If you are someone who has ordered your Stampin’ Up! supplies from me, please know that I am always so very appreciative!
When you place an online order and choose me as your demonstrator, I’ll send some goodies your way! First, you’ll receive a thank you card made with supplies from the current catalogs. You’ll also receive a small handmade gift, again made with Stampin’ Up! supplies (it has to be something that I can easily send via snail mail). In addition, if you use the monthly host code (the code changes monthly and can be found on the right hand side of my blog below the Order Online button), I will send you an additional surprise. Scroll down to see what I sent out to my April customers yesterday!
First up is my thank you card! I used the stamp set Picture Perfect which was in the Occasions catalog but I am so happy to say that it will be carried over into the new catalog which comes out in June.
Can you see the pretty shimmer? I achieved this look using a Wink of Stella Glitter Brush (clear) . It’s so easy – you just brush it on..
Next up is the thank you gift I sent. It is a quick and easy pouch with a few little treats inside.
And here’s the gift I sent out for using the Host Code – supplies to make three Poppers.
Over the next few days I will showcase each of these projects on my blog with directions and the supplies I used.
Click here to see all of the products that are retiring! Accessories are while supplies last and stamp sets can be ordered until May 22, 2016.
I thought I would list some of my very favorite Stampin’ Up! retiring accessories. All of these products are while supplies last! I have linked each product to my Stampin’ Up! online store.

Yesterday was a whirlwind day for Stampin’ Up! and I apologize if it was frustrating for some of you. With the release of the retirement list and orders being placed, the SU! website was overloaded and down for some time. I believe that you should now be able to place an order without difficulties. Again, I apologize for any and all frustration yesterday!
I realize that the list can be a bit overwhelming. I have gone through and marked in my catalog all of the retired products. If you are curious about whether some of your favorites are retiring, send me an email and I’d be happy to look it up for you!
Stamps will be available until May 22nd.
Everything else (punches, ribbon, Big Shot accessories, buttons, etc.) are while supplies last.
The PDF list will be updated daily so be sure to check back. I looked this morning and only a few items are no longer available.
Any questions, please ask!
April Host Code: 4BJ4ZJ9N

All of the products retiring in the Stampin’ Up! 2015-2016 catalog can be found here! Some items will go very fast so act quickly if you have your heart set on something!
The Retiring List for the 2015-2016 Stampin’ Up! Catalog will be posted on the demonstrator website at noon, Pacific Time. I’ve heard that the list is very extensive but that the new catalog is awesome. Attendees of the Stampin’ Up! “convention” this past weekend were given copies and excitement is high!
I will post the list as soon as I have viewed it. If there’s anything on it that you want, I suggest purchasing it as soon as you can, as everything except stamp sets, will be while supplies last! If history repeats itself, some items will be gone today.
I love paper! With each and every Stampin’ Up! catalog release there’s always one pack of paper that I fall in love with and use over and over again. If you follow my blog, you’ve probably already guessed that Birthday Bouquet is my current favorite.
One of the ways that I like to use my paper is to place it in the cover sleeve of a binder. The binder on the right shows one design from Birthday Bouquet and the Copic binder paper has unfortunately retired.
I typed up the titles on my computer and then cut them out with the Ovals Framelits. The largest die in the set has the scalloped edges which was perfect as a base for my title. It’s a fun way to jazz up a binder!
I’d love to hear other ways that you’ve used paper!
Have a great day!

I really enjoy making these Dahlia flowers and I thought it would be fun to make one with paper in the Occasions catalog for Throwback Thursday! You can see a previous post here which also includes a tutorial. Want to see two more samples? Click here (I love this paper and wish it was still available) andhere.
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask! Have a great day!
Product List – Click on any product below for more information or to place an order. Updated: I realized that I forgot to list the most important punches that I used to create my flower: 1-3/4″ Circle Punch for the actual flowers and the 2-1/2″ Circle Punch (currently on the retirement list) for the base.
This week the Rose Wonder Thinlits and the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits are both on sale! Here are several past projects that I created with both of them. Unfortunately the paper that I used on the treat bags is no longer available. I’ve included a video from Stampin’ Up! at the end of the post showing you how easy the treat bags are to assemble.

