ONLINE EXCLUSIVES LIVE!

Did you watch my Live on FB yesterday?  If you missed it, you can catch the replay right here.

In this video I shared three fun cards made using Online Exclusive products.  Every-other month Stampin' Up! shares new Online Exclusive products with us in the form of suites, bundles, stamp sets, punches, dies, ribbon, twine, and accessories.  These products are not in any catalog or publication, so you have to go online to see them.  Unfortunately, that means they are missed by many of us.  This Live features just a sampling of those products.  To see the whole Online Exclusive offering, be sure to visit my on line store at https://www.rubberroom.stampinup.net and search "online exclusives".
