Stampin' Up!'s Bow Builder Punch Definitely a Favorite

I will have to say that one of my absolute favorites from this years Occasions Catalog has to be the new Bow Builder punch that Stampin' Up! has to offer.  Skip the store and make your own tiny bows with just one punch.   Choose your paper, punch, and adhere (mini glue dots work the best to adhere it together).  DONE!  Finished bows size: 2-1/4" x 7/8"  Check out the video below to see just how easy it is to use. Click on the pictures above to order your very own Bow Builder Punch.

Bye Bye 2013-2015 Stampin' Up! In Colors :(

The Retirement List will be released on April 21...that's this Tuesday! We never know what stamps, tools and accessories Stampin' Up! will be retiring each year, but one thing we do know is that one batch of In Colors will be disappearing. This year, we say goodbye to Baked Brown Sugar, Coastal Cabana, Crisp Cantaloupe, Pistachio Pudding and Strawberry Slush.

I am definitely going to miss the beautiful Coastal Cabana.  I have a secret stash built up as I want to keep this color handy for quite some time. 

If you are like me and really love any of these colors I'd recommend stocking up on your favorites now, before the list is released. These always sell out quickly, particularly the ink refills and card-stock. They have been known to sell out the first day of the retirement listing.  You can click on the picture above or the link below to go directly to my store.

Thank You Money Holder

This is a card I have made for the administrative assistants in my office for Assistants Day this Wednesday. I love the color combo of Gumball Green, Melon Mambo, and So Saffron.  IT will surely brighten their day  and make them feel special.  Don't know what I would do without my coworkers.  They are a great group!!
