Stampin' Up! Snow is Glistening and Snowfall Thinlits DIes


  • Stampin' Up! Snowflake Showcase
  • Snowfall Thinlits Dies
  • Craft fun during the holidays stress-free with a Paper Pumpkin Kit

Stampin' Up! Merry Christmas To All 


I'm frantically trying to wrap up all my activities before joining my fellow demonstrators in Orlando for the 30th Anniversary of Stampin' Up! Celebration.  I always dreamt that once I was retired I would have plenty of time to make swaps, arrange for sight seeing in the city where Stampin' Up! On Stage events were held, plus leave my home in a state of calm organization.  

We'll, that ain't happening.    I'm still working on swaps, I still haven't decided which Orlando sites I want to see, and my closet, my office, and my craft room look like a tornado hit them! So today when I realized the day was almost over, I literally grabbed a few scraps and put together this cute card.  The Snow is Glistening Stamp set and the Snowfall Thinlits were sitting out on my desk and I think I broke a record in how little time it took me to make today's card --  a testament to how easy this set is to use!   I didn't even really think about the design.  I just grabbed what was handy, stamped, embossed, die cut, glued, and I was done.         

  



I love the beautiful cards you can create so quickly with this special, limited time Snowflake Showcase set.  Today's card has a basecard of Crumb Cake cardstock.  Then a layer of Whisper White.  Then another layer of Crumb Cake.  I used one of the snowfall stamps from the Snow is Glistening Stamp Set to create a White Embossed background for the Whisper White Snowflake.  

Then I stamped one of sentiments from the Snow is Glistening Stamp Set and white heat embossed it at the bottom of the smaller Crumb Cake layer.  

   




Then I used the Snowfall thinlit Dies and die cut the largest snowflake from Winter White, and one of the small snowflakes from Crumb Cake Cardstock.

The large, white snowflake is attached with a couple of Dimensionals.  The small, Crumb Cake snowflake is attached with a glue dot.  If you need a fast, easy card for the Holidays, get the Snow is Glistening Stamp set and the coordinating Snowfall thinlit Dies before they are gone.  They are only available until November 30 or until they sell out.  Don't delay! 






   
Fine these sets and dies on my Stampin' Up Store, and other holiday and dies in the  Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog.  Order your holiday stamp sets and dies soon so you'll have them in plenty of time to create your handmade holiday cards.

Stampin' Up! Snowflake Showcase Live for Customers

  • Getting ready for Orlando On Stage and SU 30th Anniversary
  • Stampin' Up! Snowflake Showcase Live for Customers
  • Final few days to order Holiday Paper Pumpkin Kit

Looking forward to Stampin' Up! On Stage 


Where have I been?  What am I doing?  I'm preparing for On Stage in Orlando, which means I'm busy, busy, busy making card swaps and working with some of my less-used stamp sets in anticipation of the new stamp sets for Sale-A-Bration and the Occasion catalog coming out in early 2019.

I'm always excited to spend a few days with my fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrators, and this year will be exceptionally exciting as it will be a celebration of Stampin' Up! 30th year in business.  That usually means even more special gifts for demonstrators attending On Stage.






Here's a peek at a couple of work-n-progress centers I have set up to work on swaps.  I'm participating in both organized swaps as well as general / open swapping which happens not only at the convention center, but at the airport waiting to board the plan, in the shuttle service to the hotel, in hotel lobbies, and during breaks between classes during the Convention.          

  



I'll share the cards after the swaps in Orlando are complete.


Stampin' Up! Snowflake Showcase 


November 1, 2108 is the release of the Snowflake Showcase, only available for a limited time.  That means these products are only available while supplies last or until until November 30 2018, which ever comes first.




Projects made with the Stampin' Up!  Snowflake Showcase Products, A limited-time Suite 

  

I've been playing with these sets and I've fallen in love with the snowflake dies, called Snowfall Thinlits. The Snowflake Showcase Suite includes two stamp sets, coordinating dies, White Velvet Paper, and Snowflake trinkets.  This die set includes dies that coordinate with both of the stamp sets -- snowflakes that coordinate with the Snow is Glistening Stamp set and flowers and leaves that coordinate with Happiness Surrounds Stamp Set.    Here are the items in the suite.
