TOPS Virginia State Queen 2019...

noreply@blogger.com (Marie (MarieStamps.com)) — Tue, 30 Jun 2020 19:21:00 +0000

I hope you don't mind a non-stamping post today. Some of you may know about my weight loss journey for the past 4 years. Today, I was super excited to see that I was featured on the Official TOPS Club Inc. Facebook page! It was quite the surprise when I started getting tagged with comments! I am the 2019 Queen for Virginia which I have known since March, but did not know had now been announced. Normally, I would have been crowned Queen in April at our state rally, but after postponing a couple of times, it was rescheduled to next year due to COVID-19. You earn Queen by losing the most weight from the time you join TOPS (July 2016) until you reach your goal weight (July 2019). I lost 142.2 lbs with TOPS (Taking Off Pounds Sensibly) and another 10 pounds or so before joining. No crowning pictures yet, but the photo above is the picture that was featured on the Official TOPS Club page.

Update August 21, 2020: Still no state crowning, but here is a picture from my wonderful local chapter awards where I was crowned as our Chapter Queen. We had a fabulous "TOPScars" theme and everyone dressed as we were going to the Oscars awards!

TOOL TIP TUESDAY: SEAL & SEAL+ Adhesives...

noreply@blogger.com (Marie (MarieStamps.com)) — Tue, 09 Jun 2020 12:48:00 +0000

SEAL and SEAL+ Adhesives

Have you noticed these brand new adhesives in the new Annual Catalog? The Stampin Up! SEAL and SEAL+ adhesives are instant bond, permanent, tape runner adhesives. With them, you can easily apply a controlled amount of adhesive directly to any project. Be sure to watch this Stampin' Up! video about SEAL and SEAL+ adhesives and then check out my comparison chart and FAQs, so you are in the know!

ADHESIVES COMPARISON CHART

Hopefully this guide will help you choose the perfect adhesive for your project!

FAQS

Q: How do Stampin’ SEAL and Stampin’ SEAL+ compare with SNAIL/Fast Fuse?
A: Stampin’ SEAL

Stampin’ SEAL is an everyday adhesive that bonds instantly and neatly, like SNAIL
Stampin’ SEAL was designed to have improved strength over SNAIL

Stampin’ SEAL+

Stampin’ SEAL+ is a super-strength adhesive that bonds instantly and neatly, similar to Fast Fuse.
It is perfect for heavier layers or small 3D items.
Stampin’ SEAL+ is perforated for easy separation after laydown

Stampin’ SEAL and Stampin’ SEAL+

Exclusive case
Case can be used interchangeably for both Stampin’ SEAL and Stampin’ SEAL+
Includes 16.4 yds. (15 m) adhesive vs. 13.1 yds. (12 m) with SNAIL Adhesive
No “checkmark” hand movement required for release of adhesive
Re-sealable pouch packaging for storage and to protect it when stored in a bag or tote
Refillable cartridges

Q: Where can I see how Stampin’ SEAL and Stampin’ SEAL+ compare with other Stampin’ Up! adhesives?
A: Check my Adhesives Comparison Chart above.

Q: How should we recycle old SNAIL cases and cartridges?
A: As you transition from SNAIL to Stampin’ SEAL, we recommend that you use up your cartridge supply and recycle their cases just as you always have.

Q: Why do I need a Stampin’ SEAL if I have Stampin’ SEAL+? Do I need to buy both?
A: Stampin’ SEAL is less expensive and is designed for everyday use. Stampin’ SEAL+ has a stronger bond which works well with 3D and heavier projects.

Q: Will SNAIL/Fast Fuse refills fit into the new Stampin’ SEAL/Stampin’ SEAL+ adhesive cases?
A: No, they do not.

Q: Do Stampin’ SEAL and Stampin’ SEAL+ have the same case?
A: Yes. They can be used interchangeably if desired.

Q: Will Stampin’ SEAL and Stampin’ SEAL+ roll back on itself and jam—as would sometimes occur with SNAIL Adhesive and Fast Fuse?
A: Any roller adhesive can exhibit this problem. When it occurs, we recommend stopping the adhesive laydown and adjusting the roll manually before proceeding. It is always helpful to use slow and controlled strokes during use.

