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 sero-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!
If you are new to stamping and have few supplies, or if you are on a budget (aren’t we all) and looking for ways to get more out of your crafting dollars; do I have a tip for you! Get sentimental! That’s right! Go on the search for a great sentiment stamp set or two. Sets can be geared toward one occasion such as birthdays or designed to be used for many different occasions. Some sets contain sentiments designed to be used on the outside of a card that have a coordinating sentiment for the inside of the card. Sentiments can be paired with most any stamped image or stand alone on a card! Some of my favorite stamps sets are sentiment sets!
So, what are some ways to show off my sentiment stamps? I thought we would explore that today! Let’s take a look at the cards I created for today’s post. I used the Sweetly Scripted stamp set to create my sample cards:
* Card base - Basic White (thick) - 8 1/2” x 5 1/2” scored and folded at 4 1/4”
* Mat Layer - Basic White cardstock cut at 5 1/4” x 4” - embossed

Spring is here, and I am looking forward to gardening! Every year along with our vegetable garden we plant patches of sunflowers, cosmos, and zinnias. I enjoy the all the flowers, but zinnias are my favorite. They are just so colorful! Once again the name of this flower is pronounced differently by different regions. Some of you pronounce the name “ZIN EE UH,” while others pronounce it “ZIN YUH.” Where I live we say “ZEEN YUH.” However one pronounces the name, zinnias are just so joyful and add a pop of color anywhere you find them, even on cards!
For today’s cards I am using the SIMPLY ZINNIAS BUNDLE and some other items from the SIMPLY ZINNIA SUITE of products. These products are ONLINE EXCLUSIVES and can be viewed in the ONLINE STORE.
Let’s take a look at the cards:

If you happen to have the Flowering Zinnias DSP, you have noticed this design, and how the flowers on one side are upside down! This page is designed to allow for the creation of 6 card fronts. Many of Stampin’ Up!’s DSP packs include a page designed for this purpose.
Simply put the paper in the trimmer at 6” (cut between the flowers). Cut each half at 4” and 8”. This will give you six pieces that measure 6” x 4”. For a layer on an A-2 card front trim to 5 1/4”. Where you trim will depend on if you want to stamp the greeting directly on the DSP or and a greeting elsewhere. You can trim the 3/4” evenly from the top and bottom of the DSP, from the bottom only, or from the top only.

ICE CREAM SWIRL CARDS
I enjoyed creating these projects using the Ice Cream Swirl Bundle. The large ice cream cone image adds a lot of “WOW” to cards and other projects. The fact the ice cream cone can be a fun shaped card is such a fun option. All the accessories (stamps & dies) add so much to the versatility of this bundle.
That’s all for today. Thank you so much for stopping by. Until next time . . .
Today we’ll take an “In Detail” look at the TRUSTY TOOLS BUNDLE. This is a stamp and die bundle, and is found in the Stampin’ Up!®️ January - April 2024 Mini Catalog. This bundle is a great for creating guy cards, especially for the handyman , woodworker, or builder in your life. Of course this bundle can be used to create cards for handy women too, and kids who have a passion for tools!
This bundle gives you so many options for creating tool themed cards. The stamp set is a two -step set, meaning it contains stamps that are outline images and stamps that fill in the color. You can stamp the outline image and use your choice of medium to add color - markers, watercolor, sponges, etc. Stamp the images directly on to the card panel, or stamp the images and die cut them and adhere them to the card. If those are not enough options for you, you can stamp the outline image on colored cardstock and die cut the images, or just die cut the images from colored cardstock! Plus - there are dies to cut out pieces and assemble a drill, needle nosed pliers, a toolbox, and more.
Finally, the TRUSTY TOOLS BUNDLE coordinates with the TRUSTY TOOLBOX DSP found in the SALE-A-BRATION BROCHURE! This DSP is available for free with a $50 Stampin’ Up! product purchase (excludes tax and shipping), but the DSP is available for a limited time. SALE-A-BRATION runs now through 29 February.
