Lovely new ribbon

Don’t tell, but I think I get more excited about new ribbon than new stamps.

Maui Stamper 2013-2014 In Color RibbonThis is our new In Color 2013-2015 STRETCHY ribbon.  And it can do so many things!  Take a look at the RemARKable blog tour post from this past weekend and you’ll see how nicely it makes a frame around an oval.

It would be perfect for hair ties or headbands too, if you were the sort of person who wore them.  (I only do when I am DESPERATELY in need of a haircut.)

There were five new colors introduced into existing ribbon collections, too:

Stampin' Up! Maui Stamper 2013-2014 New RibbonThat’s Bermuda Bay 1/8″ taffeta (be still my heart), Soft Sky Seam Binding, Pear Pizazz 3/8″ taffeta, Blushing Bride 1/4″ Stitched Grosgrain and Melon Mambo 1/8″ taffeta.  What gorgeous new additions to our ribbon stable!!

Would you like to get your hands on some ribbon without having to invest in all those full-sized spools?  I’m offering ribbon shares so you can play at a savings!  Each share is one yard of either the 5 In Color ribbons or the 5 new-to-the-collection ribbons.  It’s $7 for the In Color share and only $4 for the assortment, so you certainly won’t break the bank.  I’m happy to ship and will charge you actual cost only for postage.

The gorgeous Chevron Ribbons are also on their way and will be $15 for a share of 12 beautiful new colors.  Let me know if you’d like a share!

The Epic Day This ‘n That Designer Series paper has my name written all over it.  I’m not going to tell you how many This ‘n That bundles I bought, but I will tell you that today is the LAST day to get them at 15% off.  Epic colors, epic designs – you can’t go wrong with this paper.

Hostess club made little Bag-in-a-Box packages:

Maui Stamper This N That Bag in a BoxWe added flags, and the hot air balloon from You’re Amazing.  We used the new little round scallop punch and an image from A Round Array, also available as a bundle (#133899, $23.95) through May 30.  You could add all sorts of goodies to customize this idea – and isn’t that the point?

This ‘n That Epic Day Bundle includes the Epic Day dsp, Epic Day This ‘n That journal, This ‘n That Epic Day Washi Tape (OH BE STILL MY HEART), Remember This ‘n That Rotary stamp (you NEED this) and This ‘n That Epic Day This n That Designer Stickers.  (These are not your grandmother’s stickers, either.)  All five elements are available separately at my Online Store, but hurry over today and order them together as a bundle (#133350) for $32.08 – you’ll be saving 15%.  You’ll be glad you did.

RETIRING STAMPS AND ACCESSORIES! The list is OUT!

Maui Stamper Retired Stamp on the Golf Course

It’s time to check out that list of Retiring Stamps!  Which of your favorites are retiring, and which ones will be available for another year?  This list always includes a few that we groan over, but the truth is that retiring stamps make way for NEW STAMPS – and we ALL love new stamps!  Think about it if you like – you have until Monday, June 3 to order these retiring stamps.

However, Stampin’ Up! also revealed the RETIRING ACCESSORIES list today – and that list requires immediate action.  Accessories are While Supplies Last and that can mean that some accessories sell out within days or even hours of being announced.  If you see something you love on the list, or if you have a project that is not quite done that uses something on the retired list, better get it now!

To encourage you to place that order today, I’ve set up a special order.  When you shop in Anne’s Online Store and enter Hostess Code # ZBMZ722P, you will guarantee two things:

1) Your order will ship directly to YOU, and right away – no waiting for me to submit it.
2) YOU will be entered into a drawing to receive special Stampin’ Up! products – I’ll be sharing the Hostess Benefits for this order!

Here are the PDF’s –

Hot Off the Press: STAMPIN’ UP! 2013 COLOR REFRESH!

Yes, my friends, it’s true:  with the new 2013-2014 catalog, Stampin’ Up! will refresh the four color families!  Never fear, there are familiar names here, and Stampin’ Up! will continue to provide outstanding coordination between ink, paper and embellishment.

But you want details, I know!

Stampin' Up! 2013 Color Refresh

With one exception, the “new” colors are familiar – they are In Colors from years past.  The exception is what promises to be a delicious new shade of grey called Smoky Slate!

