**Anyone ready for a little sneak peek?**

Something brand new has been taking shape behind the scenes, and I’m excited to finally share a glimpse of the **September Inspiration Studio Guide** with you!

Inspiration Studio brings together **12 Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from the USA, Canada, and Australia**, each bringing her own creative style and ideas to the table.

The September Guide includes **12 exclusive projects** with full-color photos, measurements, supplies, and instructions so you can recreate the projects yourself.

These little glimpses are just the beginning. I can't wait for you to see all of the projects and discover the different ways our designers have interpreted the products.

The guide will be delivered right to your email inbox with a qualifying order through a participating Inspiration Studio Demonstrator, and I’ll be sharing more details soon.

For now, take a peek and tell me: **Which little glimpse has you most curious to see the finished project?**

September 1st is bringing lots of new creative possibilities! With new products, new classes, and plenty of fresh inspiration arriving, I have to ask...

Which September release are you most excited about?

Something new is coming in September, and I’m excited to finally share it!

I’m honored to be one of 12 Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from the United States, Canada, and Australia coming together for a new creative collaboration called Inspiration Studio.

Each month, we’ll create a full-color guide featuring 10+ projects, complete with photos, measurements, supplies and instructions. Twelve designers, three countries, twelve different creative perspectives—and lots of fresh inspiration to explore.

And I’m especially excited because one of my projects will be part of the very first guide!

The September guide is coming soon, and I’ll be sharing more about how you can earn your copy.

Create. Collaborate. Inspire.

Welcome to Inspiration Studio!

A little reminder about this month’s Product of the Month...

It may not be your style, and that’s okay. Not every special product is going to make all of us say, “I need that!”

But if this beautiful pearlized Designer Series Paper caught your eye, I wanted to make sure you knew you could choose it with a qualifying $75 order during August.

Sometimes it’s not about needing more supplies. It’s about finding that one thing that makes you want to sit down and create.

If this paper has been calling your name, August is your month.

Are you curious?

I mentioned that during our virtual Album Retreat, I found my new favorite tool. Now I want to know what YOU think it is.

A. Magnetic pick-up tool
B. Stamp Positioner
C. White gel pen
D. Blending brushes

What’s your guess?

I’ll reveal the answer soon… and I’m curious to see how many of you get it right!

Last weekend, we survived the smoke from the Little Giant Fire near the cabin. Not exactly the weekend we had planned!

But our saving grace? A super fun virtual Album Retreat that brought out the creative juices, challenged us to try new techniques, and, for me, introduced me to my new favorite tool.

And now, back to the point...

Did you notice that both the Album Retreat and Card Retreat are in the Last Chance section — AND they’ve been reduced in price?

I've participated in these virtual retreats, and they are such a fun creative experience. You get projects to work on, new techniques to try, inspiration, and the bonus of creating alongside other people without having to leave home.

If you could design your own virtual creative retreat, what would you want included?

More time to create? New techniques? A specific type of project? Or maybe just uninterrupted creative time?

A little Tip & Trick for your next project!

Have the perfect ribbon in mind, but not the perfect color?

Try starting with white ribbon or thread and coloring it to coordinate with your project. It’s a simple trick that can give you exactly the color you need.

I shared a quick video showing how I do it. Give it a try the next time your project is asking for that “just right” finishing touch.

I love when one package of paper can take you in several different creative directions.

This month’s Product of the Month has patterns that can do just that. Use the smaller, tighter designs as a background, or cut pieces from the more open patterns to create a focal point. And that pearlized finish? It adds just a little something extra without needing much embellishment.

I think this would be especially pretty on scrapbook pages where you want the paper to add interest without competing with the photos.

What would you make with it: cards, scrapbook pages, or something completely different?

One of my favorite parts of being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator is getting to share creativity with people who choose to create with me. I never take that support for granted, and I love finding little ways to say thank you.

This month, I have a special little gift to share with customers who reach $75 in their Stampin’ Up! order. It’s simply my way of adding a little extra joy to something you were already choosing for yourself.

Thank you for supporting my small business, for letting me be part of your creative time, and for choosing to shop with me. It truly means more than you know.
