I am so happy that you are joining us for our blog hop!   We are a group of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from around the world who are Hoppin’ With Exciting Ideas to share with you. Today we will feature the Peaceful Poppies Suite from the 2020 mini Stampin’ Up! Catalog. I know you will find a lot of wonderful ideas that are shared today!

The Peaceful Poppies Suite has been one of the most popular suites in the new 2020 Stampin' Up! mini catalog.  In this suite there are two stamp sets, Painted Poppies and Peaceful Moments.  Both of them have coordinating dies, which you can get at a 10% discount if you buy them (stamp set and dies) as a bundle.  Yay!

On my card for this blog hop I used 3 different products from the suite.  I used the Peaceful Poppies designer series paper, Painted Labels dies and the Peaceful Moments stamp set.  I wanted to soften the designer series paper so I added a piece of vellum over it. 

To make this card you will need the following paper.  For a complete list of all the products I used, please see the end of this post.

Cardstock:

Black

• cut at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4"
• cut at 3 1/4" x 3 1/4"

Pool Party

• scrap for 1 3/4" circle

Vellum

• cut at 4" x 5 1/4"

Whisper White

• cut at 4" x 5 1/4" for inside of the card
• scrap for 1 1/2" circle

 Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper

• cut at 4" x 5 1/4"
• cut at 3/4" x 5 1/4"

I popped up the sentiment with Stampin Dimensionals.  To finish the card I added some rhinestones to give it a little bit of bling.  You have to love bling!

Over the holidays I went through my craft room and cleaned out every drawer, bin, pile and/or basket in my craft room.  I changed some of the decor and tried to update other things.  I took down some cards that I had hanging up and put up new ones.  One of the cards I found was the same layout as the card above.  It looks so different with the new colors and designer series paper.  

I love the bright colors in the Best Dressed designer series paper.  This paper so pretty and was perfect to pair it with the Timeless Tulips stamp set.  Do you remember the lily stamp set from last year?  This set reminds me a lot of that stamp set.  Both of them are the disINKtive style of stamps, which gives you so much dimensions in the color.  There is a punch that coordinates with the Timeless Tulips stamp set.  You can both the stamp set and punch as a bundle and save 10%.  I am all about saving money.  How about you?

To make this project you will need the following paper.  For a complete list of all the products I used, please see the end of this post.

Best Dressed Designer Series Paper

• cut at 1 7/8" x 3 1/2"

The sentiment is from the Peaceful Moments stamp set from the new mini catalog.  I used Wink of Stella on the flowers and stems to give them a little shine.  It really makes the flowers pop on this card.

I can't tell you how excited I was when I saw the Country Club Suite in the 2020 Stampin' Up! mini catalog.  Mr. Wonderful grew up on a golf course and still loves to golf.  Erica loves to play too.  Emily and I not so much.  LOL  We would rather go shopping!

One of the swaps I participated in was a designer series paper swap.  On your card you had to use designer series paper and accessories from the 2020 Stampin' Up! mini catalog.  Mr. Wonderful has a birthday next month, so I designed this card with him in mind.  I used the Clubhouse stamp set with the Country Club designer series paper.  

The Country Club Suite has awesome products to make beautiful, or should I say, handsome, cards.  There is the Clubhouse stamp set and Golf Club dies (you can get both of them as a bundle and save 10%).  Also in the suite are Country Club designer series paper, Absolutely Argyle 3D Embossing Folder, Country Club Twine Combo Pack and Country Club Elements.  There are so many possibilities with this suite.  

To make this project you will need the following paper.  For a complete list of all the products I used, please see the end of this post.

Cardstock:

Whisper White Thick

• cut at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4"

Crushed Curry

• cut at 2 5/8" x 4 1/8"

Garden Green

• cut at 1/2" x 5 1/2"

• scrap for 1 1/2" circle

Country Club Designer Series Paper

Do you have a golfer in your family or friends?  This is a perfect suite for them.  

Thank you for stopping by today.  Have a great day and weekend!

When a new catalog comes out from Stampin' Up! it is such an exciting time!  I love to look at the new products (and play) and get inspiration for the new ideas for projects.  Another fun event with a new catalog is that there are a lot of different swaps.   If you don't know a swap is, it is where you make a number, usually 12, of the same card and send them to the organizer.  Then she will sort them out and you will get back 11 different cards.  So, basically you are swapping your card with 12 other people, just through the mail.  This is a great way to get inspiration from others and samples of the different stamp sets in the catalog. 

