Sunday Share - Our Kits Collection Make Great Road Trip Partners!

Happy Long Weekend – wherever you are I hope you are enjoying some good weather and time with family and/or friends – relaxing and recharging your way!! We are taking it easy and getting together with friends and family a couple of times for BBQ on the deck or eating out - a nice way to relax in our sunny weather.  Here’s some happy long weekend news for you!

For the entire month of August you can save up to 30% on amazing kits from the Kits Collection by Stampin’ Up! What are you waiting for? Start shopping and crafting now LOL! 

Follow the link in the picture above to choose your kits.  They are perfect for on the go projects and you will make enough cards that you won’t need to hit the $$$ stores anytime soon for those last minute needs.   This is a limited time offer you won’t want to miss.

Sales Period: August 1 -31st. The sale only applies to the Kits Collection by Stampin’ Up! (it does not include Paper Pumpkin kits).

Here’s a couple of the benefits of our kits (besides those awesome Kits Sale prices in August):

“I don’t have space for a lot of stuff!” Here’s the thing - kits are fun, quick and easy, and all-inclusive so there’s nothing extra to buy and nothing to store afterward.

“I’m not crafty” – well guess what?? After you try one of our kits, you’ll be singing a different tune!  Completing one of our kits for the first time will give you a real sense of artistic accomplishment – and if it’s not your first kit then you KNOW it’s going to be fun and fabulous!

“I’ve got nothing to do”.  Kids love the sense of accomplishment from creating their own cards and when they give them to a friend and can proudly say “I made this” there will be smiles all around!

"I need a hostess gift in a hurry!"  Completed kits make great gifts. You can make the projects and then gift them for someone else to use. Because kits come in so many styles and project types, there’s something for everyone. I’ve got a couple on the go right now that I make for my grandkids to use - usually we make them together but with moving and settling into our new place, we haven't done our normal travelling. .

Need more ideas – check out my store here and Facebook page too or message me for help with your project! Remember when you order online to use my current Host Code K6ZDA4MD when your order is under $200 to get in my month end draws – you never know when you could be the next winner! July’s winners of a package of Thick Basic White Cardstock each were April and Mary 😉. 

And if you earned Bonus Days Coupons in July then you can spend them anytime in August - don't let them expire!! They are easy to add to your order - cut and paste from your email to your order where it says "Manage Coupons".  

Happy stamping!

The Regency Park Suite Makes Stunning Cards - Canada Inks Up! Team Blog Hop

I'm "hopping" today with my Canada Inks Up! team friends to share some of the new products coming to you on January 5th. Not long to wait until you can purchase all the new products too (or you can join my team and start shopping before then - just one of the many perks of being a part of the Stampin' Up! family)! Check out each blog post and enjoy the sneak peeks from the new Spring Mini and Sale-a-bration flyer too!

I chose to highlight some of the Regency Park Suite products on p 30-31 today - especially the Petal Park Bundle and the Regency Park Designer Series Papers. I also used the Cane Weave 3D Embossing Folder and the Adhesive Backed Milky Dots on my cards. I took my inspiration from one of the concept artist designs but changed it up for my cards. I did lots of "stamping off" for both the flowers and the leaves. 

For my sentiments I turned to a Sale-a-bration Stamp Set called Beautifully Happy and used it on the front as well as the inside of my cards. It's a great stamp set with some two-step floral images as well as several sentiments for both the front and inside of your cards - something we are always asking for!!

Tip: When punching out images, use a small Post-it note to hold the cardstock - makes it easy to insert and line up your images before you punch! 

I usually make at least a couple of cards when I sit down to create - since I'm cutting the cardstock in half, I figure why not use both pieces now while I'm stamping, die cutting or punching?? Then I have cards ready when I need them instead of panicking at the last minute! 

There is still some time to shop the Last Chance items from the Holiday Mini - until January 4th or while supplies last so tick off those wish list items and get them before they are gone!

The Clearance Rack refresh from earlier this month still has loads of items available and you can shop that section while you are getting anything else . . . use my current Host Code on my blog sidebar and get in my draws for sharing Host Rewards - it's always fun to shop for free! 

You can shop my online store anytime - in any weather - and in pjs if you want - if you need help do message or email me so I can get you on the right track. Until next time . . . 

Happy stamping!

Sunday Share - A Slimline Sketch For You

I made up a sketch for a Facebook page challenge earlier this month and thought you might like to play along at home too - the sketch is from the Holiday Mini on p 64. I chose the right hand card as it has some layering and possible die cutting as well as a greeting and it was a fun slimline card for a change. 

