May 2021 Newsletter - Christine Josti, Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator
Hello & Happy May!
There is a lot to share and celebrate this month. Perfect time for card making!!!! There is A LOT of information below. You may want to save this email and refer back to it during the month (but don't worry if you lose it, I will be sending reminders through emails and social media posts). But, be mindful that there are two deadlines approaching for
Thursday.
I look forward to hearing what you think of all of the new products - please share your thoughts and likes with me.
Happy reading,
Christine
TODAY is the 1st day of the New Catalog Year!
Not only is today "May the 4th Be With You" (for Star Wars fans) day, but it's also the first day of the new 2021/22 Annual Catalog year (insert happy dance)!
You can view the online version of the catalog HERE, or you can find all the catalogs on the menu bar of my blog.
If you would like a paper copy of the catalog, my second shipment just arrived. You can make your catalog request HERE.

I will be going on Facebook LIVE and demonstrating a few cards using new products, especially the new In Colors. No sign ups needed. Just join me live, comment and ask questions to keep the conversation going. Can't watch live? Watch the replay.
Join me on my facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/mailsomethingpretty/
You are going to LOVE all of the new products!!!! Stamps, dies, punches, papers, ribbons, gems, gifting, and more!!!!
I polled my team yesterday to ask which was their favorite new In Color. Here are their results. I will share with you that I am quite excited I figured out how to make a pie chart with percentages AND fill them with the In Colors 😊.
What's your favorite new In Color?? There are samples of In Color cards below.
New Photopolymer Option in Cases
Each year Stampin' Up! evaluates, polls, questions and then re-evaluates things that can make stamping & paper crafting even better. You will notice that all photopolymer stamps in the new catalog will have the images of the stamps printed on the inner sides of the case. Now, instead of putting the stamps on the flimsy plastic piece, you can stick the stamps directly on
the inside of the case, right where the image is. Brilliant!
Quick & Fun "Fancy Fold" Card
I received this card from Mary Lou (😍 ) and thought it was a perfect card to replicate with the new In Colors. Need a card idea for Mother's Day? This is perfect! It's a quick fancy fold that is super easy and uses very little patterned paper.
Card Base - 4-1/4" x 11, scored at 1-1/4" and 5-1/2".
Two complimentary strips of Designer Paper, 1" x 4-1/4"
(optional third patterned paper, 2-3/4" x 4-1/4")
Close the card as you normally would and then fold the 1-1/4" flap back and adhere shut. I have become addicted to making these cards!!!!!! See below.
Card base is made with the new Pale Papaya. Designer Paper from the new Pansy Petals Designer paper. Scallop Die from the new Scalloped Contour Dies and the Thanks (stamped in the new Polished Pink) is from the Hand-Penned Petals stamp set.
Card base is made with the new Soft Succulent. Designer Paper is a mix - top card is all from the Pansy Petals and the bottom floral print is from the Hand-Penned Designer paper. I used the dies again from the Scalloped Contours dies (the second layer cut from vellum). The stamp set is from Simply Succulents, using the marker on stamp inking technique.
Card base is made with the new Polished Pink Designer paper is from the Pansy Petals. Flowers are cut from the same paper pack with coordinating Pansy Patch dies. Embossed Polished Pink paper is from Meadow Moments embossing folders. Sentiments are stamped in Evening Evergreen with stamps from the Pansy Patch stamp set and cut with the Potted Succulents dies.
Card base is made with the new Fresh Freesia. Designer paper is from the Pansy Petals. Embossed Fresh Freesia paper is from Meadow Moments embossing folders. Sentiments are stamped in Calypso Coral with stamps from the Dressed to Impress stamp set and cut with the Potted Succulents dies.
Card base is made with the new Evening Evergreen. Designer paper is from the Pansy Petals. Embossed Evening Evergreen paper is from top: Tasteful Texture embossing folder and bottom: Meadow Moments embossing folder. Top sentiment is stamped in Evening Evergreen with stamps from the Happy Thoughts stamp set (in January - June catalog and WILL BE retiring) and cut with the Potted Succulents dies.
One of My Favorite Things
There are so many things to love in this new catalog......we (demonstrators) were able to pre-order from a select list and these Scalloped Contour Dies are just amazing!!! Even if you don't like the stamp set that they are bundled with (and I do love the Color & Contour Stamp Set) you can use the dies on their own. Each scalloped rectangle has a different detail - use alone or layered together.
Scalloped Contours Dies, 155560, $35 or Bundle with the Color & Contour Stamp Set to save 10%, 158356, $50.25.
