Click here to page through the Holiday 2020 Catalog online!

I have been waiting for today!!! The Holiday 2020 mini catalog is open for business, AND we have a gorgeous, brand-new storefront for shopping it! Stampin' Up's online store got a makeover and it's lush and lovely... and FULL of everything your little crafty heart could desire for fall, Thanksgiving, Halloween, Christmas, New Year's and wintery fun cards and pages.

Couple things to note about the 2020 Holiday mini catalog:

• Pay attention to the bundles--you'll save 10% over ordering the items individually!
• We have returning favorites from last year, for the first time ever! The Moose Punch is back!!
• We've been warned the CUTE coffee cup & carrier stuff is likely to go fast!
• PS--the coffee cups are larger than the little sample size ones you sometimes see. They hold a gift card!
• The Poinsettia Petals bundle is on a teeny tiny backorder but will be in by the end of the month.
• Subscribe to my once-a-week email newsletter to stay up to date on availability, specials and freebies!

DON'T FORGET to use any Bonus Days coupon codes earned in July! They expire August 31st. You can use them on anything in the online store! if you have misplaced the email with the codes, you'll need to call 1-800 STAMP UP and get them reissued.

SUITE SAMPLER SUBSCRIBERS: I am planning to use the Gilded Autumn, Snowflake Splendor and Wonder of the Season papers/accessories for upcoming Suite Samplers in the fall and winter months. This may change due to availability, but I wanted you to know in case you want to add the coordinating stamps or bundles to your wish list!

One last note....

Our new store is a brand new site, completely separate from the old store, and it might not transfer any "saved" or automatic passwords. If you can't remember yours, just click on "forgot password" to reset it. Your online account is still just fine, although please take a sec to make sure your shipping info is up to date --and I'm still listed as your preferred demonstrator! : ) Thanks, friends!

Questions? Lyssa@songofmyheartstampers.com

31 Pages in 31 Days: grab your flip flops (and your swag bag!)

Grab your sunglasses, hat and flip flops for today's inspiration page! I was inspired by the strips on these scrap strips I had leftover from a huge project last month. The pattern and colors reminded me of a beach towel, and the whole page came together around that.

The only bad thing about this page is that I do not have any recent beachy photos to use with it! Boo hoo!!! I miss traveling!

The colors in the strips are all 'hot" colors, so I needed to introduce some "cool" tones to make it easier on the eyes. Two shades of aqua blue (Coastal Cabana and Bermuda Bay) match the intensity of the red/pink/yellow tones, while calming the overall feel.

That's it from me today!

Oh wait, I never answered the burning question posed by the title of this post!

WHAT DID YOU MEAN, SWAG BAG?????

Hee hee! Well, just that. I've put together THE MOST AMAZING SCRAPBOOKING SWAG BAGS in the history of all time ever, with over $150+ in Stampin' Up amazingness, and you can get one for $50 (which includes shipping.)

Here's a list of all the things that MIGHT be in your purty official Stampin' Up Logo swag bag:

• loads of 12x12 papers and12x12 cardstocks
• markers, pens and inks
• kits and Paper Pumpkins
• brand new stamp sets and stamp sheets
• die-cut headlines and accents
• embellishments galore
• ribbons, twine and textiles
• pounds of scraps and strips
• tools, punches, dies and folders
• extra Suite Samplers, demonstrator card samples
• A password for a free month of My Layout Library
• Song of My Heart logo stuff!!!
• There will be a minimum of 31 different things in each bag (get it?)

The deadline (absolute deadline!!) for this swag bag offer is August 12th. I have a teeny tiny stamp room and they gotta go!

Here's how to get yours: go to http://www.paypal.me/songofmyheart and send me $50 even (shipping & tax included in that amount). On the subject/memo line, write SWAG BAG, so I know what it's for. Then watch the mail! It's just that easy to have my giant package of FUN delivered right to your doorstep.

What a huge boost to your scrapbooking to have a bajillion (actual count) new textures, colors and goodies to mix it up. Ok, ok, not actual count. But that's how awesome it's going to feel.

Get ready to get mojo'd!

