Today’s the Day!

May 31, 2013

If you have anxiously been waiting for the arrival of the new annual 2013-2014 Stampin’ Up! catalog, then your wait is over; it’s here!

I’m so thrilled to share this with you; sharing ideas and inspiration is what my whole gig with Stampin’ Up! is all about.

So here are the catalogs for your viewing pleasure:

Just the covers alone are beautiful and inspire me to go create something fun. But click on either the English or Spanish version, and you’ll have a whole world of inspiration at your fingertips.

On-line ordering will be unavailable until about noon to allow for time to transition over to the new catalog. But today, you can order from all 3 catalogs; the new 2013-14 Annual Catalog as well as the retiring 2012-13 Annual Catalog and the 2013 Spring Catalog. Check out the links to the retiring catalogs on the right.

I’m going to keep this post short so you can browse the new catalogs. You can order by clicking here but you’ll have to wait until noon. Happy Shopping!

My Top 10 Fav’s from the new Catalog

May 28, 2013

As you should know by now, the new 2013-2014 Annual Catalog is set to make it’s debut Friday, May 31st. If you are a customer of mine (meaning you have purchased from me in the last year), and need a copy of the new catalog, please contact me. The catalog will be available to view here on my blog on May 31st.

I have been reading my catalog, making my wish list, re-reading my catalog, editing (ie: expanding) my wish list, re-reading my catalog, updating my wish list, and so on. It’s a vicious cycle. But one I’m glad to do. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the layout of the new catalog. Besides a great product line-up; it’s filled with great photography and LOTS of ideas and inspiration – including non-card and non-scrapbook stuff (IE: Think party and home decor ideas).

The layout of the new catalog is much more user friendly; things are grouped and organized in a way that makes it so much easier to navigate. You’ll love the new catalog too, I promise.

While I can’t show you pictures (yet) of the new items, I can give you a list of my top 10 favorites. So here goes: (drum roll, please!).

1:) Bundles! Any time we have items that coordinate together so beautifully together, it just spells good times for me. But when we bundle those items together, it spells stamping goodness and $ Savings. Sweet! My favorite bundle is Chalk Talk – a 6 piece stamp set with a coordinating framelits die set.

2.) Ronald McDonald stamp set – Every year a stamp set is designed for the Ronald McDonald House Charities and money is raised to support this worthwhile charity. This year the stamp set, Tag It, coordinates with the same framelits dies as the Chalk Talk set. Super Sweet!

3.) Wetlands – I don’t what it is about this stamp set; maybe its the masculine appeal, maybe it’s the nature-inspired appeal, maybe its the simple, every day sentiments crafted from beautiful, timeless font styles, or the combination of all of the above, but this stamp set is on the top of my wish list. Enough said!

4. & 5.) Off the Grid and Gorgeous Grunge – These stamp sets make me want to break loose from my ‘color within the lines’ mentality and go wild and distressing, in a good kind of way!

6.) Mosaic Madness – coordinating stamp set, a punch, Designer Series Paper, and an embossing folder! Wow – this is the motherload of coordination! I’m mad-ly in love with Mosaic Madness! (And so on trend, I’ve been seeing this Mosaic pattern everywhere – from curtains, to pillows, to stationery, to clothing – you name it, the Mosaic pattern is on it).

7.) Six-sided Sampler: Another stamp set/punch coordinating duo in another trendy pattern; hexagons. Need I say more?

8.) This & That – A product suite centered around a journal; the possibilities are unlimited: A mini scrapbook, a life chronicle journal, a kid’s sports career journal, a prayer journal, a get-my-life organized journal – you get the idea. All with coordinating DSP, washi tape (to stick it all together) stickers, clips and a rotary stamp.

9:) New Color Refresh and Core’dinations Paper: I couldn’t NOT mention the new color palette when noting that we now will have Core’dinations Paper in EVERY COLOR – including our In-Colors. (Speaking of In-Colors, did I mention that this years colors are just gorgeous? Some years, I really need to ‘warm up’ to the new colors, but not this year. It was love at first sight.)

10.) Candy Dots – remember the old-fashioned candy dots that come on a cash register receipt type paper strip? The colorful candy dots lined up so perfectly? Well, those delicious dots are now adhesive backed and make your embellishing dreams come true. Throw in Candy Dots Brad Bases and transform these stick-on cuties into brads. Whets my appetite!

