Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop - Fresh & New

Welcome to the MAY 2025 Edition of the Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop! You'll see projects in our hop from Stampin' Up! demonstrators around the world--I'm in Colorado Springs, Colorado. (Note: I can only sell to customers in the US, so any prices mentioned are in USD)

We generally hop the first Friday of each month, and our theme for today is Fresh & New! My project today features a new-ish stamp set, called She's the Greatest.
{you can find all Product Purchase Links below the Blog Roll near the bottom of the post}


The She's the Greatest Stamp Set came out last month, in our Online Exclusives. It has a little kitty in the stamp set, and you can also use different stamps to make it say 'Cat Mom', so I obviously had to have it! I wanted to make a really simple cat shaped card, and I could have gone with a real cat color, but I love Misty Moonlight so that's the color I used for the cardstock base. I left a little tiny flat bit across the top of each ear so the card would fold over.

I purposefully kept the colors to a minimum, and didn't bling up the card, because I wanted to show how easy it can be to just mostly use what you already have. In addition to the Misty Moonlight Cardstock, I also used Petal Pink Cardstock, Basic White Cardstock, and Basic Black Cardstock. And I only used one ink pad - a Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pad. If you wanted to bling it up more, using some Silver Foil Sheets and/or some Basic Rhinestones on the "collar" would be easy upgrades.

I did use a few retired items for this card, because honestly, I'm tired of trying to limit my projects to using only current Stampin' Up! products. These are staple items that any paper crafter would want in their stash: 1" Circle Punch, 3/4" Circle Punch, and a white gel pen.

Stampin' Supplies: She's the Greatest Stamp Set, Misty Moonlight Cardstock, Basic White Cardstock, Basic Black Cardstock, Petal Pink Cardstock, Tuxedo Memento Black Ink Pad, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Stampin' Dimensionals, Bone Folder, Paper Snips, Paper Trimmer, Simply Shammy (for cleaning photopolymer stamps), and Grid Paper. And don't forget Medium Basic White Envelopes for mailing!

Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop - A Fond Farewell

Welcome to the April 2025 Edition of the Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop! You'll see projects in our hop from Stampin' Up! demonstrators around the world--I'm in Colorado Springs, Colorado. (Note: I can only sell to customers in the US, so any prices mentioned are in USD)

We generally hop the first Friday of each month, and our theme for today is A Fond Farewell! My project today features the Bird's Eye View Stamp Set, along with a couple of retiring 2023-2025 In Colors.
{you can find all Product Purchase Links below the Blog Roll near the bottom of the post}


This is just a quick bookmark, with a little "jacket", or "pocket" for safe keeping. The Bird's Eye View Stamp Set is retiring, and I will miss their cute little faces and the eyeglasses you can put on them! I will also miss Boho Blue, as it's one of the 2023-2025 In Colors which are retiring. Blue is my favorite color, and Boho Blue is such a pretty color. It reminds me of the Cornflower Blue in the box of Crayons that I used to covet, and actually try not to use, because I loved looking at it so much.

Stampin' Supplies: Bird's Eye View Stamp Set, Saying Hey Stamp Set, Basic White Cardstock, Boho Blue Cardstock, Timeless Plaid 6"x6" Designer Series Paper, Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pad, Stampin' Blends Combo Packs: Boho Blue, Copper Clay, Stampin' Blends Color Lifter, Natural Tones Linen Thread, Modern Oval Punch (to punch the notch at the top of the pocket), Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Mini Glue Dots, Bone Folder, Paper Snips, Paper Trimmer, Simply Shammy (for cleaning photopolymer stamps), and Grid Paper. And don't forget Medium Basic White Envelopes for mailing!

Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop - Stamp FREE

Welcome to the February 2025 Edition of the Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop! You'll see projects in our hop from Stampin' Up! demonstrators around the world--I'm in Colorado Springs, Colorado. (Note: I can only sell to customers in the US, so any prices mentioned are in USD)

We generally hop the first Friday of each month, and our theme for today is Stamp Free! My project today features the Happiest Day Stamp Set, which I chose as a FREE item with my Stampin' Rewards. Scroll down to see how you can earn even MORE stamps (and other select products) for FREE during Sale-a-Bration!!!
{you can find all Product Purchase Links below the Blog Roll near the bottom of the post}


Through the end of February 2025, you can earn stamps, or other select Stampin' Up! product, for FREE during Sale-a-Bration! (View or Download PDF Brochure HERE)
 
There are 3 ways you can cash in on the goodies:

1) For every $60 in product you SPEND on any single retail order, you can choose one FREE Level 1 Sale-a-Bration item (or once you hit $120, you can choose from Level 2, as well). 
2) When you HOST (you can gather orders or just place your own) and your retail order total reaches $300, you earn an EXTRA $30 in Stampin' Rewards to buy whatever product you want.
3) And when you JOIN Stampin' Up! by ordering the Starter Kit (only $99, no shipping) you can choose up to $125 in product, and ALSO take advantage of one of the two offers below...

OPTION #1 - Your choice of TWO Stampin' Write Marker assortments of 10 markers each (Brights, Neutrals, Regals, Subtles), PLUS the Handmade Designs stamp set exclusively designed to work with markers. This option is an additional $91 Value.

OPTION #2 - Your choice of an additional $30 in products on your Starter Kit order.
 
(Note: the Starter Kit is not considered a retail order, so the Spend and Host offers do not apply. However, as soon as you JOIN Stampin' Up! you will be able to get at least 20% off your orders, and any orders you place during Sale-a-Bration can qualify for the Spend and Host offers!)

PRO TIP: if you find at least $99 in product you want to buy, order the Starter Kit and you will get to choose up to $125 in product for that same $99, PLUS there's NO SHIPPING on a Starter Kit Order. And, during Sale-a-Bration you can choose your option to get even MORE VALUE in your Starter Kit Order!!!

 Back to my project for today. As I mentioned above, I used the Happiest Day Stamp Set. I actually made the card for the Craft Roulette #252 Challenge - which is a great way to exercise your creativity! A new challenge streams live every Friday. Anyway, my layout was inspired by the sample card for the With You In Mind Stamp Set you see below. I didn't even realize until I posted this picture that I came close to using the very same colors! I was working from memory. One of the cool things about a card like this, is if you can cut all 3 colors of card stock at the same angle at the same time, you can make 3 cards with the order of the colors swapped around on each one.


Stampin' Supplies: Happiest Day Stamp Set, Basic White Cardstock, Fresh Freesia Cardstock, Pretty in Pink Cardstock and Ink Pad, Daffodil Delight Cardstock & Ink Pad, Peach Pie Cardstock & Ink Pad, Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pad, Pecan Pie & Clear Ribboned Adhesive-Backed Dots, Pretty in Pink 3/8" Bordered Ribbon, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Mini Stampin' Dimensionals, Bone Folder, Paper Snips, Paper Trimmer, Simply Shammy (for cleaning photopolymer stamps), and Grid Paper. And don't forget Medium Basic White Envelopes for mailing!
