Today is the big day that the Occasions catalog goes live. At the moment Stampin’ Up! is having an unfortunate situation, their entire system is down, including online ordering, email, phone lines, etc. Frustrating for them and frustrating for everyone who is excited to place their orders out of the new catalog!!
In the meantime here are some links so that you can look (drool) over the Occasions and Sale-a-bration catalogs. Also, if you expected to receive these catalogs in the mail from me and didn’t, please contact me!
On a personal note, my mom was in a car accident early last week. She broke her elbow and had surgery to repair it. She was in the hospital for four days but came home on Friday. We are having some challenges but I am so thankful that she is still here with us. It could have been so much worse.
I will be popping in and out here as I can but right now all of my energy is focused on my mom. She needs constant help which is so frustrating for her. I think (I hope) we are finally heading in the direction where each day is getting a little better but it’s one day at a time.
I do check my email so if you have any questions about the sale or ordering (anything), don’t hesitate to reach out.
Stampin’ Up! has excess inventory of the Detailed Floral Thinlits Dies so they’ve put them on sale! Normally they are $29.00 but you can get them this month for $14.50
Detailed Floral Thinlits Dies #141482
Because of the intricate designs, it is recommended that you use the Precision Base Plate as it really does help release all of the small pieces of paper. I like to use the Die Brush too. This die really creates beautiful projects!
To purchase the Detailed Floral Thinlits dies, click here to head on over to my Stampin’ Up! online store!
It’s no secret that I love my Big Shot. I’m so happy when there are new products to use with it! The Hexagons Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder is debuting in the Occasions catalog.
It’s different from a regular embossing folder in that it creates deep, dimensional embossed impressions. Your paper is lightly spritzed with water to help achieve that deep impression and then you run it through the Big Shot!
The Hexagons Dynamic embossing folder is part of a new suite called Urban Underground!
This same type of folder was first introduced in the Holiday Catalog with the Cable Knit Dynamic Embossing Folder (it isn’t retiring and is still available for purchase). Below you’ll find a video showcasing the Cable Knit folder but it’s the same process for the Hexagons Dynamic Textured folder. Enjoy!

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!
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
