BLOG HOP: Stamp Out Autism with Autism Speaks and Guest Blogger Veronica Zalis

God does give us rainbows, and Cameron is my rainbow. I used the set "Over the Rainbow" to create my card. I cut out strips of card stock and stamped the small heart from the same set to create a heart patterned background. I stamped and hand cut the sun. ~ Veronica

SNEAK PEEK: New Catalog Pre-Orders and Stampin Up On Stage Recap

Welcome to Part 2 of my 2017-18 Stampin Up Catalog Transition Series (click here for Part 1). In this video and post, I'll be sharing sneak peeks from the upcoming catalog. Important dates and how to receive your catalog are posted below. Tomorrow I will post pictures of the display boards, you'll see them up close in the video below. We got this new catalog at the Stampin Up On Stage event this past weekend. Because we were On Stage attendees, we were able to pre-order some sneak peek products. My Stamp It Group attended different events all over the country, I attended in Richmond, VA with my mom and my cousin. My cousin Kim is a new demonstrator and it was fun introducing her to the excitement that is Stampin Up! It was an emotional moment when I was called up on the stage and recognized for hitting $1,700,000 in personal sales. There was a standing ovation, I was so blown away (see video). Thank you to all of my customers!! Don't miss the "After Live" giveaway bundle below.

BLOG HOP: Thank you for everything from Make a Medallion SAB Card

CARD

I can't believe that Stampin' Up's Sale-a-bration is almost over, March 31 will be the very last day for these limited edition products. But what's even sadder is some may not last that long, these products are "while supplies last" and as the due to extreme popularity several will sell out. For example the Gold and white card tin has already sold out. My card share is a beautiful and classic design. The background is stamped with the SAB Make a Medallion Stamp set. The words are from One Big Meaning and are stamped on a tag from the Cupcakes and Carousels Embellishment kit.