Here's my personal reccomendations for your freebie:

• NEW to stamping? Pick a stamp and punch bundle for quick, simple success, such as Lovely You or Fancy Phrases
• Already have quite a collection? What's missing? Pick a bundle that fills a hole in your existing choices.
• Love inky techniques? Mountain Air or Field Tiles will scratch that itch and keep you learning as you play.
• Do mostly holiday crafting? Pick a versatile bundle that has fall and Christmas options, such as Arrange a Wreath or Jar of Flowers
• Planning to do Stampin' Up as a business? Pick a bundle that's part of a larger suite of coordinating goodies so you can point out fun additional purchases, such as Prized Peony or Forever Fern.

So here's how it works when you order the Starter Kit either as a side hobby or to build a business (your choice, too!):

• YOU CHOOSE any Stampin' Up merchandise up to (but not over) $125.
• YOU CHOOSE which bonus bundle to add on for free
• A case of new catalogs is included for free, to hand out to friends
• You pay just $99 and NO shipping, only tax
• You'll be in my SU family and have SO MUCH FUN!

It's so easy to join--just snag your catalog and any major credit card, and in about 15 minutes you'll be the newest member of the Song of My Heart demonstrator team! I can't wait to welcome you.  

Ready to order the Starter Kit just for yourself (love the discount!), as a side hustle, or even a new career? http://bit.ly/joinSUnow

Still have questions? That's ok too! Let's chat: Lyssa@songofmyheartstampers.com

Final day to get these retiring stamp sets and accessories!

Need a NEW catalog? Please email me to request that I be your Stampin' Up demonstrator and provide you with all the news, catalogs, samples and special offers! It would be my honor to help with your crafting needs. Lyssa@songofmyheartstampers.com

Ordering goes LIVE for the new catalog in the wee hours of tomorrow morning, June 3rd! I can't wait. Just a heads up--there's an extra $25 in hostess bucks for a $250 party during June, so you might want to get what you wanted all at once instead of breaking it up into smaller orders--or order with a friend or two if getting your whole wish list isn't feasible right now. : )

One more thought for tomorrow morning--I will be putting up the Class of the Month post for June (featuring Jar of Flowers and the new Mason Jar punch) shortly. If your order is less than $150, feel free to use the code when you order and get club benefits!

JUNE COTM Club Code 2020: 9GYTRH2H

See you tomorrow!

Simple, sweet magnolias

There's just a teeny bit of time left in the old catalog, and I'm using those minutes to draw your attention to a sweet little set that actually wasn't IN it! The Magnolia Blooms stamp set was only featured in our beginner's brochure, Experience Creativity. It's like a mini version of the enormously popular Good Morning Magnolia set.

I sat down to see what I could do with Magnolia Blooms before it's too late for you to add it to your collection, too! I came up with four very simple, clean layouts that you'll love--and the basic supplies to make 40+ of them are just under $50! That's including envelopes. WOW!

I used scraps of patterned paper to contrast with the florals on two of my designs. The coordinating Magnolia Lane papers are also retiring and those are a great choice if you want to match. This sweet Petal Pink polka dot pattern came from Bird Ballad.

Actually... the size of this smaller magnolia is probably more versatile and useful than the big set! However, you might consider getting both so you have all of the sentiments plus a wide variety of sizes of the flower for both cards, pages, and the outsides of your envelopes.

Here's my supplies list, broken down by cost. Making your own greeting cards CAN be pricey, depending on what you feel you need-- but with wise buys and thrifty tricks, it can also be considerably cheaper than the store. And for newbies or people in a hurry? Magnolia Blooms is about as smart a purchase as it gets. 

Click any link to go view the product details in my online store! 

• Magnolia Blooms Photopolymer Stamp Set [152729] $14.00
• Mossy Meadow & Soft Suede Classic Stampin' Spots [152454] $2.40
• Blushing Bride Classic Stampin' Pad [147100] $7.50
• Whisper White 8-1/2" X 11" Thick Cardstock [140272] $8.25
• Whisper White Medium Envelopes [107301] $7.50
• Linen Thread [104199] $5.00
• Pearl Basic Jewels [144219] $5.00
• Total: $49.65 for what you need for 40+ cards!

