Shipping Price Change

I’d like to make you aware of a shipping and handling price change effective April 1, 2022.

Stampin’ Up! has announced a change to shipping and handling pricing. Starting April 1, the minimum shipping charge will increase by $1.00, from $6.95 to $7.95—or by one percentage point, from 10% to 11% of the total order amount—whichever is greater.

I want to make sure you’re aware of this change, as it impacts both you and me. Stampin’ Up! is only one of many companies that have had to increase their shipping and handling costs in response to the global supply chain crisis. Stampin’ Up! has worked to keep the increase as minimal as possible so we can continue bringing you the unique, high-quality, and coordinated papercrafting products we love

I’ve been a demonstrator for almost 10 years and during the entire time the shipping and handling pricing has been the same.

  • For your reference, here are the order amounts at which shipping and handling fees change from the
    minimum shipping charge to 11% of the order total:
    In the United States, the minimum shipping charge of $7.95 USD will apply to order totals up to
    $72.31 USD. Order totals greater than this will be calculated at 11%

Celebrate Sunflowers

Happy Monday!  How was your weekend?  We had snow both Saturday and Sunday, the perfect weather for vegetable soup!

Today I’m featuring the Celebrate Sunflower Bundle, which is one of the bundles included in the Savings are In Bloom Promotion, ending March 31, 2022. You can save an additional 10% (all bundles are already discounted 10%), sale price is $45.50.

The sunflower is matted on a piece of In Good Taste Designer Series Paper and the background of the sunflower is Ombre 12″ x 12″ Specialty Paper. Detail die cuts are designer paper as well, Sweet Symmetry.

Second card has images stamped in Memento Black Ink which I’ve colored using Water Painters. Colors included are Bumblebee, Just Jade and Cinnamon Cider. To get the ink for coloring I pressed a clear block into the ink pad, using the water painter picked up ink to color the images. Label is from the carryover Seasonal Labels Dies.

Final card uses the Happy & Heartfelt Stamp set for the greeting from the January – June 2022 catalog and the retiring Tailored Tag Punch. If you don’t have the punch get it before it’s gone, it’s great not only for greetings, but making banner ends.

Inspired Thoughts Bundle

Today’s card was inspired by a view out the window one evening and I wanted to recreate it on a card. I just love the colors I can see if the evening, one set of colors on the west side and another completely different set on the east side.

Inspired Thoughts Bundle works perfect for this card.

Stumped on what to say? The Inspired Thoughts Stamp Set has many heartfelt sentiments designed specifically for card fronts and inside the card! To make using this stamp set even easier, all sentiments fit on the D clear block. There are 11 cling mount stamps in the set.

Be inspired by the whimsical canopies of the Inspiring Canopy Dies! Try layering the canopy designs with tonal cardstock or try out various coloring techniques to bring your nature-inspired designs to life. There are 7 dies

I used Blending Brushes on Shimmery White card stock to create the background and the tree piece is Basic Black card stock. Basic White card stock would also work nicely.

It’s a busy day here at Stampin’ Up!, here is the second special starting today!

Each of the world’s wide and open oceans is brimming with beauty and wonder. Marvelous marine animals, miles of submerged mountain ranges, and unique underwater plants lie thousands of feet below Earth’s dry surface, encouraging exploration and awaiting discovery.
