To access the catalog:

  • Download the Google Catalog app (available through iTunes and Google Play)
  • Sign in using your Google or Gmail account. If you don't have a Google account, you can create one by tapping the "Sign Up" button in the app.
  • After you have signed in, search for Stampin' Up! in the "Select Favorite Catalogs" list.

  • Watch videos from our YouTube channel right inside the app! Jump to the Stampin' Trimmer on page 180 (page 182 in the app) to see it in action.
  • SHOP ONLINE! You can order products directly from the app with just a few taps through Stampin' Up!'s online store. (We are unable to direct customers from Google to each demonstrator's online store; therefore, Stampinup.com ordering rules apply).

An invitation...

Leadership invitation 1
It is so exciting to go to the mailbox this time of year.  And, besides the handmade cards I have been enjoying, this invitation arrived this week ~ so exciting!  Stampin' Up!'s Leadership meeting is in January and this year it is in Orlando.  The invitation is to the  Managers' Reception at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando Resort!  The invitation says ~ Only here can you soar above Hogwarts grounds as you join Harry Potter and his friends on Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey.  Plus, you can explore Hogsmeade and visit some of the Wizarding World's best-known establishments.  It's an entire evening of magic and excitement ~ and it's all yours!

What a morning!

 

Some of you know that things have gotten a little topsy turvey right outside the door of the Cat/Art Studio.  Dominion Power has high voltage lines at the back of our property and they have access if needed.  Well we found out several months ago that they were going to increase the voltage of the lines and had decided to use 'their' access.  As a result, they are clearing 'their' part of everyone's property.  Alan built our garden house years ago ~ with all the necessary permits ~ but it had to go.  Today was the day of the actual move preceeded by days of work on his part.  I thought you might like to see the progress made this morning ~ with the help of James, Alex, Josh AND Alex's big crane!

And, yes, they are out there working now to enclose the house.  And, Alan tells me the windows will be lowered and the siding will go back on so ~ sometime in the future ~ we will have a pretty garden house again (somewhat taller!).  What a morning!  (Now, back to Christmas!)

 


Lovely as a Tree
Lovely As a Tree, #127793 (c), #115026 (w)

I thought you might like to see a beautiful card using Stampin' Up!'s long time favorite stamp set, Lovely As a Tree.  It has been in the catalog for years and years and it is definitely a classic.  I have this picture stored in my picture files under Christmas and, unfortunately, don't know who created it so I can't give them credit, sorry.  Enjoy!  And, don't forget my great GIFT CERTIFICATE offer ~ I will add an additional $5 for every $25 gift you would like to give ~ put Stampin' Up! under the tree for your friends and family ~ or, yourself (right, Kim?).  Thanks for stopping by ~ Susan Elise
