 Are we live? Hello? Hi! Hey stampers! Welcome to Stampin' Chat with Stampin' Jill. Usually she says Ann Aubrey. But I'm not Jill. I'm Beth. And we are here with you today so happy to be part of the Stampin' Jill creative team. And we are going to stamp and play a little bit with the excellent eggs. I wish it was eggs. It's just excellent eggs, which is way cute. But we're going to play with this bundle from the current mini catalog and come up and show you some cute samples. Yes. So it has the stamp set that has a few eggs and the little bunny and... Super cute sayings. Great sayings. Very fun. I love the font of them. And then the dyes that has... There's three sizes that you can just cut out. And then there's this cute, like, designy kind of dye. And then the bunny. You can cut out the bunny. And then you have these three. They're kind of like... Oh, they can cut the eggs like in half or do whatever. I've had some fun with those. I didn't know that's what they did. So I used them a little bit different. So we'll just want to... We'll show you a couple ways. Yeah. So here we go. Here we go. I will start... You start stamping. I have been playing with this set. I played with it a few days ago. And then I've been playing it with it pretty much this morning. And Beth just sat down to start playing with it. Yeah, and I'm playing very, very... She's so silly. I have... I already have some samples. That's what... And her samples are really, really cute. So here is my first one. Look at those cute bunnies on there. Yeah, you have to tell them where those flowers came from. All right. She asked me about the flowers. I just drew the flowers. I thought... She just drew them. I thought the egg was cute. I wanted some little flowers. There aren't any flowers in the set. So I drew them. She just drew them. Here are some chocolate bunnies. Hello, Spring. Did you cut out those and put them on that card? Did I? Oh, yes. Yeah. So I used the bunnies from these that I cut out on the back of here. If you can see, I just have pecan pie behind the bubble bath. And then I just used them on here. And I have more left that I can use. Cute. They're chocolate bunnies. I know, right? That's really cute. Right? Yeah. Okay. And then here is some eggs. Happy Easter. So I colored the egg. And then this is that cute, like, designy egg that's in the dye. It's really, really cute. It is really, really cute. Yeah. I think there's more you could do with it, too. Yeah. And then I colored this one the bunnies. There's no bunny like you. Super cute. Really cute. Yeah. Your color is ivory. So I've been playing with that. And that's those are what I did kind of the other day. And then I've been playing with it today, more with the dyes today. And I wanted to show some of the ideas I was doing. So I have this one that I'm going to do something I haven't gotten there yet. But this one was a lot of work I took. If you can see all of these pieces here, I cut out a bunch of eggs in just cute pastel-y spring colors. And then I cut using this zigzag. I just cut some of each of the biggest egg and then just line them up on that egg. And I'm going to do something like that. And then this one, I just cut out each of those colors in that cute little designy egg. And I love all the stitching look. I don't know how well you can see the stitching on these is really, really cute. It is super duper cute. So when every egg you cut out, I have to show you this one. So I just went through like went and cut out an egg. But it has, can you see, like, maybe you can't really see the stitching here? Maybe it just all has stitching around the edge. So it kind of finishes it off. Yeah. Yeah, there you go. Maybe that's a little better. So this is on a colored one. It kind of finishes the egg off just perfectly. It's really cute. They're really super cute. Okay, so I wanted to show this idea though. So as I was cutting these, I realized like that it kind of cuts a little tulip shape that you can, you could make it into a tulip. So I used the three smaller eggs and made three little tulips. And this is what I did. So this, if this were a full egg here, I just lined up the two edges like the ones going down like this with the edge of the egg. Maybe you can see it better if I go over the white like here. Let's see. If you line up the point like here and here with the edge of the egg, it's going to be even. So I did that. And then those two pieces come off and you're left with just a cute little tulip. So I'm going to finish up that card. And oh, and then I did the scallop one, this one on the bottom for grass. And this one is the straight one. But let's see, I had, oh, this. So I just did