Throwback Thursday - Journals with lots of Wow!

Hello friends,

Throwback Thursday....post from 2011! My daughter's friend recently asked for an autograph book for her kids to take to Disney World 😊

My stamping club will be making journals at our first club meeting in January. These journals can be used for anything---notes to yourself, shopping lists, favorite thoughts, things to do, quotes, event planning, vacation memories, etc.

Over the summer I saw a composition book someone had altered and made into a journal. I became obsessed and had to make one! My first attempt looked like this ...

Then I made journals for my friends....I forgot to take photos once they were finished but you get the idea from these work-in-progress photos below.

Before our Disney vacation, I made these autograph books with smaller composition books...like I said I was obsessed!

My friend Susan made a bunch in December---gifts for her daughter's colleagues and her granddaughters asked to have one. They are fabulous! She gave me permission to share the photos of the journals on my blog. I hope they inspire you. Enjoy!

Stamping is fun!

Retiring lists released today, don't miss out!

Hi friends!

They're here! The retiring lists for both the annual catalog and the mini catalog are now available. And, although we have to say good bye to some favorites, some retiring products are discounted -- and I love a bargain!

Sadly, while the retiring stamps are guaranteed to be available through May 22, all other items, due to high demand and limited supply, are only available while supplies last. Shop now and don't miss out!

You may note the Stampin Blends markers are on the list - they are NOT retiring, only their packaging is retiring! However, in the new catalog they will only be sold in combo sets of light and dark. Now (today!) would be a good time to buy any single Blends markers, to complement any singles you have 🙂

The April host code is JDPN2HAA.

The links to both retiring lists are below; if you would like the excel versions, contact me and I'll email it directly to you.

I've started a private Facebook group, Stamping is Fun, for my customers. I'm learning in public as I share stamping projects via live videos. I'd love to have you join the group--and your inky friends!--and share the stamping fun. Hit me up or request to join. Find me on Facebook as Terri Kerfoot Stewart.

Speaking of Facebook Live, I've jumped in with both feet and will be presenting my own live project during an all-day Facebook stamp camp this Saturday, April 25th at 4:30pm. (Click here to see my blog post with details) Me and 15 other demos from around the world (!) are presenting stamping projects that our customers can stamp along with. Watch live or on replay, whatever works for your schedule. Find me on Facebook and request to be added to the group or request to join the Global SU Share Fair group. And tell your inky friends! I can only add my customers and downline, no other demos, sorry.

I'm happy to answer any questions you may have, just give me a holler.

Stamping is fun!

Card Blitz - No Matter the Weather Paper Pumpkin kit

Hi friends!

My card blitz included full size and note cards I made using items from the March 2020 Paper Pumpkin kit. Paper Pumpkin kits are amazing! In addition to the 12 note card fixings that were included in the kit, I was able to make to make several full size and even more note cards. This kit went a long way!

Paper Pumpkin can get you quickly on the road to your own card blitz. Click here for more information about these great kits. I'd love to help you plan and create a card blitz of your own. Contact me today!

These are the note cards I put together using the March kit.

Card Blitz - Everything is Rosy with foil edged cards

Hi friends!

Today I'm sharing more cards I made and sent for the card blitz I created. I sent full-sized cards to my family, friends, and customers that include a smaller note card inside for them to mail to someone they care about. Those blog posts are here and here.

I used the Everything is Rosy medley (available on the clearance rack at fabulous discount, while supplies last!) pairing the medley pieces with gold foil edged card bases -- even their accompanying envelopes are foil edged.

The medley coordinates with Melon Mambo and Night of Navy and makes wonderful cards that are easy to pull together since the medley includes designers series paper (DSP), ribbon, coordinating tags, and stamps -- and much more!

I used some odds and ends to create this note card....

The note card came printed with a water color wash in Old Olive. I added a piece of Best Dressed DSP, ribbon, an everyday label punch with a greeting from the retired Incredible Like You stamp set, and retired candy dots. And there you go, a simple, cheery card!

I'd love to help you plan and create your own card blitz. Contact me today!
