2014 Annual Catalog Blog Hop and Weekly Updates from Stampin’ Up! – July 22, 2014

Blog Hop Banner

I have a special post for you today… It’s the Happy Stampers Catalog Blog Hop!  This may be your first stop on the blog hop, or you may have linked to me from Denise Melia’s website.  Either way, I hope you enjoy the projects I have in store for you today.  Yes, that’s right, projects, plural.  I have a trio of coordinated projects for you today featuring the Bloom with Hope hostess stamp set and Stampin’ Blendabilities Markers from Stampin’ Up!

Bloom With Hope Shadowbox (1 of 13)

My first project for you today is a shadow box art piece.  I just loved the largest flower image from Bloom with Hope so much that I decided to recreate it in three dimensions using crepe paper.

Bloom With Hope Shadowbox (12 of 13)The background is stamped with Memento Ink and the Bloom with Hope stamp set.  I stamped the floral pattern around the edges, then masked with a post it note to stamp the leaves.  Next, I layered panels of Basic Black card stock and Typeset DSP, and embellished with some banners in the corner.  I am really pleased with how this project turned out.

Bloom with Hope Typeset (5 of 12)

In fact, I loved the results of the shadow box so much that I decided to create a card version of the project.  I used my Stampin’ Blendabilities Markers to color in one of the flowers from Bloom with Hope in place of the crepe paper flowers.  I used the Melon Mambo set in combination with the blush marker from the Skin tones set to create the lighter shades of pink for the flower.  I also used the Ivory skin tone marker with the Daffodil Delight Blendabilities in the center of the flower.

Bloom with Hope Typeset (6 of 12)

To finish off the inside of the card, I mirrored the vanilla and black floral motif on a panel of Very Vanilla card stock.

Bloom with Hope Typeset (9 of 12)

Of course, a blog hop wouldn’t be complete without some blog candy!  So, I decided to create a notepad for you using the same design elements as my shadow box and card.  If you would like the chance to win this darling gift, please leave me a comment to let me know what you think of my blog hop projects today.  I will announce the winner in my post next Tuesday, July 29th.

Bloom with Hope Typeset (10 of 12)

For this notepad I used the same basic measurement techniques that I have shown you before (click here to read more about how to make your own notepads), but I made a few modifications.  This time, I cut the cover  a little shorter, and I added a Basic Black panel that covered the entire back of the notepad and wrapped around the front from the bottom.  I added an antique brad for decoration and closed the pad with magnetic cards coated with adhesive that I trimmed to fit my project (the magnets were the kind intended for business cards).

Bloom with Hope Typeset (12 of 12)

I hope you have enjoyed my projects today and that you will pin them to Pinterest.  You will find a “pin it” button at the bottom of this post below the supply list.  Also, please subscribe to my blog via email by clicking on the “follow” button if you are a fan of my work, and don’t forget to leave me a comment for your chance to win that great notepad!

My New Crafting Studio… The BIG Reveal! – Stampin’ Up!

Posted on by

Hello Everyone!  I am SO EXCITED about my post today!  It is finally finished! My craft studio remodel is complete and I’m ready for the big reveal!  I have never before had a dedicated space for my crafting, so I can’t even begin to tell you how psyched I am about this space!

The room started out as a guest bedroom that rarely saw any action.  Here it is after the furniture was taken out.

Craft Room Remodel (1 of 17)

As you can see, it wasn’t anything to write home about, but now look at it in all its wonderful crafting glory!

Look at all that storage and beautiful organization!

Look at all that storage and beautiful organization!

I’ve filmed a little virtual tour of the space for you.  I hope you enjoy it!

I would also like to give a big shout out to Brett Haugen at Stamp-n-Storage.  I love, love, love all the fabulous storage units they have designed specifically for all the products from Stampin’ Up!

Stamp-n-Storage Combo Ink Pad Holder houses all of my ink pads, ink refills, and Stampin' Write Markers.

In addition to all the fantastic products I got from Stamp-n-Storage, I would also like to point out a few other details about the room for you.  I often find myself standing as I work on projects.  Typically, this makes my back hurt because I am stooped over my dining room table as I work.  My solution to this problem was to create two different heights for my work surfaces.  One section of my desk is taller for when I need to stand to do a project, and the other section is the perfect height for sitting.

A tall work surface for standing and a lower one for sitting.

As I designed this space, I really wanted to maximize all the storage potential.  Check out how I have even used the space between the two desks to store my larger rotary trimmer!

And here is one last gem for you… I have found the perfect solution to eliminate all those wires cluttering up the space below the desk!

I am in love with my new crafting studio.  So much so, that I find myself lingering in the doorway at night before I go to bed, just to gaze at its glory a little longer!  I can hardly tear myself away, lol!  This room will get so much more use now than it did as a guest room, that’s for sure.

If you like how I have organized my space please pin this post to Pinterest for me.  You will find a “pin it” button at the very bottom of this post.  Also, if you are a fan of my work, why not have my posts delivered directly to your inbox.  Just click on the “follow” button in the sidebar of this post.

