Coming soon--Summer STAMP CAMP Online!
I'm so excited that I can't hold back anymore--I had a big new catalogue stamp camp planned, but due to, well, you know, a global pandemic, I'm pretty sure I'll be getting a refund on my community hall booking. Save the date for June 13 where the stamp camp comes to you in the comfort of your own home :-)

March Stamping Project: Introducing Wonderful Watercolour!
Many cardmakers have watercolours of some sort in the stash, but never quite get around to using them. There's so much to love about watercolour--the transparent look, artsy splash or vibrant hues. However...watercolour can be intimidating!
Many people first experience watercolours as children and remember soggy paper, colours that turned brown instead of beautiful and the sheer difficulty of getting the look right. Here's a simple truth--you don't have to be your childhood.
Watercolour pencils and aqua painters are a good first step in reclaiming your creativity or overcoming your fear. Recently I brainstormed three techniques for watercolour pencils. It's a lot of information, so I'll spread them out over a few posts and maybe some videos. For now, here are some supplies you may want to stock up on. Remember, Sale-A-Bration ends March 31st, so now's time to make a qualifying order and get a freebie or two!

Counterfeiting is time consuming to combat and Stampin' Up! works hard to keep on top of it. If you spot SU! items that you think might be counterfeit, you can send an email to Infringements@stampinup.com with:
OK, now that the serious part is over, did you know that Stampin' Up!'s stamps and inks are made in the United States? Superstar seller Tami White was fortunate to visit the Kenab, Utah facility and kindly posted a video of her tour online!