 

This self-imposed challenge was so fun! Do you ever set yourself a little crafty task, like using up a certain bunch of scraps, or finally getting a neglected stamp set inky? When you complete your goal, relax with one of my Stampin' Up virtual puzzles. How fun is this weekend going to be?! Happy stamping!

Inspiring Iris paired with perfectly marvelous dies

I can't get over how simple and elegant this card is! My friend Carolyn sent me a "hug from Arkansas" and it was so pretty I gasped when I opened the envelope! She used the Inspiring Iris stamp set I feature in this month's Class of the Month, so I couldn't wait to share.

Doesn't it pair perfectly with the Ornate Layers dies? And the Ornate Floral embossing folder? WOW!

April 2020's Class of the Month deadline is the 28th, so be sure to add the club code 4SMDWZWS to your order when you're working on your retirement wish list!

Shortsighted me did not order the new catalog sneak peek Ornate Garden bundle... but I am going to rectify that! I thought I didn't need this gorgeous new product medley but I keep getting amazing cards from friends using it. Here's some stunners!

I KNOW! WOW, right? I think I gotta get this! At least the dies if nothing else. I think they might be the prettiest ones I've ever seen!

even more Purple Lover's Party projects!

My fingers are still inky and the color continues to be purple! We're celebrating the new color Purple Posy by having a long weekend full of purple-only projects. My first card today is a bonus card for my Class of the Month participants in October. I always use the class' featured set when I make a card to send with their sampler of the month, so I knew I needed to use Winter Woods.

But since it's purple party weekend... I used it in purple!

Purple is really fun for a Christmas card, actually. It's very elegant, and being the color of royalty it's great for cards celebrating the birthday of the King! Lavender is less well-known for Christmas colors, but I think here it evokes a glittering twilight that speaks of snow and frosty air. 

I made one more card with Modern Heart before I put it away for now. I used the watercolor-look swoosh stamp to make an all-over background in Purple Posy ink, and I like how it added a ton of texture. I used the Purple Posy Stampin' Blends combo pack to highlight the geometric planes of the heart shape. And look how well the new triple purple ribbon goes with all those shades! It ties really nice bows, too.

My last purple project for the weekend... I DO have other things I need to get too....

Since I had the Blends out and a good-sized piece of the copper-dotted goodie bag left, I colored my own background paper Purple Posy. The alcohol ink soaked right through the paper sack material, so if you try this at home, make sure you have paper underneath. Then I stamped and colored the rose (from To A Wild Rose) to coordinate. Sooo pretty!

Fun facts about PURPLE:

• there is one country's flag in the whole world that has purple on it. Dominica has a green and purple parrot in the center.
• Purple Day is March 26th and was created in 2008 to raise awareness for epilepsy. It was chosen because lavender is a traditional herbal remedy for the condition.
• Porphyrophobia is the fear of the color purple.
• Purple dye used to come from the mucous glands of a snail called a murex. The Latin name for murex, purpura, is where we get the term purple.

I hope you enjoyed our purple weekend! You can still get in on the purple care packages through Monday when you order Stampin' Up through my store (click here). The party code is Y4KJ7QN3 and gets entered right before checkout.

The purple package will arrive separately, in the regular mail within a couple of days. Stampin' Up orders will come UPS. Let me know if you have any questions! Thanks so much for participating in the Purple Lover's Party! This was super fun and I hope you come away with bunches of ideas for your purple inks and papers.

more Purple Lovers Party projects!

So my friends are all getting their houses decorated for fall, and I'm over here having a purple party! I don't care what time of year it is, purple is always appropriate. Be sure you don't miss yesterday's Purple Lover's Party post!

Just for fun, I've put together some fall/winter season color combos with purple in them. Enjoy!

