New Catalogs are on Their Way

Sometimes, it takes a village!  Getting new catalogs out is a serious undertaking.  Saturday, we had an assembly line going, making these In Color swatch cards that went inside every catalog I mailed.  We all had specific jobs to do, based on our talents.  My friend and fellow demonstrator, Julia Fair, glued all the strips onto the card base since  she’s very good at making sure things are straight! (Not my strong point at all!)  Her soon-to-be-adopted teen daughter used my Stamparatus (available June 2) to do all the stamping.  She likes the security in knowing that all her images will be exactly the same when she uses the Stampartus.   And I was responsible for gluing the circles together and adding the ribbon.  Like quilting bees of old, we gathered around my craft table, talking and laughing together as we created a lovely stack of cards.

Catalogs are being mailed out today.  All customers who have ordered from me since the beginning of the year will receive a new 2018-2019 Stampin’ Up! Catalog.   Do you need a catalog?  Email me your name and address and I’ll be happy to send you one!  (If you have a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, I ask you to please contact them first as a general courtesy. )

Don’t miss Super Saturday – my BIGGEST BOGO sale of the year.  This year, for added fun, there will be 3 complete card classes to choose from.  All classes are available in person, or as to go kits.  Registration closes Sunday, 5/20.   (Click here for more information)

Base:  Whisper White Notecard, 5″ x 3 1/2″
Layer 1:  Strips of 5 New In Colors:  Lovely Lipstick, Grapefruit Grove, Pineapple Punch, Call me Clover, Blueberry Bushel, 3 1/4″ x 7/8″
Layer 2:  Basic Black, 2″ Circle Punch
Layer 3: Whisper White, 1 3/4″ Circle Punch​

• Stamp sentiment in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink onto Layer 3.  Adhere to Layer 2 and add a Metallic Enamel Heart (These are retiring AND on sale!)
• Adhere all Layer 1 strips.  Begin with the two outer strips first, and work your way in to the center.  We used Liquid Glue, which gives you a little “wiggle room” in case something gets off-center. 
• Wrap Whisper White Organza Ribbon around and tie a knot.  (This is retiring!)
• Add circle with dimensionals.