them. See if you can see like four times in a row here. And then it gave me my stems. Just do them real close together. Cute. Clipped it off. So cute. You're so inventive. Kind of fun. It's just, it's fun. And I don't know, there's not a ton of dyes in it, but it kind of was fun to come up with a different idea. So I'm going to use Hello Spring on this. Okay, what are you doing? So I am using kind of a small card. I did like a four by four right here. But I, but I did a base for my card and then I used an embossing folder. I like, I use the same one that you did on one of your samples. I didn't even look. Oh, the dot. The dot is super cute. It's like springy and fun. And I didn't use that scallop dye for an egg. I just used, I thought it was cute as a border. So if you have like a three inch, it works like it will just cut it. I'm sure it was easy to line up though, right? If you want to do more. It was easy. So I just thought these colors were so fun. I kind of took like color inspiration from the light. Is it lighter than air? Yeah, lighter than air. Six by six designer series paper. Cause I thought those were such fun, bright springy colors and just have made a card. So I'm just going to put it all together here. Thinking of you. Stuff here. And this ribbon, I thought this variegated ribbon was cute, which I noticed you also used on one of your samples. Which one? The blue. Oh, yeah. It's kind of, yeah. Isn't that pretty? I feel like there's so many you could use it with right now because it is kind of like airy. Yeah. Right. We have, I feel like there's a ton of stuff right now. Yeah. So I was going to put that on too. Yeah. So we are, do you feel like you're haggard looking? I probably shouldn't say that about you. Just about myself. I feel like I'm super haggard. I know. We just got back from Houston. We were there for on stage, which was so fun. We got to see a lot of our stamping friends. Yes, it was so fun. And see the new catalog and some of the products in the new catalog. In fact, I have it right here. I can't open it. You could show them. But I can show the cover. Look how cute. Okay. It's so fun. Isn't it so pretty? Look at it like this. I want to go to that party right there. I know. And be friends with those people. There are some really, really fun products in that catalog that we got to see while we were there at on stage. I always want to say convention. Been around too many years for that. But yeah, we got to go and it was so fun, but it was kind of a, we got back Sunday and started working Monday. So just jumped right back in. Yeah, we have our virtual classes coming up soon where we've been working hard our, let's see, our registration closes tomorrow for it. Yep. We end tomorrow. Our classes are in April. So we've still got a little bit of time to prep, but our classes, yeah, our registration ends tomorrow so we can get our order placed. And we've 10 classes that we're doing this time. So we've got a lot to choose from, but that is a lot of stuff for us to prep for you. So we're excited about that. But we had to jump right back in after getting back from vacation and start working again. You know, I wanted to just sit on the couch for a minute, but no such no rest for the weary, right? Yeah. Okay. Now I have to decide where that's going. Maybe just down in the grass. Oh, that's cute. I love those colors. What's your green in the back? Um, soft seafoam and then granny apple green. Okay. Those look different together. Soft seafoam looks way greener next to granny apple. It does. Sometimes it's so light. Yeah. Yeah. The granny apple pulls out the color. I like it. Oh, and I was going to do, look how cute. I think I'm going to use, this is the Parakeet party metallic ribbon. Oh, and I think it'll look really cute. I think it looks perfect. I'm going to make it like little leaves. Do you know what it made me think of was, um, grout, like the grass could be in that. Oh yeah. Jill made a sample last week with tulips and it made me think of that because that we have that cute green, um, glimmer paper. Yes. That's true. I think the things in this that are really cute. They are cute. I feel like that's kind of, maybe I need to back it with something. Anyway, there's kind of the base of it with the colors. Just a cute little Easter thinking of you that you could use in the spring. I need to decorate it up with some little gems and finish it off. And then I've got this other one. I've been coloring my egg, just a little note card. I saw, we saw so many cute samples this last weekend. And you know, you get the idea, but more like the layout. Do you ever do that? Like you see it and you think, oh, I want to