Share What You Love -- Love What You Do from Stampin' Up!

  • Sneak Peek of Share What You Love suite
  • Customers orders for Share What You Love bundles begin May 1
  • Free Gifts with Three Early Release Bundles

Share What You Love Early Release


Stampin' Up Demonstrators are busy getting ready for the new annual catalog, which is only a month away.    Today I was busy creating an updated Wish Lists, downloading new color charts and RBG codes, and creating new In Color Bookmarks.  It's all part of Doing What You Love.  I'm so blessed to be able to enjoy my craft room every day to create projects for you and to make cards and projects for friends and family.




The statement of my heart expresses so much of what I enjoy every day as a stampin' Up! Demonstrator. And that's the focus of my card today.   The new Share What You Love Suite has so many wonderful tools for demonstrators and stampers...including Gotta Have It All  Share What You Love bundle that includes the Stampin' Up! Statement of my Heart.  Demonstrators and Stampin' Up! hold this shared value and customers often tend to believe in these values as well.  Orders for this suite begin May 1.          




Stampin' Up! Statement of My Heart





Today's card uses a basecard of Crumb Cake, then a layer of Rich Razzelberry.   Then a layer of the Share What You Love Specialty Designer Paper.  

For the sentiment block, I used a Rich Razzelberry scalloped background die cut using the Layering Oval Framelits.  

Then the sentiment oval is Very Vanilla stamped with the Tuxedo Black Memento ink pad.  I used an Aqua Painter and the Rich Razzelberry stamp pad to color the heart, which is part of the sentiment stamp.   
    
    




The lovely ribbon under the sentiment block is the new 1/4" Rich Razzleberry velvet ribbon, which is included in two of the three bundles in the Share What You Love Suite.

These are the prints in the Specialty Designer Series Paper Pack.   They are a wonderful addition to this suite as they compliment the images in the stamp set, the Lovely Florals embossing folder, and work well with the new In Colors for 2018-2020. 

These papers are a bit thicker than most of our other Designer Series Papers making them perfect for creating boxes, treat holders and envelopes. Several patterns include a pearlized shimmer that matches our new doilies, and the new pearls that coordinate with this suite. 


Share What You Love Designer Series Specialty Paper
available for pre-order on May 1-31



Order the Share What You Love Early Release


May 1 is the first day you can purchase one of the three prerelease bundles from the June catalog plus the 5 new In Color stamp pads.

For a crafter with limited supplies who is just beginning to experience creativity, the first Share-What-you-Love Bundle is for you.  It includes a pack of free 5" X 3-1/2" Very Vanilla Note Cards & Envelopes, a $6.00 value. 




A stamper looking to hone their skills with a few more items to help  push your creative boundaries without pushing you over the edge, will want the "A Little More, Please" Bundle.  This  bundle includes not only the Love What you Do Stamp set, but a unique alphabet stamp set as well as several embellishments and products from the new catalog plus two free gifts.


  

The third bundle is for those who want to have it all. The Share What you Love Specialty Designer Series Paper that we used today is included in this bundle.  This bundle also includes the "Statement of My Heart" stamp, which is the only way to earn this stamp as of one of the three free gifts with this bundle.   

The free gifts are only available with the bundles May 1-31, 2018.  When the new catalog launches June 1, these free gifts are no longer available.




You're going to want to order this suite to your new catalog as soon as ordering begins Tuesday, May 1.  It's a great way to get your hands on some of the newest colors, papers and stamp sets from the new catalog -- even before the catalog is released June 1.

Also available, the new In Color Stamp Pads can be pre order May 1-31, and you'll save 10% when you purchase these new, innovative In Colors Stamp Pads between May 1-31.  The savings on the In Color stamp pads is only good during the month of May, so don't miss this opportunity when you place your May order.

Carols of Christmas bundle available to customers as an Early Release

  • Start Christmas projects early with Carols of Christmas
  • Texas Tax Free Week end on select Stampin' Up! items

Early Release Carols of Christmas bundle 


Want to shop a Christmas bundle before the September release of the Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog?  Your wish has been granted.  This bundle -- stamp set and coordinating dies -- is from the Merry Little Christmas mega suite from the upcoming Holiday Catalog, and you can purchase it now.  

It includes not only this stamp set and dies, but this mega suite includes another stamp set for making tags and a coordinating punch for tags, a number of embellishments and coordinating ribbons.  While most of the items in this mega suite will be available for customer purchases September 1.  The stamp and die set I'm highlighting today is available for purchase now -- to give you a head start in creating your hand made Christmas cards for friends and family earlier than ever.    

  



I used an Old Olive base card, with a layer of Old Olive striped paper from the Merry Little Christmas Designer Series Paper set.  The small black and white tags extending from the bottom of the sentiment block are an additional pattern from the same Designer Series Paper set.  

The large sentiment is stamped in Basis Black Archival ink.  This set include two large sentiments -- gorgeous elements for card fronts.  The boarders at the top and bottom are separate stamps making it easy to stamp them in coordinating colors.  I chose to use Basic Black for these two elements as well.  Then I covered the letters in Wink of Stella to give the card a holiday feel.


Stamp set and coordinating dies available through my online store.



The small bow at the top of the card is the 3/8" Basic Black Shimmer Ribbon,  Its attached with mini glue dots.  Tip:  Attaching bows with glue dots.  I seem to have a difficult time keeping little bows attached.  Especially when I'm using the cards on display boards or as class samples.  One trick I've learned to keep these bows attached when using glue dots is to heat the glue dots with my heat gun for a few seconds to soften the glue dots and get a stronger hold of the ribbon by holding it on the softened glue dots for a few seconds.  Its like attaching them with a hot glue gun.

Stampin' Up! has two excellent video with tips for using this stamp set and how to use the coordinating dies to create window effects, shaker cards and die cut elements for your cards.  One was in my last blog post.  Below is an additional video
