New at SU! – Trucking Along with Sunny Thoughts

July 19, 2023July 20, 20238 Comments

Did you know there are products online that aren’t in the Stampin’ Up! catalog? The New at SU! Design Team wants to make sure you know how AWESOME our Online Exclusive products are!

Occasionally we get a product that we know will be a runaway hit…and the Trucking Along Bundle was one of those which sold out the first stock in just a few days, then AGAIN just this week you snagged up all the punches we had in the Utah warehouse! The stamp set is still available in the U.S. market, and the TRUCK BUILDER PUNCH has been reordered (though it’s coming from overseas, so it may take up to 90 days…). Thanks for being patient while we restock.

The photopolymer stamp set + coordinating punch covers everything from Summer to Christmas, and really delivers crafting happiness:

For my card, I used an inch and a half of a paper straw glued to the back of the truck and slightly flattened out (which is why it has to be paper, and really a much better use for a paper straw than drinking….) to slide along the linen thread! You may want to use two layers of Thick Basic White card stock to make the truck heavy enough to slide easily, or use a mini glue dot to attach a penny to the back of the truck.

The pickup is packed for a beach adventure and the sun is radiating! You’ll have a load of fun making it slide back and forth along the linen twine. I’d love to hear your thoughts about this card!

While some products will stay a while in the Online Exclusive section of our Stampin’ Store, some may be LIMITED to the supply on hand, and supplies in each market may vary. New Online Exclusive products will be introduced in MARCH, JULY and NOVEMBER. You’ll want to visit all the other posts in the July New at SU! Blog Hop and **SAVE** your favorites to CASE (copy) later!

The Recipe for Embossing Folder Sandwiches

July 10, 2023July 10, 2023Leave a comment

You may not have a preference for how your sandwiches are cut, but there is a CORRECT way to layer the “sandwich” for using embossing folders on your Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine 🥪

Stampin’ Up! has three styles of embossing folders: Standard (approx. 1/16″ wide), 3D (approx. 1/8″ wide) and Hybrid (similar to 3D and will have a coordinating die to insert as desired). Each type of folder has a “Recipe” for successful texturizing, and if you forget, it’s PRINTED on the base plate/platform #1

Today’s LIVE video teaches the tips and tricks to remember for successful embossing:

Because there are NEW items in the Online Exclusive section of my Stampin’ Store (some are being restocked as quickly as possible!), I am showcasing the 3-D Basics trio of embossing folders, starting with the 3-D Floral:

I lightly pulled/tapped my Petal Pink ink pad across the embossed layer to help the flowers POP and the other supplies are listed below. The Radiating Stitches Dies (which is what I used for the frame) are also part of the Online Exclusives!

Come back over the next few days to see all the cards, and remember it’s BONUS DAYS in July, so for each $50 spent before 7/31, you earn a $5 coupon to redeem in August!

Marching In with New Craftivity ONLINE

March 1, 2023Leave a comment

The start of a new month is like a breath of fresh air: It feels like new opportunities and endless possibilities. Welcome, March…I am feeling rejuvenated!

Much like opening a box…even when you know what you ordered…it is exciting to add something fresh or new to your crafting space! My teammate Sue gave me a new brand mascot for my Creative Juice Stamping Studio and it sits next to a sign Kristi (another Sprinkled Ink team member) gifted me: they make me smile (:

Something else to give fresh air to your creativity:

NEW Online Exclusive Products in my Stampin’ Store!

Take a moment and look through the offerings…you will find many new items, like the Hello, Irresistible Suite (above) or the Rhino Ready Bundle:

AND you may see some returning classics…like large CIRCLE PUNCHES!!!

I can’t tell you how often I’ve reached for my 2″ and 1-3/4″ circle punches in the past year, but haven’t been able to use them because they weren’t available. Now they are back, and no craft room should be without them!

As you browse through the 3 pages of new products online, think about what March events you need to craft for: Birthdays? Easter? If you need an excuse, let’s plan a Crafty Potluck lunch with your friends: Ya’ll bring the food and I’ll bring the fun!
