Happy NEW Catalog Day!

It’s HERE!  The brand new 2019-2020 Stampin’ Up! Catalog is LIVE!
I feel like I always say “Now THIS is my favorite catalog” every time a new one comes out…BUT…
I promise you….THIS catalog does NOT disappoint.
The variety of products, the gorgeous image in both stamps and paper, the fun, new accessories…they all just make my heart SING.
I’ll be sharing tons of new ideas and projects here and on my Suitably Stamped Facebook page.
Also, if you don’t already follow that page, you’ll want to set up your notifications on there so you won’t miss my “Create at 8” and “It’s a Date at 8” Facebook LIVEs at 8 p.m. (EST) on both Sunday and Tuesday evenings.  There you see new projects and fun ways that I share to use the current goodies in the catalog.
If you still don’t have your very own copy of the catalog, please email me at shellsuit@verizon.net and I’ll get one in the mail to you.
Until then, you can download a copy to check out by clicking the catalog image at the upper right side of this page.
Here’s a little video with a sneak peek for you….
I can’t wait to hear what your favorites are in the new catalog!
Happy Stampin’!

NEW “Shiplap Santa” Punch Art

Happy Monday, Peeps!

I have been having so much fun in the studio and I couldn’t wait to share this NEW punch art cutie with you.
Meet “Shiplap Santa”
Doesn’t he just make you smile?  LOL  
This project also highlights a couple of sneak peeks from the upcoming Holiday Catalog.
There’s NEW Festive Farmhouse Designer Series Paper, the NEW Christmas Bulb Builder Punch and the gorgeous NEW Galvanized Buttons.  Oops!  I almost forgot to mention the Stitched Seasons Framelits (149013) which are already available.  
Check out the card’s trifold design…
I just LOVE those stitched framelits.  This set is a little different from the Stitched Shapes Framelits in that the stitching on the inside and the outside of the shape.  They are perfect to create frames like I have here.
Are you ready to make Shiplap Santa? 
Get the color pdf tutorial for FREE when you place 
a $25 order from my Online Store.

To order ONLY the tutorial, go to the “Tutorials” tab at the top of the page.  Cost:  $20.00


Have fun bringing your very own Shiplap Santas to life!

Wishing you a wonderful week ahead,
Michelle

NEW Punch Art! Weclome, Poppy!

Happy Hump Day, Peeps!

I have just the thing to get you over the “hump” today.  How about some fun, new, stinkin’ cute punch art??  Yep!  I have to tell you that this little lady has been bugging me to make her into punch art for the last two weeks.  I know…I know…I’m weird.  No biggie.  LOL  Sometimes I struggle with ideas for new punch art but not today.  “Poppy” is the darling little “scrapbooker” from the new Dreamworks movie “Trolls”.  I just adore her!  She was definitely meant to be because this punch art gal came together really quickly.  Here she is….
Isn’t she just a ray of sunshine??  I love her happy face and just the joy she brings.
I haven’t gotten a tutorial together for her yet.  I just really couldn’t wait to share her with everyone.
If you’d like to know what I used etc., please send me a note or leave a comment here on the blog.
I’m off to be a Mimi for the afternoon but I’ll be back later with another fun project for you.
Until then,  get those fingers inky and have fun!
Stamped Blessings,
Michelle

Creative Circle Design Team – October Blog Hop

Hello, Friends!

I’m beyond excited today as I type this post.  I was asked to be a part of the Creative Circle Design Team Blog Hop!  Woot!  I’m so honored to be one of the designers that are included in this fun and talented group of ladies.

The Creative Circle Blog Hop is on the 6th of each month.  How fun that I get to post my very first one on October 6th since it is my 32nd wedding anniversary.
The theme for this month’s hop is the incredibly popular “Pop Up Card”.  When I started designing my card, I decided to go BIG or go home.  LOL  I designed a brand new punch art critter just for the occasion.  I absolutely love her.  If you’ve followed me and my punch art, you know that I always name my critters.  This lovely little lady’s name is “Wilma Vanderspook”.  She just makes me smile from ear to ear.  Wilma is different than most of my “critters” because she’s the leading lady of a new “exclusive” punch art family I’m going to be offering from time to time.  More on that later….I just can’t wait any longer to share her with you!

Ladies and Gents….I give you “Ms. Wilma Vanderspook”!

…and now for the  POP UP….

Isn’t that Pop Up just the coolest thing ever??  Every time I’ve opened it to show it I hear gasps and “How’d you do that??”.  It’s SO much fun (and addictive!)

The Exclusive Punch Art Critters (or EPACs for short) will have step by step tutorials available ONLY with a purchase.  They will not be sold separately.  When an EPAC is posted, it will be noted and the tutorial will be FREE with a purchase of $30 or more at my Online Store.  Once you’ve placed your order, you’ll send me an email requesting the tutorial(s) of your choice.  I will then email you the tutorial file.  Cool! Huh??

Alrighty…time for you to hop on over (actually back to the beginning) to see Sandra’s beautiful creation at The Scrap ‘n Stamp Shop.  Just click below.  Please come back and visit again soon!  Now…off you go….

Stamped Blessings,
Michelle
