Song of My Heart Stampers

Sale-A-Bration 2021 Part Two has begun! Who loves free stuff?

Hip Hip Hooray! It's Sale-A-Bration opening day! Which freebies will you pick first? If you're an old friend of Stampin' Up, you already know what a treat you're in for this month!

If you're new, well honey, grab some coffee and concentrate, because there's a LOT going on and you don't want to miss ANY of it!

During Sale-A-Bration, EVERY $50 or $100 spent earns you a free reward choice from the exclusive Sale-A-Bration rewards brochure. There's 12x12 papers, glimmer cardstock, dies and of course, lots and lots of stamps!

I made this pretty front porch card with the Feels Like Home set--totally free! #156607. I love that it's so detailed that you don't even have to color it in if you don't want to. It makes a lovely monochromatic look!

And there's no limit to how many freebies you can earn--so go ahead and treat yourself to a little party and get the free exclusive hostess set, too! View it here.

Or, treat yourself to the Starter Kit, and start getting the demonstrator discount on everything you personally purchase. We can chat about whether or not you'd enjoy turning it into a little side business, or a full-time career, like me!

Isn't this so pretty? I made it with the Delicate Dahlias stamp set (#156601), which I got free with a $100 order. It is such a cool stamp! I personally think this is the best reward choice in the brochure, but you might prefer one of the gorgeous paper packs, or maybe the blingy glitter cardstock instead! Did I mention the sheep stamp set and matching dies? Yes, SHEEP! They're too cute.

I love that there's freebie choices to suit every style! So enjoy Sale-A-Bration 2021 (part two!) and drop me a line if you have any questions. I can also pop a catalog in the mail for you, if online browsing's not your thing! Lyssa@songofmyheartstampers.com

Happy freebie-picking-out-ing!

31 Pages in 31 Days is coming in August! 2021

August means scrapbooking month here at Song of My Heart Stampers, and my annual blog series, 31 Pages in 31 Days! I have been running it for EIGHT years straight and made hundreds of pages during a single month of the year. It's called immersion scrapbooking (more on that later) and it works for me!

If you're an old friend of Song of My Heart, you know this month is going to be fun! And if you're a newbie, you're in for a treat.

Each day during August I share a single or double-page 12x12 layout for your inspiration. My background in graphic design and layout allows me to share unique tips to help you up your own scrapbooking game as well as seeing new products and trends in action.

And of course... there are giveaways! I have been saving up paper packs, past Suite Samplers, new Holiday mini catalog goodies and more for our prizes. We're going to have so much FUN this month!

Pretty patterned papers on sale in July!

Ready to party with some patterned paper? Me too! I love how quick it makes cardmaking. And the gorgeous designs from Stampin' Up are super inspiring to me--sometimes they even make me want to hand-cut stuff!

All during July I'll be sharing ideas for using up your stash-

--so you can buy the new stacks without guilt!

Here's the skinny on the sale:

• There are NO LIMITS to how many packs you can order
• NO CODE is necessary to get the discounted price

What I made with my June 2021 Suite Sampler Box!

I had so much fun this month with the June 2021 Suite Sampler, featuring the Expressions in Ink suite from the new Stampin' Up main catalog! Those of you who subscribed will be just as enchanted as I was with all the gorgeous paper patterns in this pack. The gold veins and leafing just take everything to a whole 'nother level!

I made eight scrapbook pages plus 12 cards with my box this month--can't wait to see what you make with yours!

For access to the full Suite Sampler gallery plus samples uploaded by subscribers each month, click here (it's a free private Facebook group!) Click on Albums, and you'll see two new albums each month. One for scrapbooking fans, and one for cardmakers!

I hear you asking....

What on earth is a Suite Sampler subscription box? Well, basically, I do a little shopping for you! I put together a generous, color-coordinated sampling of products including papers, cardstock, trims and embellishments based around one of Stampin' Up's suites, and mail it to you Priority Mail by the 15th of each month. I work hard on these boxes-- I want you to say WOW--every month!

Each month I use the box contents to create about 15 projects, both cards and pages, to show what you can do with yours! There are no stamps or ink included, so you can either work with what you already own, or decide if you want to purchase the coordinating stamp set and/or dies to go with it all. The flexibility stays in YOUR hands!

The Suite Sampler is NOT A KIT-- your box will be FULL of fun parts and pieces that match with the style and colors of the patterned papers, plus FULL sheets of 12x12 and 8.5 x 11 to coordinate. You can use my inspiration samples as a guide, or set out on your own and see where the mojo takes you!

My Suite Samplers save you TONS of money--because you won't have to purchase full packs of anything in order to try it all! You'll get to enjoy trying out all sorts of suites without a massive investment--and you'll LOVE the shot of mojo every month that a brand new box of irresistibly pretty papers and colors will give you.

