Christmas in July Stamp A Stack

This is one of my cards for my Christmas in July Stamp a Stack on July 27. It uses the new Holiday Frame folder from the Upcoming Holiday Mini Catalog. The  new Holiday Catalog is so awesome. You will love all the new items and bundles that you can purchase together to save $$$.

Goodbye to my Demonstrator Website

My demonstrator website is disappearing on July 14. I will be maintaining this blog instead. You can still order online with the www.stampinup.com and use my  name, Joan Norman, as your demonstrator, to order online. I hold classes in my home and welcome all new customers. If you would like to be on my emailing list of classes, please email em at stampnjoan@gmail.com

       Happy Fourth of July

We made this card for the holiday. We used a Whisper White card with Red Glitter and Night of Navy cardstock. I also used the retired star punch. Later I added a banner that said, Happy Fourth of July. Inside was a stamp that said Celebrate Today.



A new hostess set is A Cherry on Top. It is easy to stamp with because each part is separate. The colors used were our new In  Colors for 2012-2014. I used Primrose Petals, Gumball Green and Summer Starfruit. The other new colors are Midnight Muse and Raspberry Ripple.

New Stampin' Up Pads

Well, after using every new ink pad I purchased several times, I can honestly say I love them more than the old pads and I know you’re going to love these new Stampin’ Up Ink Pads, too!
Here’s what I found: Stampin’ Up’s new ink pads provide better ink coverage for your stamps! Light-tap stamping produces flawless images…no need to twist, twist, tap, tap, tap on the pad before you stamp! The ink pads are juicier which means they will have better ink pad longevity!

In addition, our new Stampin’ Pads

• Have a crisply printed, glossy label on the top of the pad that is easier to read and that will not fade or chip off!
• Come with color name labels in all four languages (English, Spanish, French, and German)-just choose your language, peel it off the back, and add it to the side of the pad for easy identification!
• Use the same patented flip-top case design that stores the inking surface upside down, so the pad surface stays moist!
• Are available in all colors, including our exclusive In Colors!

Please note: Five ink colors have undergone formula changes to improve functionality and color stability with the new firm foam pads. These colors are:

• Basic Black
• Basic Gray
• Marina Mist
• Perfect Plum
• Tempting Turquoise

All five colors of the reformulated inks have been fully tested and approved. While using the new reinkers in the old Stampin’ Up Ink Pads is fine, Stampin’ Up does not recommend using the old reinkers in the new firm foam pads.
Additional features you’re gonna love:

• The firm foam is nice and flat and will not become wavy.
• The firm foam material does not imprint on the stamp images like the felt pad sometimes did. However, because the firm foam material is a foam base material, the stamp image can momentarily leave an imprint on the pad, which can transfer to a second stamped image. By inking your stamp on different areas of the pad or waiting momentarily for the ink to rise back to the top, you can easily avoid this situation.
• The firm foam material is soft and has a nice bounce to it. It’s not hard like the felt is.
• The ink lay-down (how the ink is absorbed into the card stock) is even, not blotchy, and dries quickly. It has an increased opacity and stamps solid images beautifully.

Edgellits and Framelits +1

 This is a cute simple birthday card using the beautiful designer series paper from the mini catalog called Sweet Shop #125408. Don't miss out as this retires on April 30.

 This baby card is a line of baby clothes for a boy and girl. Can you guess what the clothes are made from? Yes, it is the owl punch!!  This is the vest for the owl. This is one of the cards from my stamp a stack for edgelits and framelits.

This card was oroiginally by Debbie Olsen in pretty in pink but I changed it to perfect plum. I used the labels framelit, the embossing folder oval and the edgelits die with embossing folder to match. This is another card from my Friday night class on edgelits and framelit.

 I earned this Packed for Everything Stamp bundle by being a demonstrator and sales. This is the Packed for Mom stamp which made a really pretty card for a Mother's day or female birthday.








Finally this card was a vellum card shown by Sherril Graf. I loved the colors and the delicate look of the flowers that are colored on the back of embossed vellum. This is one of my cards for my stamp a stack.
