It’s a fun day to celebrate if you are a Star Wars fan like me, but it’s doubly fun this year because today the new 2021-22 Annual Catalog went live!!!

And a couple promotions are beginning today to team up with the release of the new catalog.

Today I’m sharing some simple cards I put together with the new Hand-Penned Memories & More Card Pack. They were super easy and quick to make when I paired the supplies in this pack with the Assorted Memories & More Cards & Envelopes. I made ten 3″ x 4″ cards and still have LOTS of pieces left in this pack.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
These are the first four. I didn’t do anything fancy to the envelopes, because the card layers themselves had such beautiful designs.
I stamped a couple sentiment images from the Hand-Penned Petals Stamp Set onto two blank labels in the pack, lifted all the sentiment layers up on Dimensionals, and added some Genial Gems for a bit of sparkle.
Here are the next two. This time I stamped floral images on the envelopes.
I really didn’t do much the the cards. I stamped the word “Thanks” on the green one. But otherwise I only added a couple Genial Gems to each.
I went a little further with these next two, because I stamped the insides of the cards.
Are you giggling. I know, right? These cards are NOT any more difficult. In fact I did nothing to the card front layers except add some gems.
In fact, that’s the same story with these last two.
So if you are looking for quick cards (and we are all in need of those when we find ourselves in a time crunch), I highly recommend this Hand-Penned Memories & More Card Pack and the coordinating products I’ve mentioned.
The last couple days were a bit busy here. And I forgot to share the latest Stamp-n-Storage news. My apologies. Yesterday kicked off their SPRING SALE! So if you you are in the market for some craft room organizational products, be sure to click here and begin shopping.
15% OFF Storewide PLUS Free Shipping on orders over $100. (No coupon code needed)
Sale starts 6:00am CT, Monday, May 3
Sale ends 11:59pm CT, Thursday, May 6
I’ve got a ton of these storage pieces in my crafting space. In fact my latest products are these Blending Brushes holders. I’m in the process of painting them to match my room décor. As with all my other pieces, I’m starting with a couple layers of spray paint to seal them. Since the weather is nice now, I’m able to do so. After the spray paint dries, I’ll be adding the latex paint to get the black and white to match completely.
Thanks for stopping by to see what I had to share today.

I shared some cards on Monday that were based on a sketch challenge layout. Several in my Stampers With ART community participated in creating cards based on this challenge, and I shared a few of those cards that day along with a couple cards I also created with the Playful Pets Designer Paper using the sketch as inspiration.
Today I am sharing a few more cards I made based on that sketch. And I made them with a couple products from the Flowers for Every Season Suite: the Memories & More Cards and the Memories & More Cards/Envelopes. I also used a sentiment from the Itty Bitty Birthdays Stamp Set stamped on cardstock punched with the Tailored Tag Punch and used these as my June birthday cards.
I love this Suite. The products are beautiful, but the main colors highlight the new 2020-22 In Colors: Just Jade, Bumblebee, Misty Moonlight, Cinnamon Cider, and Magenta Madness.
Here are the details if you wish to recreated these cheerful cards.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.

