Welcome to our first blog hop of 2014. This month we are excited to show you the new products available in the Stampin’ Up! Occasions Catalog as well as a preview of the free products you can earn through Sale-a-bration at the end of January.

You may just be starting the blog hop or may have come from Debbie Mageed at Secret Stamper, stop #2 on the Pals Hop. If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all of the amazing creations.

I have not one, but two projects to share with you today, mainly because I couldn’t make up my mind which one I wanted to show! There are so many awesome stamps & accessories in both the Occasions catalog & the Sale-A-Bration catalogs. My project feature items from both catalogs.

My first project is light and airy.

I love the colors in this pattern, and the random dots just adds to the playfulness of this paper, a new DSP which will be FREE in the soon-to-be released Sale-A-Bration catalog. I was free to choose from so many colors so I used Pool Party, Pistachio Pudding, Crisp Canteloupe, and Sahara Sand papers & inks. “Perfect Pennants” from the Occasions catalog provided the You & Me sentiment. (This comes as part of bundle too, with Banner Framelits dies to save you money!) It also provided the longer banner image too.

“Just Sayin’” is another stamp set in the Occasions catalog and it’s coordinating Word Bubble Framelits dies (another bundle to save you money!) is where the ‘woo-hoo’ comes from.

I can’t reveal pics of the products in the Sale-A-Bration catalog until it goes live, but…. see the smaller banner image? It’s another sneak peek from the Sale-A-Bration catalog (Spoiler Alert: This stamp set has a coordinating punch to give you that perfect flagged end every time). Love a stamp set & punch!

My second project is dark and has such strong contrast. This design comes from the same package of DSP as above. This paper reminded me of a blackboard with colored chalk. So naturally, I wanted to do a chalk technique for the sentiment. “Just Sayin'” provided the gee, thanks word bubble that already looks like it was written in chalk. Perfect! The coordinating Word Bubble Framelits dies perfectly cropped the word bubble.

Both projects feature a new DSP, available Jan. 28th during Sale-A-Bration. As with all the items in the Sale-A-Bration catalog, it’s FREE with a $50 product order (before tax & shipping). Each of the bundles mentioned above are priced just under $50 depending on wood or clear, but when you add an accessory or two, or a consumable item like adhesive, cardstock, ink or envelopes, you’ve reached the point to earn a FREE sale-a-bration item!

So buy a bundle, get Free stuff! It doesn’t get much better than that!

Perfect Pennants Bundle
# 134815 (w) $ 48.50
# 134816 (c) $ 41.50

Just Sayin' Bundle — Just Sayin’ Bundle
# 134819 (w) $ 43.95
# 134820 (c) $ 37.25

The next stop is Susan Itell at Simple Stampin’ Stop #4 on the Pals Blog Hop! Thanks for visiting and I hope to see you next month.

Bling in the New Year

January 9, 2014 1 Comment

Our Pals Gallery theme was “Bling in the New Year”. Since I had a birthday card I needed to send out, I decided to ‘bling’ a birthday card. I always think the striking Black & White color combo works well with something sparkly. The Silver Glimmer paper and Rhinestones jewels were my bling of choice. The oval framelit dies allowed me to crop various sizes of ovals that would layer perfectly. I choose to offset my ovals to allow more room for my flowers.

Petite Petals, a new stamp set from the Occasions catalog, and the coordinating Petite Petals Punch allowed me to create a bunch of these flowers in a jiffy. BONUS: The stamp set and punch are bundled together for 15% savings! Love that!

I simply used Black Staz-On ink on Whisper White cardstock to stamp various patterns of flowers and arranged them using snail adhesive and/or stampin’ dimensionals to give my flowers different heights.

You can click on the photo above to go to my online store where you can order this bundle.

Thanks for stopping by My Stampin Space today. Come back & stamp with me soon.

Make A Wish!

January 5, 2014 1 Comment

One item that should be at the top your wish list from the new 2014 Occasions Catalog from Stampin’ Up! is the “Perfect Pennants” stamp set. This set of 10 stamps has such on-trend images and sentiments. When I saw this set, with it’s coordinating framelits dies bundled to save you money, it went straight to the top of my wish list!

This week’s Mojo Monday sketch challenge provided the perfect layout to showcase this stamp set.
I decided to go out of my comfort zone and make a round card! It was so easy that I don’t know why I don’t do this more often.

The Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge for this week is a classy combination of Island Indigo, Gold and Whisper White.

So I decided that I would use that color combination and be able to post this card for both the Mojo Monday sketch challenge AND the Pals Paper Arts color challenge.

So here’s my submission: The gold embossing on Island Indigo looks MUCH BETTER in person; but it’s camera shy and just wouldn’t cooperate with getting its’ picture taken. But trust me, it really makes a statement!

