Out of Quarantine, New Catalog Is Out Too

Out of Quarantine

and

The New 2020-2021 Catalog Is Out!

 

Can it be true? Yes, it’s true! we can finally start inching out a little bit and enjoy ourselves in the beautiful sunshine. While we’re not completely out of the woods yet, the Coronavirus (COVID-19) is finally under a good control and very few new cases have been added since mid March. If all of us continue doing our part, we will be continuing to help control the virus.  It definitely hit some harder than others, but hard nonetheless.

We’ve changed the way we do things all the way from the way we eat, shop, work, play, dress, socialize and entertain ourselves.  We went from eating out, to cooking at home (my son learned how to use an InstaPot), shopping the malls to shopping online, working in the office to woking at home, going to movie theaters to streaming movies online. We’ve gone from going to sports to watching old games online, we’ve gone from gathering in large crowds like weddings (my son’s wedding postponed until next summer) funerals, parties, graduations to drive by celebrations and we’ve added a new fashion statement to our wardrobe, the “Mask”. Instead of asking what are you wearing tonight, we’re going to ask which mask are you wearing with your new dress?”

How has all this changed your life? Each one of us has our story albeit happy, sad, or everything in between.  All I can say is I’m still here supporting you, helping to keep you up to date with your very special hobby and love of paper crafting.  There has never been a better time than now that we can all use receiving a special card in the mail or send a beautiful card to a loved one that we haven’t been able to see for 3 months.  I’m sure that each one of us has someone in our lives that will be quarantined much longer than the average person. Let’s show them some love, the elderly and more mature. Let’s take advantage of this “down” time to create beautiful projects and not let our minds remain idle, but to use them to create good and send love. Take the time to send someone you love something from the heart that can never be taken from them, a paper hug and a written note of love, inspiration and hope.  We’re almost done, just a little longer and we’ll all be stronger.

 

2020-2021 Annual Catalog

 

Isn’t she lovely? Isn’t she beautiful? Of course I’m referring to the new 2020-2021 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog.  If you haven’t gotten your copy, let me know and I’ll get one to you right away.  I never know where to start when looking at it.  Do I start in the back and go toward the front? Do I start in the front and move to the back? Do I start in the middle and go to the front, then go back to the middle and go toward the back?  I bet you thought there was just one way, right? Well, leave it to me to mix it up a bit!

I’m going to just put it out there right here and now that I’m completely in LOVE with the Peony Garden Suite. I’ve always loved Peonies. They look so fresh, they’re fluffy and while they look very elegant, they can also look very Victorian with an an antique inspiration  The full Peony Garden Suite can be seen on pages 82-84 of the catalog.

Here are some beautiful images from the catalog showcasing the Peony Garden Suite. I love the soft yet rich look of the whole suite.

 

I also love the beautiful satin ribbon and faceted gems used on these projects

 

I love the petal pink soft colors in these peonies

 

I love that you can use a lot of different colors for Peonies

 

  Click the links below to purchase the entire Suite and get all the coordinating products

*Note: To buy the Peony Garden Suite click on the upper left item. The other items I’ve added are necessary to turn your projects and cards into beautiful pieces of art. I’ll be you won’t want to give them away. But please do, people will love them.

YOU’RE INVITED – HOP INTO SPRING WORKSHOP

You’re Invited

To Annabelle’s Stamping Studio’s Hop Into Spring Workshop!

 

Did you know that Tuesday  February 25 is Fat Tuesday or Mardi Gras? That means that Easter is just 47 days later!  Wait what???? There I said it!  Don’t kill the messenger!!

What do we as stampers and crafters do when we have a Holiday fast approaching?  Well, we start to create our beautiful projects for our loved ones.  Below are pictures of the last workshop held earlier this month.  We had such a fun time.  We had a large group and met some new friends and had a wonderful time.  I want to let you know that I have 4 packs of the card “Hope your Birthday is filled with Goodness” for sale.  If you would like one, please let me know.  All the materials are cut and all the stamping is done.  All you have to do is put it together. $4 each.

Don’t you just love the Peaceful Poppies Suite? We made this beautiful card which looks like a lot of work, but actually is not hard at all.  A little different take on the buckle card.

The inside of this card makes it so rich. This Suite is so versatile.

Loving this super easy “make your own background” card made also with the Peaceful Poppies Suite. The colors in the DSP are amazing together.

This is the card that I have extras of.  It’s made with our Free DSP in Sale-a-Bration and the Free Lily Pad stamp set and matching dies.

Look at the inside and what a few folds can do to a card to make it look amazing.

Again the awesome Peaceful Poppies set, just a bit more subdued in color.  Again the DSP makes this card pop!