11.) Chevron Ribbon – another on trend pattern, in ribbon form. Plan on buying a roll in every color. Yup, just plan on it.

12.) Coaster Board – thinner than Chip Board, thicker than Card Stock. This medium weight sheet stock will be keeping my Big Shot busy this summer.

So there, you have it. My top twelve favs. Oh, was my list supposed to be only ten? Oh well, I threw in a bonus. Just because I like you. And because I like so many new products, I couldn’t help myself. There are more things too, that are on my must-have list, but I didn’t want to turn my top 10 list into a top 20.

So tell me, how does your top 10 (or 12) list compare to mine? Are there several things that reached the top of your list and mine? Did something catch your eye the first trip around the new catty that you just have to have? Do leave me a comment and let me know what you favorites are from the new catty.

Then get ready. On-line ordering begins approximately noon on Friday, May 31st. The new catalog will go live right here on my blog just after midnight so you can stay up all night perusing and making, and editing, your wish list. Just click on the catalogs to the right. Then click on the Shop Online Now Button on the right. And you’re in. Shop to your hearts content. Order $150 or more in product and earn Stampin’ Rewards dollars.

And remember, this year, there is an overlap period. On Friday, May 31st you can order from the new 2013-2014 catalog, AND the retiring 2012-2013 catalog AND the retiring 2013 Spring Catalog. This doesn’t usually happen so take advantage of this occasion. Order your retiring products and new products together on one order.

Happy Stampin, and happy catalog reading.

See you on Friday!

Nancy

Farewell, Best Dad Ever

April 27, 2013

Today’s post is a tribute to another retiring stamp set, Best Dad Ever.

I made this for my father-in-law for Father’s Day last year; little did I know that it would be his last Father’s Day with us. I loved the traditional tie with the tie-tack look. It so personified my FIL-a preacher who wore a suit & tie with a tie tack every Sunday. I chose to use Basic Gray and Not Quite Navy for my color combo. Not Quite Navy is another color that will be retiring soon. I really love that color but Island Indigo is a color that we are getting to keep so I’m ok with that trade off. I still have a stash of this color so I’m ok!

Best Dad Ever - Clear-Mount Stamp Set - by Stampin' Up! This stamp set features 5 neckties is various patterns in a row; it’s so easy to isolate just one, or two, or three ties using our Stampin’ Write markers. Four sentiments allows you to use this stamp set to create a masculine card any time of year.

I always think a good, masculine stamp set is a great investment and this certainly is top of my list of masculine stamp sets. Find this and all other Retired Stamps here. Retiring Accessories. can be found here. You can order retiring stamps up until June 3rd. Retiring Accessories are only available while supplies last so don’t hesitate if you want something. Stock up on your favorite colors, papers, & ribbons now. Head over to my on-line store and start shopping now.

Thanks for stopping by My Stampin’ Space; I love your company and hope that you find inspiration while you’re here. If you enjoy my blog, please sign up for my newsletter and/or subscribe to my Feedburner feed; you’ll see those links on the right. Tell your friends to come over & hang out at My Stampin’ Space too – the more the merrier. See you tomorrow for another farewell tribute.

Farewell Button, Button!

April 26, 2013

Well, with the Retired Stamps posted, I thought it was only appropriate to post some photos of my favorite projects using soon-to-be retired stamps.

Button, Button (#122026-wood; # 122040 clear). This stamp set was actually one that was never on my wish list; I won the stamp set through meeting a sales goal. Once I got it, I used it so much – far more than I ever thought I would. It is such a simple, versatile set that could be used for any occasion. I am going to miss this set in the new catalog.

With 17 images in one stamp set, it’s easy to find just the perfect shaped & sized button to, well, button up your project!

I chose to make this card using Pretty in Pink, Certainly Celery and Bashful Blue ink- all colors that are now retiring due to the Color Refresh announced 2 weeks ago. A few designer buttons, alongside a few stamped images, punched and propped up on dimensionals are all this card needs. Any sentiment can be used to make this card an all-occasion card.

If you like these stamps too, but they’ve never made it from your wish list to your order list, now is your last chance to get them. Stampin’ Up! will continue to manufacture stamp sets to fill orders thru June 3rd, but after that, they will be gone for good. Retiring Accessories. will only be on a ‘while supplies last’ basis so if there is an item(s) on the retired accessory list, get it now. Many items in the retiring colors are already sold out.

