Tuesday with the help of my mom and husband, we got 100 of these new 2019-20 Annual Catalogs out the door for USPS to pick up yesterday. And then my mom helped me to get another 91 out the door for USPS to pick up today. PHEW! Normally I have Stampin’ Up! send them directly to my customers. But this time I wanted to do it myself so I could get them to my stampers right away, enclose a small gift, and ensure delivery. (Do you love how my husband’s shoes stick out on the lower left of the second photo? It the right angle, it looked like he got buried! hahaha)
If you live local to me, near Andover, Minnesota, let me know if you want me to set aside a catalog for you to pick up. (A big thank you to many of my local customers who are picking up their catalogs from my house in the coming days.) If you live further away, I’d be happy to mail you a free catalog. I just ask that you cover the shipping costs if you are not currently one of my customers. Click here, then scroll down to learn more.
I never shared with you the gifts I gave to my team members who attended Stampin’ Up!’s April 2019 OnStage event!
Once again I went to Tamara Davis from TaDa! Moments to see what wonderful new products she had. And I fell in love with her Take Your Pick Tool holders. Personally I struggled with keeping my tool parts in a place where I could always find them, so this was perfect! She finished my personalized gifts quickly and sent them to me so I had plenty of time to add belly bands and gift tags to each one.
I love how they came in and were made for Stampin’ Up!’s Acetate Card Boxes, too.
For the belly band of this one I layered these pieces together: a strip of 1″ x 12″ How Sweet It Is Designer Paper, a strip of 1-1/4″ x 12″ Bermuda Bay Cardstock, and a strip of 1-1/2″ x 12″ Coastal Cabana. (Some of my gifts also used Melon Mambo Cardstock.) Then as I wrapped this layered strip around the layers gave way a bit and shifted, so I ended up with a definite seam.
I then tied a 3″ piece of Coastal Cabana/Granny Apple Green Reversible Ribbon in a knot around a pin from the Sweet Pins & Tags kit and attached it to the seam with a Glue Dot with the pin opening forward so I could add the tag.
I stamped, punched & die-cut, and layered my tag pieces.
I even printed out a note that I folded up and sandwiched inside.
And how fun they were to give out!
Just recently I decided to recycle the box and switch out the tag to create a NEW gift. I filled the box with chocolates. Yum!
Then I realized I wanted to decorate the box a bit more. So I took the chocolates out, lined the box with a 10-1/4″ x 5-3/4″ piece of designer paper (scored at 1/2″, 4-15/16″, 5-7/16″ and 9-7/8″), and put the chocolates back in.
I slipped the belly band back on and pinned on a new simple tag.
For those of you keeping my father-in-law in your prayers, there is no further news yet. But our family will still appreciate any prayers you can send his way.

ANNUAL CATALOG NEWS Due to recent supplier issues (and other factors), Stampin’ Up! will no longer be carrying the current die-cutting machine and trimmer: The Big Shot and Stampin’ Trimmer are retiring. These changes are giving Stampin’ Up! the opportunity to research and explore replacement options. But there will be a gap when we do not have a trimmer or die-cutting machine available. You will not see these items in the upcoming 2019-20 Annual Catalog that debuts June 4, 2019. Click here for more information.
This week I am part of a Facebook Live Hop called Live & Inkin’. We are featuring retiring products…giving them some “last minute” love before they are gone for good.
My Live was yesterday. I showed how to make this fun masculine celebratory jean pockets card using the Pocket Full of Sunshine Stamp Set, Night of Navy Cardstock, Cajun Craze Cardstock and Ink, sandpaper, some Metallic Brads, and sponged on Whisper White Craft Ink.
Isn’t it fun!? I love how the pockets are on the INSIDE of the card so that both the left and the right “cheek” of the pants can be viewed at once. This would be an awesome card for a graduation or a birthday. Most of the cards I’ve seen made with this stamp set are either cutesy or feminine. So I wanted to share how versatile this set really is. PLUS if you get this retiring stamp AND the coordinating dies, there is a new “pocket” stamp set that will be available on June 4th in the new catalog that will also work with the dies. And then holy moly!…Just think of all the fun cards and projects you’ll be able to make.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products I used linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements…
Night of Navy Cardstock
8” x 5-1/4” scored at 4” and folded in half
3-1/4” x 4-3/4”
Scrap for punching our “belt loop” pieces
Basic Black Cardstock
4-1/4” x 5-1/2”
Cajun Craze Cardstock
Scraps for stamping and cutting sentiment pieces
Copper Foil Sheets
3-3/8” x 4-7/8”
I hope you enjoyed what I had to share today! Remember this stamp set (and the Brushstroke Alphabet set) is guaranteed through May 24th and then only available through June 3, 2019 or while supplies last. The dies are carrying over to coordinate with a new pocket set. The stamp sets are different so you will want to have them both!

