Brenda Fertitta, Stampin' Up! Demonstrator
Hi! My name is Brenda Fertitta and I am a Stampin' Up Demonstrator in Mandeville, Louisiana (North Shore of New Orleans). I have grown to love Stampin' Up! products because of the quality of products and color coordination.
I have always loved to make things and have dabbled in many things, such as drawing, painting, sewing, needlepoint, etc. I have been scrapbooking for 18 years and started stamping in 2013.
I started my KZread channel to share my ideas and creations. I hope you like my videos! If you like what you see, I hope you will like and subscribe, and of course, don't forget to tell your friends!! You can also follow me on Facebook with the link below. Feel free to comment and/or ask questions!

@everyone I just found out through the grapevine that there WILL be Halloween DSP coming out with a new scrapbooking line that is coming out. I will make another video as soon as I know more!
They keep cutting back, gonna loose a lot of us older people, which is most of their customers 😢
@@virginiachristiansen7133 I know, I hope they listen to everyone's concerns
Seems to me S.U. is whittling down their offerings.
@@paulaolson8956 yeah, I am not sure what to make of it all.
Congrats
@@MyTacklebox.5 thanks for watching!
Thanks for the heads up about fall and Halloween. I only celebrate Christmas from Dec 24 thru January 6 so I don't need 200 Christmas stamps. And I only do Christmas with religious stamps. Like with the annual catalog (I spent just $60), it looks like I'm saving even more $$ in fall. 😂😂
@@DebbyinKansasUSA yeah there isn't much for religious Christmas either! I failed to mention that. Only one set and I am not crazy about it.
The card sample is great! Thank you for the giveaways😊
@@randimalone8042 thank you and you're welcome!
Congratulations to the winners! Brenda, you’re very welcome for the cards and napkins. It’s just a small token of thanks for all you share. I think the card is really pretty that you made. I love this giveaway; what a great idea to use for determining colors and card bases. Have a blessed day! 🙂🙏
@@barbaras8932 thank you, you too!
Very disappointed in this mini catalog. It's as difficult to find things as the annual catalog. I certainly hope they listen to the demonstrators and go back to the old style. The Online Exclusives are great. The Halloween sets are cute and the Christmas suites are beautiful but it makes it really difficult to plan classes using them. We have no idea how long these products will be available. If I order products for a Holiday class now by the time I have my class in October they may be gone. Did anyone notice the 3D haunted house pictured in the new mini? Is this an upcoming kit?
@@patriciasalhoff6667 I think online exclusives are around for about a year so you should be good. I did not notice the haunted house...perhaps they are coming out with kits? I too hope they change the catalogs back.
Congratulations to the winners of today's drawings. I absolutely love that quilted flag card! Snail mail is so much fun.
@@orchardgirl4785 It is pretty, isn't it?!
@@brendafertitta857 Yes, mam.
Congratulations ladies !
@@kathyhall2831 thanks for watching, as always!
I was disappointed that there wasn't more Halloween and Fall stuff, it seems to be mostly Christmas. But still, the stuff that is in there is pretty cool! PS totally unrelated but I love your ring, is that a mother's ring?
Aww! Thank you. Yes, it was my Mama's Mother's Ring. I have loved it since I was a little girl and I inherited it. Thanks for watching!
Bummer😢. Fall is my favorite!!!
There is a beautiful autmun DSP coming out called Splended Autumn, you will probably love it!
Not worried about Halloween don't do it. Not as big here in Australia as USA.
Yeah, it doesn't bother me either but some people really like it. Thank for watching!
I totally agree with you on all the points you made, especially the catalog at a glance section. I don’t like the new annual catalog, nor this new mini that is coming out. While I’m not huge on Halloween, I always buy one of the sets, which I did with the online exclusives, but very surprised there was no dsp, ribbon, or embellishments. I usually purchase quite a bit from this upcoming catalog, but in all honesty, I’m quite disappointed with much of the catalog. Of course, I know when I watch your videos and those of other demonstrators, you will change my mind. 😊
@@barbaras8932 yeah, it is bit odd. I like a lot of the sets coming out but like I said, I LOVE Christmas!
I love using card kits at home and while I am traveling. Thank you for the great share.
@@orchardgirl4785 thank you!
Great idea to share that info about Halloween dsp, etc. I am not a big fan of Halloween. Have made scrapbook pages of grandson in his costume, but that’s about it. Love, love that vintage look paper you talked about. Honestly, I found more products to love than I had expected. Some gorgeous ribbon and embellishments as well. Also love the fall suite you mentioned. Thanks again for this info!
@@Faith-TNUSA you're welcome! Yes, I love a lot of the items! Can't wait to pre-order!
I am so disappointed in the new catalog coming out! Not a lot to choose from on the on-line exclusives for Halloween or Thanksgiving. No DSP for Halloween. I create a lot of 3D projects for shut-ins at our church and family members. Not having the section of the catalog at a glance is disappointing too! The print is so small for us "maturing" people! :) It's hard to find things in the catalog with the way they are doing it now. Trying to be patient as SU is making all these changes, but WOW!
@@deanettelinville6010 I know! We need to be sure they know how we feel. Hopefully they will change the catalog back!
I couldn't have said it better ! I'm VERY disappointed.
@@user-qe3nv1ow7u So sorry.
I’m disappointed that there is no Halloween but more disappointed that they did away with the catalog at a glance. I like some things about the new look of the annual but there are things I don’t like as well. One thing is that the stamp index print is really too small. I think they forget that a lot of their customers are older! Thanks for the info.
@@carolynmanning76 agreed! I created a large print index a few months ago and offered it as a free download. Did you see that?
@@brendafertitta857 no, I guess I missed that. I can’t change things from pdf to Word doc where I can change size of print. Do you still have it to share?
@@carolynmanning76 I do, I just have to find it! I will post the link when I find it.
@@carolynmanning76 The download link is in the description of this video, as well as one for a quick reference guide. I also have an embellishment download that has the description and colors listed. kzread.info/dash/bejne/l2iT25eHe67Acqg.htmlsi=J8IE6_eKQx1jUGJB
@@brendafertitta857 hi, Thanks for the download. I had a heck of time trying to print it but ended up copy & pasting the Stamp Set index to Word then I was able to print that. Fo some reason, Google would not let me just print those few pages and I didn't need all of the pages. Where there's a will there's a way, lol. Thanks again, much appreciated.
I'm so sad 😞 I made a suggestion in the suggestion box to SU. I was hoping for Halloween 🎃 DSP
@@shannonhiggs812 yeah, I think it is a bit odd...I think a lot of people will be disappointed.
Brenda, these notecards are gorgeous. Each one of them is beautiful. You are so talented! 🙂
Thank you so much!
So beautiful! Thank you for sharing
Thank you so much!
What set is your sentiments from?
@@KarensKreations "Beach Day" stamp set from Stampin' Up! You can find a list of everything I used for the card in the description of the video. Thanks for watching!
You are a paper crafter kin. I paper save like you.

