YAY!!!  I am SUPER excited to share my 2020 January-June Mini Catalog Product Shares with you.  Each year, my customers and members of Lori's Dream Team ask for this, so I happily organize it.  Because, who am I to disappoint?  Not you, that's for sure!  So, if you are new to the paper crafting industry, you might be asking, "What the heck is a 'Product Share'"?  Follow me as I explain.

WHAT IS A PRODUCT SHARE?

As each new Stampin' Up! catalog comes to life, the excitement for all of the new products can be a bit overwhelming.  You COULD place a big order and purchase one of each one of the new Designer Series Paper packs and accessories in the catalog, but that could be a bit outside of the walls of our pocket book.  To share a small portion of these new products that we *NEED* to have, means that we bring in the purchasing power of our friends and purchase a smaller portion of everything for a smaller fraction of the price.  This is why product shares are so helpful.  When you sign up for a spot in one of my shares, you'll have "a little bit of everything" so that you can "sample the buffet" before fully investing in the products.

How to "save your spot" in Lori's Product Shares, please email me directly at [email protected]

Everyone within the U.S. is welcome to participate (per Stampin' Up! guidelines, I'm not allowed to sell products outside of the United States borders).  Supplies for the first round of share groups will be ordered as soon as the catalog goes live on January 3rd.  In order to offer these shares, I have to collect EIGHT (8) signups; and per Stampin' Up! policy, I am not allowed to post a "Buy Now" button for product shares.  So, in order to get in on the first round..."save your spot" and email me the following information:

2020 Occasions Catalog Product Shares

So, what items from the new Stampin' Up! catalog am I sharing with you?  To make life super easy for you (and for me), I've included several options for you.  There are Designer Series and Specialty Paper shares; and, catalog Ribbon & Trim shares.  My All-time favorite is the "Whole Kit-n-Kaboodle" option.  Receive everything offered at a bundled price!  To view all of the selections up close and personal  Download CatalogProductShares-DSP-Ribbon to review your options.

Hello everyone!!

So, who is in love with the new Stampin' Up! catalog?  Raise your hand and shout out a big WOOT!!  The new 2016-2018 In Colors are spot on YUMMY, too!  I mean, really, even the new names are so cute and fun...Dapper Denim, Emerald Envy, Flirty Flamingo, Peekaboo Peach, and Sweet Sugarplum.  During my stamp class, one of the ladies said she is going to name her next pet "Peekaboo Peach"!  How adorable is that?!!

Since getting back home from Stampin' Up!'s incentive trip, the Mediterranean cruise, I have been in mass production mode.  I like to personally hand-deliver and mail out the new catalogs to each of my customers, instead of having them mailed directly from Stampin' Up!  My reason why?  So that I can include a handmade card, of course!  Every package should come with a little bit of handmade goodness, right?! I purposely leave the card blank inside so they can use it for any occasion they see fit...a small token of love and appreciate for all they do to support me.

There is a rule for the card I create, though...it must show off each of the new In Colors with a sampling of ink, cardstock, and ribbon/embellishment.  Simply a must!!  In addition, one needs to show off a fun (new) stamp set and a tool of some sort.  The Swirly Scribbles Thinlits Dies along with the Confetti Celebration and Swirly Bird stamp sets helped fill the requirements.

Since there are 5 new In Colors, I created 5 different options by rotating 5 items involved in the creation:  cardstock matte, Swirly Scribbles die cut, speckles image stamped in the center of the Whisper White layer, color of the stamped star, and the (beee-u-tiful) 3/8" Ruched Ribbon.  Let me just say...this new ribbon is wonderful to play with...very light, soft, and ties into a lovely knot or bow with no fussing.  YOU will want to get your hands on this new ribbon....trust me!!  ;)

CRAFTING TIP:  To save time and reduce the extra cutting of cardstock for the Swirly Scribbles Thinlit die, I simply 'stole' the die cut from each of the matted layers.  Shhhh!  No one will ever know because no one can see through the Whisper White layer that has been stamped on and covered with the die cut and embellished star.  Teehehehe!  I love it when efficiency comes in to play with mass production.

New 2016-2018 In Color 3/8" Ruched Ribbon Shares

Do you want to get your hands on some of the new Ruched Ribbon, but do not want to use all of your crafting budget on a full spool (10 yards per spool) of each new In Color?  How about we get a group of friends together and "share" the spools of ribbon?  By bringing in the purchasing power of our friends, each participant can purchase a smaller portion of everything for a smaller fraction of the price.  This is called a "Product Share", and is amazingly helpful.

When you sign up for a spot in one of my shares, you'll have "a little bit of everything" so that you can "sample the buffet" before fully investing in the products.

How to "save your spot" in Lori's 2016-2018 In Color 3/8" Ruched Ribbon Product Share, please email me directly at [email protected]

Everyone within the U.S. is welcome to participate (current customers, new customers, and members of Lori's Dream Team).  Supplies for the first round of share groups will be ordered as soon as all spots fill.  In order to offer this ribbon share, I have to collect FIVE (5) signups; and per Stampin' Up! policy, I am not allowed to post a "Buy Now" button for product shares.  So, in order to get in on the first round..."save your spot" and email me the following information:

Each share will consist of 2 yards of each color (Dapper Denim, Emerald Envy, Flirty Flamingo, Peekaboo Peach, and Sweet Sugarplum). All ribbon shares are wrapped around cardboard to ensure wrinkle free ribbon. In addition...all shares are protected by cello bag packaging to ensure safe and dry delivery!

Good morning stampers & paper crafters!