I’m late in my announcement but the winner from last week is
Jen Amaro!
Congrats Jen! You’ll be receiving three Treat Bag kits in the mail!
Today’s card uses some masking and it was my first time trying this technique. My flowers are from the set Helping Me Grow and my sentiment is in the Rose Wonder set.
I used Memento ink to stamp my flowers and colored them in with Copic markers. Using some masking paper, I stamped and cut out two flowers. I stamped one flower onto my Whisper White card base and then covered it up with the mask.
Then I stamped on top of the mask to give the illusion of one flower being behind the other one. Sometimes I had to place the mask on two flowers at a time. It’s a fun technique!
I’m definitely a beginner using Copic markers but I do love them. For my purple flowers I used: V01, V04 and V17 and the yellow ones are: Y1, Y15 and Y17. I outlined the edges with C3. I wanted to use some Wink of Stella for a touch of sparkle but I didn’t have any on hand. Don’t you hate it when that happens?!
Thank you for stopping by today! I’ve listed all of the Stampin’ Up! products that I used below. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask!

I will always be very straightforward and honest with you. I ordered Paper Pumpkin when it first came out and I didn’t care for it. I subscribed and unsubscribed several times. BUT, I have been a loyal subscriber now for over a year and a half. Why? Because the projects are so cute AND I get a Stampin’ Spot and stamp set every month.
Stampin’ Up! sent out their millionth kit in March and they want to thank their Paper Pumpkin subscribers in April with an extra free stamp set! If you’d like to give it a try for a month and see if you like it, this is the month to do it. It is very simple to sign up but you need to do it by April 10th (this Sunday)! Click here to sign up!
Here are a few stamp sets that I’ve received in my PP past kits and my supply of Stampin’ Spots!
If after a month you decide that you don’t like it, simply unsubscribe before the 10th of the next month. It’s that easy!
Here’s a video from Stampin’ Up! that shows the contents of the kit that came out in March.

I love making cute AND easy projects and today’s project definitely fits under both of those categories. Since its Throwback Thursday I am recreating a treat bag I originally made last spring. You can see that original post HERE.
I’ll show you how easy it is to make this treat bag but first, as I mentioned yesterday, I’m celebrating my 7th Stampiversary with Stampin’ Up! this week! In honor of that, I am going to send out three of these Treat Bag kits to one lucky winner. You’ll receive a fun package in the mail with all the supplies you’ll need. I will cut, score and add the adhesive and you’ll just need to fold the flaps in (you’ll need to supply your own stamped image per Stampin’ Up!).
To enter to win, just leave a comment telling me which of the soon to be retiring In Colors (get them while you can) is your favorite! I’ll add an extra entry for you if you tell me which one is my favorite! I’ll announce the winner on Sunday, April 10th. I’m sorry but this is only open to U.S. residents.
Let me show you how easy it is to make the treat bag! You’ll need a piece of cardstock or DSP (I used Birthday Bouquet Designer Series Paper).
Card stock or DSP measurement: 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″
Score on the portrait side at 1-1/2″
Turn it around to the landscape side and score it at 1-1/2″, 4″, 5-1/2″, and 8″
Now you will do some cutting and folding on the score lines (there’s some funky line above my score line, please just ignore that). When you lay your paper down to replicate my cutting, be sure the design you want on the outside is facing towards you and that the 1-1/2″ score line is down towards the bottom. Cut on the score lines indicated below. You’ll remove the piece on the right side, trim one of the flaps (this helps the bag fold up with less bulk), and take off a hair on the sides of the other pieces (again, less bulk).
Next, add Tear and Tape or Fast Fuse in the two areas shown below. The flap on the right hand side with the adhesive will attach to the opposite side to form the box. The flap with the adhesive will hold the bottom of the box together. I’ve put the adhesive on that particular flap so that it will face towards the back of the box (that will make more sense when you assemble your box).
You could pierce a hole at the top and attach ribbon but I decided to add a clothespin with some ribbon and my sentiment. Easy!! I’ll list all of the supplies that I used below. To place an order, just click on any of the products and you’ll be directed to my online store. Any questions, don’t hesitate to ask!
