Hello Friends,

For the first time since I became a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator in 2005 I took a much needed 2 weeks off from my Stampin' Up! business to spend with family and other pressing matters.  I know that the timing wasn't perfect since the brand new 2021-2022 Stampin' Up! Catalog went live last week on May 4, but I am back today with the quirky and fun Party Puffins stamp set.  Look closely, there's always a few new 2021-2023 In Colors.  Can you name them?

Party Puffin Card Details

I stamped them colored my Party Puffins using a variety of Stampin' Blends (Pumpkin Pie,  Pool Party, Daffodil Delight, Polished Pink and Fresh Freesia).  Yes, I did fussy cut the adorable little puffins.  I have never seen a puffin live, but after doing a little research on this cute creatures I would definitely like to see them up close.

Have you spotted the new colors yet!  Meet Fresh Freesia and Polished Pink with one little spot of Pale Papaya.  I inked the sentiments and the birthday cake with Polished Pink ink, then I brushed on some Fresh Freesia ink.  Fresh Freesia shows up again with the embossed panel (Hammered Metal 3D Embossing Folder).  The stitched edging (Stitched With Whimsy Dies) keeps with the party theme.  For a final accent, I added a few Loose Flower Flourishes.

This cute tag was cut with the Tailor Made Tags dies.  I'll showcase these versatile dies more this week.

I mentioned that I became a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator in 2005.  I have never regretted my decision to join Stampin' Up!.  It's been an adventure.  I have met so many fabulous people along the way.  I have been able to purchase all my Stampin' Up! supplies at a discount and so much more.

By the Dock 2 For 1 Card

Hello Friends,

Why is it that Masculine Cards are so much harder to make?  It's a question that I am often asked.  Yesterday, I shared 2 masculine cards made with the retiring Game On stamp set and today I'll share 2 cards designed with the retiring By the Dock Bundle.  That's 4 masculine card ideas just for you!

Just a reminder that all retiring products are available WHILE SUPPLIES LAST or until May 3, 2021 whichever comes first.

Learn How to Make 2 Cards in One

To make this By the Dock card, I sponged 3 colors (Coastal Cabana, Bermuda Bay, and Tranquil Tide) to create the water.  Then, I stamped a few Whisper White waves.  Using an assortment of Stampin' Blends, I colored the boat and the dock.  The cattails and the frog were cut with the Dockside Dies.

Out with the Old In With the New

It may be a little bit sad to see great masculine sets such as By the Dock and Game On retire, but that also means that Stampin' Up! is making room for the new.  The new 2021-2022 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog will begin May 4.  That's less than a month a way. 

Boxes of these beautiful catalogs are arriving at my house this week.  Does one have your name on it?  I will start mailing catalogs next week to all my Stamping Country Customers who have ordered from me in the past 9 months.  Catalogs will be ready for pick up by Saturday!

How to Receive a Stampin' Up! 2021-2022 Annual Catalog

All Stamping Country customers (Those who have ordered from Stamping Country in the last 9 months) will automatically receive a beautiful new catalog after they arrive.  If you have moved since your last order please contact me with your new address immediately.  I wouldn't want you to miss receiving this gorgeous catalog.

If you are new to paper crafts or to Stampin' Up! and do not have a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator and would like to receive the 2020-2021 Stampin' Up! Catalog, I would be happy to add you to my customer list and to assist you with your paper crafting needs.  Request your catalog by emailing me at [email protected].  Be sure to include your name, address, and phone number.
