New Catalog Swaps!

Yay! It's been a few weeks since I've posted. Now that I have my new planner, I'm hoping that will help me stay on top of things! Getting the pictures seems to be such a chore! That is partly why it's taken me so long to post! I'd love to hear your process to get your pictures from your phone or tablet/ipad onto your computer/laptop. Plugging in my device doesn't seem to do the trick, I have to restart my laptop (which I don't do often enough!). I really need to back up everything and take it into the Apple store and get it updated. Problem is that might slow things down worse! They've told me I can get more memory added (my son said he can do that) but then it's also loading everything back onto my laptop. Just something I really don't want to do. I wish I could have someone else do it for me! LOL!

Ok, enough of that! I've had these wonderful swaps for a couple of weeks now and I've also had some time to play with some of the new stuff (never enough time for that!). So over the next few posts I'll share the swaps I received along with some of the samples I've made.

These first two are made using the Crafting Forever stamp set. It's such a beautiful set and this set has replaced the "Angel Policy" set that had been in the catalog. The sets we used to carry for this purpose had mostly stamps that said "I stamped this", or "hand stamped", etc. along with the "Stampin' Up!" & and copyright symbol. That's what you need if you plan on selling anything you've made with Stampin' Up! images. This new set has a much more artistic feel to it and MANY more uses, as you can see. Here are only two samples, but I've seen a lot more!

In this first card to the left it showcases the new In Colors for 2017-2019. I really love ALL of them and have used all of the colors on several projects. This card was also colored in with markers I think and has Wink of Stella on it. Very pretty and made by Leslie Duffy. She did a beautiful job!

This next creation was done by my upline Tina Rosenkrans. She used the same phrase on hers but it certainly looks nothing like the first card. I do like this phrase and it's something I wish I could do everyday!

Hers is watercolored and she also used Timeless Textures on the background. She created this so you could put it in a frame. I can't wait to get one! For now, I have it displayed on an easel in my studio.

I hope you've enjoyed these 2 cards. If you'd like to know what all the other products used are, contact me and I'd be more then happy to help you out!

If you'd like to purchase any of the items through me you can go to my STORE. Don't forget to use June's Hostess Code HVMJ66AU and you can earn this month's VIP item! To learn more about that, click HERE!

Memories & More!

So have you noticed the Memories & More in the new catalog? It has it's own section but you'll also find it throughout the catalog. That's because the card packs now coordinate with our DSP & stamp sets! So as the name implies, you can do MORE then create memories! They've made it even easier to make cards, 3D items, and Home Decor! I posted a video on my Facebook page, Cyndy's Creative Corner, this morning and also planning a product based class for August. So keep your peepers peeled!

If you'd like to learn more, contact me, or head on over to my STORE, to see all the Memories & More product line.

New Catalog!!!

The new annual catalog is LIVE!!! I placed my order for new items I wasn't able to get before. As a demonstrator, Stampin' Up! lets us order some items the month before the catalog starts so we can start planning and making samples. Now you as a customer can order as well! There are so many new stamps, inks, paper, embellishments in this catalog. I'm certainly going to be busy even more so after this shipment arrivals!

If you haven't received a catalog and would like one email me and I'll get one out to you.

I'll be having my open house July 15, so mark your calendar and make sure you attend, it's going to be FANTASTIC! Hop on over to my website for more details.

SHOP NOW!!!

Happy Anniversary!!!

Also Happy Saturday! I hope you can enjoy this long weekend! For a good friend, it's her 50th Wedding Anniversary! So of course I had to make a card! I did CASE (Copy And Share Everything) this card and thought it was gorgeous. It does use some retired items. I loved the background vellum. It's something we had in a previous holiday mini and I fortunately still had! So much easier then trying to figure out something different. I'm not sure she received the card by today but wanted to share it on her anniversary anyway. I hope she enjoys it as much as I did making it and that you do too!

This card also uses some current product as well. The Bloomin' Heart Thinlits and it's coordinating stamp set Bloomin' Love as well as Large Numbers Framelits and one of it's coordinating stamp set Number of Years. I used gold embossing powder and the outgoing gold satin ribbon. I don't use this ribbon much but it's a really nice elegant ribbon.

Well this is a short post today because since it's finally not raining, I need to get outside and do some yard work! With all the rain, things have been growing by leaps and bounds and they need some trimming!



Don't forget there are only a FIVE more days to get any retiring items! Click HERE to get your favorites before they're GONE!

Enjoy your weekend and hope you're able to do something fun! We're keeping it low key and taking it easy after all the yard work! Oh, btw, if anyone wants some frogs, come on over, they keep getting in the pool and I'm getting really tired of scooping them out!
