WELL, WHAT’S HAPPENING THIS WEDNESDAY?

Well, this Wednesday I have a lot to share with you!

Many of you may be aware that former Close To My Heart Makers have been able to transition into becoming demonstrators with Stampin’ Up!. With this, many CTMH products were incorporated into the product range managed by SU. At first, these were only available to former Makers, but now these products are more widely available, while stocks last.

There is a current CTMH product offer, while stocks last.

Let me show you the product release catalogues, since May this year. Click on each image to open the catalogue PDF.

I hope that you find some great products for your future crafting projects.

In other news, I wanted to share information about Stampin’ Up!s product release calendar. This may help you with your future planning and saving to order new products. As a Demonstrator, I know that I use this information to plan my purchases.

There are several product releases each year.

There are three CATALOGUES released each year – in January there is the first Mini Catalogue that runs until the end of May; the Annual Catalogue that runs from May to April of the following year; and, the September to end of December Mini Catalogue.

In 2025, a new Annual Scrapbooking Brochure will also be released.

Then, we have ONLINE EXCLUSIVES. These products are released online quite frequently – January, March, May, July, September and November. It is really worthwhile checking out the Online Store regularly.

PHEW – that was quite a lot to process. I will try to keep you up to speed each week so that you don’t miss anything.

TODAY

I have a super, easy card to share with you.

For this card I used the gorgeous little gingerbread man image and integrated it with the HUMBLE HOME BUNDLE and the MINI ALPHABET DIES.

I started with a Crumb Cake cardbase and an Early Espresso layer.

Then I stamped, cut and coloured lots of lttle gingerbread men.

After adding some Adhesive Sheet to a piece of Crumb Cake card, I used the Mini Alphabet Dies to cut all the letters needed for this card.

Then, I stamped and punched out three gingerbread houses.

The card was assembled, as you can see in the image above.

The card insert and envelope both had some little gingerbread men added to them.

This was such a quick and easy card to make.

Tomorrow, I have a 3D project to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.

IT’S MONDAY & THAT MEANS IT IS TIME TO HIGHLIGHT SOME STAMIN’ UP! PRODUCTS

This week I will be featuring the FRAMES & FLOWERS SPECIALTY DESIGNER SERIES PAPER.

My first project is a home decor piece.

On a recent trip to Ikea, I stocked up on shadow box frames.

The frame measures 14 1/2″ x 14 1/2″ and the internal decorated section is 9″ x 9″.

I started with a Pretty Peacock card base and then added a panel of the Lost Lagoon and Pretty Peacock DSP. This was followed by a DSP panel of Petal Pink and Pumpkin Pie. The final colour panel was the slightly mottled Lost Lagoon paper.

Before building up the design in the centre of the frame, I added two more leaf and floral elements to the top and bottom of the white matte layer.

I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the two die-cut corner pieces and then positioned on them on diagonal corners.

Then I added one of the ‘square’ floral frames in the centre of the panel.

Using the Humble Home Stamp Set, I stamped a Pumpkin Pie house with an Early Espresso roof, door and windows. Then I punched this house out and placed it over the floral panel.

I added Adhesive Sheets to a piece of Pretty Peacock card and die cut the letters for the “HOME SWEET HOME” sentiment.

To finish this decor project, I added a punched heart to the house and Clear Wink of Stella to the flowers in the die-cut elements.

Finally, I addedsome of the small Pretty Peacock gems from the Blooming Pearls pack.

I hope that you like my decor project as much as I do.

Tomorrow I have a great card to share with you that was inspired by one of card layouts from page 22 of the 2024 – 2025 Annual Catalogue and the new white core Two Tone Scrapbooking card.

Until then, happy stamping.