I really loved making this card as well.  It’s so easy and made with some Free Sale-a-Bration items.  The “Happy Birthday” cake set is Free, but you can use it for way more than birthday cards. A wedding card comes to mind!

You can see we were busy at the workshop.  If you’d like to join the fun here are the details for the March Workshop:

DATE: SATURDAY MARCH 7, 2020

TIME: 12 NOON TO 5:00 PM

COST: $30 (Includes all materials to make 5 projects, lunch, and door prizes!)

SALE-A-BRATION CONTINUES WITH:

Customers can begin placing qualifying orders on March 3, 2020 until the end of Sale-a-Bration on March 31,2020.  Just a REMINDER that the Sequins and Bakers Twine in the first release is SOLD out.

FEBRUARY IS FOR FUN

FEBRUARY IS FOR FUN

WE’VE BEEN BUSY

 

It’s hard to believe that it’s almost the end of January and the first month of the new year gone! Just like that. How has the new year been going for you? Have you kept your resolutions? Have you gotten organized and ready to take on the new year? Hopefully you all have done something productive this past month, and have started to make a difference.

On January 11 we had a very fun and successful workshop. I decided to start the year with getting a head start on our Valentine’s Day cards.  We made 3 Valentine’s Day Cards and 2 All Occasion cards.  I love all the sets we used for all the cards but I especially favor the Painted Poppies set.  This is the new breakout set of the year! If there is only one set you purchase this year, it has to be this one! The coordinating colors are brilliant and the patterns in the DSP is amazing.  There probably isn’t any occasion card you can’t make with it.  Here is what we made with this amazing set.

BUCKLE CARD

 

This type of card is called a Buckle card.  The green striped flap slides into a punched out slot underneath the large poppy to create a buckle. This holds the card closed.  The sentiment and the stamped poppies are on the inside and outside of the card which gives the card nice dimension. Click on the product links below and get your supplies to make this beautiful card. (cased card, not my original design)

 

Product List

 

One of the best items (in my opinion) in the Sale-a-bration Brochure this year is the Golden Honey Bee SDSP pack.  It contains foil paper and such great designs.  One of the best things is that Stampin’ Up! has created a stamp set bundle (Click Product List Link below) to match, and of course it’s adorable.  Here is the Bee card we made at the workshop.

BEE CARD

These are just two of my favorite cards we made at last month’s workshop.  Below is your invitation and all the details for February’s workshop.

NEW: Starting February 4, Sale-a-Bration will be introducing “COORDINATION PRODUCT RELEASE“, until March 31.

They’ve also included a package of DSP and some of those new dies, cut out the images on the DSP.  It makes everything so easy and it makes Sale-a-Bration all the more exciting! ALSO, when you order any of the items in Coordination Product Release, your purchase counts toward the FREE Sale-a-Bration items.  It’s a total win-win!! Notice that the flyer indicates “While Supplies Last”, don’t miss out!

 

DID YOU KNOW?

That some of the items in the Mini 2020 catalog have matching items for FREE (orders of $50 or more) in the Sale-a-Bration brochure?  For example: The Honey Bee Bundle #153792 on pg. 30 of the Mini Catalog coordinates with the FREE Golden Honey Bee Specialty Designer Paper #152311 pg. 10 of the Sale-a-Bration Brochure.

Sending You Thoughts #152297 pg. 11 Sale-a-Bration Brochure coordinates with two (or more) sets in the Mini Catalog: Forever Blossoms #153781 pg. 16, Timeless Tropical #153811 pg. 40 and the Heartfelt Bundle #153775 pg. 10.

What’s Your Favorite Thanksgiving Tradition?

Submit your favorite Thanksgiving Tradition

and enter to win a $10 Annabelle’s Stamping Studio

gift card!

 

I love my family’s Thanksgiving tradition.  For about the past 40 years we’ve been going to Santa Maria to spend Thanksgiving with my sister and her family.  It’s so awesome to see how although the tradition has stayed the same, things have changed a bit because of things changing in our family dynamic. While we used to have dinner at my sister’s house in Santa Maria, we now go to San Luis Obispo to have our dinner at her daughter’s house.  She’s grown and has children of her own and she now carries on the tradition that her mom and dad started so long ago. My sweet mamma moved to Santa Maria 15 years ago so our time is extra special during Thanksgiving. We always have so much fun. I can’t wait to go up every year.

I will be doing a drawing on Tuesday November 19th for a $10 Annabelle’s Stamping Studio gift card to be used on Stampin’ Up! product.  Just in time for Stampin’ Up!’s Online Extravaganza.  See details below!  Don’t miss out on submitting your favorite tradition as I will close submissions on Monday November 18 @ 10 pm pst.  This drawing for the $10 gift card is for my customers only.  If one of my downline wins, you will receive the new My Ready Reference Guide.

