Washi Tape

Thanks for stopping by today we are featuring an accessory that is both easy to use and  multifunctional, washi tape. Washi tape comes in an assortment of prints, colors and widths, it reminds me of self adhesive designer paper in some ways. Our team of designers used the washi tape as a focal point on their cards today. Each card features the washi tape as a way to highlight the stamped image. Having washi tape in an array of patterns gives each card a special twist. So when you are looking to add just a bit of extra pop to your card reach for the washi tape.

Friday Favorites: Retiring Stamp Set

The new 2017-2018 Annual Catalog from Stampin' Up! is full of fabulous new stamp sets, obviously!  But we are still saying goodbye to some of our favorites on this year's retiring list.  A lot of the fabulous sets from the Occasions Catalog carried over, we still lost a few.  And some great sets from the Annual Catalog also are on their way out.  Today our designers are showing off their favorite retiring stamp set:

Graduation/Congrats Card

It is time for graduations and whether you have a graduate in kindergarten, middle school, high school or college they deserve a handmade card from you. As you check out our cards you might notice how Pamela made her hot air balloon 3D to add extra depth and dimension to the card. Tobe's card is a ray of sunshine with the fun yellow and the butterflies. What graduate wouldn't love these cards on their special day.

Friday Favorites: Retiring Bundle

This is always a bittersweet time of the year for us stampers.  We are so very excited about the new catalog (I have seen it, it is amazing) but we are sad to see some amazing products leave.  Between the Annual Catalog and the Occasions Catalog, Stampin' Up! put out some amazing bundles!  Some products are retiring, and might already be discontinued while others might carry over but will no longer be bundled for additional savings.  Here are some of our favorite retiring bundles:
