With retiring products disappearing quickly and the new 2018-2019 30th Anniversary Annual Catalog launch just under two months away, now is this time to think about sharing what you love! I LOVE sharing homemade cards and paper-crafted gifts with others as I know it brings JOY to their life at that moment. Think about the many ways you can share what you love with others. Did you know that sharing what you love with others makes a difference in the lives of others?

Wondering What’s Retiring

Posted on April 9, 2018 by Beyond Beaches & Blessings

This past weekend, I took advantage of the opportunity to attend one of many Local OnStage events along with over 8,000 other demonstrators around the world. Those attending each event were able to view and receive the upcoming new 2018-2019 Annual Catalog which launches on June 1. I attended the OnStage event in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, taking time to enjoy some of the great activities Milwaukee has to offer while there like Lakefront Brewery and Tour, Miller Park where we watched the Brewers take on the Cubs (sorry Cubby fans), Milwaukee Brat House, and Mader’s German Restaurant which celebrates 116 years of serving its customers this year.

With the introduction of a new catalog comes the retiring of many of the existing Occasions and Annual Catalog products, as well as the retirement of the 2016-2018 InColors.  Stampin’ Up! announced a Color Revamp with the new Annual Catalog, so 13 existing colors (in ink, paper, markers) will also be retiring in addition to the 5 retiring InColors.  Below are the Last Chance lists of retiring products through May 31. However, many of these products will sell out much sooner as all retiring products are available only while supplies last. So, don’t delay, order your favorite retiring products today!

Click HERE to view and print the list of the retiring Occasions catalog products.

If any of the 13 Core Colors pictured below are among your favorites purchase them now before they sell out! Stock up on cardstock, ink pads/refills, and embellishments before it’s too late.

New Stamp Positioning Tool

Posted on November 14, 2017 by Beyond Beaches & Blessings

Stampin Up, Stamparatus, Card and Gift ideas designed by Demo Lynn Tague at BeyondBeachesandBlessings.com #BeyondBeachesandBlessings

It’s BIG NEWS when something breaks the mold and changes everything! Stampin’ Up’s new Stamparatus (stamp positioning tool) will change the way you and I stamp, and before long, we will wonder how we crafted without it!

Why do YOU need one? You’ll fall in love with stamping all over again when you learn everything you can do with it! I personally observed demonstrations of this new tool during OnStage Live in Salt Lake City, and you can trust me when I say, it is the most amazing stamp positioning tool available.

  • Make multiples with ease
  • Consistently stamp crisp, clean images
  • If you want a darker impression, apply more ink and re-stamp—no need to start over with a new sheet of paper
  • Make fewer mistakes, saving time and money
  • Easily create 2-step, 3-step, and 4-step stamped images using reversible plates
  • Develop new and specialized stamping techniques with adjustable stamping plates and precision placement – Hinge Step stamping technique – this is simply amazing!

Want more product details? Take a look at this list of product details and check out the photos at the bottom of this post. 

  • Compatible with Stampin’ Up!’s clear mount red rubber and photopolymer stamps
  • Foam mat to use with photopolymer stamps
  • Rulers and grid-lines for quick measuring
  • 2 open sides so you can stamp on larger paper
  • 2 reversible plates providing you with a total of 4 surfaces to work with
  • 2 magnets to hold the paper in place
  • Magnet storage areas
  • Retail Price–$49.00 USD

Check out this video from Stampin’ Up to learn the 5 amazing things you need to know about Stamparatus!

YOU have to get one, so how do YOU get in line? With the launch of this fantastic tool, Stampin’ Up is trying something different: testing a new product reservation system. It acts like a true preorder – you reserve your spot and we guarantee shipment as soon as the product arrives in our warehouse. Customers and Demonstrators alike can place reservations and receive their product at the same time. So, you and I can experience our new Stamparatus tools together at the same time. This process will allow us to get the product to YOU as quickly as possible while avoiding back-orders and efficiently managing inventory.

The global launch will feature three reservation windows. For each window, please note the following:

  • Reservation quantities are while supplies last.
  • 1 tool per customer per reservation window.
  • You may participate in multiple reservation windows.
  • In order to reserve your Stamparatus, you are required to provide your credit card information.
  • Credit cards will not be charged until the Stamparatus ships from our facility.
  • When you close your order, be sure to verify your credit card and shipping information is correct.

When are the reservation windows? As I mentioned earlier, there will be three windows, they are as follows.

