There is no Graduation set in the new catalog - so you might want to pick up this set before it retired.  Great Grads can be ordered at www.kwstamps.stampinup.net or by contacting me.  This card from earlier in my blog has a little pocket where you can tuck a gift card or cash.  More accessories are running out of stock.  You can check out the updated list by scrolling down.

I have updated the list below.  Order soon at www.kwstamps.stampinup.net as some of the reinkers and designer papers are running out of stock.

I would like to feature some Last Chance stamp sets before I start with my Sneak Peak projects.  There are a bunch of great sets retiring that you might want to pick up before they are gone.  My club members get an extra 10% off retiring stamp sets for our June order.  If you are in the Erie area, you might want to contact me for details about my stamp clubs - you get your supplies on a budget and get lots of free stuff too!   I am taking reservations all month, and we start in July with the new catalog.   And if your and your friends last chance wish list is long, remember there are extra host benefits for June at the $250 and $400 level.

 Here is a card from my blog archives that I made with Doodle This using the Faux Cloisonne Technique.  I embossed in gold on both Black cardstock and on a glossy magazine page.  Then cut and adhered the magazine petals to the black cardstock.  Doodle This is a real favorite.  I see lots of requests for the retired Doodle Alphabet and Doodle This stamp Set, so you might want to pick up this set before it retires and is hard to find at a good price.

The WICKED challenge is a monthly Stampin’ Up! challenge for demos only on www.splitcoaststampers.com  Here are my entries for June using the Wonderful Watercolors stamp set and some retiring IN COLORS.

I also posted a photo of all my fun stuff (note the new IN COLORS) that came yesterday - all at a great discount!  It’s not too late to sign up to be a demo and take advantage of the extra discount for preorders.  Details at www.kwstamps.stampinup.net   There’s also a new video tutorial up on my website for the Big Shot matchbox die.   And yes, we are allowed to share information online only about preorder products  - that is why my NEW CATALOG is X’d out :)  If you are in the Erie, PA area, contact me to see the new catalog or find out about our big annual demo garage sale.

MY PREORDER COMES TODAY - STOP BY LATER FOR A PHOTO!

Here is a card I CASED from heartfelt inkspiration using the Sense of Time stamp set.  I liked the idea of placing the window sheet on top of the 3 squares and attaching it with a jumbo eyelet.  I also stamped on the sheet with white Stazon.  BTW, the white Stazon refill is 50% off on the discontinued accessory list, so you might want to pick some up.  You can order on line at www.kwstamps.stampinup.net or contact me.  I will be placing an order today.  Don’t delay, there are already items that have run out of stock.  I will keep the list below updated daily.

This new technique was demonstrated at a recent Stampin’ Up! Regional Conference.  Going to SU events is another great reason to become a demonstrator.  For this technique you emboss in white on shimmery white cardstock.  After heavily spritzing the paper with water, you dab reinker into the puddles with your aquapainter.  It’s fun to watch the colors spread around.  here I used Pretty in Pink and Rose Red.  The stamp set is 5th Avenue Floral.  The first background is a Texturz plate and the second is the Manhattan Rose Embossing template - both SU exclusive for the Big Shot - order at www.kwstamps.stampinup.net for the best pricing.  The demonstrator starter kit can also be ordered online.

Only 3 days left to purchase designer papers and the scrapbooking demonstrator kit on sale.  This card uses the idea of paper weaving from our demonstrator magazine.  I used the Walk in the Park Designer Series Paper and the Great Friend Stamp Set.  The bottom butterfly is a Big Shot Die (SU exclusive).  I think I will enter a variation of this card into the monthly demonstrator contest.  Winners get free stamp sets!  Ordering the kit or products is easy at www.kwstamps.stampinup.net