I used the Scallop Circle Bigz die #113468 for my card base. TIP: I folded my cardstock in half and set the fold just under the top edge of the die. While it does give a flat top, it also allows the card base to take the round shape. The Circle Collection Framelits dies #130911 allowed me to crop an Island Indigo circle. A piece of DSP from the Quatrefancy Specialty DSP #130141 gave me the patterned Island Indigo piece. TIP: Glue this piece to the Island Indigo BEFORE cropping out the circle.

I used the Gold Metallic Encore Ink Pad #132141 for the Gold banners. Didn’t get this in the Holiday Catalog? No worries, it is carried over into the Occasions catalog so you get this now! TIP: You can add Clear Embossing Powder to the Metallic Encore inks and heat emboss. No versamark ink needed!

Are you diggin’ the scallop tag top on the sentiment? Me too! That punch was another MUST HAVE item that went to the top of my list my first trip thru the new Occasions catalog! You can find this beauty, and it’s angled cousin on page 35.

So, what do you think of my double-punch knockout? Does this make you want to step out of your comfort zone and try something new? The round card was not all intimidating once I got started; and well, the garbage can was nearby if it turned out to be a flop, so I figured I had nothing to lose!

Perfect Pennants #3133227 (w), #133230 (c)

My Spooky Banner

September 14, 2013

Here is a picture of my fireplace mantel sporting the new Spooky Banner I created using the new Build A Banner Simply Created Kit (item # 133507) and the coordinating Halloween Banner Simply Created Accessory Kit (item # 132698). The banner couldn’t have been easier to make; a short learning curve for me try both spritzing and sponging ( I ultimately opted for the sponging).

The banner kit contains 18 canvas pennants in 3 shapes, 3 background stencils (stripes, dots & chevron patterns), a stencil mask and alphabet stencils plus jute for hanging and a spritzer tool. Because I opted for the sponging, the drying time was minimal meaning I could apply the colored background pattern and the text without waiting. The accessory kit made decorating the banner a snap. The kits are designed to include everything you need, just add ink and adhesives! It could not be simplier.

I opted to use a few things on mine that weren’t in the kit, and likewise, didn’t use a few things that were, to make the banner ‘mine’ although I did try to stay as close to the banner shown on pages 4 & 5 of the Holiday Catalog to show how easy it is to create that.

The close-ups show you the rosette and pre-printed and glitter die-cut pieces that come with the accessory kit. Are you digging the black Vintage Designer Faceted Buttons? They are exclusive to this kit.

Since the kit contains 18 pennants, I will be able to make a banner for Thanksgiving and Christmas, in addition to this Halloween banner, from just one kit!

If you would like to order the Build-A-Banner Simply Created Kit (Item # 133507), the Halloween Banner Simply Created Accessory Kit (item # 132698) or the Christmas Banner Simply Created Accessory Kit (item # 132697) – not shown, simply click the item name or Click Here to go to my on-line store where you can shop safely from the comfort of your own home.

Have you seen the new Envelope Punch Board? No, well, I created a short video showing you this newest tool that is going to totally transform the way you make cards, and envelopes! Don’t believe me? Watch the video and see for yourself:

I know, now you want one; you just can’t live without it, can you? You are already thinking of all the cards you are going to make of odd sizes that you never dared make before, because you didn’t have an envelope. The Envelope Punch Board is item # 133774 and it is available to order now. You’re welcome 🙂

While you’re shopping, don’t forget to check out the Clearance Rack. Where do all your favorite stamps, tools, accessories & embellishments go when they retire? To the clearance rack! And the Clearance Rack was just reloaded. All items are deeply discounted and are only available while supplies last so don’t wait! Click Here to shop the Clearance Rack.!

I’d love to see the Banner you create! Just go to my on-line store and buy a banner kit, and an accessory kit if you so choose, and create your banner. Then snap a pic and email it to me; I’ll post your banner pic on my blog! It’s that simple 🙂

Thanks for stopping by My Stampin Space today.

Punch it Out!

September 3, 2013

I’m so excited over the newest tool offered by Stampin’ Up! – an envelope punch tool! It allows you to make envelopes in almost size you could want from a sheet of paper! (Instructions are included for 66 different sizes) Imagine custom sized envelopes in any color or from DSP to coordinate with your hand made card.
Watch the video below to see this cool tool in action:

I know, you want one, don’t you? Actually, you don’t just want one; you NEED one. That was my first thought when I watched this video too. I ordered mine and it arrived last week, but, (I’m almost embarrassed to admit this) I haven’t had time to play with it yet! Yikes, what am I waiting for? Well, a total bedroom remodeling project has been consuming all of my time beginning from last Thursday and is still not complete. I’ve been talking about wanting to do this for over a year now, so when hubby said, “Let’s do it” I couldn’t tell him, I was too busy stamping and making envelopes so my paper crafting got put on hold.