Suggested Stampin' Up Color Combos using purples

Purple Posy	Crumb Cake	Pretty Peacock	Seaside Spray
Gorgeous Grape	Bermuda Bay	Pool Party	Purple Posy
Smoky Slate	Highland Heather	Mint Macaron	Shaded Spruce

Purple is one of those chameleon colors that can serve as both a "warm" and a "cool" hue, depending on what is paired with it. Darker purples add a zing of intensity, and light purples have a calming effect. Color is so neat, don't you think?

On to our inspiration projects for the day! I really like this layout because it uses up strips from my scrap bin. The name of the paper pack is Woven Threads. These are four one-inch-wide leftovers from Scrapbooking Summer School, and it's been really fun coming up with uses for 120 of them!

Start with the one on either side, then split the different when adding the two middle strips. Makes for a very interesting, textural background. If you want more ideas for using up little strips and scraps, I have a whole blog category just for that! 

Isn't that rose so pretty? When I was ready to move on from Modern Heart and chose another set to make purple cards with, To A Wild Rose was a no-brainer. It's sooo pretty with the color combo of Gorgeous Grape (outline), Highland Heather (accents) and Purple Posy (base color). I don't use a whole ton of lace on my cards, but I did like the addition of a nice crisp white half-doily that balances the layout.

I felt so clever with my "patterned paper" on these cards... the copper foil pattern is actually a treat bag that I cut apart and used on three different cards. It doesn't show well in the photos, but the copper is subtle and warms up the white. Little trick for ya!

I hope you're really enjoying all this purple! Next post I've got some delightful uses of the Purple Posy Stampin' Blends markers that are going to make you very happy to know about! 

Until then, if you want to get in on the Purple Posy care package, shop here with the party code Y4KJ7QN3 and I'll put your address on one of these adorable purple mailers. Smile when you see it, because there's fun inside! 

Purple Lovers Party projects!

I had so much fun giggling away in my craft room, making all these purple projects! I've got a BUNCH of cute purple cards for your inspiration this weekend to celebrate the return of Purple Posy, our delinquent In Color.

If you missed the commotion, back in May when we Stampin' Up demonstrators got our new Purple Posy ink pads, it became clear that the ink color wasn't "fast"-- it stamped one color, dried another, and then faded to yet another. Stampin' Up immediately acted to make sure that inferior ink pads didn't get in customer hands, so we've been waiting while a new "recipe" was formulated and tested.

We learned all kinds of things about the process along the way--including how seriously Stampin' Up takes ink! But the fifth time was a charm, and dried to the correct color even after baking more than twice as long in the simultated "aging" ovens. Yippee!!

So now it's here, and it's gorgeous! A light, clear lavender with no gray in it, that coordinates perfectly with Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape. Come to momma!

The first thing I wanted to use with Purple Posy was my newest stamp set, Modern Heart. It plays in perfectly with the airy geometrics that are right in style currently. And the sentiments... I would buy this set just for the sentiments!

The internet tells me (so it must be true) that:

• Purple combines the calm stability of blue and the fierce energy of red.
• in Bible times, associated with royalty, nobility, luxury and power because it was so expensive to produce.
• today it represents extravagance, creativity, wisdom, dignity, and grandeur.
• darker shades speak of mystery and magic.
• lighter shades are feminine and calming
• makes people happy! (but you knew that)

I LOVE ombre and I LOVE the watercolor-look swoosh stamp in this set. Be prepared to see a bunch more cards from me with this dark-to-light combo. See, this is why you need all three purple ink pads!

This next card uses just Highland Heather and Purple Posy. Purple all OVER the place!

All right, let's talk about the rest of our weekend! Our Purple Lover's Party goes through Sunday night! If you find yourself in need of some purple (or any other supplies) and shop in my online store with the Purple Party Code ( Y4KJ7QN3 ) I will be sending you a Purple Posy Care Package in a cute purple mailer so you can squeal as soon as you see it in your mailbox. Your order needs to be at least $40 to qualify and it HAS to use the code, so don't forget!

Click here to go shop for goodies! 

And don't forget to take a peek at Modern Heart's cute sentiments. I think you NEED them.

Then be sure to visit again tomorrow and Sunday for more purple inspiration.

My fingers are all inky and I can't wait to show you why!