Head over to my store and start shopping now. Don’t be disappointed.

Tell your friends to like me on facebook too. I’m hoping to reach 100 fans and need your help. Thanks, see you tomorrow with another farewell tribute!

The most exciting time of the year is almost here!!!

April 18, 2013

When Stampin’ Up! rolls out their annual catalog, there are always so many new and exciting products that it is one of the most highly anticipated times of the year. This happens June 1st of every year. But this year, we get our catalogs a day early! That’s right. The new annual 2013-2014 catalog will be released May 31st.

Stampin’ Up! has already teased us with a taste of what’s to come by showing us the Color Refresh, and their decision to bring back a few favorite colors from past years, and the introduction of a soft gray shade: Smoky Slate.

As always, in order to make room for the new, some older items will be retired. Stampin’ UP! will release the Retired Item List on April 24th so you will have time to get those items that you want before they are gone for good. The Retired Item Promotion will run thru June 3rd, but items on a retired list are while supplies last and there are no guarantees. (Since the Color Refresh announcement, several colors of retiring card stock have already sold out!)

As a demonstrator, I get to order select new product beginning on April 24th. (That’s my favorite perk!) I already have my list started; I’ve seen, and fell in love with the new In-Colors that will be introduced with this catalog as well as a few sneak peeks of stamps, tools, paper, and let’s such say “EXCITED” doesn’t quite cover it! Card stock, ink pads, makers, and ribbon in the 5 new in colors and Smoky Slate will be first on my order. Getting a discount on my orders helps me stretch my stampin’ dollars farther; getting more items for less money (my 2nd favorite perk of being a demonstrator!).

Would you like to receive the perks of being a demonstrator? Get new product sneak peeks, a discount on your order, chance to earn free products, receive exclusive paper crafting training across several mediums, meet new friends, and be connected to a virtual community of fellow stampers? You can join Stampin’ Up! – signing up now will entitle you to all the perks & benefits now thru Oct. 31st without an obligation to sell the product or hold workshops if you don’t want to, and no penalty to leave. If you choose to continue to stay on, you can decide to be a ‘hobby’ or ‘business’ demonstrator by sharing as much or little of Stampin’ Up! as you feel comfortable.

Right now, you join for only $99 (plus tax) and receive $155 worth of any current products you choose. We even pay the shipping for you! Click here if you are ready to take the plunge into the Stampin’ Up! family. You’ll never regret all the money you’ll save and the friends you’ll make. Joining now will entitle you to get the sneak peak into the new annual catalog as well as the Holiday catalog – even if you decide not to stay on.

So Jump In; all the cool kids are doing it!

Host a party anytime between now and May 30th and earn an additional $30 in hostess dollars to spend on any current catalog item(s) if your workshop total is $350 or more.

Want even more? Join Stampin’ Up! and get more product for free.

Baltimore or Bust

April 14, 2013

Oh my goodness! I had SUCH A GOOD TIME at the Baltimore Regional Stampin’ Up! event on Saturday I’m still on a high. The makes & takes, the WOW demos, the Prize Patrol, the swaps. It was all good!

I’ve posted some pics on my Facebook page (had trouble posting from the convention center but all the pics are up now) so “LIKE” me on Facebook if you haven’t already.

I’ll be posting pics of the swaps in the coming days AND I’ll be teaching some of the new techniques I learned during the event. Why don’t you join me, I have a class scheduled April 25th so if you are nearby, join me. Or host a workshop of your own.

Our new annual catalog goes live May 31, 2013. I can’t share with you (yet) all the new products that will be introduced in the new catalog but I can tell you, you won’t want to miss it! So book a party with now beginning May 31st and be the first one on your block to host a Stampin’ Up! new catalog party! You’re friends will be green with envy!

I can share the new Color Refresh with you now. Stock up on your favorite retiring colors before they are gone. Colors that have been announced as retiring will only be available while supplies last. And Not Quite Navy cardstock has already sold out!

Well off to bed for me; to dream of new colors! They are dreamy!

Hang On To Your Hats!

