Oh, Happy Day - Scenic Sayings Graduation Card

Hello friends!  Can you believe the new Stampin' Up! catalogue is only three days away?  I'm bursting at the seams with excitement for all of the new goodies, and I can't wait to share them with you!

Before June, though, we've got to finish up May - and that means I have three more daily blog posts for you!  Today will be the very LAST retiring feature - I'll still be posting daily until June, but will be sharing continuing and new items for these last couple of days.  A lot of items sold out over the weekend, so you'll want to be sure to shop ASAP if you haven't purchased your retiring must-haves yet.  I'd hate for you to miss out!

Today is the very LAST retiring feature, and it's one of my favourites - the Scenic Sayings stamp set.


This stamp set was first on my must-have list when last year's catalogue came out, and it remains one of my favourites still.  It's a beautiful set of fun, bold sentiments that work perfectly for any occasion. 

Today's occasion?  Graduation! 


I've paired this sentiment with the Writing Notes background stamp and a fun little graduation cap - complete with tassel! - to make this card fit for any graduate.  Unfortunately, in the time between when I made this card on the weekend and posting it today, the Perpetual Birthday Calendar stamp set - where those adorable stars are from - has sold out!  Like I said, you're going to want to hurry if there's still items you NEED before they're gone!

Speaking of things that will be gone soon - May's host code is expiring on the 31st, just like this catalogue!  It's your key to receiving a bundle of DSP, embellishments, and ribbon FREE with your order, so make sure you enter it at checkout in my Online Canadian Stampin' Up! store


Thanks so much for coming by today - and see you again tomorrow! 

Cheers,
Shannon

Chase Your Dreams - with Video Tutorial!

Hello friends, and happy Monday!  I hope your week is shaping up to a good start.  

I've been trying to spend a little bit of extra time with my retiring stamps and make sure they get the love they deserve before they're gone; today's feature is one you may have seen on my Facebook Page or YouTube Channel this weekend.  Today, I'm sharing Chase Your Dreams, one of the fabulous sets in the Stampin' Up 2017 Occasions Catalogue. 


This stamp set is gorgeous - and I feel like it's highly underrated!  I haven't seen too many cards made with it, so I wanted to share a video tutorial of a quick and easy card, similar to the one above.  Check out the video I made for you. 


It's so easy to whip up cards in a flash with this stamp set, and the beautiful line drawings are perfect for any recipient.  I just love it.

And you know what makes me love it even more?  It's ON SALE!  Heck yeah!
          Chase Your Dreams - 142942 (Wood) / 142945 (Clear)
The wood-mount set (142942) is $31, and the clear-mount (142945) is on sale for an amazing $17.60.  Can you believe that?!  I love this set so much, and I know you will too.  

Here's a better look at the card I made in the video... 



And if you watched the video, there's no surprise here:  I've got a bonus for you!  Purchase Chase Your Dreams from my Online Stampin' Up Store by April 30, 2017, enter the host code JEYSPYTK, and I'll send you the cardstock, ribbon, die-cuts, and embellishments to make this beautiful card.  You'll be off to a great start with your new favourite stamp set!  Hop on over to my online store, and don't forget the host code!  Following your purchase, you'll receive this video tutorial straight to your inbox so you can make the card with ease on your own schedule.


Speaking of retiring - and also featured in the video above - is Kinda Eclectic, another of my favourites.  I love that I can whip up a card with this stamp set in just a few minutes.  It coordinates perfectly and the images are so universal for anyone.  It's a must-have for your collection.


Kinda Eclectic - 135347 (Wood) / 135350 (Clear)
The retiring list is starting to look more and more depleted by the day; most items are only available while supplies last, and they're going quickly.  Make sure you shop ASAP to avoid disappointment!

Thanks so much for stopping in today - and don't forget about the online tutorial and free bundle of supplies from me!  I can't wait to send it out for you!  

Cheers,
Shannon

Wherever you go...

Hello friends!  I've been playing with all of my new goodies from the new annual catalog... Each day I find a new favourite!

The sunburst and the bird were what drew me to the Wherever You Go stamp set, but once it was in my hands, I really had some fun playing with it!  What I really love about this card is that I used virtually every stamp in this set - it makes for an easy and beautiful collage!


I thought this sentiment - "Wherever you go, go with all your heart" - would be fabulous for a graduation card.  'Tis the season, after all!

Cheers,
Shannon

June's host code - in case today is a shopping-in-your-jammies kind of day!
