One of the things I love about Stampin’ Up! is that they help me figure out color coordination. Trying to decide which colors go together is not one of my strengths. Luckily Stampin’ Up! lists the colors that go with their designer series paper. On the paper stacks, you can find the list on the front.
On the 12″ x 12″ packages, you can find it on the back.
You can also find help in the catalog as they are listed there too! Cardstock packages are also available that match each pack of paper.
If you haven’t purchased our paper packs before, I recommend choosing a few of the colors (or all of them) that coordinate. Whisper White or Very Vanilla are also a must (you’ll need it to stamp your sentiment)!

I’m almost a bit embarrased to include this as a tip but it works for me so I should share, right?
I really am a fan of photopolymer stamps. Why? Because I want stamping to be stress free and I love that I can see right through the stamp to my paper, ESPECIALLY when I’m stamping a sentiment.
When I use clear or wood stamps, I always use Stampin’ Mist with my Stampin’ Scrub to get them nice and clean. But when I use photopolymer, the Stampin’ Scrub seems to add more ink to the stamps and I prefer to use a baby wipe.
While I’m busy creating on my craft table, I’m always looking for somewhere to set the used wipe down because I can continue to use it during a craft session multiple times. I was rummaging through one of my drawers and found the container below. I smacked myself on the forehead and thought, of course, why didn’t I think to just put it into some sort of bowl??? So simple.
While I’m at it, I’ll share the container that I got on Amazon for the wipes. It is GREAT! If you don’t open it for weeks, the wipes do not dry out. The weighted plate makes it easy to grab one wipe at a time. I have another one that I use when I change my grandson’s diapers. If you’d like more information about this wonderful wipes dispenser, I’ll put a link at the end of the post.
As I mentioned, Stampin’ Mist and Stampin’ Scrub are both great for cleaning your clear and wood mount stamps!

The Stampin’ Up! Year-End Closeout Sale started yesterday! As the information was released early yesterday, I tried to read all of the information about it as quickly as I could so I could get a blog post out as soon as possible. I will be the first to admit that a lot about the sale was a bit confusing. Lots of great information but a lot to take in.
There are several things going on at once during the Year-End Sale and not everything is on sale but many products are!
Retiring Holiday Products
Many products in the Holiday Catalog are retiring, some of which are on sale! The list is updated Monday – Friday with items that have sold out. Click here to see the Holiday Product Retiring list. This list contains all items from the 2016 Holiday Catalog that are retiring and will no longer be available for purchase after January 3, 2017. If it’s easier, check out this post to see what isn’t retiring. Please note:
Retiring stamp sets are guaranteed available until December 21, after which they will be only available while supplies last.
Retiring accessories will only be available while supplies last.
You’ll find all of these items under Year-End Closeouts.
You’ll find:
In the Bundles section not all of the items are retiring BUT the bundle package price will no longer be available (10% off).
In the Everything Else section, you’ll find lots of products! PLUS you’ll see items from the Annual Catalog that are on sale because Stampin’ Up! has a big inventory of those products. (Be sure to click ALL so that everything shows up!!!!)
The Layering Circles Framelit Dies are in this section! Normally $35.00 but now on sale for $17.50!! That is just too good to pass up!! I use these all the time!!! Click here to see them in the store.
