 Hi Stampers.  I have some fun new products to share with you.  The Butterfly Brilliance bundle is a pre-release from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog that comes out in May.  In addition, they have a 6" x 6" stack of Designer Series Paper and some 12" x 12" Specialty Paper that is only available during this promotion - WHILE SUPPLIES LAST.

 


 
 

Prepare yourself for a burst of butterflies with the Butterfly Brilliance Background Stamp. Use this stamp to create projects for Mother's Day, weddings, and more. Pair this stamp with greetings of your choice to customize it for the season or occasion. Stamp the line-art image and add color with your choice of coloring technique, or apply different colors of ink to the stamp before stamping to create a unique look. Whatever you do with it, the results will be glorious.  (1 cling stamp)

 
 

Create beautifully detailed butterflies for all of your paper crafting projects with the Brilliant Wings Dies. Once you've cut out a swarm of butterflies, you can create a background, make a focal point, or use them as accents. There's so much you can do. Start now!

 
Save 10% by buying the Butterfly Brillance stamp set and the Brilliant Wings Dies as a bundle. 

 
Some people call a group of butterflies a kaleidoscope, and that's what you'll get with the Butterfly Bijou 6" x 6" (15.2 x 15.2 cm) Designer Series Paper. Choose from glorious butterfly patterns in shades of aqua, pink, and yellow or watercolored patterns that coordinate beautifully. You can't go wrong with these unforgettable patterns.  This gorgeous paper is a limited release - so don't miss out.

Add lovely texture to your creations with the Natural Touch Specialty Paper. The pale woodgrain is versatile enough for any project and any time of year. You can stamp on it, emboss it, and use it with dies. Use large pieces of it as a background or cut out pieces to use as accents.

 
Doesn't this collection look beautiful together?  Instead of ordering each product individually, get the Butterfly Brilliance collection. You’ll get one of each product at the best price. 

Includes the Butterfly Brilliance Bundle, the Butterfly Bijou Designer Series Paper and the Natural Touch Specialty Paper. 

Available only during the Butterfly Bouquet promotion and while supplies last.

All Occasion Stamp A Stack
To Go Class 

Well, it’s February and COVID is still here.   However, I am hopeful that since we have vaccines, the numbers will continue to decline as the vaccine rolls out.  I am optimistic that things will get better and we will gather in person soon. 

Hopefully soon, we can resume in person classes in my home. With that being said, and per your requests, I am offering another TO GO Class to keep us stamping in the meantime. 

As always, the projects will be a surprise, and I’m sure you’ll have fun with this Stamp a Stack of all Occasion Cards. Here’s a sneak peek of a card and some of the supplies included in the class:

This little machine is the BOMB!  I didn't think I needed it because I have the big one. 
I WAS WRONG!   I absolutely love it.  It works with most of our dies and it's so handy to have sitting right beside you when you are crafting.  It's small and light and it works great.
 You will love it!  I sure do :)

Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine Now Available

This wonderful machine is available for purchase now!  I thought I didn't need a new machine, but I was SO wrong!  I love the way this one cuts and embosses.  Easy to use, light weight, compact and it works great! I'm so glad I decided to upgrade.


CLICK HERE to go to my online store and purchase your very own Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine!

 


 

Magnetic Base Plate



The new Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine has an optional Magnetic Cutting Plate that I highly recommend.  Magnetic Cutting Plate (Plate 5) holds dies securely in place, even nested dies. This slim, portable sheet replaces a Cutting Plate in your sandwich, making it even easier to take with you. Use with the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Thin, fully magnetic sheet with self-healing cutting surface.
