SNEAK PEEK: You’ve Been On My Mind Card from the new Bloom by Bloom Stamps

CARD

Today's card share is sneaking a peek at the new Happiness Blooms Suite coming out in the Stampin' Up! 2019 Occasions Catalog. The new Bloom by Blooms stamp set and Bitty Blooms punch pack can be purchased as a bundle (save 10%), or individually. The stripes are from the Happiness Blooms Designer paper. The ribbon is new Calypso Coral Satin Ribbon. All from the new suite.

In addition, the words are from the new Needle & Thread stamp set. The lace edging was created with the Delicate Lace Edgelits Dies.

A special look at the Stampin Up Factory – Made in the USA

STAMPIN' UP'S MFG FACILITY

Kanab, Utah The People Behind the Magic Did you know that many of our products are made right here in the USA? It's true, our stamps, ink and paper are manufactured in our facility in Kanab, Utah. This facility is a very special place, the employees are passionate about their jobs, and the company. Many have been there for a long time. At the beginning of this year I was honored to become Stampin' Up!'s first ever $2,000,000 seller. That $2million was all personal sales with my customers in 14 years (at the time). That's not only a lot of stamps, it's a lot of wonderful customers. When I become the 4th $1,000,000 seller, I had a big celebration at the home office in Riverton, Utah (see video below). For $2,00,000, I chose to celebrate with the staff at the Stampin' Up manufacturing facility in Kanab, Utah. They are as important as my awesome customers. Without their hard work in manufacturing our high quality products, none of this would've been possible. While I was at the factory, we put together this short documentary, with the help of Ben Naccarato. I've been waiting a long time to share this special short video.
