It's Epic!

A couple weeks ago at retreat my dear friend Frankie (Hi Frankie!) made a wonderful card that I immediately wanted to CASE the layout.  Creating with friends is so fun and inspiring.  I took the plunge and cut my precious This and That Epic Day DSP.  It's the DSP that coordinates with the This and That book and washi tape.  The DSP is trendy and a must-have in your stash.

Change the color of the vintage faceted designer buttons by placing a small circle of any cardstock or DSP behind the button.  Today is the LAST day you can get the This and That bundle at a 15% discount. This and That products, including the Epic Day DSP will be available in the 2013-2014 catalog, but never again at this reduced price!

Have a great day,
SHERRI

New Kit!!

Mother's Day. Teacher appreciation. Just because. Say thank you with this no-maintenance bouquet. There's no watering, no weeding-just enjoying. This easy-to-assemble kit comes complete with the petals, stems, and buttons to create the flowers, as well as four different tags to make this the perfect gift for any occasion. All you need is some paper, ribbon or a vase to add the finishing touches to the bouquet.

As if that weren't enough, the kit contains a "baker's dozen"! This means you can create and give (or keep) a dozen flowers, and have a bonus flower left over to pass along to someone new! Give it to someone you wouldn't normally think of: a teller at the bank, a grocery store clerk, or the librarian at your local library. Anyone you encounter on your way that you'd like to give a little "thank you" to-and introduce them to Stampin' Up!

Another one for Mom

Still working on my Mother's Day card (Hi mom! This is not the one you'll get!).  This one uses MDS to create the quote panel.

I love making frames and this one was created by cutting an Apothecary Accent Framelit and keeping the negative, embossing it and laying it over the quote panel.  It's popped up with dimensionals.

Secret Garden framelits add some details without stamping.  

Have a great day! I'm off to see the Reds play ball with friends!
Don't forget Mother's Day is May 12th!

Here's another great set that's retiring!  Yikes! That's a scrap of cardstock that's folded over in faux ribbon pleats.

I love this Designer Series Paper and this color combination!  Good thing Pool Party is sticking around.  It looks great with Summer Starfruit and Soft Suede.

(9) Photopolymer stamps!

What makes them so great?

• They're entirely transparent for perfect placement every time! 

• They are durable. The photopolymer material is designed to last. 

• Can you say sticky? (Don't worry; in a good way.) These stamps stick amazingly well to our clear blocks.

• They're age tested. They won't yellow or cloud up over time. 

• We could go on, but we'll let you try them for yourself.

Photopolymer stamps will be offered on a trial basis. Based on popularity, we hope to release more photopolymer stamp sets over the coming months. At this time we don't plan on offering a line of photopolymer sets as expansive as our wood-mount and clear-mount lines.

Not available in wood-mount or clear-mount.  

All photopolymer will be packaged in cello bag w/insert, but don't forget you can store them in our clear cases.

They are clearly a great choice.