STAMPIN’ CUT & EMBOSS MACHINES You’ll see the new Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machines on pages 170-172 in the new 20-21 Annual Catalog. They weren’t quite ready with the launch of this publication. There are still some COVID-19-related delays with the mini machine. But we just got word that the larger Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine will become available September 1st!
MY ONLINE PAPER CRAFTERS CLUB IS LOOKING FOR NEW MEMBERS We are looking for more to join our online Paper Crafters club. The commitment is to order at least $25 worth of Stampin’ Up! product in each of 6 consecutive months. In one of those months, you would reap the hosting rewards (free merchandise based on the club orders). And then you’d also be able to get in on monthly product perks that would be sent to you along with your monthly club cards.
Stampin’ Up! has postponed that trip to next May and combined it with the 2021 trip which will also be Maui now (instead of the Southern Caribbean cruise). Maui will then become an extended trip for those of us that earn/earned both the 2020 and the 2021 trips. And our boys are excited because even though they had their hearts set on another cruise ship, they have always dreamed of going to Hawaii. And that is now where we will be taking them. ?
I made this tag in several designs to show off more designer paper patterns…AND because I was having fun with the color variations.
Here are the details if you want to recreate one (or more) of them yourself. After all, I have to believe we will be traveling again someday sooner than later. And what a nice way to gift a bottle of wine (or other beverage) and celebrated someone who will be going on an adventure.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products I used linked to where you can find them in my online store.
PDF Tutorial…Click here to access and download a direction sheet for this wine bottle tag.
Measurements…
Base Cardstock (Basic Black, Misty Moonlight, or Cinnamon Cider): 3″ x 11″ scored parallel to the short end at 3”
Middle Cardstock Piece (Basic Black or Misty Moonlight): 1-1/2″ x 2-3/4″
World of Good Designer Paper: Two pieces that are 3” x 2-3/4”
Gold Metallic-Edge Ribbon: 4-1/2”
World of Good Memories & More card piece: Trimmed strip of words that are about ¼” x 3” long
Directions…
Emboss the middle 1-1/2″ x 2-3/4″ cardstock piece.
Color Gold Metallic-Edge Ribbon with a Blends Marker (Dark Basic Black, Dark Cinnamon Cider, or Light Misty Moonlight).
Attach the colored ribbon and the 3” word strip slightly at a diagonal across the embossed 1-1/2″ x 2-3/4″ cardstock piece trimming off excess from the word strip and wrapping the excess ribbon and securing to the back.
Punch a 2” Circle from a scrap piece of paper or cardstock. Adhere this to the center of the top 3” x 3” section at the top of the base cardstock piece. Then line up the punch around this circle and punch the 2” Circle in top of the base piece.
Adhere the designer paper pieces at the top and bottom of the lower 3” x 8” section of the base piece. Adhere the middle piece.
Then embellish with a few Gold Gilded Gems.
Write a note on the back, and gift a bottle of wine with this tag.
I ran out of the first set of word strips. But I found another card in the Memories & More card pack that worked just as well and made the rest of my tags with those as you can see below.
I miss traveling. Where will your next trip be (or where will you want it to be) when this pandemic ends?

On October 26, 2019 I shared a couple pocket cards that I made with the Magnolia Lane Small Memories & More Card Pack.
I gave written step-by-step instructions, measurements and other details. But I was asked by many to make a tutorial video to help make the assembly of this card more clear.
So here it is! And I made a couple more versions of this card in the process. Be sure to watch the video (you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog), scroll through the close-up photos, check out the products list below the photos, and then let me know if you have any questions.