Each month I send out a card that I designed with the recent Paper Pumpkin kit to a few of my subscribers. And today I am excited to share that special card with you. This simple, elegant, almost black-and-white card is designed with elements of the April 2019 Sentimental Rose kit and a few extra tools and supplies.
Measurements of kit supplies…
Script print card base
2-1/2″ x 7″
Envelope or another card base
Scrap of white for stamping and cutting out leaves image
Measurements of extra supplies…
Basic Gray Cardstock
5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ scored at 4-1/4″ and folded in half
Mint Macaron Cardstock
Scrap for punching out leaves
Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon
about 17″
Products I used… See below for a list of products I used linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Here’s a photo of the cards the kit is intended to make.
I loved the card base with the script design from this kit, so I cut it in half to get two pieces that measured 2-1/2″ x 7″ with a score line down the middle separating the script design from the white unprinted half. (I only needed one 2-1/2″ x 7″ piece for each card. So from 3 script card bases I was able to make 6 of these cards.)
After doing a test of my gray inks – Gray Granite (the ink color that came in the kit), Smoky Slate, and Basic Gray, I decided that Basic Gray matched the script print the best. (Gray Granite had a tan hue and Smoky Slate was too light.)
Here are directions if you wish to recreate this card with your kit contents (or revise it to work with other supplies you may have).
Directions…
Position the 2-1/2″ x 7″ piece with the script pattern to the right. Stamp the rose image from the kit’s stamp set using Basic Gray ink in the bottom right corner of this piece. And add a large Rhinestone to the center of the flower.
Then trim 2-3/4″ off the left end (white end) of this piece, and adhere the remaining 4-1/4″ x 2-1/2″ piece across the front of your Basic Gray card base about 1″ from the top and 2″ from the bottom.
Stamp sentiment using Basic Gray ink on the mint/white label piece. Stamp leaves using Mint Macaron ink on scrap of white from kit. (You could use Whisper White Cardstock, but I find that that white is a slightly warmer tone than the white found in the consumables of the Paper Pumpkin kits.) Then cut them out leaving a slight white edge all the way around.
Add Dimensionals behind sentiment piece, attach two sets of leaves so they come out the lower left corner, and add to the card as shown.
Wrap the ribbon from the inside to the front and secure in a knot. Trim the ends.
Then add the leftover 2-3/4″ x 2-1/2″ white piece to the inside.
I hope you enjoyed what I shared today!

Berry Burst is a color that will retire soon since it’s part of the 2017-19 In Color collection. The last time my Stampers With ART group did make-n-takes we focused on projects showing these retiring colors. I shared three of the four projects on my blog already…
Today I’m sharing this beautiful bridge fold card to show off the last of the five colors, Berry Burst.
Here are the details if you’d like to recreate this card.
Measurements:
Berry Burst Cardstock
8” x 4″ scored at 1” and 2-1/2″ from each end
4″ x 2″
Whisper White Cardstock
Two pieces that are 2-3/4″ x 3-3/4″
Scraps for die-cutting the flowers
Petal Promenade Designer Paper
Two pieces that are 3/4″ x 3-3/4″ (I used the purple floral design)
Two pieces that are 1-1/4″ x 3-3/4″ (I used the white slate design)
Berry Burst Metallic-Edge Ribbon
2″
Silver Metallic-Edge Ribbon
2″
Products I used: See below for a list of products I used linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Directions:
Stamp the “Happy Birthday” sentiment about an inch from the top of the vertical 2-3/4″ x 3-3/4″ Whisper White Cardstock piece.
Trim the ends of the ribbons at an angle, then add them to this 2-3/4″ x 3-3/4″ Whisper White piece using SNAIL. Wrap the other ends over to the back rather than trimming them off.
Stamp the “Hope your day…” sentiment on the other vertical 2-3/4″ x 3-3/4″ Whisper White Cardstock piece.
Fold Berry Burst card base as shown to get the shape of the card set up.
Adhere the Whisper White pieces and the 1-1/4″ x 3-3/4″ Petal Promenade strips.
Die-cut the 2″ x 4″ Berry Burst piece with the long detailed floral die. Add a strip of Tear & Tape Adhesive along the outer edges of the backside of this piece.
Flatten the card base so one side of the card is extended open and the other is collapsed into a z-fold. Attach the die-cut piece flush ith the bottom of the card so the Tear & Tape is holding onto each of the 1″ wide outer sections of the card base. This is hard to explain well. So if it doesn’t make sense, this video may help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIWNsmMNkUM
Now adhere the 3/4″ x 3-3/4″ Petal Promenade strips.
Attach the two die-cut Whisper White flowers using Glue Dots. And finish them with a rhinestone centers.
Bridge fold cards flatten to fit in our medium envelopes. So they can be mailed quite easily.
And what a wonderful surprise for the person on the receiving end!

