VLOG - It's all about Rainbows!

Hi friends!

It's Video Blog Hop (VLOG) day! The participants in this Global SU Share Fair VLOG Hop are located across the globe. This month our theme is Rainbows. Each of us created a project with a rainbow of Stampin' Up! colors - Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Garden Green, Pacific Point, Rich Razzleberry and Blackberry Bliss.

Rainbow Watercolor Wash Background Technique

My project involves creating a rainbow background featuring a watercolor wash technique using Stampin' Write markers (or reinkers with a Blender Pen). I paired an image from the In the Moment stamp set with a striped pattern from the Sweet Talk designer series paper (DSP) pack that reminded me of rainbow stripes.
In the Moment stamp set #157987


Sweet Talk DSP #157616













I couldn't decided which Sweet Talk DSP pattern I preferred so I made cards using both patterns - one with Highland Heather stripes and the other featuring a variety of colors. Please leave me a comment and tell me which do you prefer.

Shipping & Price Increases - Shop Today and Save!
Shipping and handling pricing - Starting April 1, the minimum shipping charge will increase by $1.00, from $6.95 to $7.95—or by one percentage point, from 10% to 11% of the total order amount—whichever is greater. I want to make sure you’re aware of this change, as it impacts both you and me. Stampin’ Up! is only one of many companies that have had to increase their shipping and handling costs in response to the global supply chain crisis. Stampin’ Up! has worked to keep the increase as minimal as possible so we can continue bringing you the unique, high-quality, and coordinated papercrafting products we love. I appreciate your business, and I’m happy to help you figure out the shipping costs for your order any time you’d like to know before purchasing.

Catalog price increases - The New Annual Catalog will reflect increases of $.50 to $1. Cardstock, DSP, ink pads and blocks will increase $.50; punches and adhesive sheets will increase $1 while ink refills and dimensionals will increase $.25. I'm happy to share with you a more complete list of the items that are affected by the price increase. Just give me a holler.

Paper Pumpkin - Change is Beautiful
Growing through life can also mean growing pains. Whether they’re climbing their career ladder or moving out for the first time—change can be simultaneously thrilling and scary—but isn’t that what makes life beautiful? Because new beginnings, after all, are simply new adventures. Let your loved ones know you’ll be there to support them through all of life’s chapters! The Change is Beautiful kit contains enough supplies to create 9 stunning cards with a unique folding technique to commemorate moments of change. The designs are inspired by the natural cycles of change found in nature. Click here to subscribe by April 10th to receive this all-inclusive kit.

No Backorders
As of December 1st, 2021, Stampin' Up no longer takes backorders. Stampin Up anticipates that this change will be in effect for the foreseeable future. Global supply chain difficulties worsened in 2021, and they’ve culminated in what is now considered a global supply chain crisis affecting businesses worldwide—and Stampin’ Up! is no exception. In September Stampin' Up lowered their backorder thresholds in an effort to address global changes. Industry experts are projecting that the global supply chain crisis is unlikely to improve for some time to come. By eliminating backorders Stampin' Up hopes to eliminate frustration from the unpredictability of product availability, especially when products have been ordered and paid for but are not in stock.

Inspiring Stamping

This is a free perk for my customers and downline - if you have ever ordered from me, you're my customer 🙂. The fun starts Friday evening, April 29th at 8pm EST. I'll give my presentation Saturday. My project will feature either Hand-Penned or Wildlife Wonder stamps. The great thing is you can watch everything on replay! Hit me up today for access to this private group.
  • Bundle Bonus - the March bundle was the Blessings of Home bundle; click here to see my projects and tutorial videos! I'm collaborating with other demonstrators across the globe to share projects using the same product bundles each month. The variety in project ideas will inspire you to create in the comfort of your stamp space. Each participating demonstrator creates 2 projects with video tutorials for each. Purchase the bundle from me and as a bonus from me, you receive a pdf file via email with the project photos and links to all the bundle video tutorials. This program was previously called Suite of the Month. The new name change provides more flexibility in ordering in case you just want the bundle and not all the extra products featured in the suites.
