04.29.22…..Happy Thursday, my stampin’ friends! While I’m super excited for all of the new, amazing products in the upcoming Stampin’ Up! 2022-2023 Annual Catalog, the sales period for Stampin’ Up! 2021-2022 Annual Catalog will be ending in just a few short days…..on May 2, 2022. So many wonderful products are retiring, and I thought I squeeze in a few more projects with some of my favs…..the Pierced Blooms Dies, Fancy Tag Topper Punch, Genial Gems, and the Macrame 3D Embossing Folder!

If there’s anything still on your wish list from the 2021-2022 catalog, you’ll want to place your order now!

04.18.22…..Happy Monday, my stampin’ friends! Today, I wanted to share a card that I created for this month’s Stampin’ Fancy Friday challenge! It’s a “Case a Fancy Friend” challenge! This means that when you see a card and are so inspired by it…then you copy it (or selective copy) and share what you create! We each chose one of our Stampin’ Fancy Friday team members, and “cased” one of their cards. How much fun is that??? That being said, I decided to choose the amazing @zsuzsanna_balazs!

Be sure to join us to see what our Stampin’ Fancy Friday team created and just who on the team they CASEd! We have 27 projects to share, and each one is AMAZING!!!

Then…..when you CASE one of our SFF teammates, share your project on IG or FB and tag us by using #stampinfancyfriday or #fancyfridaychallenges in your post. We will share in our stories to inspire others as well!
