Stampin’ Up! Occasions Catalog Sneak Peek

Are you ready for a sneak peek into the Occasions catalog?  As a demo, I was able to purchase from the catalog at the beginning of the month.  I’ve been playing with all of my fun new products and I’ve even been creating a class that I’ll offer soon!

If you know me, you know that I LOVE flowers.  I immediately hone in on anything that has to do with flowers when a new catalog comes out. There’s a new bundle called Special Reason.  It comes with the stamp set Special Reason and the Stylish Stems Framelits Dies.  Aren’t the projects from Stampin’ Up! (below) just gorgeous?

Yes, I bought this bundle and played around with it the other day.  I was trying to make the Calypso Coral flower that’s shown on the bag and I could not figure it out UNTIL I watched the Stampin’ Up! video this morning.  You have to use both of the Framelits that are shown in front of the bag.  I can’t wait to get to my Big Shot and give it a try.

Check out the video below and you’ll see what I mean!  But first, if you’ve ordered from me this year, I had Stampin’ Up! send your catalogs to you.  They should be arriving any day! If you don’t already have a demonstrator and would like these catalogs, email me (tracy@stampingwithtracy.com) your address and I’ll send them out!

Enjoy the video!

Earn a Free Stampin’ Up! Stamp Set!

Who wouldn’t want to earn a free stamp set??? 

When you place an order at my Stampin’ Up! online store, you earn Bradley Points!  With each $25 order (excluding shipping/tax) you’ll earn a point.  Collect 16 points and you’ll be able to redeem them for a free stamp set valued at $39.00 or less!

Here’s How It Works:

  • You’ll earn 1 point for every $25 increment in Stampin’ Up! product you order (before shipping/tax). For example, an order of $24.99 would not receive a point. An order of $51.00, would receive 2 points. Separate orders cannot be combined.
  • All orders must be placed with me, either in person or online. Look for my name in the upper right hand corner of the shopping page. Please use the host code for the month (it can be found on the right hand side of my blog) when placing your order (you’ll receive an extra thank you gift for using it). The host code changes each month.
  • When you receive your thank you card from me, I’ll let you know how many points you earned. When you reach 16 points, contact me with the name and item number of your free stamp set by emailing me at tracy@stampingwithtracy.com.
  • I’ll confirm your points and then place your order!
  • Clearance Rack items can be included in your order as well as any other products currently on sale.
  • Please do not use the host code for any orders $150 or above.  You will receive host rewards but if you use my host code, you won’t be able to get them.  You will still earn Bradley Points!
  • Host items and Bundles are not available as your free items.
  • Your free stamp set must be redeemed within 1 year of receiving your 16th
  • This program is effective December 1, 2016. Terms and conditions are subject to change.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask!

Envelope Punch Board Treats Tutorial

Yesterday I shared these little treats and today I want to show you how easy they are to make!  You’ll need a 4 x 4 sheet of Designer Series Paper and the Envelope Punch Board. 

Step 1:  Just as the first photo shows, line up the edge of your paper with the 2″ line.

Step 2:  Score, beginning where I show in the photo.  There’s a groove in the Envelope Punch Board, so you’ll just continue to score down.  Be sure to punch.

Step 3:  See the directions below.

Step 4:  Score just as you did in step 2 and punch.

Step 5:  Repeat the same process on the remaining sides.

That’s it!

Fold on the score lines and pop your treat inside.  I used a glue dot to close it shut.  Decorate and you’re done!

These would look cute at your holiday table with the initial of each person sitting at the table with you.  I’m not home, otherwise I would make one to show you as a sample.  If you make one, I’d love to see it!

Below you’ll find the products I used to make my treat holders.  Unfortunately the paper with the peppermints has sold out so I haven’t listed it. 

The stamp set I used for my sentiment is on the retirement list and on sale! (Retiring stamp sets are guaranteed available until December 21, after which they will be only available while supplies last.)

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask!

Envelope Punch Board Treats

Happy Monday!  Quick post today as I’m heading out to do some Christmas shopping. I’m an online shopping type of girl but today I’m braving the crowds.  Although I must say, I’m sure all of the Christmas decorations will put a smile on my face.  Which do you prefer, shopping online or getting out to the mall?

These are some treats I sent out last week to customers who shopped with me!  They were so easy to make with the Envelope Punch Board.  Tomorrow I’ll post a tutorial in case you want to make some yourself!

Have a wonderful day!

Stampin’ Up! Occasions Catalog & My Blog

I get very excited when a new catalog comes out and the Occasions catalog is no different! 

If you don’t already have a demonstrator and would like a catalog, email me (tracy@stampingwithtracy.com) your address and I’d be happy to send one off to you!  If you have ordered from me within the last six months, I’m having Stampin’ Up! mail your catalogs (Sale-a-bration too).  They should be arriving soon!  You can begin to order from this catalog on January 4th!

I wanted to let you know that several days ago I noticed that my blog posts were not showing up properly on my blog.  The top post looks correct but the remaining posts only show the titles and not the graphics.  If you click on each individual post, they will show up correctly.  I’ve contacted someone who will be able to help me to rectify the problem but it will take several weeks. 

Until then, I will continue to post and keep my fingers crossed that a new problem won’t crop up.