April 4, 2013

I am SO EXCITED to share with you some exciting news hot off the press from Stampin’ Up! In 2010 Stampin’ Up! totally revamped their color collections and announced at that time that we would ‘tweak’ their color families every 3-5 years to keep the colors fresh and trendy. This would be in addition to the In Color collections introduced each year.

Well, I’m happy to announce that a new Color Refresh has just been released. This includes bringing back, or keeping, several In Colors as well as the introduction of a never before seen color, Smoky Slate! I’m in love with Smoky Slate – we’ve needed a soft shade of light gray and this just fits the bill. And I’m thrilled that some of my favorite InColors will be hanging around: I couldn’t stand the thought of losing Pool Party, or Calypso Coral Island Indigo. And while I’m sorry that Lucky Limeade didn’t make the list, Pear Pizzazz is coming back, along with Bermuda Bay & Crushed Curry. In order to make room for these new colors to stick around, something had to give. The chart below details which colors are moving out of the way to make room for the new:

Now if you are dreaming of colors, and wanting to stock up on your favorite colors before they are gone, Stampin’ Up! is giving you the chance to order your favorite colors (cardstock, ink, ribbon, etc.) and anything you so desire with FREE SHIPPING THIS WEEKEND!

Stampin’ Up! is offering FREE shipping on EVERYTHING April 6-8 (excluding expedited orders)! That’s right. There is NO $6.95 shipping minimum or limit on how large or small your order must be.

Start making your wish list now and place your order this weekend!

Digital Scrapbooking – More For Less!

March 23, 2013

I absolutely LOVE our My Digital Studio Software for digital scrapbooks, digital design and party planning. And I have to admit, that I feel that I’ve barely scratched the surface – the design possibilities are seemingly endless. When Stampin’ Up! introduced a major overhaul to their software last July, I figured I would have to take the plunge into the digital scrap-booking & digital design world, even though I wasn’t sure if I would enjoy it or not. Well, I’ve never been sorry, except that I didn’t do it sooner!

Big News! If this amazing software alone isn’t enough to shout about, Stampin’ Up! has just announced that they’ve LOWERED the price of the MDS+ software from $79.95 to $19.95! That is not a typo! So for just under twenty bucks, you can have the leading digital scrapbooking software available.

So take the plunge! Enter the digital world. You probably have a pile of pics just sitting on your computer, or phone (the digital equivalent of a shoebox of photos!) – yes, I know you do. And you know you have all those photos too! So now, you can do something beautiful and creative with all those photos. And easy. So go ahead, climb up onto the high dive – CLICK HERE to go to my online store and order the software. Still hesitant? Prefer to just stick you toes in and test the water? CLICK HERE to download a FREE 30-day trial version. There’s nothing to lose.

But either way, join the masses and start your digital scrapbooking journey today. You’ll be glad you did.

And don’t keep this good news to yourself. Who do you know who takes lots of digital pics? Maybe a new mom? A newlywed? A bride to be? A soccer mom? (or football, or softball, etc.) The couple who travels alot? All of these people probably take lots of pictures – show them how they can start scrapbooking with the best software, now at the best price available.

Thank You, Eleanor

February 24, 2013

When the annual catalog for 2012 was released last June, one of the first stamp sets to make it to the top of my ‘must-have’ list was Everything Eleanor. The swirl/flourish image, the vintage background image, the pretty flowers & bird, the bordered circle image (just right for journaling in a scrapbook), all called my name. But for some reason, it is one of my most under-used stamp sets too! I set out to change that this weekend. With a boatload of thank-you cards that I need to make and send out, this was the first set I turned to, even though it doesn’t have a thank-you sentiment in the set. For that, I enlisted the help of a new friend, Pretty Petites which I got for FREE from the current Sale-A-Bration catalog along with the coordinating Petite Curly Label Punch which I also got for FREE during Sale-A-Bration. And they coordinate with the Curly Label Punch for layered goodness. A simple piece of ribbon and a pearl for finishing touches and I’m all done. My color combination was a monochromatic look starting with Very Vanilla cardstock, Sahara Sand ink for the background swirl, Soft Suede ink to stamp the worn background image and Early Espresso cardstock and ink for the Thank You sentiment.

The items I used are featured below or you can click on the hyperlink above and go straight to my online store and order these products for yourself. Everything Eleanor Clear-Mount Stamp Set
