Whew! What a week, with the changes to Mailchimp Amy and I feel like we’ve had a real monkey on our backs (sorry couldn’t resist a groan-worthy pun). A bit of humor gets us through most things and we appreciate you rolling along with us!
The great news is we have a solution that allows you to continue to use the Free Mailchimp service and our newsletter content without going bananas. We’ve created both video and written instructions to walk you through the steps. Continue Reading…
If you don’t use the Free MailChimp service you don’t have to make any changes and can disregard the rest of this email and go about using your newsletters as normal. Yay!
You know how you think you have something under control and then surprise things change? Well, we’ve had one of those surprise bumps in the road that is outside of your control or ours. Many of our subscribers use the free version of MailChimp as their email service.

I’ve become an Amazon junkie since I have Amazon Prime and Dot. If I’m not buying crafting stuff from my own Stampin’ Up! store, I then go to Amazon. These items are tried and true products I use all the time. I’ve mentioned or my customers, friends, and demo sisters have seen me use them and have asked where I ordered them from and how much. My mind isn’t what it used to be so I’ve compiled a list of my favorite Amazon craft finds here. I’ll continue to update this list.

Have you heard the exciting news about the Retirement List and Color Refresh? It’s been 5 years since Stampin’ Up! has made a color change and I think this spring is the perfect time for a good spring cleaning, so we can bring in new colors we’ll love!
It’s Sale-a-Bration time, so you can earn rewards with qualifying orders. Many use this popular sale to get their hands on new favorites from the Occasions catalog, check items off their Annual catalog wish list, and to stock up on basics like adhesives, envelopes, and papers – all while getting rewarded with exclusive free stamp and more. I used the fabulous reward stamp sets to create a Mini Calendar.
This adorable mini gift bag features supplies you can get as Sale-a-Bration rewards! It is great for gifting Valentine’s Day treats or little love notes.
The mini gift bags are created from the envelopes in the Tutti-Frutti Cards & Envelopes – surprise!
After you try this, create more mini gift bags with the other envelope colors from the set. Cut the cards in half to create small love notes to fit in the bags, too.

It’s time to welcome a whole new world of colorful creativity to the Stampin’ Up! family! Stampin’ Blends are here and I am thrilled. Say hello to a new world of creativity! Meet Stampin’ Blends, artist-quality alcohol markers.
Blow up the balloons! Queue up the resolutions! Chill the champagne!
It’s almost New Year’s Eve!
I love this time of year, not for the glamorous parties and excuse to wear all the bling, but because it represents a clean slate with so many possibility.
It’s also the perfect time to look back over the year to see what went well and what didn’t. January is a time for projection and setting goals, the last month of the year is often a time of introspection.
There are so many ways to dress up these cute little boxes! They are perfect for filling with treats or 3″ x 3″ cards, too. And for some extra holiday flair, add the Stitched Felt Embellishments [144619].
Here is our version of 15 Ideas for using the popular Mini Pizza Boxes.
Happy New Year! I hope your New Year is off to a great start!
Personally, I think the New Year really kicks off on January 3rd when the new Occasions Catalog and Sale-A-Bration start.