@@kathyhall2831 thank you so much! And you're welcome!
Beautiful, beautiful cards Brenda. You give such perfectly detailed videos. Thank you for sharing. 🙂
Thank you so much! I really love how they turned out! You're welcome and as always, thanks for watching! ♥
Were they in with school supplies? Or where? I'm in Iowa ... hope they have them here!
In my store, they were with the teacher supplies. Iowa?! Where in Iowa? I am originally from Iowa and was just up there a month or so ago! :)
@@brendafertitta857 - Ottumwa ... it's in the southeastern part of the state - not far from the Missouri border! Where were you at in Iowa? Our town is preparing for Thursday's onset of Ragbrai riders!
@@bevstokes4851 I was just visiting last month, so am not living there. I grew up just outside of Cedar Rapids
@@brendafertitta857 - Ah, not that far from here! Thanks for showing us all the marker storage!
@@bevstokes4851 You're welcome!
Oh no!! What happened after the camera shut off?
LOL! They were fine! I have to admit though, they were a little intimidating though! But I think they are just used to being fed and wanted food. We may go back and feed again.
Oh, thank you for for sharing these ideas! I will have to go to dollar tree tomorrow. Your Christmas card is lovely as well.
Thank you so much! And thanks for watching!
Years ago I used to go to this place in NJ with my parents and there would be lots of geese. We used to love watching them and feeding them. Thanks for making me smile by remembering with this video. 😊
YOu're welcome! We love feeding at our local ponds so when we travel, if we can, we find somewhere to go feed! :)
So funny !
Isn't it? I was shocked as they do not know us! LOL!
The card you made out of that lovely DSP is so pretty. The color combos in the DSP aren't ones I'd normally put together but you sure made the most of them. I hope your birthday month is everything you'd hoped for.
Thank you so much and thanks for watching!
Thanks for info!!!💜
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Happy Birthday month Brenda. Leaving a comment for a chance to win the on line exclusive DSP.

Thank you so much Brenda. Can’t wait to try watercoloring with the watercolor paper. Love the DSP in your next giveaway and look forward to seeing you make the card; it’s so pretty. Have a blessed day! 🙂🙏🏻
You're welcome! And congrats!
Hi I’m in the uk so don’t think it’s feasible for you but just wanted to say the papers are gorgeous and I love the card you did 😊
Thanks for stopping in and watching! Yeah, I am not sure how much it would cost to send to the UK. If I draw your name, I will still send you something! :)
@@brendafertitta857 Bless you thank you that's very kind xxxx
@@MegaSaffi no problem 😊
Love the zinnias!