The basic slimline card starts with a 7" x 8 1/2" card base, scored at 3 1/2". Did you know that Stampin' Up! has Slimline Envelopes #157981 in the Annual Catalogue on p 137? You can colour coordinate them with your card bases, or have a contrast. I opted for the plain white this time and added a strip of the DSP from each of the cards I'm sharing today. (Tip - you can also use your retired Envelope Punch Board to make your envelope from DSP or use a #10 Business envelope.)

My first card was an easy CASE from the catalogue sketch - one layer of Splendid Day Designer Series Paper glued to my card base, then a smaller layer of the Foil Design popped on top - love the shine from the foils!  I added a die cut element from the Splendid Stems Dies in Pool Party taking my colour choice from the DSP. I die cut two cardstock pieces for the greeting - one in Pool Party and the other in Basic White. The sentiment was stamped in Calypso Coral Ink to contrast with the other layers. It would be lovely heat embossed in Copper too.

My second card was to show how you can make a sketch into any type of card and I decided on a Christmas themed one - I don't know about you but I can always use more Christmas cards and any extras give me ahead start on next year's supply!  I had just received the Decorated With Happiness Bundle and decided to try using the three outline dies with the Distressed Gold Designer Series Paper (it's on p 139 in the AC and will be back in stock in the new year). The patterned paper is from the Celebrate Everything Host Rewards Pack in the Holiday Mini.  I loved how this card came out - it's so bright and happy - just the way a Christmas card should be 🙂🎄

There's still time to shop the Last Chance items from the Holiday Mini - you have until January 4th but only while supplies last . . .  so check your wish list and you might be surprised at the sale prices on many items! Click here to shop anytime!

The Clearance Rack had a BIG refresh at the beginning of December - lots of great bargains there for you to pick up any time! Order online and use my current Host Code 23PXNKQK to be in the draws at the end of the month for shared Host rewards - it's one way I say thank you for supporting me and ordering through me!

Need any help with your project? Message or email me and I'll do my best to help you - if you have shopped with me the past 6 months your Spring Mini and Sale-a-bration flyer are in the mail to you and might have arrived - you can start looking now and ordering on January 5th!

Watch for my newsletter email later this week with another quick sketch inspiration for you!

Happy stamping!

Sunday Share - Creating 12 Tags in 10 Minutes or Less For Holiday Gifts!!

This should have been a Sunday Share but I forgot to schedule it and only realized today that it was still waiting for me to hit that final button - so here it is just a bit late!! 

Are you needing some tags for gifts but don't want to run to the store to pick some up?  Check out my my pictures here for a really quick way to make your own tags at home - while using up some of your Christmas themed supplies.  They aren't the super fancy kind but they do the job well and most people don't keep tags do they?? 

Start with a sheet of 12" x 12" Basic White Cardstock and cut it down to 12" x 7". You will also need to get two strips of Christmas-y patterned paper 1 1/4" x 12" for each strip (I used the two sides from the Painted Christmas DSP carried over from last year). Glue the strips to the long outside edges of the cardstock - if there is a right side up on the design you want the outside edge to be the "top". 

Cut through the centre of the cardstock at the 3 1/2" mark so you have two pieces 3 1/2" by 12". 

Stack the two pieces so you can cut them into tag size two at a time. They will each measure 2" by 3 1/2". I did cut them slightly smaller than 2" so they would slide easily into my punch - punch the top of each tag using any punch on hand - mine is the retired Fancy Tag Topper Punch.

Stamp the To and From on each tag - I had room to add Merry Christmas to mine using the stamps from the latest "From The North Pole" November Paper Pumpkin kit. 

It's great to have a selection of exclusive stamps to use from the kits! Just one more reason to sign up for the kits each month - click the link here or message me for more info!

The last step is to add your choice of ribbon or twine to the top of the tag - I used Glue Dots to hold my ribbon in place, keeping it flat in case I want to mail some to a friend! 

It probably took me longer to write out the details than it did to make the tags LOL! I hope you will try to make some tags too as they are so quick and easy to make a bunch at once - and they do make a nice gift to give 💕🎁💌

The Last Chance Clearance is still on for the Holiday Mini but some items are already sold out - I'd recommend you shop online at my store so you don't have to wait for a group order this month and maybe miss out - and when you use my Host Code for orders under $200 I'll enter you in my draw near the end of the month for shared Host Rewards - an awesome deal for you!

Regular customers will get the new Spring Mini catalogue and Sale-a-bration Flyer in the mail near the end of the month - if you haven't ordered from me in the past 6 months, I will have a few catalogues here that you can pick up after Christmas. Just give me a quick call or message that you are on the way!