The above card is one of my cards that I made for a Sale-A-Bration swap.  Due to the holidays, I was running behind in working on my cards, so I needed something fast and easy.  I was excited about the Thoughtful Blooms stamp set because it had a coordinating punch, the Small Bloom punch.  You all know how I love punches.  You can get both of these for FREE during Sale-A-Bration.   

During Sale-A-Bration, January 3 through March 31st, you can choose a FREE products from the brochure for every $50 you spend on products before shipping and tax.   If you spend $100 or more there are additional options for FREE  products.  You can order products from the annual or mini catalogs. 

To make this project you will need the following paper.  For a complete list of all the products I used, please see the end of this post.

Cardstock:

Whisper White Thick

• cut at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4"

Whisper White

• cut at 4" x 5 1/4"
• scraps for flowers

One thing that I really like about this card is that it only has two colors, black and Petal Pink.  Did you notice the Champagne Rhinestones on the flowers stamped with black ink?  They are one of many beautiful products in the 2020 Stampin' Up! Mini catalog.  For the Rhinestone on the Petal Pink flower I used a black Sharpie to color it.  

You could change the whole look of this card, just by changing the color of the middle flower.   How fun!

Thank you for stopping by today.  I really appreciate you taking time out of your day.

When I saw the Dressed To Impress stamp set and coordinating dies, All Dressed Up, I knew some of my customers were going to go crazy for them.  So, of course, I had to get them too!  I have to admit, I have gone crazy for them too.  They are so fun!  

The Best Dressed note cards only took a few minutes to make.  They were so fast and easy.  They are perfect if you need a quick note card for someone, or a small card to put with a gift. 

To make these you only need three products.  The Dressed To Impress stamp set, Best Dressed Note cards and Basic Gray ink.  The colors of the cards are Daffodil Delight, Petal Pink and Purple Posy.

In the All Dressed Up Dies there is a die to make the adorable purse in the bottom of the above picture.  You can make it like a purse or a backpack.  The Best Dressed notecards fit perfectly into the purse.

For my customer appreciation event on Sunday, I am using this suite for one of my projects.  I can't wait for the attendees to see it.  I will share it with all of you next week after my event.  I don't want them to know about it yet.  

As you know I have been doing Facebook lives on Monday nights for quite awhile now.  I think it might even be almost a year.  I have really enjoyed doing them and I hope you have too.  Due to other commitments I am not going to be able to do them every week.  I will, however, be making videos and including them on my blog post.   I will occasionally do Facebook lives and will let you know ahead of time when they will be. 

I hope all of you have a great day and week. 

Happy Stampin and

The Stampin' Up! Mini Catalog is now live!!!  There are so many things that I love about this catalog.  First, is the layout.  It is totally different than any of the catalogs Stampin' Up! has had.   There is

• bundles are in the front
• suites are beautifully displayed
• kits section (page 58)

It's Sale-A-Bration time!!!  After the holidays it is always a little bit of a let down for me.  The hustle and bustle of the holiday season is gone, the weather is cold and rainy/snowy here in Ohio.  Then, my world is alive again when it is Sale-A-Bration!!!  Who doesn't love to get FREE products.  I sure do! 

Here are the details

• for every $50 you spend choose a FREE product, there's no limit!
• or spend $100 for additional options of FREE products
• there are beautiful products to choose from
• a special HOST set that is so cute!

On page 17 of the Sale-A-Bration brochure there is a Little Ladybug stamp set that you can get FREE when you host a workshop and have sales of $300 or more. This stamp set will only be available during Sale-A-Bration.  

Isn't this stamp set so stinkin' cute!!!  I love it!

We made this fast and easy card when I went to the Stampin' Up! OnStage event using the Timeless Tulips stamp set and Tulip Builder punch.  The tulips are one of my top picks from the new 2020 Mini catalog and I love the fact that there is a coordinating punch. 

The first stamp set I used when I was creating my swap cards for the new catalog was the Timeless Tulips.  I will be sharing my swap cards with all of you soon.  

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you have a great weekend!

