C.A.S.E.D Christmas Card w/ the Pop of Petals Bundle (by StampinUP)

We made this Christmas Card at a recent class.  I originally had a
swap from the Orlando event that I copied (cased) but there was no name
on it to share with you.  I did "tweak" a couple things.

Color Combo Includes:
Cherry Cobbler, Merry Merlot, Garden Green, White & Gold

StampinUP Products Used:
--Snowflake Sentiments Stamp Set (verse)
--Pop of Petals Stamp Set
--Four-Petal Flower Punch
--Gold Faceted Gems


Are you aware that the new Occasions Catalog and Sale-A-Bration
Booklet are coming very soon? (January 3rd to be exact).
I'm very excited to share some display boards with you that I got
to see at the StampinUP event in Orlando.  Take a look-see at
some of the products below to be released with the launch of these books!!
ENJOY!!  Lori Helvick

Christmas Cards with Dashing Deer and Spirited Snowmen (both in the StampinUP Holiday Catalog)

 This display card features the Watercolor Wash Technique.
(Designer unknown).

 This adorable Spirited Snowmen card was a "bling swap"
I recd at the On Stage event.  It was made by Cindy B. of Hawaii.

This card features the Dashing Deer Bundle & was also a "bling swap".
The shiny Gold Foil Sheet made it very difficult to get a good picture (sorry).
It was made by Zeny L. of Hawaii as well.


I appreciate you stopping by today.  Are you done with YOUR
Christmas Cards yet?  Me, not so much......Lori

Tin Tile Embossing Folder & Frosted Floral Designer Series Paper by StampinUP

This is my swap card I took with me to the StampinUP
event in Orlando recently.  I participated in a "Bling Swap"
so my project had a lot of shimmer and shine to it!!

Let me list all of those "bling" items for you now:
1)  The white layer next to the Tranquil Tide is the Shimmery White Card Stock
2)  The pretty paper on the left has a shimmer already built in (Frosted Floral DSP)
3)  The Tin Tile folder on the right was used on a pc. of Silver Foil Sheet
4)  I used the Silver & White Metallic Edged Ribbon (more bling)
5)  The Silver Glimmer Paper was used for the bottom oval layer under the words
6)  "You are amazing" from the All Things Thanks Stamp Set was stamped
on the Shimmery White Card Stock as well.

WHEW!!  That's a whole lot of bling!  LOL

If you have any questions about my swap creation, please let me know.
I appreciate you blogging by......Lori

3-D Gifts from OnStage Featuring Beautiful StampinUP Designer Series Paper










 








These 2 gift items that I recd in Orlando a couple weeks ago were both made by Debbie K. of Sterling, IL.  For the dual candy bar holder above, she used the Share What You Love Specialty Designer Series Paper.

 For this Sticky Note Holder, Debbie used the
Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper.

 You might be able to see the magnet Debbie put in
to hold this 3-D item shut. 

This is a better picture of the magnet at the top.
Of course there is a small magnet under that strip of DSP also.


Thanks very much Debbie for the 2 gifts and also for 
your fabulous inspiration!!

I appreciate you visiting my blog.......Lori

2 Christmas Cards and Announcement about the brand NEW CLING STAMPS!!

This swap card was made by Sheryl D. of Morton, IL
We had a Stray Ducklings mtg. this last Saturday & our Swap Theme
was "Any Occasion".  Sheryl opted to share this gorgeous
Christmas card that was made with the Detailed Baubles Thinlits Dies.

 This was a class project last month and I made this card with
the Stylish Christmas Stamp Set (pg. 101-Annual Catalog).
Color Combo Includes: Real Red, Garden Green, Early Espresso, Vanilla




HAVE YOU HEARD THE NEWS THAT WAS ANNOUNCED AT THE RECENT ON STAGE EVENT?  BEGINNING IN 2019 WITH THE NEW OCCASIONS CATALOG & SALE-A-BRATION BOOKLET, WE WILL HAVE JUST 2 STAMP OPTIONS:  PHOTOPOLYMER AND CLING!! 

YOU HEARD RIGHT, THE WOOD MOUNT STAMPS ARE LEAVING US (FOR ALL YOU WOOD BLOCK FANS OUT THERE).   I APOLOGIZE IN ADVANCE, BUT THEY WERE NOT SELLING WELL AS OF LATE.  : (

THE CLING RED RUBBER STAMPS WILL REPLACE THE CURRENT RED RUBBER ONES THAT NEVER STICK ON THE BLOCKS!!  YES, I'M VERY EXCITED TO BE DONE WITH THE STAMPS THAT FALL OFF RIGHT WHEN YOU ARE GETTING READY TO PLACE THE IMAGE ON YOUR CARD!!  UGH!!  ANYWAY, HERE IS SOME MORE INFO FROM SU......THANK YOU- LORI


****************************************************

One of the biggest announcements that was made at SU! OnStage was that Stampin' Up! has come out with an amazing Cling Stamp.  Many of you have had problems with getting our red rubber clear mount stamps to stick.  Well starting in January there is a new Cling Stamp coming that you are going to love.
Cling stamps were first introduced in Japan beginning with their 2018-2019 annual catalog. The new stamp line has been a smashing success. We are excited to offer cling stamps in all other markets beginning with the 2019 occasions catalog and Sale-A-Bration brochure, accept the background stamps they will be still available in wood in the US.
Here are some important facts about the cling stamps
  • Beginning with the 2019 occasions catalog and Sale-A-Bration brochure, all new stamp sets will be available either in cling (for red rubber stamps) or photopolymer.  
  • Stamps in the 2018-2019 annual catalog will continue to be available in clear-mount, wood-mount, or photopolymer.
  • Red rubber stamp sets (clear-mount or wood-mount) in the annual catalog that will be carrying over will transition to cling with the 2019-2020 annual catalog. Watch for more information about carryover stamp sets in April 2019 with the regularly scheduled communication about catalog transitions, the carryover list, and the retiring products list.
  • In 2019-2020 annual catalog, clear-mount and wood-mount stamps* will no longer be available. The only exception is background stamps in North America only, which will still be available in wood-mount.
    • *Wood-mount stamp set sales have been steadily declining for several years. Stampin’ Up! research and sales teams took this and several other factors into consideration before discontinuing wood-mount stamps. We are confident the transition to cling stamps will be beneficial in many ways for demonstrators, customers, and the company.   ***********************************************************