Q: Are Stampin’ SEAL and Stampin’ SEAL+ permanent adhesives?
A: Yes. Stampin’ SEAL and Stampin’ SEAL+ are non-repositionable adhesives. We recommend against moving embellishments or paper once you have adhered them to your project.

Q: Is SEAL an acronym?
A: Yes, it stands for “Simple Easy Adhesive Laydown.”

Q: Are Stampin’ SEAL and Stampin’ SEAL+ acid free and photo safe?
A: Yes.

Stampin’ SEAL and/or SEAL+ Troubleshooting

The tip of the adhesive runner should be in a flat position against the paper; avoid using it on an angle.
Once the laydown of the adhesive is complete, stop and pull the adhesive straight up. Avoid pulling the adhesive back to separate it from the paper.
If the adhesive won’t advance and the trail breaks off, add slight pressure to get it rolling again. You may need to use your finger to advance the adhesive.
Stampin’ SEAL and Stampin’ SEAL+ create a strong adhesive bond. When using more fibrous papers, paper tearing may occur. If the paper tears and rolls into the adhesive, it will not ruin your adhesive roll. Stop and adjust your location and angle before proceeding with a slow and lightly controlled stroke.
Similar to what you may have experienced with SNAIL or Fast Fuse, it is possible for Stampin’ SEAL and Stampin’ SEAL+ to roll back on itself or jam. This can happen with any roller adhesive. If it occurs, we recommend stopping the adhesive laydown and adjusting the roll manually before proceeding. Using slow and controlled strokes is advise.

LAST CHANCE TO GET THESE RETIRING PRODUCTS!

We're saying goodbye to retiring products from the 2019-2020 annual catalog and this is your LAST CHANCE to get them! Retiring products will only be available until June 2, or while supplies last, so now's a great time to get what you need before they're gone! Accessories will go FAST - especially the retiring In Colors, so don't delay!!!

*Note: Due to high demand for retiring stamps, we'll keep producing retiring stamps until May 22 (not accessories - accessories are only while supplies last).

Download the PDF for a quick reference, or use the Excel file to sort the list by product name, price, page number, discount, availability, or product type. Check back regularly to make sure you have the most up-to-date information. These are the official retiring lists:

These are my retirement lists which I redid the way my OCD brain works! I like everything sorted with all the stamps, dies, ribbons, etc. together and then in alphabetical order. I find it much easier to go through and see what I must get before it goes. Plus I removed the French items as they are geared more towards Canada.

STAMPIN' BLENDS: Please note that I removed all the Stampin' Blends markers from my list as I know it will scare some people when they see them (and it took up 3 pages!). They are NOT retiring! They are just being redone as combo packs only. The Color Lifter is the ONLY marker that will be sold individually.

THOUGHTFULNESS IN HEATHER CARD...

noreply@blogger.com (Marie (MarieStamps.com)) — Mon, 10 Feb 2020 21:38:00 +0000

This is a cute little card I made at a Downline meeting. I love the new Small Bloom punch and this stamp set makes it quick and easy to create a "Thank You"or "Congratulations" card when you need one!

Of course, I had to use my favorite new embossing folder for the background - just love that Parisian Flourish folder! Both the Nested Labels and the small bloom punched piece are raised up on Stampin' Dimensionals to give even more depth. I also added some Wink of Stella to the bloom, although you can't really see it in this pic.

TOOL TIP TUESDAY: Updated 2019 Marker Chart...

noreply@blogger.com (Marie (MarieStamps.com)) — Tue, 25 Jun 2019 17:54:00 +0000

TOOL TIP! Out with the old and in with the new! I have created a new updated marker chart for the marker box with the new colors! I chose alphabetical order with space for the In Colors separate on the top row. I find it easier to find my markers quickly this way with the color showing and only the English name, so my aging eyes can see it better! Just click on the link below, print it, cut it out and adhere over the old chart on your marker box.

NEW!!! With this version, I am removing the color names of the In Color markers. Since there are now only 7 open spots in the marker case (and 10 In Colors), I am leaving them blank, so that you can choose your favorite In Colors or retired colors to keep in the box and write them in.

