NEW CATALOG, NEW IN COLORS, & NEW DIRECTIONS

 Hi Stampers!

The Stampin’ Up!®️ 2024 Annual Catalog will go live in just over one week (1 May 2024). This catalog has a new look and new layout. It is different, but still full of the great Stampin’ Up! products we all love. My favorite thing in every new annual catalog is the brand new In Colors. As much as I loved the In Colors introduced last year, I love these colors even more! So, today we’ll take a look at the Stampin’ Up! 2024-2026 IN COLORS! These new colors are bright and fresh! I really enjoyed creating today’s cards using these colors! Let’ take a look at the cards:

STAMPIN’ UP! 2024-2026 IN COLORS


NEW DIRECTIONS

Every now and then we need to stop, take a deep breath, and re-evaluate where we are, where we would like to be, and decide if the time has come for changes. This is where I find myself. Since September I have been dealing with “something.” I had no idea what that “something”was when I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. It is some type of inflammatory arthritis. My tests suggest I have drug induce lupus and / or zero-negative rheumatoid arthritis. 

I am feeling better. I no longer take the medication that could be causing the issue. I am taking a medication to help relieve other symptoms. The most difficult symptom for me to handle is the extreme fatigue. 

I needed to make a few life changes. One of those changes is giving up my Stampin’ Up! demonstratorship. Being a demonstrator is not difficult and I have enjoyed the past ten years with Stampin’ Up! I just need to simplify my life as much as possible. So, as of 1 May I will no longer be a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator.

So, what does that mean for my You Tube Channel and this blog? My plan is to continue with this blog and continue making videos. My videos will switch focus from Stampin’ Up! products to a focus on card layouts, techniques, and encouraging all of us to use what we have to create spectacular cards. I will still use Stampin’ Up! products for the most part. Some products will be retired, but because the focus will be more on layouts and techniques you will be able to create your own versions of the sample cards by using the supplies you have on hand.  

I want to thank everyone who has supported me through my Stampin’ Up! journey. I appreciate you all so much. I hope you will join me as I go off in this new direction!

Thank you for stopping by. Until next time . . .

Stamp Happy!

Kim
