Texture Cuts Wood Sheets (116309) & Artichoke 3/8" Denim Jean Ribbon (125054) – 40% off

These sheets of ultra-thin birch add a refreshing and unusual texture to your projects. They're made of real wood that's thin enough to cut with the Big Shot or our Craft & Rubber scissors.

• Very thin birch with paper backing
  
• Four sheets of 5-3/4" x 13-3/4" wood
  
• Can be stamped or heat embossed
  

Oak Tree on Wood Card   Stamping on wood the ink spreads a bit.  On the top sample I used a blender pen to smear the image of the tree and the trunk.  On the 2nd card I only used the blender pen a tiny bit.  This was a favorite card.  It is really worth the investment in the Big Shot Wood.  Give this a try.

• Stamps:  Lovely as a Tree (115026), Perfectly Penned (Wood 122890, Clear 122892)
• Cardstock:  River Rock, Always Artichocke, Very Vanilla

Here are some more of our favorites from the Occasions Mini Catalog -

3/8" Pleated Satin Ribbon – Pear Pizzazz (125568), Riding Hood Red (125569), Blushing Bride (125570) and Baja Breeze (125571)

This ribbon is a wonderful way to add that extra special, feminine touch to your projects.  It's a great way to SEEM like you spent a great deal of time, fussing stitching and gluing the pleats – but that can be our secret! 

This box was created with the Simply Sent Everyday Elegance (122377) card kit.  We also used the Thank You Kindly Stamp Set (wood 111700).

Both these items are retiring this year!

Bordering on Romance (Wood 125480  Clear 125482)

This versatile stamp set includes a daisy chain border stamp – great for backgrounds too.  It also includes a stamp that works perfectly with the new Edgelits Dies and Adorning Accents Embossing folders also from the Mini Catalog.  Did I mention today is the LAST DAY to order from that catalog?

This card was created using Shimmer Paint (page 203 of the Big Catalog), Framed Tulips Embossing Folder (121809) and Blessings from Heaven Stamp Set (Wood 123050  Clear 123052).  Tip – make sure to let the shimmer paint dry really well.

And one more since this Catalog ENDS TODAY!!!

Mixed Bunch – Wood 125535  Clear 125537, Blossom Punch (125603),  the Labels Collection Framelits Dies (125598) AND Loved Ones Stamp Set (Wood 125465 Clear 125467)

We've highlighted the Mixed Bunch stamp set and the Blossom Punch last month One Design – Lots of Variety. 

The embossing was created with the Vintage Wallpaper Textured Impressions Embossing Folders (120175).

This all ends TONIGHT.  Click HERE to order online.  But Hurry!  All this ends at 11:50pm MST!

Happy Stamping!

Page 34 & 35

Scented Stampin' Emboss Powder – Vanilla 125590, Melon 127034 or Cherry 127035.   Scented embossing powder…  without messy mixing.  We have shown you in our classes how to create your own scratch & sniff using Kool-Aid but Stampin'Up has made it so much simpler by creating clear embossing powder that is scented.  The clear color lets you use any color craft ink to create that one of a kind project that will delight the nose as much as the eyes.

Mouthwatering – Wood 125675 or Clear 125677.   The perfect stamp set for the scented embossing powder.  Who doesn't like the smell of cherry popsicles or vanilla ice cream?  Teaming these 2 together create the perfect feast for the senses and is cute to boot….

We also used Summer Smooches Designer Series Paper (125409) & Fabulous Phrases (Wood 117002, Clear 120501)

Summer Smooches Preview is only good through April 30th.

Page 42 & 43 – I always flip through a catalog from back to front. 

Candy Conversations 125560.    I love Candy Hearts. I look forward to buying a box of them every Valentine's day. Remember when you were younger and that cute boy shared the LOVE YOU heart with you?  Or even worse – the KISS ME!!!   Oh the memories!  This stamp set pairs nicely with the Small Heart Punch (117193) giving you versatility for that punch.

Simply Sent Create & Keep 122380 

I like this kit because of it's simplicity.  Everything is included.   The accents are even stickers so you don't need adhesive.  This kit is perfect to give as a gift.  It would make a fun activity to do over coffee.  It is a great kit to have on hand when you need a quick card, but don't have time to drag out all your stamping supplies.    Have kids or grandkids that want to stamp with you?  Perfect too….  They can create all they want…   I'm always amazed at how creative young people are.  They have no fear.  Want to jazz these up a bit?  Use Jewels (Basic Rhinestones 119246 or Basic Pearls 119247) and you still won't need adhesive.

And that is just the last 2 pages of the catalog.   What are your favorites?  If you have a card or project that showcases YOUR favorite items - Email us HERE and attach a picture.  We would love to share your creativity with others. 

And don't forget – The items from this catalog are only available until April 30th!

We love this sneak peek from the new catalog that will be coming out on June 1st – a month earlier!   Isn't it fun to play with new, fresh items?  Have you had fun creating with this wonderful new line? 

Today, we want to give you some inspiration with samples. 

Remember – The sneak peek ends April 30th – Order today!

This Card uses the SUMMER SMOOCHES FABRIC DESIGNER BRADS (125589) that are ONLY available in April. They will not be in the new catalog. So make sure to place your order this month so you don't miss out on this really cute accessory. 

This card is also using the BRIGHT BLOSSOMS STAMP SET (Wood 125495, Clear 125497) and SUMMER SMOOCHES DESIGNER SERIES PAPER (125409). 

This card is highlighting the SUMMER SMOOCHES DESIGNER FABRIC (125411).  This shows how you can use the fabric in your card making even if you don't sew.  This card is also using DAFFODIL DELIGHT 1/2" SEAM BINDING RIBBON (125583), SUMMER SMOOCHES FABRIC DESIGNER BRADS (125589), & SUMMER SMOOCHES DESIGNER SERIES PAPER (125409)

This card shows off all the wonderful SUMMER SMOOCHES DESIGNER SERIES PAPER (125409).  The colors and textures are so vibrant.  They make card creating easy!

Doesn't this card just remind you of Spring?  The BRIGHT BLOSSOMS STAMP SET (Wood 125495, Clear 125497) has to be my new favorite stamp for flowers.  I love the simplicity and the timeless appeal of tulips and other bright blossoms.   Though – I did hear SNOW was in the forecast!!!!