Happy Stampin and

I have one word for this months Stampin' Up! Paper Pumpkin kit.  WOW!!!  I love the tags and how you can use them in other projects too. 

This is how the kit is designed, 4 different tag designs and supplies to make 6 of each design.  

These are my alternative projects that I made with the Paper Pumpkin kit.  The card on the right is from the October Paper Pumpkin kit.  I added a dear from this month's kit.  I love how it looks.  

Here is the video I did to show you how to put the kit together along with how to make my alternative projects. 

Have a great day!  Thank you so much for stopping in today.

Happy Stampin and

My favorite type of card to make is any of the fun folds.  This card is an easy fun fold, that makes the card unique.  Did you know there were Christmas stamp sets in Stampin' Up! annual catalog?  I have been busy playing with the products in the holiday catalog, that I forgot.  Today, I used the Lots of Cheer stamp set and paper from the Come Sail Away designer series pack, which both are in the annual catalog. 

I love to color, so I really enjoyed making this card.  This time I used the Stampin Write markers with Stazon ink.  The markers are water based so you need to use an alcohol based ink for the outline, which Stazon is.  I used the Balmy Blue, Basic Gray, Night of Navy, Pumpkin Pie and Real Red.

To make this project you will need the following paper.  For a complete list of all the products I used, please see the end of this post.

Cardstock:

Balmy Blue

• cut at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" score at 2 1/4" x 6 1/4"
• cut at 2 3/8" x 3 7/8"

Night Of Navy

• cut at 2 1/2" x 4"

Whisper White

• cut at 2 1/4" x 3 3/4"

Come Sail Away Designer Series Paper

• cut 2 at 1 7/8" x 5 1/4"

I used the Subtle embossing folder on the piece of Whisper White after I stamped and colored the snowman and stamped the sentiment.  

How cute is the little snowman.  A few years ago I made a snowman out of boxes just like this one.  I will need to find him and make him again.  

On Monday night I will be sharing with you the November Stampin' Up! Paper Pumpkin.  I will make the kit as designed and I will also make some alternative projects with the kit.  

Last weekend I went to OnStage in Lansing, MI and had so much fun.  We were having such a good time that we totally forgot to take any pictures.  I realized that on my way home and I was so bummed.  I am not sure when the Stampin Babes will be together again.  I did get a picture with my partner in crime (LOL) and one of my best friends Robin.  

I love this picture of us.

This is what was sitting at our seat when we went to Center Stage.  Center Stage is for demonstrators who have the title Silver Elite and above.  

This is what we got at CenterStage.  Everyone got the backpack, pens and Timeless Tulips stamp set.  The little holder on my backpack is a card holder.  I am using it for my business cards.

I didn't know I was getting recognized for my sales and recruiting.  It was a great surprise!

This is all of the goodies we got when we attended OnStage.  I can't wait to start playing with them.

The new Stampin' Up! 2020 Mini Catalog (yes, they changed the name) will be coming out in December.  Would you like one?  If you have ordered from me in 2019, you will get one in the mail from me, unless you are a demonstrator.  If you are not on that list, let me know by November 28th and I will add to my list. 


I am so excited about tomorrow.  Emily and Jeff are coming home for a whole week.  I am one happy mom!  I hope you have a great weekend!  See you on Monday!

I know I have been showing you a lot of Christmas projects lately, so I thought I would share with you a birthday card using a stamp set, Perennial Birthday, from the Stampin' Up! annual catalog.  I did use the Gathered Leaves dies from the holiday catalog too.

I want to thank Doris Schneider for sharing her card online with all of us.  I liked it so much, I didn't change anything on it.  That is one thing that I absolutely love about Stampin' Up!  Everyone is so willing to share their creations with others.  When someone wants to make one of my cards, I always tell them, that is the best compliment you can give me.   

To make this project you will need the following paper.  For a complete list of all the products I used, please see the end of this post.

Cardstock:

Whisper White Thick

• cut at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4"

Mint Macaron

Pretty Peacock

• cut at 4 1/8" x 5 3/8"

Whisper White

• cut at 4" x 5 1/4"

Come To Gather Designer Series Paper

I love the simplicity of this card and how just by changing the designer series paper and colors you can have a total different look.

Thank you for stopping by today.  I really appreciate it!