For more tag inspiration watch for my newsletter later this week where I'm sharing a traditional colour combination perfect for your gifting - a small gift box or bag of handmade tags makes a great little hostess gift to take to any party during the season or give to a co-worker or neighbour - especially to those who have admired your creativity all year long!!

Happy stamping!

Last Chance Holiday Mini and Clearance Rack Refresh

 

The July-December Mini Catalogue ends on January 4th, 2023, which means many products are retiring and won't be available for purchase after that date.

During our Last Chance List Promotion, you can pick up retiring products that are still on your wish list before they disappear. Some products are discounted up to 60% so check out the list now!

Click here to view a list of what's retiring and the products that are discounted. These items are only available while supplies last and I am sure some are going to sell out quickly.

Visit my online store to browse the retiring products. This is the easiest way to see which products from the retiring list are still available for purchase. When you shop online and your order is under $200 before shipping/taxes, use my current Host Code 23PXNKQK and I'll enter you in the draws at month end for shared Host rewards. It's always a fun time when I send a message to one of my shoppers that they have some Host dollars to spend!

And just so you know - some items from the July-December Mini Catalogue are not retiring and will still be available to purchase after the catalogue retires. While some will be listed in other catalogues (such as the upcoming January-April Mini Catalogue), some will only be listed in the online store. To make it easier to see what's still available, we have a list of these carry over products for you to download and I recommend you keep it with your catalogues so you can refer to it.

The other BIG Deal is the huge update of the Clearance Rack today - it's the best refresh I've ever seen so hop on over and check out these new deals while you can!! 

There are so many new items added to our Clearance Rack including dies offered during the Perfect Partners Promotion. With discounts of up to 60%, you can get the die sets that coordinate with the still-available stamp sets at a great price. There are also several different packs of Designer Series Papers so a perfect time to stock up at a great price too.  Products are only available while supplies last and can sell out quickly. Don't forget to add the coordinating stamp sets to your order at the same time!
Click here to view what's available and shop. 

So there you go - shopping just doesn't get any better than two ways to get your bargains!!  I'm not going to do group orders for these deals because holding orders for a deadline might mean you will miss out - and it's so easy to sign up for online shopping and if you use my links and Host Codes you get even more value! 

Happy shopping (and stamping!)

Sunday Share - Need Some Help to "Wrap It Up"??

Stampin' Up! has so many ways to help you wrap your gifts, gift cards and even create a gift of cards to take as a host gift during the holidays! And let's not forget how easy it is to make a bunch of tags in a hurry too - it only takes a few minutes to make a bunch of tags for all your gifting!!

Check out page 137 in the Annual catalogue, or page 75 in the July-December Holiday Mini and you'll  be ready to order your supplies to make some magical packages for your family and friends!

How cute is this mini box from the Tidings of Christmas Collection on page 88?  I made the topper from a  4 3/4” square (scored at 3/4”) to fit our Acetate Card Boxes so I could add some 3” x 3” gift cards and envelopes inside for a fun gift. 

I die cut some extra bits to decorate the cards and found the Season’s Greetings stamp from the Tidings & Trimmings bundle fit the top of the die cut stocking perfectly - I think the box will hold 4 cards and envelopes so I’m going to make a few for gifting!

Have you tried the Mini Paper Pumpkin boxes yet? They are so cute and will hold a few small treasures or treats for some lucky person! This idea came from the Holiday Mini p 21 and uses the Snow Wonder Stamps and Snow Time Dies (both retiring so get them soon!!).

I  used my Blending Brush and Mint Macaron ink for subtle shading over the entire box. I cut a piece of Whimsy & Wonder DSP 4 3/4” x 11” and added liquid glue to adhere to the flat box. There was a 1/4” to fold under the front edge. Then I gently used the box score lines to score the DSP with the Take Your Pick Tool small scoring end.  It folded up easily on the score lines! I added some colouring to the die cut snowman, then built the scene using Stampin' Seal and Dimensionals. I tied a bow with Linen Thread beside the snowman and added a bit of White Glittered Organdy Ribbon.

The Last Chance Clearance is on until January 3rd or until items run out so check your wish list and get your order in soon so you won't be disappointed.  Here's the link so you can start shopping right away. When you use my Host Code NPCJKCXS I can track your orders, send my thank you and put you into my draws for Host Rewards each month. If your order is $200 or more, don't use the Host Code as you will get your own Host Rewards - I'll still send you my thank you!!

Check my Events page on my website so you can be on my next Zoom class - last Craft and Chat for this month is Tuesday December 14th at 7:00 pm so let me know if you want the link!

Happy stamping!