You can get your own copy HERE for FREE (do not use picture above - it is not to scale)! This template may be printed out for PERSONAL USE ONLY! It may not be printed out for others, sold or posted on blogs, websites or facebook, etc. Please refer others to my website to print out their own template. Thank you for honoring my copyright!

Please Note: Demonstrators, please give credit where it is due for the work that went into this handout. You may print the copyrighted handout to share with downline or customers in it's entirety, including my name and contact info, or not at all. Sorry to have to emphasize that, but I am having a lot of trouble with my work, photos, files, etc., showing up on other blogs with no credit given. Thanks for understanding!

INSPIRE YOUR HEART WITH ART: Tufted Heart Valentine Box...

noreply@blogger.com (Marie (MarieStamps.com)) — Thu, 31 Jan 2019 15:47:00 +0000

Today is Inspire Your Heart With Art day! So, of course, I wanted to include a heart in today's project. I have already shared a couple of cards with the Meant to Be bundle, so this time I chose a treat box. I wanted to use our Mini Pizza Boxes as they are perfect to gift a cookie (food-safe interior), 4 tealight candles, delicious chocolates or some of your handmade 3x3 cards! And I decided to keep the design very simple.

I started by coloring my Champagne Shimmer Mist with a few drops of Blushing Bride Reinker. Then I spritzed it on the Mini Pizza Box in thin coats until covered to the desired effect and allowed it to dry. It's hard to see the shade in the picture, but trust me, it is a beautiful shade of shimmery pinkness! Don't be surprised if your pizza box curls up. It will flatten out when dry. If there is any curl remaining, just put it under some heavy books overnight and it will be fine.

For the top, I did a simple, but elegant heart. If there was any stamping, this would be a #simplestamping project, but I couldn't bear to cover up this gorgeous tufted foil heart!

I have been dying to use more of these FABULOUS Foil Sheets, so this was the perfect excuse. I just LOVE the way the foil looks when it is embossed with the Tufted folder. And this foil pack is a GREAT deal! It is available for FREE with your $50 order during Sale-A-Bration.

JANUARY PAPER PUMPKIN VALENTINE PILLOW BOXES...

noreply@blogger.com (Marie (MarieStamps.com)) — Mon, 28 Jan 2019 18:54:00 +0000

I just got my January Paper Pumpkin Kit in the mail Saturday, and I was so excited, that I just had to make some of these adorable pillow boxes right away! When I saw these cuties, I knew they would be perfect for Valentine's treats for my Bunco group! This kit makes 24 boxes and I only needed 12 for my group, so that is all I made for now. I will use the rest for different takes on the project including some cards.

I just LOVE that this kit coordinates with our Animal Expedition Suite including our Animal /Outing stamp set, Animal Friends Dies, Animal Expedition DSP and more! As an extra perk when you subscribe, you get exclusive access to past kits including refills when available! I will be on the lookout for refills of this one, for sure!

ON THE CASE FRIDAY: Romantic Valentine Card...

noreply@blogger.com (Marie (MarieStamps.com)) — Fri, 25 Jan 2019 15:23:00 +0000

I don't CASE (Copy And Share Everything) too often, but when I saw the beautiful sample in the Occasions Catalog on page 7, I just had to make one! It is just so pretty and romantic looking, due mostly to the new Lace Dynamic Embossing Folderm which I LOVE! And I think both sides look equally lovely when embossed, so take your pick.

I wanted to make mine a Valentine card though, so I changed up the colors and a few elements, but kept the layout. I used the new All My Love Ribbon Combo Pack for my color inspiration and paired Lovely Lipstick with Flirty Flamingo. I also decided to challenge myself to use only one bundle to make this card, with no other stamps or framelits. Although I know one bundle is all you need to make LOTS of great cards, I do tend to mix & match a lot.

Don't you love the heart border die? It gives you lots of hearts to use in this project with plenty to spare for another one as well! I am going to try this card again in another color, so stay tuned...

