Because tomorrow is a FIRST in the 25-year history of Stampin’ Up!

Tomorrow, ONLY, May 31, 2013 beginning at Noon Mountain Time, (translate that time to your own time zone. For me in the Central Time zone that translates to 1 p.m.!) and lasting until midnight Mountain Time (1 a.m. for me) you will be able to order from THREE CATALOGS: the retiring 2012-2013 Annual Catalog, the 2013 Occasions seasonal catalog, AND the NEW 2013-2014 Annual Catalog! AMAZING!

Online Ordering will be down from midnight, May 31, till noon Mountain Time, at which time all the item codes will be turned on and we are off!!!!!!

You can contact me direct to place your order, but you can also place your order through my Online Store just by clicking on the “Shop Now” button in the upper left corner of this blog. You will be prompted to set up an account and the order will be shipped direct to you!

If your order total reaches $150 or more (before shipping and sales tax is added in), you will also be eligible to choose Hostess Benefits of at least $25 free! Tomorrow only you will be able to choose your free from any of the three catalogs, even choosing from the Hostess Exclusive stamp sets from all three catalogs! WOW!

While we are waiting for tomorrow, I have more virtual swaps to share with you, using Wildflower Meadow stamps and Textured Impressions Folder!


Wildflower meadow illuminate
This beauty was stamped with the Illuminate Glimmer Watermark Stampin’ Pad, which IS carrying over into the New catalog!


Wildflower meadow red

Love the Stripe embossed background cut with an Oval Collection Framelit to “frame” the markered Wildflower Meadow stamp!


Wildflower meadow  markers
Another markered beauty! This one has the envelope generation-stamped to achieve the lighter-stamped look!


Wildflower meadow coastal cabana
New In-Color Coastal Cabana was brayered onto the folder before the paper was inserted for this one! Label Love stamp was punched with the Artisan Label punch! The Natural 7/16″ Trim is also carrying over!


Wildflowr meadow 1
Another marker sensation, this time was probably spritzed with water before stamping to give it the watercolor look!


Wildflower meadow 2

This final one I am CASEING for my New Catalog Open House on Saturday! It’s a fantastic example of “spotlighting” by my good friend Patsy Waggoner!

That’s all for today! I’ll be back in the morning for a little more swap love while we wait for OEX to open at noon MT!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Countdown to the NEW Catalog Day #3, Kind & Cozy!

Stampin’ Up! Countdown to the NEW Catalog Day #3, Kind & Cozy!

Good morning! Can you believe it? Only TWO MORE SLEEPS until the New Catalog starts! I can hardly wait!

I'm busy as the proverbial ol' bee this week, getting ready for THREE, yes I said THREE, big events this weekend! They are a follows:

Friday evening: my daughter, Alisa and her husband, Cody, are hosting their annual "Summer Bash" at our house! This involves a bonfire with hotdogs & 'smores, hamburgers on the grill, all the rest of your traditional picnic trimmings, kickball, volleyball, LOTS OF FRIENDS, and of course, mosquitos!

Saturday afternoon 1-6 p.m.: I'm hosting my annual "New Catalog Open House"! This involves Make n' Takes, doorprizes, gifts, refreshments, a BOGO sale, and of course the giving out of the New 2013-2014 Annual Catalog for FREE, many of which will be spiral-bound for those who RSVP to me by today and attend!

Sunday afternoon 2-4 p.m.: My daughters are hosting a baby shower at our church for Cody & Alisa and baby Oakley, who is scheduled to arrive sometime in early July!

Whew! I get a little tired just thinking about it all!

Today's new catalog samples I downloaded from a "virtual swap" I participated in with a Facebook group I belong to called "Stampin' Leaders". 

This sample used the set we received in Fiji, Kind & Cozy, with new Gingham Garden designer paper:

Gingham garden kind & cozy

This sample uses Gingham Garden paper again to create a cute little seed-packet card. Notice the flower embellishment? It was created with our new Buttons & Blossoms Simply Pressed Clay Molds and Simply Pressed Clay!

Gingham garden simply pressed clay

Another Kind & Cozy sample, this time with Gingham Garden Washi Tape to accent so easily!

Gingham garden thinking of you

 

And last but not least, this sample used Gingham Garden Washi Tape with the Beautiful Butterfly Die to create a custom butterfly embellishment!


Gingham garden washi tape

That's all for today! I'm off to get busy on my "To Do" list for today!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’Up! Countdown to the NEW Catalog Day #2!

Stampin’Up! Countdown to the NEW Catalog Day #2!

Good Morning! Now that I think about it a "countdown" starts at a higher number and counts DOWN to zero, and I'm counting up! Oh well, we all know that when we get to Friday, May 31st, we can order from the new catalog, and that's all that really matters, doesn't it?

Today's sample is a perfect blend of current and new! Lookie:

Dress up soho

The dress is cut from NEW Soho Subway Designer Paper, and the Blushing Bride (a returning In-Color that is now a CORE Subtles color!) strip behind the dress has been embossed with NEW Modern Mosaic Textured Impressions Folder.

I LOVE how the creator (wish it was me but, alas, is not!) used the Designer Frames Folder and the Extra Large Oval punch with Silver Glimmer Paper to create the "mirror"!

Beautiful finishing touches: the "Pearl" necklace and the Blushing Bride flower punched with one of the Itty Bitty Shapes Punches!

That's all for today! I've a LOOOOONG list of "to do's" to get done today before my stamp camp in West Frankfort at the GrandOArt Studio!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

All products used are ©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

Just a few days left to order from the retired lists! Click on the "SHOP NOW" button in the upper left corner of this blog to go to my Online Store to place your order!