Well if you’d like to get your hands on this cool envelope making tool, just click here. You’ll be instantly transported to my on-line store where you can securely and easily order this for yourself, and order as many as you’d like for anyone else you know who loves to make cards and play with paper! Trust me, they’ll thank you for it. And at $19.95 you can afford to get several.

Envelope Punch Board Order # 133774 $19.95 and it includes the scoring tool and two punches for making the envelope and rounding the corners.

While you are ordering the Envelope Punch Board, don’t forget to stock up on Designer Series Paper too! Go to my on-line store here.

Avoid the Frenzy – Start Planning for the Holidays Now

August 26, 2013

Every year, I think I am going to start my planning for the holiday season early to avoid the frenzied chaos I usually wind up in, but my good intentions don’t always pan out. My problem is, I don’t have a PLAN for my planning; no way of organizing what I’m planning in my head. I write things down (sometimes) but then I can’t find my notes. I cut out a recipe, but don’t remember where I put it. Sound familiar?

But this year, Stampin’ Up! has my back. They’ve actually given me a plan for my planning, an organizer for my organizing.

If my story sounds like yours, then we both need The Season of Style This & THAT journal. Watch the video below to see how this will organize your holiday season so you can keep it all together this year.

Season Of Style This And That Journal — Season of Style This & That Journal
# 132277 $10.95

Naughty And Nice This And That Rotary Stamp

Season Of Style Designer Washi Tape

This makes a great practical gift, too. So don’t forget your sister, your BFF, or your co-workers. Anyone who could use a little help getting their holiday planning under control.

Now, go enjoy your perfectly planned, stress-free holidays! On behalf of Stampin’ UP!, you’re welcome!

August Pals Blog Hop

August 13, 2013 9 Comments

Thank you for joining us for the August Pals Blog Hop. Even though it’s only August we want to provide some inspiration for your upcoming holiday projects. This month’s blog hop will showcase new products from the 2013 Stampin’ Up! Holiday Catalog. We hope you enjoy seeing how we use the new stamps, new punches and other accessories!

You should have just left stop number 14 on the Pals Hop – Nicole Watt at Pixel Maven’s Retreat. If so, you are in the right spot. If you get off track, the full blog lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all of the amazing creations.

“Merry Little Christmas” (#131826-wood, #131829-clear) was a stamp set that went straight to the top of my wish list my first trip thru the 2013 Holiday Catalog. Why? Because it’s part of a bundle! Anytime I see a product bundle, I know that A) the products will coordinate well together, and B) I’ll save money!

This catalog is full of kits, great for the busy crafter! This stamp set comes bundled with a card kit for easy card-making without a lot of fuss and includes everything except ink & adhesives (basic supplies you probably have on hand).

For this card, I used a gray, red & green color combo. There’s a layer of Smoky Slate card stock, then a layer of Real Red followed by a piece of DSP (retired – I am bound & determined to use as much of my retired DSP as I can!) . The image is stamped in Real Red onto Whisper White cardstock. I then stamped the image again on Whisper White using Gumball Green and snipped out the ‘little’ banner using my paper snips and popped it up on stampin dimensional. The little bit of grey behind it offset gives it some flair. The finishing touch is the Gumball Green ribbon.

The next item I had to have were the Expressions Thinlits Dies #132171. I loved the font and the size of each word. Check out the spread on pages 10-11 in the catalog for some great ideas with this die.

These two cards were whipped out in minutes! (Thanks to the Pals for the great tip about using wax paper to help get the cardstock out of the die! – No thanks to my family for leaving an empty roll in the wax paper box in my cabinet and not letting me know we were out! – But that’s a different story!)

Red Glimmer Paper and Silver Glimmer Paper and punches created the designs. (The Mosaic Madness punch and a line of mini pearls makes a great ornament, don’t you think?) Need a quick card that you can mass produce but doesn’t cut corners on cuteness? These thinlits will get the job done for you! Another reason I like this set – it spans 3 holidays. Plus I could see using the Love sentiment for more than just Valentine’s Day.

You can order any of these products from me. Just click here to go directly to my store and start shopping!

The next stop is Beth Beard at My Little Craft Blog, stop number 16 on the Pals Blog Hop! Thanks for visiting – and I hope to see you next month!

Thanks to the talented Nicole Watt for creating our blog hop badge and buttons! This month’s badge and buttons feature the most excellent color combo featured in the Winter Frost product suite: Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana, Island Indigo, Pool Party and Smoky Slate.

And thanks to you for stopping by My Stampin’ Space today. If you liked what you saw, please leave me a comment or sign up for my mailing list. Please come back again! See you soon!

Happy Stampin,

Nancy