 

ONLINE EXTRAVAGANZA

Our annual Online Extravaganza will be held November 20-22, 2019.  More details will follow next week when the details are made available to all of us. Check Annabelle’s Stamping Studio’s FB page and Instagram page for all the details.  There will be a lot of good deals to be had.

Would you rather make All Occasion cards designed with a Fall theme?

If so, how many?

 

Hello everyone!

Can you believe it’s officially Fall? This summer just flew by, for me anyway. You know what Fall means right? It means that Christmas is just around the corner (we can tell that by all the Christmas Season decorations and merchandise out in the stores)

I’m determined this year to get ahead of the game and not be rushed at the last minute in all my holiday planning and getting my projects out.  And as an effort to meet the needs of my customers, I’d like your feedback so if you would please reply to this post and let me know what you’d like.

I wanted to show you a sneak peek of 2 fun cards I’ve created.  I love these 3 sets and the coordinating supplies that go with them.  The Toile Christmas Suite with the Toile Christmas and the Tidings All Around stamps and the dies are so versatile and beautiful.  There is so much you can do with those 2 sets and the rest of the suite including DSP, dies, ribbons and embellishments.  I’m also in love with the Gather Together Bundle.  The DSP is so beautiful and the dies have some great leaves that are actually meant to be embossed!  Come to the next workshop and learn how to use dies to create beautiful embossed images.

Take A Look – WOW!

HAVE YOU SEEN THE NEW

2019 HOLIDAY CATALOG?

 

If you haven’t gotten your complimentary copy of the 2019 Holiday Catalog, contact me and I will get one out to you right away.  While you’re waiting for your own copy,  you can click on the image of the catalog below and view a digital version.

Where do I begin when it comes to describing this catalog?  Every year, I say something along these lines, but this year I just fell in love with one suite in particular, our Toile Tidings Suite (pages 6-9). It is such a classic and versatile suite.  It’s a large suite with all the necessary items to make beautiful Christmas cards, tags, gift wrap, and gift packaging.  There are two beautiful red rubber stamp sets in the suite (Toile Christmas Bundle & Tidings All Around Bundle) with coordinating dies for each stamp set First, I want to point out that the suite colors are traditional Christmas colors of Real Red and Garden Green.  The coordinating background color is Very Vanilla which adds a warmth to the DSP and matching wrapping paper.  I wanted to bring your attention to the ribbon in the suite. The Real Red Ruched ribbon is gorgeous.  It’s soft, and gently gathered on both edges to create a rich ruched look to help make your packages or projects look so elegant.  Then there’s the Garden Green Double Stitched ribbon.  It’s stitched on both edges making it perfect to tie tags onto packages while providing a classic elegant look.

I seem to gravitate to the beautiful Christmas products we have but I don’t want to forget the fun Halloween products we have this year, including the Coffin Treat Boxes and the adorable Monster Bash DSP in the Monster Bash Suite (pg 52-54).

 

 

Thanksgiving is a holiday I love to focus on because sometimes it gets kind of overlooked between Halloween and Christmas.  I’m really in love with the Come To Gather Suite (Pg. 46-48). I especially love the Come To Gather DSP and the Gather Together Bundle which of course includes the dies.  I love the rich colors of Fall and they’re all included in this suite. I think you’ll love it too.

Summer Loving, or Loving Summer?

What’s your take on Summer?

For me it’s both…

 

Loving summer is easy for me because it’s a time when times are a little bit laid back and in California or you can take on a lot because there are so many things to do.  Summer loving, is also easy for me because I can make my own holiday in August.  Did you know that August has no official holiday? Think about it!  Well when I thought about it, I thought what a great time to have a stamping workshop and make it a party and my own August holiday! Join me for my Summer Loving workshop.

DON’T HATE ME!

CHRISTMAS IS ONLY 154 DAYS AWAY!

That fact does not scare me! That fact does not scare me! That fact does not scare me! Does it count that I keep repeating it to myself (and to you) that it doesn’t really scare me???  Insert laugh until you cry emoji!!!

The reason it doesn’t  scare me even just a little bit, is because I don’t have to come up with any ideas on my own to make my family’s Christmas super special this year.  You see, yesterday we as demonstrators got a pdf copy of the 2019 HOLIDAY CATALOG.  You can check out the cover below.

My sister and I alternate having our family Christmas dinner at our house each year and this is my year. I’m so excited that I can start planning all my special touches with the help of this beautiful Holiday Catalog.