try it with this paper. I want to try it, whatever. So fun to see so many fun ideas. Yes, it is. I know I can't, Easter seems so early this year. Yeah. Because it's in March, where that doesn't always happen. I can't believe it's only like two weeks away. Gosh, is that right? A week and a half even. Oh my God. Right? Yeah, I guess that's right. Which is really crazy. It does. Okay. And then I wanted to use some of these iridescent rhinestones on here. Okay, I want to use that. Maybe I'll use that on my other theme. And I'll stop just a little sentiment. The sentiments in this stamp set, where did they go? Over here. We're going to be. Hello spring thinking of you and happy Easter. They're kind of fun. They are cute. Yeah, they are. I love the scripty. Yeah. Or like the mix of them. They're kind of cute. Punchy punch here. Oh, cute. There we go. Way cute. That is fun. Cute. Okay. Now I want to figure out, I think I'm going to do something with this one. I don't know how. I think just centered. Cute. Maybe, can I use some of that lighter than airpaper? Yeah, absolutely. This has like a lot of these, what's our soft, subtle colors in it. It's fun though. It has like little pops of brights too. Yeah. I like it. I didn't technically use that. Hmm. Let's see. Let's see how this looks. Bubble bath. Cute if I did a strip of that. I used that. I used this one on this other card too because I thought it was cute with those bubble bath bunnies. So cute. I love this. Is this coastal cabana? Yes. Coastal cabana mixed with bubble bath. It's such a cute combo. That's kind of one of my favorite combos. That's really, really cute. I know. I like it too. Yeah. I still can't believe you drew those flowers. Crazy girl. Actually, you're super cool. So we've had a ton of stuff happening with Stampin' Up this week though. I know. I wonder what people have heard or seen that's new. What are you the most excited about? Well, I love the catalog. We can't show you, but it is different than it previously has been. The layout's a little different. You guys, it's so fun because it shows off some cool techniques in there. It shows you how to use different products, which I think is really valuable for people who are going through to make things because sometimes I think you get this stuff and you get away from the class or the party you bought it at and you forget how to use it. So it might be pretty helpful to have those little tips right at your fingertips. Tips at your fingertips. Finger tips. Tips at your tips. And it's just a really pretty catalog. It is. It is. And it's, I don't know, I think it can appeal to all kinds of crafters, which I love. So I'm excited about that. I don't know if I love this, Aubrey. What are your thoughts on all those things, Beth, on things that are happening at Stampin' I think I'm excited about the last chance stuff. They just have given us that list so we can see what's going to be retiring in April, which is always kind of exciting because it's discounted. So you can get a good deal on it. That's true. And actually, I think Annalisa said this one, this Easter set is one of those. Oh, nice. Which it's not discounted though until April. So you have to wait until April 9th to get the discount. But it does give us a little bit of a head up because we know a couple of things. So we know that there are a couple of price increases also in the catalog, which is a bummer, but we don't have them very often. And so Can I use that yellow, lolly, lemon, lolly? This one? Paper. Oh, are you using it? No. Not that one. Oh, this is card stock. Yeah, you've got it. Thanks. Sorry. No, you're good. Continue. So I know that's nice to kind of see like what sales you can get, but also if there's like colors you want before it's gone to hurry and go grab it so that it, you know, because once it's gone, it's gone with those products. Also with the new catalog, we found out that there are certain things that are going to be more expensive in the new catalog. So if you want to stock up on some of those things before the new catalog goes live, you could save some money like card stock is going up a little bit like basic things like card stock rates and that kind of yeah. So it's a good time to kind of figure out an order so that you can save some money that way. So I like those things. I like those ideas. But if you do want a catalog, we can start sending those out in April. We'd love to send you one if you don't have a current demonstrator. You can always leave a comment on this video, but we'll probably add a link in the comments of the video or even not the comments, but maybe like the description of the video where we have a form that