I wanted to share with you two of my favorite products in the new catalog!  

You are not going to believe this! Take just 4 minutes to watch this video! You won't believe what this stamp set does! 

In April, Stampin' Up! demonstrators from all over the world saw a demonstration on this stamp set.  When you watch it, I bet you do what we all did.. we gasped!  

Take a look....

Is that too cool or what?? 

I was so pleased and excited when I got my new catalog and the first item in it was the beautiful planner.  It has been so well designed and the papers and colors are so lovely!  It was the first item I ordered today! I can't wait to get it! 

Take a look at this video and you'll see all the product details.

It's makes a great gift or to keep for yourself (wink wink).

I am so so so excited to let you know that Stampin' Up! announced this week that we’ve partnered with the amazing Becky Higgins to bring you the real deal—authentic Project Life products, now in exclusive Stampin’ Up! colors and designs. If you’ve somehow missed the Project Life craze and are wondering what it’s all about, we’ll fill you in: it’s a super simple, totally affordable way to get your photos into albums: you just slip your photos into Photo Pocket Pages and add designed cards. It’s a back-to-basics approach to documenting your life. In a nutshell, it’s all about spending more time making memories and less time scrapbooking them.

You’ll be able to order a selection of Project Life products starting May 1! And with the launch of our new annual catalog on June 2, you’ll be able to buy from our complete line of Project Life products.

Can’t wait that long? Stampin’ Up! demonstrators will be able to order the limited selection starting April 21. So if you’re a demonstrator make sure to check the demonstrator website that day; if you’re not a demonstrator, sign up and you can order the products early too!

Here are the items you’ll be able to purchase on May 1:

Contact me if you have any questions.

3. Using the Staz On Jet Black Pad stamp the images on each folded “page” of the fold out card as shown.  Stamp the sentiment on the last page. 
4. Place several drops of the three ink refills on the paper plate.  Using the Blender Pen, pick up color from the refill ink palette and color in the images on the fold out card. 
5. Allow to dry (just takes a few seconds) and then close the card on score lines.  Using the Snail Adhesive, adhere the last “page” to the Island Indigo piece on the front of the card.  Tie the ribbon to close up the card.
