Everyday Hero | The Maui Stamper

I wish a cape was all it took to solve a problem. I don’t want to dive too deeply into the problems of the world, but it seems to me that we could use a few more good guys and gals wearing capes:

Stamps: Everyday Hero (retiring TONIGHT)
Color Palette: Very Vanilla, Dapper Denim, Tranquil Tide, Lemon Lime Twist
Accessories: Eastern Palace Specialty DSP, Stampin’ Up! Watercolor Pencils, Aquapainter, Enamel shapes, Stampin’ Dimensionals

I use an Aquapainter to blend our Colored Pencils. You can use a regular brush with water, but the Aquapainter is sitting on my craft desk 10 inches from my hand. It’s so easy.

This set has especially good sentiments for adding to the inside of the card. It would be a great Father’s Day card, but this one actually went to a friend who accomplished something pretty special.

Today is the last day to shop the Retired List for 2016-2017 and you know what that means: the new 2017-2018 catalog begins tomorrow! Today is also the last day to get your free Very Vanilla note cards or Thick Very Vanilla card stock with your Eastern Palace bundle!

I just sent in my last order for the old catalog, and my list for the new catalog is ready to roll as soon as the system goes live (Stampin’ Up! promises by noon Mountain time). Are you ready?? Shop HERE.

Biff! Pow!! Socko!!! Wow!!!!

Doesn’t that bring back Saturday morning cartoon memories? So does Everyday Heros, an under-appreciated stamp set from the Occasions 2017 catalog.

Back the in days before DVR, Netflix, DVDs, even videos, kids were programmed to get up early on Saturday – the same kids who were pulled kicking and screaming from their beds Monday through Friday. The reason? Network cartoons. I can still sing (or at least hum) way more cartoon theme songs than I care to admit. And this stamp set revives them all.

Stamps: Everyday Hero
Color Palette: Crushed Curry, Calypso Coral, Night of Navy, Pacific Point, Watermelon Wonder, Very Vanilla, Basic Black
Accessories: Falling in Love DSP, Stampin’ Up! Watercolor Pencils, Blender Pens, Paper Snips, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Rhinestone Jewels

Watercolor pencils are back in stock but we have been warned that the supply is limited. This hot product is So.Much.Fun. If you don’t have them, trust me, you need them. An image like this heroine is detailed and small enough that traditional watercoloring, especially on Very Vanilla cardstock, would be a challenge. The Watercolor pencils plus Blender pens are the HEROS of this card!

And don’t forget your Free Sale-a-bration Gift with Purchase! New items arrive on February 21st.