 
Welcome to another installment of our Stamp It Blog Hop.  You may have just arrived here from Tami White's blog or this may be your very first stop.  If so, thank you soooo much!  I am excited you are here. This month we are featuring our lovely Stampin' Up! Designer Series Papers that can be found on pages 142-144 of our new annual catalog.  Beings that I was born and raised on a farm, I jumped at the opportunity to show off a few designs from the Farmers Market Designer Series pack. 

I've known about this blog hop for a few weeks, but kept putting it off until the last minute.  I think they call that behavior 'procrastination'.  haha  So, of course, when I *need* to get started on this project, my creative juices dried up and I couldn't get my MOJO started without a little help from a MOJO Monday sketch.  I am so excited to show you....let's go!

• One of my favorite things about our Designer Series paper is that each pack comes with 12 colorful sheets; 2 sheets of 6 double-sided designs.  I love sooo many of the patterns in the Farmers Market series; and the sketch I chose is perfect to show off more than one design...**squeal**!! 

• The other thing I REALLY like about our Designer Series Paper packs is that Stampin' Up! lists the colors on the packaging so that it is super easy to choose cardstocks, ink colors, and embellishments.  The panel across the front really needed to be a single, large image...in my mind, anyway.  So, I chose to use a stamp from the Big News set.  I pulled out my Stampin' Write markers in the coordinating colors of Old Olive, Cherry Cobbler, and Hello Honey to color the sentiment and then stamp onto Whisper White cardstock.

• I love to add a unique finish to my cards, and I'm definitely on a Jute Ribbon kick.  I can't seem to create without including a little here and there.  I love the texture and the little bit of rustic feel to the creation.  Stampin' Up! offers a Basic Black Baker's Twine, but it is not a solid color.  I decided to slice a very (I mean, very) thin sliver of Basic Black cardstock and loop and gather this strand to make it look like an imitation Baker's Twine and secure it under the stamped heart from the Big News stamp set.

Well, that's it....super cute and easy, don't you think?  While the card ingredients are listed at the bottom of this post, you'll want to head on over to Liz Miller's blog to check out her uber cute project.  Let me tell you, she does amazing work.  Just click on the 'next' button and you'll be on your way.

Hello stampers and paper crafters!

All I can say is "WHEW"!  Summer is always a busy and exciting time for my family as it is filled with a handful of birthday celebrations, lots of gift buying, and too much good food.  As we celebrated my younger daughter's (Kasey) birthday yesterday, we said goodbye to the 'teens' and greeted the beginning of a new decade.  What better way to celebrate than with a birthday card using the Sprinkles of Life stamp set.  I can't wait to share with you what I made!  **squeal**

Let's check out the card deets:

• Have you tried using Stampin' Up!'s Kraft cardstock to use for your card base?  How about making gift tags?  Gift boxes?  Oh dear!  You really must give it a try.  It is heavier than our regular cardstock, and is a natural 'kraft' color.  LOVE it!!  This cardstock is only available in 12x12 size, but you get 12 sheets.  I love that it comes in this size so that I can use it with any of the Sizzix dies to create boxes and treat bags, too.

• The card base is 'almost' A2 size (4" x 5-1/2") with the fold across the top.  This was a left over piece from another project...love working with various sized cards, plus, I used up a piece of 'scrap'.  haha

• Kasey has always been the little girl with curls that loves to joke, laugh, and have fun.  So to keep with her cheerful and contagious mood, I had to create a fun and whimsical card that is fitting to her personality.  I think the mix of Pool Party, Watermelon Wonder and Very Vanilla scream 'happy' colors, don't you think?  These are the same colors featured in the Sweet Li'l Things Designer Series paper.  Super cute, but I had to cheat and use a strip of designer paper from a the retired "Flashback" series because I didn't want to include the color-coordinated baby-themed 'clouds patterns' included in the Sweet Li'l Things pack.

• For some added pizzazz, I pulled out the Squares Framelits Collection and created some 'frames' to coordinate with the color scheme.  To add a little texture and fun, I found some drywall patch meshing tape and placed it behind the Pool Party frame.  The rest of the frames were randomly positioned and glued down by adding liquid glue to the lower left corners.  The rest of the frame sections are free from any adhesive.

• Before adding the focal image, I pulled some threads from the 1-1/4" Burlap Ribbon and tied around the Pool Party panel and tied a bow through the Very Vanilla frame.  This whole panel was popped up using Stampin' Dimensionals and added to the Kraft card base.

• The cupcake, especially the cupcake liner, was the part that took me the longest to make a decision about.  The upper part of the cupcake was inked with Watermelon Wonder and stamped onto a scrap piece of Very Vanilla cardstock.  I took my Aquapainter and watercolored Watermelon Wonder ink to make it look like it had been frosted.  I love smooshing ink into the lid of the ink pad to watercolor.  This gives you the freedom to make your watercoloring as dark or as light as you want...all with the squish of water from your Aquapainter.

• The one thing you have to be careful about when using Classic Inks and the Aquapainter is the smudge factor.  I've put together a little sampling of the different ways to achieve a 'colored' image, but take note of what will happen when you watercolor over top of Classic Ink in the first sampling.

• I could have just went the easy way and stamped my images directly onto the Pool Party or Watermelon Wonder cardstock, but those did not satisfy my wish for a light and whimsically colored image.  Plus, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to share with you how to watercolor an image and avoid the smudge factor.  Teehehe!!

• NOTE:  Stampin' Up! donates time and money to support Ronald McDonald House Charities and every year Stampin' Up! designates one stamp set on behalf of this cause.  The Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) keeps families together and surrounded by love when their children are receiving medical treatment far from home.  So, when you purchase your copy of the Sprinkles of Life stamp set, Stampin' Up! will donate $3 to the Ronald McDonald House Charities.  To date, they have contributed over $1,000,000 to RHMC and their network of local RMHC Chapters.  Together, we do make a difference!
