Follow your Art...
ALWAYS FOLLOW YOUR ART |
Did you know that you an artist? Yep, you are. Every card you make is a beautiful masterpiece with love and meaning behind it. And I think you’re amazing for it! |
There are so many ways to express yourself through art, and all at at Stampin’ Up! applaud all forms of self-expression. That’s why we have the Follow Your Art Suite: made just for your inner artist. The stamps, dies, embellishments (with felt accents!) and super fun designer series paper all pay tribute to the ways to create a masterpiece; you won’t want to stop crafting! The suite even comes with Mini Shipping Boxes. Decorate them with the embossed buttons pattern and use them for gift boxes at parties, just like we did in the sample above. Don’t forget to share these samples, and your cards, with every artist you know! |
Everything you love about crafting, making and creating all in a cute suite designed to inspire you—to follow your art! |

Stampin with the Birds...
Stamping with the Birds |
It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s… the Bird Ballad Suite! Get ready to swoop this adorable suite up because its beautiful imagery is a showstopper. There are so many ways to make this suite perfect for everyone in your life. With the elegant ribbon and the fun trinkets that come in the suite, all you really need is a pop of colour to add just a tad bit of pizzazz, just like we did in the Thank You sample. |
But that’s not all you can do! In our Thanks For Being You sample, we used a Kraft Pillow Box and wrapped it up with the cute scalloped lace included in the suite, and made everything pop with the stamps and dies. You could even cut the beautiful images out of the Designer Series Paper just as we did in The World Needs More of You sample to explore your creativity. Any of these would make a great gift. |
The sky is the limit with this beautiful suite, and get ready to fly through every occasion with sweet sentiments and
gorgeous birds. |

The Essence of Florals...
THE ESSENCE OF FLORALS | ||||
Can’t get enough florals? Neither can we! With the Floral Essence Bundle, you can give the joy of floral to everyone! These stamps and punches are beautiful for any project, whether it’s creating a watercolour project like we did in the Blissful Future sample, or adding some punches and embellishments as in the All Days Are Beautiful sample. Or if you really want to get into the flower power, you can recreate the tin in the sample with one of our copper tins, Organdy Striped Ribbon, and the Perennial Flower Punch—and all of these are included in the Perennial Essence Suite!
or the bundle of the stamp set and punch as a bundle. |

The Story of a Blossom...
The Story of a Blossom |
Picture this: a tiny seedling on the verge of breaking through the soil. Can you see it? Now water it with affection and good vibes. What do you have after a little bit of time and a whole lot of love? A blossom—bold and beautiful and blooming! |
Now imagine that in a stamp set. With the Bloom & Grow Bundle, you can see the entire story of the blossom: from tiny seedlings to beautiful bouquets. Then sprinkle in some encouraging sentiments, and you’ve got a card for everyone you love! |
If you’re just beginning on your stamping journey, you can use these gorgeous stamps to create a patterned look for a simple but beautiful project as we did in our You Are Simply Wonderful sample, (Above) or if you want to step it up a notch, try tinkering with the dies and a blender pen, as we did in the Thanks sample. For all of you avid stampers, roll up your sleeves and add this bundle and some ribbon to a treat bag to make the cute bag you can see in the samples. There are so many options! So go on, you—just like the little seedling— can bloom and grow with just a few beautiful stamps, and a whole lot of love. |

A scrapbook in a Day??!!!...
It's been a busy morning here,
decided to do an "Ancestor Album' for someone as a gift,
by Saturday, no less.
and here it is... almost.
I'll just write in some names and dates and it's started for them to carry on, I hope.
So easy to do with stuff to hand, namely Stampin Up's Memories and More album,
pocket pages and the preprinted Memories and More Cards,
that slide straight in the pockets.
The hardest part was printing the Photos!
And yes Memories & More is still in the new catalogue....
look at pages 170 and 171,
or look in the online shop at www.christinebennett.stampinup.net
I will take more pictures and update next week,
now off to play with my new goodies....

Do you like Roses...
To a Wild Rose |
Roses are always nice to have, and you can never have
too many. How about giving someone a dozen wild roses … in stamps! With the To a Wild Rose Bundle, you can sprinkle every occasion with roses and warm wishes to everyone around you. |
Inspired by one of our Million Sales Achievers Mary
Ellen Byler, To a Wild Rose is one of our Distinktive stamp sets. That means it has so much depth and dimension, it might as well be the real thing. By layering the ink with a Sponge Dauber, or colouring in the beautiful images with Watercolor Pencils, these Distinktive stamps can come to life even more, and they are bound to leave an impression!

introducing the new Magnolia suite...
HOW SWEET IS THE MAGNOLIA LANE SUITE |
Do you have a specific flower that makes you happy whenever you see it? That’s how we feel about the Magnolia Lane Suite! It’s the perfect way to start anyone’s day, or any occasion. This beautiful suite is perfect for all skill levels, and it’s just waiting for you to get creative with some Stampin’ Blends or Watercolor Pencils in whatever colour you choose. |
But that’s not all! This suite comes with the Good Morning Magnolia bundle, which has all the stamps and dies you need to make your cards wonderful. You can even purchase the bundle separately! The dies in the Good Morning Magnolia bundle are perfect for creating a flower, just like the one on the top of the box in the sample above, which will give your projects a little extra “oomph.” I'll get 'some' of this Suite for next month's classes so we can all enjoy, happy stampin' |