MY ONLINE PAPER CRAFTERS CLUB IS LOOKING FOR NEW MEMBERS I’m forming a new Paper Crafters club that will begin mid-November (with orders due mid-month for December, January, February, March, April, and May). And we are looking for more to join us. The commitment is to order at least $25 worth of Stampin’ Up! product in each of those 6 months. In one of those months, you would reap the hosting rewards (free merchandise based on the club orders). And then you’d also be able to get in on monthly product perks that would be sent to you along with your monthly club cards.
Some of you may not be aware that Stampin’ Up! has this adorable 3-1/4″ x 4-1/4″ note card pack available: the Magnolia Lane Small Memories & More Card Pack. It can be found on pages 8 & 9 of the Experience Creativity Brochure or by clicking here to see it in the Online Store.
Instead of just making sweet and simple note cards though (which look great!), I had to put my creative twist on them. I came up with this alternate card idea. I kept the base card unfolded and cut to to 5-1/2″ x 4-1/4″, layered it with designer paper from the Magnolia Lane pack, put the envelope on top of that as a pocket, and then decorated around flap of the envelope to make it the focal point layer on the card.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements…
Whisper White Base Card cut into two pieces
4-1/4” x 5-1/2”
4-1/4″ x 1″
Basic Black Cardstock
4-3/8″ x 3-3/8″
4-1/4″ x 3-1/4″
Magnolia Lane Designer Paper (or Magnolia Lane Designer Bulk Paper)
4” x 5-1/4″ with a 2-1/2″ x 3-1/4″ piece cut from the middle
Directions...
Cut the 1″ strip off a base card from the Magnolia Lane Small Memories & More Card Pack.
Cut the middle from the designer paper piece by cutting just 3/4″ inside from the bottom and the top and 1″ from each side. Layer the larger “frame” piece onto the 5-1/2″ x 4-1/4″ Whisper White piece using SNAIL.
The smaller designer paper piece will pair up with the 4-1/4″ x 3-1/4″ Basic Black, and the Memories & More card will pair up with the 4-3/8″ x 3-3/8″ Basic Black. But don’t adhere these yet.
Punch a half circle with the 1-1/2″ Circle Punch into the top of the front “pocket” of the envelope. Then attach the envelope to the base card to cover the hole in the Magnolia Lane Designer Paper “frame” layer.
Add adhesive to the outside closed flap of the envelope, and attach the 4-3/8″ x 3-3/8″ Basic Black to the top of the closed envelope so it’s centered.
Open the flap/black layer, and then attach the 4-1/4″ x 3-1/4″ Basic Black layer so it is aligned within the back side of the 4-3/8″ x 3-3/8″ Basic Black layer.
Flip the small designer paper over and attach centered to the inside 4-1/4″ x 3-1/4″ Basic Black layer.
Punch the 1″ wide Whisper White strip at one end with the Banner Triple Punch. Stamp the sentiment onto the banner piece.
Flip over, add SNAIL Adhesive, then loop on a strand of Mossy Meadow Linen Thread.
Add a bit of Tear & Tape to the square end of the strip. Add a Dimensional to the banner end.
Attach this to the Memories & More card. Then add a few sequins to embellish.
Attach this to the front of the card with SNAIL to finish.
Add a gift card, money or other flat gift.
Here is another version that I made with other Memories & More card in the pack, some Mossy Meadow Cardstock, and another sheet from the Magnolia Lane Designer Paper Pack.
If you love these patterns in the Magnolia Lane pack of designer paper, you can instead invest in the bulk pack (only available to demonstrators until just this week) which includes 20 sheets – 10 of each double-sided pattern. It is now available in the online store.

MY ONLINE PAPER CRAFTERS CLUB IS LOOKING FOR NEW MEMBERS I’m forming a new Paper Crafters club that will begin mid-November (with orders due mid-month for December, January, February, March, April, and May). And we are looking for 4 more to join us. The commitment is to order at least $25 worth of Stampin’ Up! product in each of those 6 months. In one of those months, you would reap the hosting rewards (free merchandise based on the club orders). And then you’d also be able to get in on monthly product perks that would be sent to you along with your monthly club cards.
CHRISTMASTIME IS HERE SUITE DEBUTS NOVEMBER 1 A beautiful suite of products will be available starting November 1, 2019. This exclusive, limited-time collection includes festive, floral designs and includes many coordinating products. Click here for the informational flyer which shares more details.
EVERYTHING IS ROSY ON CLEARANCE The Everything Is Rosy Product Medley is now available for 15% off through the Clearance Rack. Everything Is Rosy was our first product medley and sold May 1–31, 2019. After the sales period ended, we found that we have enough remaining inventory to bring this limited-time product offering back—but this is the last opportunity to purchase it.
BETTER THAN FLAT TUTORIALS I’m so proud to be teamed up with five other super talented Stampin’ Up!® demonstrators so we can create Fun Fold cards & 3-D projects to share exclusively with our customers, paper crafting friends & team members each month! (Our October 2019 projects featuring products from the Holiday Catalog are now available!) CLICK HERE for more information.