TOOL TIP TUESDAY: Cling Stamps are Here!...

noreply@blogger.com (Marie (MarieStamps.com)) — Tue, 22 Jan 2019 14:54:00 +0000

By now you have had a look at our Occasions and Sale-A-Bration Catalogs! You may have noticed that there are no wood-mount or clear-mount stamps in them. Beginning with the 2019 Occasions catalog and Sale-A-Bration brochure, all new stamp sets will be available either in cling (for red rubber stamps) or photopolymer.

Stamps in the 2018-2019 annual catalog will continue to be available in clear-mount, wood-mount, or photopolymer. In the 2019-2020 annual catalog, clear-mount and wood-mount stamps will no longer be available. Sales of Wood-mount stamps have been sharply declining for some time and Stampin' Up! has decided to go with the trend. But, don't worry! The new Cling stamps are FABULOUS! They stick very well on your clear blocks or Stamparatus plates and you will LOVE them!

The only real difference is when adhering the labels on the Cling vs the Clear-mount stamps is that you must carefully line them up the first time before adhering, because you cannot remove or adjust the labels afterwards. It is permanently adhered and removal will damage the stamp's foam.

Watch this video for more information on our new Cling Stamps:

Note: If you are viewing this post via email, click HERE to see the video.

Please Note:

During the transition, be sure to view product details carefully both in publications (each stamp type is identified with an icon) and when placing orders to note the stamp medium.
Red rubber stamp sets (clear-mount or wood-mount) in the annual catalog that will be carrying over will transition to cling with the 2019-2020 annual catalog.

CAS MONDAY: Hello Beautiful Butterflies!...

noreply@blogger.com (Marie (MarieStamps.com)) — Mon, 14 Jan 2019 13:00:00 +0000

Today I have a CAS (clean and simple) card to share with you! I am trying to embrace Stampin' Up!'s #SimpleStamping campaign, but as many of you know that is not so easy for me. I don't think I quite made it with this one, but I'll keep trying!

I really wanted the oval die-cut for the sentiment. And I just HAD to add some splatters of colored Wink of Stella to the beautiful Botanical Butterfly DSP from the Sale-A-Bration Catalog! Yes, I know - I'm bordering on some OCD here, but I can't help myself! I do love my Wink of Stella.

The small butterfly and sentiment are from the Occasions Catalog. I just love butterflies, so I am sure this stamp set, punch and paper will be getting a lot of play in my studio this spring! The photo is showing the purple card base as being a little more Gorgeous Grape than Highland Heather, but it is indeed the later.

I'll keep working on a really simple one, but for now, enjoy!!!

MEANT TO BE WHITE ON WHITE CARD...

noreply@blogger.com (Marie (MarieStamps.com)) — Thu, 10 Jan 2019 14:01:00 +0000

Hubby and I celebrated our 37th anniversary last night (this picture was from a few weeks ago) and today I have the white on white card I made for him to share with you! I usually don't make him such a frilly card, but I've been wanting to make a white on white card for a while, so he got to be my guinea pig!

I love the stark simplicity of white on white even if the card itself is not a simple one. I added lots of texture and depth to this one! I think this card would be a wonderful wedding card, but could it could be the perfect Valentine, anniversary, engagement or bridal shower card as well!

For the center panel: I first placed the heart die in the center and ran it through the Big Shot, putting the heart aside. Then I embossed the center panel with the Swirls & Curls Embossing Folder. Aren't you thrilled that this folder made the CarryOver List? One of my favs from the Holiday Catalog! Next I used Sponge Daubers to apply Frost White Shimmer Paint to the panel to give it a pearlized look. Then when assembling the card, I placed the heart die cut back inside the center panel when adhering!

The sentiment is a 1" strip that was punched with the Everyday Label Punch centered on the strip. Hope you enjoyed my attempt at a white on white card!

CUT & READY TO GO CARD BASES...

noreply@blogger.com (Marie (MarieStamps.com)) — Mon, 03 Dec 2018 13:14:00 +0000

Stampin’ Up! is running a test to gauge interest in a card-base product. The testing area includes the Southeast area of the United States (Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia), so if you are in these states, LUCKY US!

The two card-base packs (Winter and Valentines) will be available to our customers in this Southeast area through December 31 (while supplies last). While these card bases include retired colors, they make it so simple to put together a quick card and the colors chosen are beautiful! I suspect these will go quickly, so don't delay!