Here's a sneak peek of SOME of what is in the June 2021 box!

***Please note this is the Expressions in Ink June 2021 Box. If you are viewing this post after June 10th, your subscription will begin with July's box which is themed around the new Hand-Penned Petals suite from the NEW 2021-22 Stampin' Up Catalog!***

• 1/2 pack of Expressions in Ink 12x12 patterned papers

Too busy for a party right now? Get these hostess exclusives without actually hosting!

Too busy for a party right now?

Me, too! But we can still get the exclusive host reward stamps we have our eyes on!

Just use the code B4WJG37Q when you order $75+ before shipping and handling from Shop with Lyssa  now through June 14th, and let me know which host reward set you want me to mail you for free!

Current Hostess Set Choices:

Prince & Princess Host Photopolymer Stamp Set

(main catalog)

[155787]

value $10.00

Better Places Host Cling Stamp Set

(main catalog)

[155858]

value $12.00

Natural Textures Host Cling Stamp Set (main catalog)

[155637]

value $13.00

Suite Sampler (selection of additional images from the spring mini) Host Cling Stamp Set

[154547]

value $12.50

The host rewards choices in the new main catalog are AWESOME this year! In my opinion they are must-haves!

How can this possibly work?!

By pooling our orders under one hostess code in my name, I accrue host dollars with which to purchase hostess sets. You order and let me know which one you want as your freebie. Shipping them to me is free because they're a hostess item. Then, shipping them out to you individually at the end of the month is my thank you to you for placing an order with me.

Here's the fine print!

• This is my own special, independent of any other demonstrator or company offer.
• You can only use one code at a time when ordering.
• Please double-check that you order total BEFORE shipping and tax equals $75+.
• Offer ends at midnight on June 14th, 2021.
• The free host set will come directly from me, in the mail, mid-June.

Here's the link!

Place your $75+ order now, enjoy your new toys when then come--and look forward to playing with your new set coming by mail--all without having to host, clean your house, bug your friends to attend, or find something to entertain the kids that night.

Just don't forget to enter the code B4WJG37Q--and then email me with your host stamp set choice!

Got an order larger than $150? Go ahead and place it without my code, and and be your own hostess. Just don't forget to purchase the set(s) you wanted with your host dollars at the end!  Then you don't have to wait for me to mail it at the end of the month, either.

If you've got questions about this special, please ask! I love to talk shop. Lyssa@songofmyheartstampers.com

Butterfly Brilliance bundle is a sneak peek of spring!

Prepare yourself for a burst of butterflies with the Butterfly Brilliance bundle! Create stunning projects for birthdays, Easter, Mother's Day, spring weddings, and more. Stampin' Up is giving us a sneak peek and a chance to order this amazing new bundle that will be in the NEXT main catalog! If your butterfly set is well-used and a little tired, let's upgrade to  one that will get your mojo flowing again!

The REALLY cool thing about this new bundle is that it not only cuts out all the butterfly from the stamped image, it also has detailed layering dies for all of the  butterflies. So you can use them plain (stamped), die-cut all together, or die-cut individually with or without details. Wow! That's four ways to get completely different looks.

I especially love the beautiful aquas, pinks and yellows in the watercolor-look Butterfly Bijou patterned paper. And the super-thin wood papers are going to be an awesome addition to my nature and masculine theme cards, too.

Penni & Lyssa's Creepy Crafty Adventures are back!

I wasn't sure we'd be able to pull it off this year with everything going on, but my Halloween baby BFF Penni and I are back again with another blog series for quick and cute October 31st gifties and cards for you!

Be sure to take a stroll through past years' projects for all kinds of ideas for kids' parties, paper wreaths, spooky banners and LOTS of sweets!

Start here: 2019 Best Ever Monster Bash

2018 Eeeky Epic Adventure 

2017 Not-So-Spooky Halloween Adventure

2016  Excellent Halloween Adventure

Our first project HAD to use the adorably cute mini coffee cups and carrier from the 2020 Holiday mini catalog. it is just too much fun to personalize these kraft paper carriers and real cups with lids. Fill with candy, drink mix, or gift cards!

I can't wait to make these for all my kids' teachers for the holidays this year. They LOVE seeing what I came up with so I always try to top it! This should definitely do it.

Get the Goods:

• Mini Coffee Carrier [153508] $5.00
• Mini Coffee Cups [153493] $7.50
• Warm Wraps Dies [153521] $35.00

Next up for Day One, we have a fun fancy fold! This card is so easy to make, you'll find yourself looking for more papers to cut up!

Start with a 5.25 inch by 12 inch piece of double-sided paper (Penni and I used Magic in this Night papers on most of our projects for this series). Score at 3.75 and 7.75 on the long side. Fold into a tri-fold card and add a piece of plain white on the inside to write on.

