Stampin' Up! Updates

For the next few emails you will see this article to start off.  I'm doing this so you don't miss out on a single promotion or new product while we transition from the current catalogs to the new Annual Catalog.  Today I want to share two big announcements: New Online Exclusive Products and Last Chance Promotions.  You can read more about each of these in their blog posts.  Here I like to just give you the high points.

New Online Exclusives:  Stampin' Up! hit it out of the park with the most recent online exclusive offerings.  If you're not interested in browsing my blog post you can use this link to hop over to My Stampin' Up! Store and see all of them.

Yes, I know this promotion doesn't start until April 9, BUT - you can already review the lists and see what you want to grab before it's gone!  All the details can be found in this post.

Keeping Track of Loose Dies

This is my newest genius move and I'm loving it!  Ok - let me shrink my ego back to size, but truly this has changed my cardmaking game.  I don't know if you have this problem, but I tend to lose my dies when I'm in a flurry of card making.  Can you relate?  Then I have to look under everything and pray that I didn't accidently toss it with the last batch of scraps.  Here's my solution:  I had this little wheelbarrow in my stash of containers.  I pulled it out an voila!  It sits right next to my die cutting machine.  If I don't want to put the die away on its proper magnetic card then I toss it in the wheelbarrow to be used again or put away later.

Let me know if you like this tip and want others like this.

Enjoy Your Day Birthday Card

Can you tell I was in the mood for layers?  I had such a great time using the all-new Everyday Details Dies from the mini catalog.  I'm happy to report these dies are staying around for another year!

You can see all the products I used and get the dimensions in this post.  And if you keep reading you'll see how you can win a prize for copying this card!

Tip #2

AI was really struggling recently to get a jar of pickles open.  It was a big jar (think Costco size) and although I have some silicone jar openers - they just weren't up for the task.  Guess what?  The Stampin' Up! Silicone Craft Sheet worked!  I still have one in my craft room, but one of my backups is now in a kitchen drawer ready to help when needed.

Sketch of the Month

First, thanks for getting this far.  Give yourself a pat on the back!  Then make a card using this sketch, take a picture and post it in our free Facebook Group.  On May 1 I will choose one person to win some card making supplies.  Will it be you?

Again, thanks for reading through this.  I hope you found some helpful information, and a little entertainment.  The next few emails won't be this long, but I am committed to keeping you "in the loop" every Tuesday.

Enjoy your week!  You might get a bonus email later in the week - can you say "Flash Sale"?
