Style Watch

Stampin' Up! offers combinations of stamps and accessories specifically designed to work together to create a pleasing, consistent feel. These combinations simplify the project-making process--you can choose a theme, select its coordinating products, and plan your project. Here we present projects to demonstrate various project types you can make with one style.

Each year we’re excited to share our exclusive collections inspired by the season’s hottest trends. We consistently refresh our Style Watch lines to make sure we’re providing up-to-date stamp sets and embellishments that fit your style and coordinate effortlessly.

Product Coordination

Each collection features products that coordinate in color, texture, and theme. You may see different components in each line, but you’ll always see several stamp sets, a coordinating alphabet or wheel, and several embellishments (think Designer Series paper, punches, ribbon, Accents & Elements, Rub-Ons, and more) to put the finishing touch on your projects.

 

Join me in my classes as we make these projects!

Scrapping away the day

Made these pages at Lisa's house on Monday! The picture of Katie with her license has to be reprinted as soon as I have ink! I put it there to remember how large it is so I was able to plan and work on the rest of the page!

Missing person post- NO HOAX here

My friend and side line Julie sent this to our group today and I asked her if I could share it with you and she agreed.

This post is not business, but I need to get the information out to as

many people as possible.  My sister-in-law's dad is missing.  He's in

his early 80's, has trouble walking without his walker and needs his

heart and blood pressure meds.

 

Description:  Hilmer Jager, last seen in Shoreline, WA, wanting to

drive to a friend's house in Maltby/Snohomish.  He's never been there

before and seems to be having some confusion issues recently.  He could

be anywhere, even out of state, if he got confused while driving.

Hilmer drives a white '96 Buick Century, WA license plate 72399DP (disabled plate).  He is 6' tall, but walks stooped over, about 350 lbs., uses a walker or wheelchair, may be fearful and confused.

 

If you are a praying person, please plead for him and his family.

 

Thanks,

 

Julie Alberda

 

You Quack Me Up!

I received a phone call about 10 am yesterday from Lisa, she wanted to scrapbook so of course I threw all my Monday plans away and gathered my stuff together (mostly show and tell- my new big shot and dies, papers and quilt materials) and rushed over about 11 am-  took Subway and had a lovely lunch with her and Ashley and then we headed down to her scrap room for show and tell.  Then we got busy scrapbooking and this is one of the pages I created- what do you think?

 

I am using my pages by design program I purchased after seeing how well it worked for Lisa. You can't go wrong with Jack for a subject!  Printed papers bought at a scrapping store-  solids and inks are Stampin Up! Die cuts are all sizzix I have on the shelf (tub is Lisa's) and I used the new BIG SHOT ! Yippee!

check back tomorrow for the pages of Katie that I made!!

Today's Topic: Quality

Stampin' Up! is proud to offer beautiful, affordable, high-quality stamps and accessories for a good value. You won’t find better products for scrapbooking or handmade cards anywhere else!

We focus on making sure our product is of the highest quality. In addition to the deeply etched images on our rubber stamp sets (which result in sharp, clear images on your projects) and our exclusive products, we also have a stringent quality control process to ensure you get the best products possible.

For example, we make sure our colors are true so you get beautiful coordination whether you’re using Real Red ink, paper, ribbon, buttons, or anything else in our exclusive colors. If a batch of products isn’t quality, we won’t send them on to customers!

Mormon Conspiracy?

Holy Hannah!

Exclusive Products

 

Exclusive Products

Stampin’ Up! manufactures many of its own products, and contracts with other manufacturers to offer products exclusive to Stampin’ Up!

Exclusive Colors

Each of our exclusive colors is organized into one of our color families: Bold Brights, Earth Elements, Rich Regals, Soft Subtles, and Neutrals. Once you have selected your color scheme, you have a full range of coordinating products to choose from while taking the guesswork out of color coordination.
We also have an In Color palette with six of the year’s hottest colors. These shades are exclusive to our product lines, and you’ll love how we incorporate them into our Designers Series paper, kits, and embellishments. But get these products now, because next year they’ll be gone for good (and we’ll choose six more fabulous colors).

Exclusive Designs

Our award-winning rubber stamp art and designed products are created by our talented artists and designers, and are not available anywhere else in the crafting world.

Katie gets her license!