Decorate the outside as desired. Close with a gold paper clip for something different. Fits inside a regular A-2 medium envelope, bonus! but if you're hand-delivering, you don't even need an envelope for this one, which is fun and unique (and a money-saver!)

Get the Goods:

• Magic In This Night Designer Series Paper [153517] $11.50
• Simply Scored [122334] $30.00
• Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad [132708] $6.00

Our last project for today is a TEASE!!!

We're going to make this tiny treat tote live on Facebook for tomorrow's post--have a piece of 6x6 paper handy to make it along with me. Once you've learned the trick, you won't ever forget it!

Be sure to like and subscribe to Song of My Heart on Facebook so you get notifications when I'm demonstrating live. And if you don't happen to be online at the moment, it will let you know there's a video saved to watch later.

All right, one more thing before I let you go today: Penni and I are holding a Mystery Hostess Party!

Place a Stampin Up order with me using the code: AMKYN4PY during this week's blog series, and we'll draw one name at random to win the hostess benefits plus some of the projects from the photos. Everyone else who participates will receive a handmade Halloween card in the mail and a free month of My Layout Library! Offer open to US residents only, sorry.

See you tomorrow for Day Two of our Creepy Crafty Halloween Adventure!

Scrapbooking Summer School peeks

We've been having a ball in Scrapbooking Summer School this month! I can't believe it's over tomorrow. Here's some quick pics of some of the layout kits we've been putting together with live walkthroughs sharing design tips, color combining help, and cutting hints.

I've so enjoyed my "students"... even the ones who didn't get their "homework" done on time! It's been really fun to see how they've adapted the layouts to their personal needs, and what they thought were the most helpful tricks we learned. I'm already looking forward to next year!

I hope you'll consider joining us next year--be sure subscribe to my weekly newsletter so you don't miss any events! And when registration opens, move quickly, because it always sells out fast.

I hope you've gotten some ideas just from this quick peek of some of our pages! Happy scrapping!

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!

• 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!

31 Pages in 31 Days: grab your flip flops!

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.

NOTE: if you are looking for the swag bag information originally shared on this post, I have removed it because they all sold out! Thanks to everybody for trusting me to put together a bag that will knock your socks off : )

See you tomorrow for Day Four of 31 Pages in 31 Days!

Catalog walk thru with stamping sprinkled in!

Did you miss my all-day LIVE walk-through the new Stampin' Up catalog? That's ok! You can still grab your new book and curl up with your phone as we walk through the catalog from cover to cover, pausing to stamp and chat along the way!

All five sessions recorded LIVE on Facebook on Friday, June 5th, are available to watch at leisure on Song of My Heart's Facebook fan page.

I'm posting some of the things we made that day here so you can view them up close a little better. Be sure to pin any ideas or layouts you want to save for later!

Here's some highlights from our five sessions that day.

We learned to use the new Lovely Labels Pick a Punch, which makes six different tags sizes in two different designs. So fun! Then we recreated the sample card from page 22, in a gorgeous color combo of Night of Navy, Bumble Bee, Gray Granite and Petal Pink. There are so many fun new color combos in this catalog!

This adorable baby card from page 47 was a blast to make by first watercoloring, then tinting our embossing paste for a really cool, textural background. It was supposed to have glitter mixed in, but I forgot! Oopsie! I love the mix of easy samples for beginners and those of us in a hurry--and plenty of more advanced cards with lots of details.

We also talked about how to spot versatile layouts throughout the catalog that will work with lots of different stamp sets. We made the cute card on page 55 after breaking down the layout and color combo. I don't have Zoo Globe (yet) but we made do with Inspiring Iris.

We walked through making this Ornate Frames card while discussing the TWO brand new Stampin' Up die-cutting and embossing machines that are coming out this fall! We can't wait!! We dubbed them the Big Mama and the Baby Mini : ) Stay tuned for a date, coming soon!

One of our last projects during the walk through was this Tasteful Touches card. I don't think this stamp is a capable of making a bad card! And all it is is Night of Navy cardstock and ink, and Very Vanilla cardstock. It doesn't get any less expensive than that to make your own cards at home. WOW!

After we got through the entire catalog start to finish in three sessions, we ended the day with a recap of all the basic techniques featured in the book (shared in another post), and then a relaxing session of stamping with one of my new favorite bundles. You'll have to watch the final session to see what it is!

Thanks for sharing in my fun--it's SO MUCH MORE FUN to look at the catalog with a friend!

And don't forget, if you need a demonstrator, I would LOVE to be yours! Drop me an email to get your free copy of the new Stampin' Up catalog (started June 3rd!) and hop on my emailing list here. Chat soon!
