A Little About Me
- Stamping With Serena aka Reenybeanies
- Burnaby, BC, Canada
- Hi My name is Serena also known as "Reenybeanies" I became a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator because I enjoy Stamping and Crafting. I love being part of a company that inspires my creativity with exclusive stamps and accessories! I Joined Stampin'Up! in 2004 as a Club member I loved it so much spending time with new friends just sitting and talking and of course learning new and exciting techniques so I decided to become a demonstrator so that I could teach people the exciting world of Rubber Stamps. Where you can create Cards, Scrapbook Pages, Home Decor, Books, and More! its just not a craft its a time to spend a little time on you. I also wanted the versatility of having my own home business. I love being part of a company that allows me to plan my business around my schedule. If you want more information about Stampin’ Up!’s exciting products, or about Stampin’ Up!’s unique business opportunity, please contact me either through email or by phone. I can't wait to talk to you and share some fun and exciting projects.

Incorrect Measurement on the Envelope Punch Board
Stampin'Up! have noticed that one of the envelope measurements on the Envelope Punch Board is incorrect. The dimensions for the 5-1/2" x 8" card size envelope are 1/4" too small. The correct envelope measurement for this card size is: 10-5/8" x 10-5/8" (paper size); 4-3/8" (score line). The Envelope Punch Board still functions perfectly and we have corrected the measurement chart on the punch board. New labels are available through Demonstrator Support, if you would like one. Or contact me and I will get you one. reenybeandesigns-stampinup@shaw.ca
Special reminder for Stampin' Up! cards:
These envelope measurements are meant for simple cards, without a lot of dimension. At Stampin' Up! we love adding dimension to our cards, but that can make the envelope a bit snug. So, if you need an envelope to fit your cards with lots of flair, go up an envelope size (or two) for the perfect fit.

Pop & Place Holiday Gift Tags and Stamps
October 4, 2013
Stampin' Up! has just released information about their new Pop & Place Holiday Gift Tags. These pre-printed gift tags come in a booklet of 70+ tags in five different designs.
These tags are perfect for this season, especially for those of you who may not know which punch or die shapes you're interested in buying to make your own tags.
They also make perfect hostess gifts - "think for the hostess who has everything", or how about ordering two sets of tags, because the basics will last for a long time, but the tag sets will only last until December 31st, 2013 and then they are gone forever.
So here are a few options you can choose from depending on your needs:
