a virtual Kit Class on Friday, June 25 at 6:30 pm

 Order your kit at least 10 days before so you're ready to craft along with us!  

Contact me to RSVP and get the link to the PARTY!

*Be sure to scroll down for the video replay link to see these projects in action!

The Notes of Cheer Card Kit is a new one!  It is a non-stamping kit...so no stamps, no ink pad...for just $12 (plus shipping and tax).  It's a great way to do a little crafting for a low price point and even makes a GREAT GIFT!  I love that there are sentiments in other languages!  The World Language teacher in me will definitely put these to good use!

A Little Smile Card Kit 156982

These cute little cards come with a pouch to keep them safe in your purse so you can pull one out at any time to give someone a small note of thanks as a random act of kindness!

Order some Notecards and Envelopes along with your kit so you can keep stamping and creating.  Just add a couple of colors...Stampin' Spots included in the kits work great... and make some simple stamping cards!

No Matter The Weather Card Kit 156977

No Matter the Weather was a timely Paper Pumpkin Kit that was released in March 2020...just in time to send some cards to locked-in loved ones!  You can use the elements on a colored cardstock base to make a full-size card...which is just a bit bigger than the notecards included in the kit.

Cultural Diversity United Through Creativity

The World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development is a United Nations-sanctioned international holiday for the promotion of diversity issues. It's celebrated on May 21.  

In honor of the first Stampin’ Up! value statement: we care about people first —and in the spirit of World Diversity Day—we’d like to celebrate what makes us unique through what brings us together: creativity! Stampin’ Up! has created a free digital download for us to print, add color, cut out, and use to create!  

Caring about people first means treating others with kindness, respect, and equal consideration. It means working together towards a common goal, helping each other through life’s challenges, and celebrating one another’s accomplishments. It means including others, even when we disagree, have contrasting life experiences, or simply see things differently. 

The elements featured in the United Through Creativity Digital Download were created in the spirit of World Diversity Day—a day for each of us to join together and understand the value of cultural diversity throughout the world. And, to celebrate our unique community of crafters!  The United Through Creativity Digital Download features inclusive, multicultural, and multilingual sentiments and illustrations that represent the multiple markets Stampin’ Up! engages with. And, it’s free for all!   The digital download will be accessible through my online store under the “Sales & Specials” tab.  

Click on the image below to get your download!

Print your favorite pieces and use them to create cards, scrapbook pages, and other paper projects! We hope you’ll enjoy celebrating diversity, connection, community, and creativity with this sweet selection of inclusive, multicultural, and multilingual elements.  

We hope you’ll join us in celebrating our one-of-a-kind community through the unifying force of creativity! Share your projects on social media using the hashtags:

Paper Crafting Blog Hop - For the Guys

Welcome to the Paper Crafting Blog Hop! The May 2021 blog hop includes Stampin' Up! Independent Demonstrators from around the world!  Talented Demonstrators from all over the globe including the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia are participating!  Get ready to be wowed by a variety of creative projects and design styles!  You may have arrived from Nancy's blog.  What a fabulous project she had!

Our theme this month is Thinking of You Guys. Below is my card that I created with the Beauty of Friendship stamp set and coordinating Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper.  Although most of the papers have an autumnal feel, I think I was able to achieve somewhat of a springtime look here.

Can you see the "hellos" in many languages which were created with the Thanks & Hello Embossing Folders?  I always love multilingual stamps and accessories!  Be sure to scroll down to see the supplies used.

I thought it would be nice to have a matching HELLO sentiment option too!  

Which one do you prefer?

You can watch me put this card together in the video below.

Thanks for following our blog hop this month!  Click below to see what Sandy has in store!

CASE-ing with Pattern Party DSP!

Working full-time doesn't always leave a lot of time to create my own design.  That's where CASE-ing the catalog comes in!  Pick a sample from the catalog and then Copy And Selectively Edit!  These were the two cards I re-created on this week's Facebook Live video.  You can watch the replay below.

I absolutely love the Host Pattern Party Designer Series Paper!  I noticed it right away the first time looking through the catalog samples.  You can't purchase this set of 48 sheets of DSP...it is only available as a Host Reward!  Watch the video to see the flip side of the papers...the photo in the catalog doesn't do it justice!  Vibrant colors on one side and Black & White patterns on the other!

If you'd like to get the Pattern Party Designer Series Paper...place your qualifying order on my website or gather your friends together in-person or virtually to craft and create!

From May 4 - June 14, 2021, qualifying orders of $250 or more will receive our generous Stampin’ Rewards PLUS an additional $25 in rewards!