you can go fill out and put in your address so we can send you a catalog because we'd love to do that for you. Yeah. Anyway, but yeah, lots of stuff going on. It feels a little overwhelming, hard to focus on one thing at a time seems like, but yes. It's always an exciting time of year. I know. And I don't know. Well, we, like we were saying, we have a lot coming up too. So we just have lots going on and thinking about, do we want to tell them what we're, the other thing? Well, it is in March, the thing we're doing in at the end of the month. I don't know what the end of March. Is it at the end of March or the end? Oh, the end of April. Oh, yeah. Do we want to tell them? I mean, I don't know. Is that something that we, do you think they care? I don't know. I mean, if they live in Idaho, they might care. I know. If you live in Idaho, we are going to be, oh, Leanne Smith just played with the set yesterday. Oh, Leanne, I want to see your samples. I want to see what you did because Aubrey is like going crazy with the dyes and I'm just stamping up a storm. So I'd love to see what you made because it seems like there's a lot of versatility in things to do. I know. Okay. She says, tell us. Oh, tell us. Oh, okay. If you leave them hanging longer, I don't know. Oh, I mean, we'll see you next week. I'm just kidding. So if you live in Idaho or near Boise, near Boise, Idaho, we are, we are going to Penner's, to Penner's conference. We are not just going. We are having a booth at Penner's conference. And we're teaching a class. We are. Yes, we're focusing on our kits. So we're not doing this kind of crazy stuff, but it would be really fun if anybody's in that area or close and you're planning on going to Idaho Penner's. Yes, please come meet us and watch our social media because we're going to be sharing discount codes. We can save you a couple bucks on classes or other things. Yay, Leanne. Thank you. We're so excited. We've never done such a big show before. Right. So, but we're really excited. Really excited. A little nervous. Aubrey's more excited than nervous. I'm very nervous. That's usually how it goes, though. It'll be fine. I have to bring Beth out of her nerves. Cute. Cute. I love this. I'm having springy. I think it too. I think lemon lolly might be one of my new favorite colors. It's kind of a fun spring color. We haven't had it in spring yet, right? It's such a great yellow. Yeah, it really is. Okay. So I, Aubrey gave me an idea earlier thinking I was going to do one thing and I am not. I just want to take and just see. I know we're running short on time, but I just want to see what this looks like and then I can finish up a sample because I was saying I wish it didn't take so long to color. So what if we stamp directly on the designer series paper? Ooh, that is cute. It's cute. So then you have an egg, right? Just like that. But then what if we take, oh, you took the pink. Do you have just a scrap of it? Yeah. Yeah. What if we take this one and stamp? You know, choose like a not super busy, maybe a little more of an open pattern so you can still see your design because this is just a really like a line already one. And then what if I take and like cut out little sections and layer it onto this egg and we can like mix and match. So cute. Yeah. So cute. Okay. I think that you should definitely do that. But I think that we'll have to go and post. Yes. The card because I think we've kind of, I know we've been going for so long. So make sure that you go to our Stamping Jills VIP Facebook group. The link is down in the description to see the stills, still photos of what we create today and jump on and grab this set. I know it goes discounted next month, but if you want it in time for Easter, go grab it today. Yeah. Yep. It's super cute. And I've been able to do way more than I even thought I could. Seriously, I can't believe the things you made. Kind of loving it. When in doubt, just draw your own image. When in doubt. If you're at that level, I am not. Oh man. Okay. Well, we will see you later. Oh, and a last reminder. Go and register for our classes for our April virtual classes. If you haven't done that yet, tomorrow is the deadline. Yep. We cut it off tomorrow. Don't forget if you do three classes or more, you get a $20 product credit with us. If you do 10 classes, you get free shipping in one of your classes free. Yes. So come hang out with us. It's so fun. Aubrey and I are teaching the classes. Jill's teaching one. So you'll get to see her a little bit. We do a Facebook page with live demos, giveaways, a card contest. It's such a fun weekend. We love it. Yes. We'd love to be able to connect with you. So join us for that.
