New Catalogs! New Products! Free Stuff! at Stampin Up!

You Plus Me Card

The stamp set, You Plus Me, to make this card is now available in the new Stampin’ Up! 2015 Occasions Catalog, which is live today! Yes, you can view it and order from it until June 2, 2015.  If my card above looks a little like the one from yesterday, it is very similar!  The same designer paper I used on yesterday’s card from the Stacked with Love Designer Series Paper Stack is just turned over to the other side, the black and white chevron pattern. To jazz it up a little I added some Silver Glimmer Paper to each side. The background on the Whisper White layer is stamped in Real Red Ink with a stamp in the set. I thought that was very cute! The hearts are die cut with the Hearts Collection Framelits Dies even the little ones.

Don’t Get Confused! New Catalogs Coming!

Occasions Catalog with SAB Cover

Don’t get confused! New Stampin’ Up! catalogs are coming on Tuesday, January 6, 2015! You may think you have received or are viewing two Sale-A-Bration Catalogs, but THIS one pictured above is the new Occasions Catalog with all the new spring goodies in it!  Wow!  Wait until you see them! The cover on the front is just sort of a flyer advertising Stampin’ Up! Sale-A-Bration, the year’s greatest promotion for Stampin’ Up! But flip that cover page over and you see the beautiful cover of the Stampin’ Up! 2015 Occasions Catalog!

Occasions Catalog Cover Open

And here is the smaller Sale-A-Bration 2015 Catalog, filled with FREE PRODUCTS you can earn with every $50.00 purchase plus suggestions for extra products you might like to purchase.

Sale-A-Bration Catalog Cover

If you usually get catalogs mailed to you from me, then you should have received your copies of both the Occasions and the Sale-A-Bration Catalogs already. If you did not, let me know and I’ll check on it.  I order and pay for Stampin’ Up! to send these catalogs out to my best customers, but sometimes they don’t reach their destination unfortunately. I also have some extra catalogs on hand if you do not have a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator and would like a copy in your hands rather than online. Just email me at Karen@KarenStamps.com with your contact information and I’d be happy to put them in the mail to you. Let me know if you also need the Annual Stampin’ Up! (main) catalog.

Many Merry Stars Simply Created Kit Boxes

Many Merry Stars Simply Created Kit BoxesYes, I know star boxes from the Many Merry Stars Simply Created Kit were supposed to be made before Christmas, but much as I wanted to, it just didn’t happen!  I frequently do Christmas things AFTER Christmas – like bake cookies, make decorations! I could have saved the whole kit for next year, but for one thing, I’m in the mood now to make these, I’ve been looking forward to making them since I first heard of them, and by next Christmas there will be something new and shiny I am interested in!  So better to just make them now and have them ready next Christmas! What a joy that will be!

There are tons of supplies in the kit and the star boxes really were quite easy to make. They suggest starting with a medium size star box to get the hang of it on an easier size. I also followed someone else’s directions to make two of the boxes into boxes with a lid and bottom so that next year perhaps I can use them to put something inside.  Otherwise you are just adhering the back on to the bottom of the sides of the box and the whole thing is closed up.  Still cute and you can string a ribbon through at the top in the beginning of assembly to make an ornament. I haven’t tried all the variations yet!

Really, you could made some of these stars for just any occasion or for a birthday, not everything is Christmas-themed in the kit!

Just want to let you know it is okay to make Christmas things AFTER Christmas, in case you want to!

And at this moment you can still purchase the Many Merry Stars Simply Created Kit on the Year-End Closeouts Clearance Rack HERE. Only available while supplies last.

Hope you had a happy New Year’s Day yesterday! It seems like the holiday goes on and on with this weekend after! Time for a little more holiday stamping and then on to spring and the new Occasions Catalog and the start of Sale-A-Bration on January 6th! If you do not have a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator and would like the new catalogs, I have some extras I can mail to you.  They will also be available online January 6th when the catalogs and promotion go live! If you are a customer who regularly receives catalogs from me, I think you should have received them already, so hunt through that Christmas mail you might have put aside and find them!

Snuggles and Smooches Stamp Set

What a nice surprise this morning to check the latest Stampin Up! updates and find out they have a new stamp set for us! This one is called Snuggles and Smooches! It’s a photopolymer stamp set that CAN be used for Valentine’s Day but really can be used any time. The swirls match the trend of winding up some linen thread or twine as a design element on a card that you have probably seen. You can read more about the creation and use of this stamp set by the concept artist on the Stampin’ Up! Blog here. If you would like to order it, you can find it HERE in my Stampin’ Up!

Top Note Thanksgiving Cello Bag Treat

Top Note Thanksgiving Cello Bag Treat

If you haven’t had time yet to make some kind of Thanksgiving treat or table favor, here is something easy. Put your candy or treat into a cello bag and decorate with a topper made with the always popular Top Note Die and Big Shot. Just fold it in half and decorate! I stamped some leaves from the Fall Fest Photopolymer Bundle and cut out with the matching framelits, both of which come in a Bundle so you can save 15% if you buy the stamps and framelits together. The words are from a stamp in the For All Things Stamp Set, only the words I wanted colored in with an Early Espresso Stampin’ Write Marker and punched out with the Extra-Large Oval Punch.

Banner Blessings Photopolymer Stamp Set

Today Stampin’ Up! introduced this beautiful new stamp set, Banner Blessings Photopolymer Stamp Set #136720. You can read the whole article on the Stampin’ Up! Blog about the Demonstrator who created the Banner Blessings Stamp Set for a contest. Very interesting story and especially poignant today on Veteran’s Day as she was in the Air Force for nine years. You’ll read about where she came up with the “Shine” stamp in this set.

Here are some projects you could copy to make with this new stamp set! You’ll see more on the SU Blog!
