What is a swap - each person who signs up will make a card (all the same) for everyone else on the list who signed up. For example we had 16 (the biggest swap so far!) sign up so everyone needed to make 15 of the same card (unless they wanted to keep one for themselves)
At the end of the night they each went home with a variety of 15 different cards. Cards that they can use for their classes or for making cards to send.
Normally we do a SWAP when a new catalog is introduced but I failed to orchestrate a new annual catalog SWAP so when the August/December catalog came out we said that they could use something from either one of those catalogs but it needed to be a NEW product and the card had to be 100% Stampin' Up! products.
I was quite impressed with the beautiful cards that everyone made. I will share these cards between three different blog posts.
For this first post I will share the cards that I will call "All Occasion"
Have I got a deal for you!!
Actually Stampin' Up! set up this deal for the month of September (2020) So it starts TODAY!!

You will also receive enough cardstock pieces to make 16 cards, a pack of Rhinestone Basic Jewels, the So Much Love stamp set, and the Queen Anne’s Lace stamp set—all for your first event - if you so choose.

The New Embossing Tool is Here!
I have had my new Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine for 3 weeks now
and I absolutely love it!
This new tool offers multiple die-cutting and embossing options that I know you will love. This Stampin' Up!-exclusive machine offers the highest quality and makes precise cuts and detailed embossed images every time.
You will also love how simple it is to store and how easily portable it is. It will make a great addition to any craft room. One of the best things is that it comes with all the tools needed to get started right away, making it easy for you to have a fantastic die-cutting and embossing experience right from the start.
Here are some simple facts that Stampin' Up tell us about the new machine:
- The firm top handle allows for easy transport and leverage while in use.
- The machine includes a solid, full surface impact foldout platform to support solid and stable performance.
- Its high grip feet minimize sliding on surfaces.
- It has a compact footprint for easy storage and transport.
- Its platform is designed to naturally guide products into the rollers for a smooth user experience.
- The ergonomic handle flows well and balances the perfect amount of rotation and pressure for precise cutting and detailed embossing results.
- You are going to LOVE how smoothly and easily it cuts! AMAZING! And with the new specially designed flatter dies, they cut through like butter!
You may remember that originally, the magnetic plate was not going to be available till later this year. However, it is available TODAY! so you can add it to your Starter Kit!
I know you are probably also waiting on the Mini Cut and Emboss Machine. But that won't be available until later this year.
I will keep you posted on the progress of that tool.
If you do not want to take advantage of this great deal, but still would like to purchase the new cutting machine, here is the list to my quick links to contact me or to shop with me: Just remember if your order goes over $150.00 please do not use the hostess code as you will receive the 10% hostess rewards for yourself.
Now it a great time to grab those embossing folders and dies that you have been wanting but you were just waiting for this new machine to become available

The starter kit is the one on the right, the second month kit is on the left. The little butterflies on the cards are actually from the leftovers in the journal kit. But this is the type of projects you will be seeing in your kits (thanks to Karen B who posted these already made up)