And of course, don’t forget to sign up for my one-to-one swap!  I can’t wait to see what you are creating.  Swaps are a fun way to interact and create together.  The details and registration link are below.

“Create” with Sweet Taffy Designer Series Paper – Stampin’ Up!

Posted on by

6

Happy Father’s Day everyone!  I made my Father’s Day card ages ago so today’s project is something a bit different.  If you would like to see the card my dad will be receiving you can click here. (I think that one may be one of my all time favorites).

Meanwhile… I’m so excited to share a home decor project that I created using the Sweet Taffy Designer Series Paper from Stampin’ Up! and some fabulous punches.  As many of you know, I have been in the throws of converting the guest room in my house into a crafting studio.  Today’s project is the first creation made in my new space.  I love, love, love having a dedicated place for all my crafting.

Sweet Taffy Create Sign (9 of 15)

I purchased some wooden letters and a small board made of Balsa wood from my local craft store. The letters were pre-painted black, and I painted the wood board to match.  The board was a bit longer than I needed, but the Balsa wood is so soft that I was able to cut it with a straight edge and craft knife.

Sweet Taffy Create Sign (8 of 15)

Next, I cut panels of Sweet Taffy DSP and traced the letters using a pencil.  In order to avoid having trace lines on the front of my project, I traced on the back of the paper, being sure to flip over my letters so they were backwards as I traced.  After cutting out my letters, I adhered them to the wooden letters using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Then I used E-6000 Quick Hold adhesive to glue the letters to the board.

Sweet Taffy Create Sign (6 of 15)

Once my letters were mounted and the glue had dried, it was time for some embellishments.  I used my Bitty Butterfly, Elegant Butterfly, Petite Petals, and Itty Bitty Accents Punches to decorate my project.  I punched out several shapes using the Sweet Taffy DSP and coordinating card stock in Melon Mambo, Tempting Turquoise, and Daffodil Delight.  Then I sponged around the edges of everything, added some rhinestones, and began decorating my project.

Sweet Taffy Create Sign (3 of 15)

I wanted the butterflies to fly off of my sign to add a bit of whimsy, so I added them to a length of sterling silver wire that I use for jewelry design.  I attached the wire to the back of my sign using a hot glue gun.  Doesn’t it just add the perfect touch!

Here are some close up shots of each letter.  You might notice that I used a cute little leaf with my flowers.  Want to know my secret?  I punched a few flowers from Old Olive card stock using the Petite Petals Punch, then I cut the petals apart, creating five perfect little leaves from each punch.

Blendabilities Update:

Blendabilities Markers are not available for customer purchase yet.  Stampin’ Up! expects to have enough inventory to meet customer demand at the end of June or early July.  I’ll keep you posted on a date.  However, there is a way to get them today if you can’t wait… become a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator!  Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators have access to the “Blendies” before they are available to the public!  You can purchase the Blendabilities markers as part of your starter kit, or on a future demonstrator order.  What’s even better is that you will be able to purchase them with your demonstrator discount!

Have $50 worth of items on your wish list?  Join My Team Today!

Now that you are really excited to get your hands on all those great Stampin’ Up! products, I would like to remind you about the Stampin’ Up! sign up special that is going on right now (through June 30, 2014).  If your wish list includes at least $50 of products, you really should consider joining my team.  There is no risk involved and no future obligation.  Check out the details below!

For $50, you will get $55 worth of products + FREE SHIPPING! (Note:  You can still choose the regular starter kit, $99 for $125 of product and free shipping.)  But that’s not all… there are so many great benefits to being a part of the Stampin’ Up! team.  Here are some of the benefits your will get by joining today:

  • 30% discount on your first order after your starter kit order.
  • 20% discount on all future orders.
  • Opportunities to earn additional volume discounts on your sales/purchases
  • Your starter kit will include a My Paper Pumpkin kit.

  • Fun, fun, fun!

Here are some additional details and answers to questions that you may have about becoming a demonstrator:

What items come in the starter kit?

This is where Stampin’ Up! differs from a lot of other companies. You get to pick whatever you want to go in your starter kit. You can choose from any of the items in the current catalogs.

Why should I join now?

In addition to your fantastic starter kit, you will also earn a 30% discount on your first workshop order AFTER you purchase the starter kit! So, you will be able to purchase more of those wish list items at a significant discount. As a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator you will earn a 20% discount on all future orders too!

You will also get a free Paper Pumpkin kit as a part of your starter kit, and you will receive free Stampin’ Up! convention registration too!

What are some of the other benefits I’ll get from being a demonstrator?

When you join my team, you also join a community of stampers that are supportive, fun, and creative. We participate in creative challenges and group projects that are a lot of fun and will help you build a business or improve your skills as a hobbyist. Either way, this group of talented people is just a lot of fun to be a part of! You will also have access to training and support from Stampin’ Up! and from me to help you take your business as far as you want to go with it.

What is my obligation after I buy the starter kit?

This is the best part… there is no obligation! This decision is totally risk-free! If you sell, or buy, $300 worth of Stampin’ Up! product during the three months after you join, you meet the requirements for another three months. If you decide you don’t want to stay in, then you can simply stop being a demonstrator. It is as easy as that.
