Tasteful Touches - You Are the Best


Each month, I do a swap with other Stampin' Up! demonstrators in the United States.  The theme was "New Catalog Swaps" so this is one of the new stamp sets that I ordered from the new catalog.  I love all the label dies that come with it as a Bundle to save 10%.   The new double sided tape Stampin' Seal is a lot stronger than the Snail Adhesive that Stampin' Up! used to have.  It holds a lot more too (16.4 yds. compared to 13.1 yds.) and just a dollar more.  They also carry Stampin' Seal + which is even stronger but great for 3-D projects and the same 16.4 yds.

The Big Shot is retired right now, but a newer version in the catalog is called Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine which will be available to customers September 1. There is also a Mini Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine but we don't know when it will be available yet.   As a demonstrator, I will be able to preorder the new Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine in August.  
For the month of June right now, there is a special.  If you love Stampin' Up! and want to get a discount even if it's just for your hobby, you can sign up this month for $99 and get $125 worth of product plus you get to choose a FREE BUNDLE of your choice from the catalog with your Starter Kit.   I'd love to have you join my team!

Celebrate Sunflowers - Stampin' Blends

Here is another Celebrate Sunflowers card that I made.  I'm just having so much fun using this stamp set, I haven't started using my other pre-order stamp sets yet.  On this one, I used the Stampin' Blends and does it look like I've added extra layers to give it dimension?  No, I didn't but I love how this card turned out using the Stampin' Blends. The Stampin' Blends will be sold as combos instead of individually starting June 3, so the codes will be different starting then.  I used the new label called Lovely Labels Pick a Punch too.  The Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine will not be able when the new catalog begins, but sometime soon.
Here is the instructions to make this card:
