Positive Thoughts!

Spring is calling out to me to use fun, bright colors.  This card was created for an ombre effect challenge.  I incorporated the new Pale Papaya “in color” that will be released on May 4th.  What do you think?

Paper & Ribbon Share – Get a Sample of Each New Design

New Product Share

When Stampin’ Up! releases a new catalog, it is filled with new products including Designer Series Paper and Ribbon. If you’re like me, you’ll want them all, but that gets expensive!

Here’s my solution: let’s share the packs of paper and spools of ribbon so we can get a  sampling of each new item! You are bound to love some items more than others and you can always buy more of your favorites later on. But for now, we can try each pattern and color.   Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators can also participate in these product shares.

Here’s how it works:

  • 4 people will share one pack of paper.  There are 16 new gorgeous packs of Designer Series Paper from the 2021-2022 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog. You will receive 60 sheets of 6 x 12 & 40 sheets of 6 X 6. That’s a total of 100 sheets of designer series paper to sample.
  • Email me by May 3rd to be included for the product share that I will order on  May 4th.   Include your name, address, and indicate which share you would like. I will send you a Pay Pal invoice. Don’t use PayPal?  Contact me to arrange alternative payment. Additional product shares will be ordered later providing I have a group of 4 in each share.
  • On May 4th, I will order the products. When the products arrive, I will divide them up, repackage them, and send them off to you.  Or arrange for local pick up.
