Happy Labor Day! It’s time again for CASE the Catalog Monday.
This week two unused stamp sets on my craft room shelf were used to recreate the card on page 31 in the Annual Catalog. The card features Bella & Friends and the Pretty Kitty stamp sets on page 30. These two stamp sets contain some great sentiments and have perfect images to create cards for all ages – especially for animal lovers too! Check out the details below on how to recreate this card.
Talk about loads of fun…first stamp images with StazOn ink onto Whisper White cardstock (4 -1/4″ x 3″). To color the images, use watercolor pencils and blender pens. The card base is Crumb Cake cardstock and a top piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the Neutrals 6″ x 6″ DSP Collection (5-1/2″ x 4-1/4″). Highlight the stamped and colored image layer by adding a layer of Coastal Cabana cardstock (4-1/2″ x 3-1/4″) . After stamping the sentiment, embellish with a heart from the Frame Elements and a bow of White Baker’s Twine.
Since it was such enjoyment coloring the card, I decided to use another of the images from the Pretty Kitten stamp set. The following card is ready to send to a friend.
First stamp the “peeking in” image with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and color with Stampin’ Blends. Colors are Granny Apple Green, Rich Razzleberry, Smoky Slate, Crumb Cake and Pumpkin Pie. Basic Black cardstock creates the card base and the Share What You Love DSP layer pulls the card together. Using Layering Circles Thinlits, cut the image piece and the layering Basic Black cardstock pieces. Finally, attach to upper portion of card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Tie 1/2″ Black Satin Ribbon around card at seam of DSP to complete the card.
My Challenge to You:
Pull out an unused stamp set and recreate the item that first inspired you to make purchase the set!

Aug 31, 2018 | Bonus Days, Christmas, Color Your Season |
Bonus Days end today. I hope you have had great month earning your coupons for September. Stampin’ Up! had a good idea to make the Bonus Days the month before the Holiday Catalog came out. This way you can utilize the coupons with the Holiday Catalog. You still have some time to earn a $5 Bonus Days coupon for every $50 you spend (before shipping and tax). There is no limit to the amount of coupons you can earn so that means grab them while you can. You can order til 11:50 PM (MT) tonight.
Bonus Days End wtih a Bang
These coupons will come at a great time because as you know, starting next week the Holiday Catalog will be live. There are so many products to choose from in this new catalog. I’m excited to get started on my Halloween projects with the products from the Holiday Catalog. You can shop my online store with your coupons all month long.
Finally, remember that the coupons must be used by September 30th. Therefore, it’s a great way to kick off your holiday shopping with new stamp sets and accessories. As with every new catalog, there are also some new Bundles and Suites to choose from. If you received your catalog already, you know what I’m talking about. The anticipation of the Holiday Catalog always keeps me going and now I am even more excited about using my coupons. Furthermore, the Color Your Season products were an added bonus.
If you have any questions about the Bonus Days, or any of the Stampin’ Up! promotions, please let me know.
