You can be just like a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator and order products BEFORE the release of the 2018/19 catalog during the month of May! Isn’t that awesome?! Stampin’ Up! created the perfect bundles for every type of crafter: the new, the one who has the basics, the one who needs to have it all, and anyone who wants the newly designed In Colors ink pads. I made several samples for each category so you can see which bundle you like best. These bundles are only available during the month of May. All but one of the products will be available individually beginning in June, but not bundled with free gifts.
Get comfy, there is a lot to share including lots of photos and a video.
Here is a link to see ALL of the BUNDLES.
Just Getting Started Bundle
This Just Getting Started Bundle is put together for someone just getting started, i.e. the basics: a stamp set, 2 inks, a block and some card stock & envelopes. But, you don’t have to be just getting started to purchase this bundle (really it’s for everyone). The price of this bundle is $57 and includes a free package of Very Vanilla Notecards & Envelopes (20 pre-scored card bases & envelopes).

I won’t be surprised if this Love What You Do stamp set becomes one of my go-to stamps sets because of all flower images & nice words. I had a lot of fun creating with it, actually, I had to make myself stop so I could go to my daughter’s softball game. This stamp set is included in all bundles. 
Do you see all the possibilities with this stamp set? Let me show you 4 examples using only products from this Just Getting Started Bundle.
The first card is copied from the one included in the flyer. The other three I came up with using the products only in this first bundle. I keep telling people in my classes, simple does not need to be boring. These simple cards use just the basics and are really great cards you could make no matter what level of stamper you are and be proud to mail.
Just Getting Started Bundle, $57:
Love What You Do Photopolymer Stamp Set, 13 photopolymer stamps
Very Vanilla 8-1/2″ x 11″ Cardstock, 40 sheets, 8-1/2″ x 11″

Clear Block E, 3-7/16″ x 4-7/16″

A Little More Please Bundle
This A Little More, Please Bundle is the Bundle put together for someone who has some of the basics already and is ready to increase their stamping supplies. The price of this bundle is $91.50 and includes TWO free items valuing $17.50: the same package of Very Vanilla Notecards & Envelopes (value $6.50) as above and the new Share What You Love Embellishment Kit (value $11).
As you can see, this bundle does include just “a little more” than the one above. It includes a second stamp set called Make A Difference. It is an incredible alphabet & Numeric set that includes both an upper & lower case brush script set, an all caps set and the numbers. I don’t have this set (yet), but I hear that it is super easy to create any words/phrases. I have seen many card samples using it, and the letters connect very easily by either stamping one letter at a time, or putting all letters together on your block or Stamparatus. Please notice that there are multiples of some letters and double letters included – that makes it so much easier to create words/phrases. The other incredible thing about this set is the phases found on the bottom, such as “handcrafted just for you”, “hand stamped by” and “deliver to”. For those of you who like to make cards and sell them, this is a must have set because it includes the ©STAMPINUP stamp that you must include on the back of your cards per the Angel Policy (www.stampinup.com/angel-policy).
Here are some cards I made using this A Little More, Please bundle:
The first card is copied from the one included in the flyer and is sitting on top of the Share What You Love Embellishment kit box. The second card is one I came up with using the products in this bundle. 
This is a close up of the second card highlighting some of the embellishments. Do you see the velvet Rich Razzleberry ribbon? How about that doilies – it may be hard to see, but the doilies have a pearlized finish (many things in the upcoming catalog evolve around the pearl, celebrating Stampin’ Up!’s 30th Anniversary). The antique rose embellishment is included in the embellishment kit and is self adhering.

Gotta Have it All Bundle
Get ready to “gotta have it all”! This Gotta Have it All Bundle includes everything you need and will keep you busy for a long time – and, you get THREE free products, one of them is not in the upcoming catalog and will not be available for purchase.
There are so many great projects included in this bundle! You get the same two stamp sets as above, and a third as one of the 3 free products. This stamp set will not be available for purchase in the catalog, so it you have to have it then this is the bundle for you. The Statement of My Heart is what Stampin’ Up! is all about, making a difference through creativity, something all crafters do.
It’s hard to see in this photo, but 4 of the prints include in this pack of specialty designer paper have a pearlized finish. It’s lovely in person. And, the pack includes 24 sheets (not the usual 12), 4 of each design. So, no more hoarding your paper – use it!!!
I had so much fun using all of the products I have making cards for you to see. If I had the the Lovely Floral embossing folder, I would have even more samples to show you. That folder is on my list for my next order.
The first card I copied from the very talented Stampin’ Up! Artisan team member Charlet Mallett. The other three are designs I came up with using products all from this Gotta Have it All bundle. The Specialty Designer paper are beautiful, they are hand painted designs and include 13 colors. So easy to match card stock with 13 colors! 
This is one of the Stampin’ Up! sample cards. The “Congratulations” was stamped with the Make A Difference Alphabet stamp set. You would never know they were individual letters! You may also notice that the card base is made with Mint Macaron. This color is returning and will be one of the 53 Stampin’ Up! colors!
My daughter baked some lemon cookies and my great aunt, who is 93, loves lemon. I packaged a few cookies in a cello bag and stamped the Statement of My Heart onto a piece of card stock to use as a tag. The statement does not have to be related to stamping, just something that you love to do creatively and worthwhile. She loved them!

More cards using the Stamp Sets
All of the above cards are made using bundle products only. But, you do not have to be limited to using only those products with these stamp sets!!! They work beautifully with ALL of Stampin’ Up! products and shouldn’t have limitations. These are just a few I came up with.
I have been asked over the years about making cards for Veterans. I think this last card works perfectly for this, red poppies are the symbol of Memorial Day and I think would lend themselves very nicely as a card for a veteran.
The Last Bundle – 2018-2020 In Color Ink Pad Collection
I am in love with these new In Colors! Lovely Lipstick, Grapefruit Grove, Pineapple Punch, Call Me Clover and Blueberry Bushel. They are bright & primary and work so nicely with the new and returning colors of the upcoming catalog. Stampin’ Up! did a color revamp and totally changed the color collections by moving some around, dropping some and bringing some new and returning colors back. I will post more soon about this color revamp, but I wanted to focus on the Share What You Love Bundles for this post.
As you will see, the ink pads look a little different. Along with the color revamp, Stampin’ Up! redesigned their ink pads. They open & close a little differently and they now include a de-foaming stabilizer in the ink so it no longer bubbles up. I will be doing a little video soon on the difference of the new pads. By the way, I love the new design! You can purchase this bundle of ink pads at 10% off for 33.75. Ink pad link.
Ok, I think I did it. I think I gave you all the information for the 4 bundles that you can purchase during the month of May. Remember, these bundles will not be bundled in the catalog that begins in June (except for the ink pads). Now is the time to get coordinating products while also receiving 1, 2 or 3 free products. If you have any questions about the bundles, please send me an email at christine@mailsomethingpretty.com. You can order directly on my online store by clicking the Shop menu option or by clicking on any of the links in this text. Thank you!!!!
