Walking on Sunshine

The end of June means that we come to the end of a Design Team term and we are losing a few of our great Design Team Members.  We are so sad to see these Designers leave us: Heidi, Donna, Breelin, Jennifer C., Leanne, Dawn and Kim.  We will miss creating with you and wish you well in all you do!

We are in the heat of summer and that means SUNSHINE!  I have been spending a lot of days at the pool with my kiddos and doing other summer activities outside.  Today a few of our Design Team Members created a little bit of sunshine for you!  Be sure to stop by each of their blogs today to leave them some love.

Anything but a card!

Good Morning Happy Stampers!!

We hope you are thoroughly enjoying this first FULL day of Summer!!  It's hard to believe that June is seriously half over.  Where did the time go?

This just means that it is time for another edition of "not another card."

We asked some of our Designers to come up with some cute and creative items that were not cards.  This time of year we have a LOT of extra parties, showers, weddings, etc... and sometimes a card just doesn't cut it!  And what better way to add some cuteness to a gift or home decor than with your Stampin' Up! products!

Be sure to check out the Designer's blog and see how she created such cuteness!!

There are so many great NEW products in the catalog and a lot of them are made to be used in the Big Shot!  Today our Design Team Members are showing you cards made with their very favorite NEW Big Shot items!

Step it Up!

Hello! Our designers today are sharing not one but two cards with you. Why you ask? Well the first is their basic design then they stepped it up a bit and made the second card a bit more detailed, because sometime you want a card that is a bit quicker to make and sometimes you want to go all out for someone in your life.