  • November 16 – 30, 2017, with shipment available approximately February 1, 2018
  • December 5 – 30, 2017, with shipment available approximately March 19, 2018
  • January 15 – 30, 2018, with shipment available approximately April 15, 2018

Why order from me? Once you’ve placed your reservation, I’ll help you track when your Stamparatus will arrive and I’ll send you a special handmade card with instructions on how to replicate the card using your brand new Stamparatus. This special “thank you” gift from me will arrive just in time for the delivery of your new Stamparatus. You won’t want to miss out on this wonderful opportunity.

So, don’t delay, reserve your personal Stamparatus beginning with the first reservation window which opens on Thursday, November 16, at 3 PM (Central Time). And, if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Are YOU ready to reserve your Stamparatus?

  1. Click here beginning November 16 to reserve your Stamparatus
  2. If you do not have an online account with me you will need to do that first. Here’s the information you need…
  • Lynn Tague
  • Demo ID 2167254
  • West Des Moines, IA 50265

May you always have a seashell in your pocket and sand between your toes.

Blessings,

Lynn

2017 Holiday Catalog Another Peek

Posted on August 5, 2017 by Beyond Beaches & Blessings

What a week this has been! On Tuesday, my father suffered a stroke. Luckily, his secretary at work recognized what was happening and called 911 immediately, and the local Fire Department and EMS personnel responded quickly. We can’t thank all of these people enough; without their help, my dad may not have experienced the outcome he did! My dad is now home and learning to cope with the lingering physical effects which we hope will improve with time. Then yesterday, a special friend passed away after a long, inspirational, and courageous battle with cancer. I will miss her dearly and am blessed that God provided me the opportunity to know her and to love her. I will never forget her beautiful smile, delightful personality, and courageous spirit.

Earlier this week, I promised to return with a few more videos featuring new products from the upcoming new 2017 Holiday Catalog. I hope you will accept my apologies for the delay and will enjoy these next few videos.  Click here to view the videos I posted on Tuesday, if you haven’t already viewed them.

The first video features the Snowflake Sentiments Bundle. This bundle is definitely on my wish list, as I love snowflakes and they are so versatile! I also think is pairs nicely with the Year of Cheers Suite.

This next video features the Hearts Come Home Bundle. This bundle creates beautiful cards and may look a little familiar to you as it reminds me of last year’s November 2016 Paper Pumpkin kit. I ordered extra refills of the kit because the cards were so pretty.

And, finally, I’d like to share the video for the Smitten Mittens Bundle. I think you will enjoy this cute set as well.

I definitely have my favorites from the new 2017 Holiday Catalog. From the three videos I have shared with you today, which product bundle is your favorite? Leave me a comment below and let me know which bundle you like the best. I love to hear your feedback!

Speaking of favorites, don’t miss out on my 2017 Holiday Catalog Product Shares. Click here for all the details on these shares and to learn about the FREE bonus items available with the “I Want It All” Share. I will only be offering 25 Product Shares, so reserve yours today. This is a great way to get a sampling of all the new Designer Series Paper, Ribbon, and Embellishments from the new holiday catalog, at an economical price.

2017 Holiday Catalog & Product Shares

Posted on July 30, 2017 by Beyond Beaches & Blessings

Stampin Up, 2017 Holiday Catalog, Product Shares, Card and Gift ideas designed by Demo Lynn Tague at BeyondBeachesandBlessings.com #BeyondBeachesandBlessings

The 2017 Holiday Catalog goes live on September 1, just a little over a month from now and I have some exciting news to share with you! I am offering 2017 Holiday Catalog Product Shares this year! There are so many wonderful new products, you’ll likely want them all, like me!  Shares are a great way to get a little of everything…

Why participate in my Product Shares program?
Shares are an inexpensive way to sample the new Designer Series Papers, Ribbons, and Embellishments at a fraction of the cost than you’d spend to purchase all of them yourself. Customers and Demonstrators alike love having a little bit of everything from the new catalog, without investing in the full cost of buying every new product.

When you see that adorable card on Pinterest, you’ll be able to re-create that special card because you bought the “I Want It All” share! If you purchased each individual new product yourself that is included in the “I Want It All” share, it would cost you $203.50 plus shipping and tax!

How My Product Shares Program Works

  1. Simply CONTACT ME and tell me which share(s) you would like to purchase.
  2. I will then invoice you through your email address using my Apple Point of Service Square account, or you may send me a check.
  3. Your papers will be carefully and lovingly wrapped to protect them; ribbons will be rolled; and embellishments will be placed into small plastic bags.
  4. Your shares will be sent out via the US Postal Service in Priority Envelopes with tracking.

Please note my paper shares are 6″ x 12″ for most paper designs. Many demonstrators provide you with a 6″ x 6″ piece of Designer Series Paper, so you are getting twice as much paper when you purchase my shares (enough for up to three A2 size cards).