You may be asking when you can get your hands on a copy of the holiday catalog. I will be giving  those that attend my workshop on August 10 their own copy, or see it at my online store and start purchasing on September 1, 2019. If you can’t make it to the workshop, and would like one, please let me know BY JULY 31, 2019, and I will put you on my physical mailing list. I will also be giving them out at my September workshop which will be my CHRISTMAS WORKSHOP where you will be making Christmas projects.  More on the September Christmas Workshop in my next post.

July 13, 2019 – Next Workshop!

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!

 

Happy 4th of July everyone! ! I hope that you’re able to take some time out today from the BBQ’s, parties and festivities to reflect and understand what this day really means!  I’m so grateful that I live in the best country in the whole world. I’m free to speak and live my life the way I want.  For that I’m truly grateful and whatever your reasons are, I hope that you can celebrate them today. AND….. yes let us celebrate by having the BBQ’s, parties and most of all the festivities and fireworks!!!!

As promised I want to post 4 of the 5 projects we will be doing at the workshop next Saturday July 13.  I’m working on one more project that’s almost ready. Here are the details of the workshop:

DATE: Saturday July 13

TIME: 12 Noon to 5:00 pm

PLACE: Annabelle’s Stamping Studio – 3300 Granada Circle, Brea

COST: $28 (my downline $23)

BRING A FRIEND: $23 (get $5 off your fee if you bring a friend (new to my workshop) – guest pays $28)

Cost of the workshop includes the following: All materials (except adhesive) to make 5 projects, Lunch and Door Prizes

PLEASE RSVP BY: JULY 10. Even you’re not 100% sure that you can make it, please let me know that you are thinking about it.  I’d rather be prepared and make extra kits than to have to make kits at the last minute.  REMEMBER if you can’t make it to the workshop, but want the projects, you can buy the pre-prepped kits @ $3.50 each BUT I need to know your choices by July 10.  Thanks for your cooperation!

Please remember to bring your Stamping Workshop Kit. I provide everything you will need to make the projects (cardstock, DSP, embellishments, ribbon, ink pads, blocks, punches, scissors, paper cutter, bone folder, pierce mat, except adhesive.  We don’t use all these adhesives every time, but it’s a good idea to have them in your kit. This includes, Mono Multipurpose Liquid Glue (w/green lid), Snail, Dimensionals (large & small), Glue Dots, Tear & Tape, and Fine Tip Glue Pen. If it is your first time to my workshop, or are a new stamper and don’t have these items, I will provide them for you at no charge.

If you feel more comfortable using your own tools such as scissors, foam stamping mat, blocks, bone folder, tool picker, please feel free to bring them in your stamping kit. Makes sure you label all your personal items as things get mixed up as our creative juices get flowing.

 

Here are pictures of the projects I’ve planned for next Saturday:

 

This picture does absolutely no justice to this stunning card. Actually it’s one of the easiest card to make. I know it looks complicated but it’s really easy. I LOVE the color combination.

Product List – Pretty Peacock Card

 

 

This card won a contest at Amy’s Business meeting. Done by Diane Garvin, and so beautiful. It’s so soft and eye catching. Thank you Diane.

Product List – Birds on a Branch Card

 

 

 

I’ve always liked the contrast between these colors. This is another sample of a super easy card. With a few cuts, punches, and a stamp look what you can make. Love the DSP in the Bird Ballad suite.

 

Product List – Bird Friendship

 

 

Let’s step it up a bit. I get that this card looks like a lot of work, but technically it’s really the embossing folder and the birthday word die cut that makes it pop! Definitely not hard, it just take a little bit of patience, but certainly fun to make!

Product List – Magnolia Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday Workshop Recap – July Workshop

Recap!

June 22 Happy Birthday Workshop

 

We had such a wonderful time on Saturday at the June workshop.  I want to give a special shout out to Carol Rodriguez and Lani Razo who made my birthday extra special.  They brought a wonderful Nothing Bundt Cake, balloons and gifts.  I’m a very blessed girl and we all had such a fun time. Thank you all for such a fun day.  Here are a few pictures of the projects we made.

 

 

Loving this Piece of Cake stamp set. Doesn’t it make you want you to have a piece of cake? Super Cute!
A little unlikely combo. Sail Away DSP and the new Daisy Lane stamp set. Love it!

 

 

I shared photos of the other cards we made in the last post.  We really had a great time working with the new medium daisy punch (it’s super cute) and of course I love stripes and polka dots in the card above.  The Piece of Cake card above was also fun to make by adding the tag which could also be attached with removable tape so that the recipient can use the tag as a bookmark.

Here are some pictures of the bundt cake, balloons and my workshop birthday celebration:

 

Ha Ha, one day a year, It’s all about me!
Stamping besties! Barbara, Monica, Janet, Melanie, Lani

 

 

My stamping besties! Janet, Melanie, Carol, Lani, Monica
