Here are the deals this week:
You need that Honeycomb TIEF, my friends!! Shop HERE – and while you’re at it, check out the new items on the Clearance Rack! But hurry, things sell out quickly on the Clearance Rack!
This one is from Collage Tag Class a couple of weeks ago:
This is an “everything but the kitchen sink” kind of tag. In class, everyone had a lot of fun adapting and improvising – which is the name of the game!
One little detail I should point out: I pulled out the stitching on the side of the jute ribbon (yeah, I’ll admit it – it was a pain) in order to unravel the ribbon to create this fringe. It was worth the trouble.

I’m in love with all of our 2014-2015 Host Stamps – this one is I Like You, and it’s a natural to color with Blendabilities!
I chose Rich Razzleberry for the flowers to compliment the retired ribbon from ages ago, and added a bit of Daffodil Delight and Old Olive for accent. It was a very quick, easy tag to put together and I think it makes the package!

It’s the second Thursday and that means another RemARKable Pinworthy tour! We’re celebrating new beginnings this month and I found the PERFECT stamp set: Hello Love!
How is it possible to resist these cheeky little birds?? This set covers so many card occasions. Haven’t noticed it? It’s in the back of the catalog with the Host sets – more on that later.
Those little pearls are colored with Blendabilities, a card maker’s best friend. I used Versamark and my Baked Brown Sugar FFIP to emboss that little birdie.
On the inside is the companion bird – this little chub cracks me up!! I chose to use the Aquapainter to give him a softer, watercolored look.
These soft, Lullaby DSP colors are just as suited to a wedding or bridal shower – I inked the bird on the arrow but left off the ends this time.
The messages fit perfectly into the word bubble, and the Word Bubble framelits eliminate the need for fussy cutting.
The tattle-tale message is on the inside of the card this time!
This set has such versatile images – when I saw the sun I knew I had to make an all yellow – well, an all Hello Honey – card!
Lullaby DSP and the Decorative Dots TIEF add texture to this simple layout.
I used markers again to hand-color the stamped message inside the card. It takes just a minute, and it’s a big WOW punch.
The mix of patterns in the Lullaby DSP is really versatile – although it’s called Lullaby, the name really reflects the colors more than the patterns. And although many of the images in the Hello Love set are small, they work well with creative card layouts.
Doesn’t this bird look like it has a baby bump? SERIOUSLY???
The way the images in Hello Love all work together makes me really happy. Oh Happy Day!
All the cards feature the Hello Love stamp set and the Lullaby Designer Series paper.
I used what you might consider the “Boy” palette from Lullaby – Pistachio Pudding, Hello Honey, Baked Brown Sugar, Coastal Cabana and Whisper White – sounds like dessert!
Hello Love is a Host set, meaning it can only be purchased with Host Dollars earned by (wait for it…) being a Stampin’ Up! Host! Contact your demonstrator – or me if you don’t have a demonstrator – to learn more about the many ways you can host an event.
Whew! Hope you’re in love with Hello Love! Head on over to Audra’s Crafty Yogi to visit the next stop on the Pinworthy tour. Thanks for stopping by!
Wow – when it rains (DEALS) it pours!!
First up:Â a new photopolymer set call Yee Haw!
25 Photopolymer stamps #138107 $25.95 – and Stampin’ Up! has committed to making new photopolymer sets available for 6 months. Yee haw!!
Second up: Weekly deals. Can you say Envelope Liner Framelits??
Finally, we’ve still got a great deal when you buy a new Big Shot – you’ll get a stamp and framelit bundle free! Already have the Big Shot? The framelit bundles are still a good deal, and these aren’t in the catalog. Available through August 31st:
One of the tags we made in the Collage Tags class a week ago was this Blush Blossom confection:
Everyone’s tags turned out a little differently – because everyone stamps a little differently! Collage is such a fun technique, but it does take a LOT of different images to work.
The flower is punched and stacked. I used a birthday greeting on this one, but it would be a beautiful bridal or baby shower tag too. Have fun with it!
I was really disappointed when I saw Festive Flurry on the retiring stamps list last spring:
The GOOD NEWS is that it is still available – for just a couple of weeks – as a Carryover product – through Stampin’ Up! Yes!!
Here’s the 411:
BUT WAIT!! THERE’S MORE!!!
Shop HERE – but don’t delay! You have through August 27, 2014.
Do you know we have sleepers – Christmas sleepers – still available?
There are a number of carryover holiday stamp sets from our previous catalog that are available until the new Holiday catalog debuts on August 28th. Christmas Collectible (131775 clear, 131772 wood) is a classic holiday set. I love how easily you can add color – just stamp twice, trim or punch out, and layer!
That gorgeous “BE MERRY” will be available with the new Holiday Catalog – once Christmas Collectible retires. And can I just confess that I don’t remember the last time I used Rose Red? I think it works really well with Blackberry Bliss…but then I haven’t found a color that doesn’t.
These little ornaments also make quick and easy gift enclosures. I think Lost Lagoon and Crushed Curry offer a refreshing change for a holiday color scheme.
If you don’t want to layer, you can add a little color with your Stampin’ Write markers – it just takes a second!
Stop by the Online Store and enter Christmas Collectible in the search feature under Shop Now. But hurry…you’ve just got a couple of weeks left.
Oh how we love these Tuesday DEALS!
Good for a week – shop HERE!
It’s summer, glorious summer! Here’s my August 2014 Easel Calendar page:
I’m so glad For the Birds carried over into the 2014-2015 Annual Catalog. I love these whimsical little images!! And if you’ve got a sharp eye, you’ll realize I’ve colored this with my Blendabilities. They are my absolute go-to choice for coloring!
Take a look and see what Cheryl and Crystal have done with their calendars this month. I’m sure you’ll enjoy our mini-tour!
Oh, and here are the Weekly Deals good through Monday August 4:
