Hello, my Craftinated friends, and thank you for stopping by.

It has been a very busy, busy week. We decided to update our floors and my house is chaos right now. So, all our rooms are finally done and the next place that needs to be updated is my craft corner and I do not want too. Sigh. 

I have to pack everything and move it elsewhere. Which means that I have to stop crafting, which I am refusing to do. It has to get done but packing all the things is not fun at all.

Alright, let’s talk about crafting.

May 2^nd was the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog launch day, woo-hoo.

If you request a catalog from me and have received it, I would love to know what is your must have product. What are you loving and not crazy about. 

Stampin’ Up!’s products are getting better every catalog launch, and this year is no exception. 

I have so many favorites and in this FB live I go over my favorites.

I cannot wait to hear what yours is.

The first bundle I decided to use was the Little Monkey, it has a punch; and you guys one thing we have learned is that punches do not last. 

Are you a fan of Monkeys? I am not crazy about critter stamps, but the monkey and bird stamp set are an exception. 

Maybe later the Zanny Zoo bundle will grow on me. 

The first 30 minutes of my Live I got over Stampin’ Up! Updates and then I go over the catalog and state which products I am loving and which I am not a fan of.

Because I went over the catalog, I lost track of time and then ALLLL the fussy cutting I did, made this video super long. 

As a result of that I decided to make ONE card, and will post a process video of the other card I had originally planned to make live with all of you.

I will be posting it on my BLOG and YT, NOT on Facebook. So keep an eye on for that.

I DO NOT provide PDF’s, for any of my FB Live videos.

However, I will give you the measurements but not instructions. If you would like to know how I achieved a certain technique I suggest you watch the video.

Alright friends now lets that a look at that ONE CARD I was able to make.

Card base: Pecan Pie 8 ½’ x 5 ½’ scored at 4 ¼’

Granny Apple Green cardstock 3 ¾’ x 5’

Vellum 4 ¾’ x 3 ½’

Stamp Set: Happy Labels

Here is one more card I made using the same bundle. 

We made this over my uplines monthly meeting, we have a mystery stamping and loved how it turned out.

I had so much fun with this bundle that I decided to use it for a make and take my upline sent me.

If you would like to see the process, click on the video to watch.

Hope you have found some inspiration and if you have any questions regarding any products I have used or just in general please feel free and reach out. I will be more than happy to help.

These are my favorite tools.

Alright friends, until next time STAY CRAFTINATED!