OCCASIONS CATALOG NEWS
There are some products that are selling out in the 2019 Occasions Catalog already. These products were going to retire with this seasonal catalog anyway, but due to complications with Stampin’ Up!’s die supplier & not being able to replenish the inventory, the following items are no longer available:
Doily Builder Thinlits Dies (item 148553)
Wonderful Floral Framelits Dies (item 148529)
Rose Trellis Thinlits Dies (item 148549)
Detailed Birthday Edgelits Dies (item 148548)
ANNUAL CATALOG NEWS
Due to recent supplier issues (and other factors), Stampin’ Up! will no longer be carrying the current die-cutting machine and trimmer: The Big Shot and Stampin’ Trimmer will be retiring. These changes are giving Stampin’ Up! the opportunity to research and explore replacement options. And there will be a gap when we do not have a trimmer or die-cutting machine available. When the retiring list goes live on April 15, the order limit for the Stampin’ Trimmer Cutting Blade Refills will increase from three to six (and the limit will remain at six until they’re no longer available). And from now until September, SU will receive intermittent shipments from the supplier.
The dies and folders that will be offered will not be from our current supplier. So there will be small changes: the dies and folders will be manufactured differently; this means the way you use the new style of dies and folders will be a little different than how you used the old style. Both the new-style and old-style dies and embossing folders can work with any die-cutting & embossing machine (in some cases, adaptations like shims may be required because the gap between rollers on machines may vary slightly between manufacturers). Click here for more details regarding the changes to our die-cutting machine, dies and embossing folders.
I realize for many of you that this news may be a little jaw-dropping at first. I had a similar reaction. But after giving it a little more thought, reminding myself that change is an opportunity for new and better, and knowing what a strong company Stampin’ Up! has been for 30 years, I now anticipate some marvelous changes to come! And I’m excited.
It’s amazing that Paper Pumpkin has been around that many years now. Oh my, how the kits have improved with age. And so have my videos! LOL Here is the first set of alternates I made. And here is the first video. (Don’t laugh.) I’m still making alternates for each and every kit AND videos for pretty much all of them as well. Click here to see my archive of all my past Paper Pumpkin posts on my blog.
Introducing this month’s March 2019 Paper Pumpkin kit: Poppin’ Birthday! It includes supplies to put together 8 festive pop-out birthday cards: 4 of 2 styles.
I like to think outside the box…see what else I can come up with, and create alternate cards and other project ideas to inspire others. I added the extra supplies in the product list below to the above kit supplies to create my alternate projects that I’m sharing with you today:
two fun cake/candle cards made from 1/2 of a kit card
two counting books (a fun gift idea)
two tulle shaker anniversary cards
and two yummy donut birthday cards
Watch my video first to get to get measurements, directions, and tips (you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog). Then scroll down to see close-up photos, access the links that I mentioned at the beginning of my video, and see a list of extra supplies (linked to my online store) that I used to make my creations.
Here are photos of the cards the kit instructs how to make.
Aren’t they fun!?
And here are close-up photos of the alternate projects I made and shared in my video. (Remember to watch the video first to get measurements, tips and directions.)
TWO FUN CAKE/CANDLE CARDS
I used just 1/2 of a kit card and some extra cardstock to make these two. And as you can see, you can add many or just a few candles to the cake to personalize it for the person you are giving it to.
COUNTING BOOKS
These make a great gift for a young kiddo. You can create yours with personalized photos of your own.
TULLE SHAKER CARDS
These would be great for birthday or anniversary cards. They are MUCH flatter than the typical shaker card. And there is no static when putting them together!
DONUT CARDS
Yep! The sprinkles looked like donut toppings to me. So I had to make donut cards. Hahaha!
I hope you enjoyed what I shared today!

I needed to make a bunch of Springtime birthday cards and realized I had a TON of this beautiful Garden Impressions 6×6 designer paper on hand. So I started cutting into it and came up with 3 designs that I’m excited to share with you today.
The designer paper includes colors from the 2018-20 In Color Collection, so I was able to match the ribbons on all three layouts.

Base Color Cardstock:
4-1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5-1/2″ and folded in half for the card base

Sparkle Glimmer Paper:
5-1/2″ x 1/2″
2-3/4″ x 1/2″
Ribbon:
7″
Directions…
Adhere designer paper to glimmer paper using Glue Dots so that the glimmer paper shows just slightly. Then use SNAIL Adhesive to add the larger designer paper/glimmer paper combo to the front of the card and the smaller designer paper/glimmer paper combo to the 2-3/4″ x 4-1/4″ Whisper White Cardstock.
Attach the Whisper White layer to the inside of the card.
Stamp the sentiments: on the Whisper White layer inside and on the tag.
Insert the brad and add the tag to the front of the card using Dimensionals.
Tie a small bow and add it to the front of the card over the tag using a Glue Dot.
Then add sequins. (The Gingham Gala Sequins are adhesive-backed, but the Iridescent are not. So those would need to be added with Fine Tip Glue.)
I used the larger tag for this blue card, so I made the designer paper on the front a little narrower. I think this one is my favorite.
This was the first card I made, and then I got smart and used the adhesive backed sequins for most of my other cards. But I have to say that the colors in the Iridescent Sequins coordinate better with the paper.
I glued a sequin onto the brad, too. Hahaha!
These tags are so fun, but they come with pins that I didn’t use. So now I need to come up with a plan for those. 😉