I’m personally thrilled with these changes – the colors that are retiring are colors I have seldom used – with the notable exception of Baja Breeze.  The In Colors from years past that are becoming permanent include some of my absolute favorites – Pear Pizazz, Soft Sky, and the recent 2011-2013 colors of Calypso Coral, Wisteria Wonder (yay!), Pool Party (double yay!)  and Island Indigo.

Some remaining colors have changed color families – see if you can spot them!

Don’t delay in stocking up on your discontinuing favorites!  There’s an added bonus – Stampin’ Up! is offering FREE SHIPPING April 6 through 8!!  Free shipping on stamps, paper, ink, embellishments, This ‘n That, My Digital Studio orders – there’s free shipping on it all!!

It’s all in the packaging…

Don’t you love getting a gift?  And if you’re anything like me, don’t you love getting a gift – in a cute package??

But cute packages take time, and planning, and lots of other things that are in short supply this time of year.  Fortunately, Stampin’ Up! has a solution:

These two collections are perfect to have on hand for that Sure-to-Delight package!  Order these at the Online Store.  I’m stocking up myself because 2012 has been the Year of the Airplane in the Maui Stamper Household, and there just isn’t enough time to do all the things on my list!

Our latest flight was to beautiful Sedona, where we spent time with my family.  My parents have invited us to join them at their timeshare for years, but this was the first time it was practical.  It was a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend that went by too quickly, but I’m so glad we went.  In addition to lots of great time with the family – and great food too – we had beautiful weather that was perfect for exploring.  The sky was amazingly clear and blue, and the sun was brilliant.  We watched a lot of planes fly high overhead, leaving beautiful trails in the sky:

The moon wasn’t quite full, but it was visible in the late afternoon sky; the red rocks, the scrubby vegetation, and that brilliant blue sky created such a stunning contrast:

We stopped for a late afternoon visit at the Chapel of the Holy Cross, pressed tightly into the cliffs:

The chapel interior is extremely simple but has a powerful grace:

And didn’t I do a fabulous job of color-coordination?  We hiked the Courthouse Butte Loop the afternoon before we flew home:

I’ll be back to Stampin’ next time.

I had a great time at the craft fair – thanks to everyone who came, said hello, and especially to those of you who shopped!  Believe me – if I can make it, you can make it – and I can show you how!

Here’s one of my projects:

I was inspired by Pinterest (the Black Hole of the Internet, I am constantly getting lost here).  I used My Digital Studio to design the message, then printed the sheet and cut each one out with framelits and embellished!  The whisks are filled with individually packaged cookies and slipped into our Gusseted bags (found iin the Holiday Catalog) – they’re a perfect fit!  I did a set in reds and greens, too:

Fun and oh-so-easy!

And who wouldn’t smile about a beautiful stamp set for only $5??

Stampin Up Reason to Smile Maui Stamper

 

During the month of July you can own A Reason to Smile for only $5 (wood or clear) with a Stampin’ Up! purchase of $50.  This exclusive stamp set is ONLY available this month so don’t delay your order!

Would you like to see what I did with this set?

Maui Stamper Reason to Smile

  • Reason to Smile and Loving Thoughts stamp sets
  • Very Vanilla, Regal Rose and Soft Suede card stock
  • First Edition Designer Series Paper
  • Soft Suede and Regal Rose FFIP (Firm Foam Ink Pads)
  • Aquapainter and Regal Rose Classic Ink Refill
  • Piercing Tool and Template
  • Rhinestone Jewels
  • Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint
  • Sponge Daubers
  • Soft Suede Polka Dot Ribbon (retired)

These daisies are dancing-in-the-breeze kind of daisies – they have a lot of movement.  This set is a Two-Step set and comes with an image to fill the flower, but I wanted more control over the color contrast in the petals so I used the aquapainter.

Hmmm.  I think it needs a splash or two from the Color Spritzer.

Remember the details:

  • Reason to Smile wood (#131274) 
  • Reason to Smile clear mount (#131275)
  • Either one only $5 when you order any $50 in Stampin’ Up! products
