I look forward to hosting my Sugar Cookie Social in December so I can share my ugly sweater sugar cookies! The cookie cutter is my Mom’s so would bake a batch with her. She also has all the sprinkles:)
This year, I’ll be hosting my event via zoom. I’ll mail make and take packets with a few paper crafting kits. Then join in during one of my zoom calls to assemble them with my instruction and see what everyone else is creating using the kit contents and their supplies. The format is kind of a mystery stamping adventure too since I won’t share the designs prior to the socials.
How do you get an invitation to the event? If you have placed a product order greater than $50 (excluding shipping and tax) through my online store this year, I will automatically mail you a packet. Not sure if you placed a qualifying order with me? Click the Contact button on my blog and ask I check for you. OR…place a $50 or more order (excluding shipping and tax) on November 24th during the Merry and Bright Flash sale (details for that sale by clicking here) using host code MZXJJXH4 and that order will qualify you to receive a Sugar Cookie Social packet.
Zoom calls are Wednesday, December 9th, 9:30-11am and 6:30-8pm central time. Zoom call links will be emailed to you. Jump on the call time that works for you.
Last, let’s share our favorite, sweet, holiday treats during the call. Have it handy so you can show it on camera. It will be fun to see what cookies we like and what drinks we enjoy. Maybe next year we will be back to sharing my ugly sweater cookies in person:)
It’s filming day for my Black Friday Virtual Extravaganza. I know Tracy, Sandra and Elizabeth are working hard at preparing video and pdf tutorials to share with you too. We are each preparing 2 fabulous projects for a total of 8 tutorials. In addition, we will have 4 Zoom Rooms open across 4 time zones and 3 continents. You can pop in during any of the zoom sessions and see what other paper crafters are working on in their stamp space or what’s going on in their part of the world. They live in Australia, the United Kingdom and Canada.
The tutorial will be emailed around November 24th to give you time to gather supplies if you want to craft the projects on Black Friday during the Zoom Rooms. You can create along with us at a time and format that works for you with these tutorials. These are projects that will take your paper crafting to the next level. You will want a ticket just for the tutorials!
My Zoom Room with be open on Thursday, November 27th, 3-5pm, central time. Plenty of time for you to shop and then craft with me with some hot chocolate!

P.S. Here is my Youtube video to create the caramel apple card. Enjoy!
I’ll be clearing off my desk space so I can assemble these kits with you today at 2pm central through the One of a Kind Facebook group. They all feature angle cut cardstock so I called them my Angle Card Kits in the Mail. The Harvest Hellos stamp set and Apple Builder punch was used to finish the cards to create 4 different looks.
I still have kits ready for Monday shipping if you are interested in ordering a box. Each box includes 4 each of the 3 apple/pumpkin designs. That means you can share 3 cards of each design and keep 1 of each design in your idea file.
In addition, 1 Halloween kit and tutorial for this design is included too. I just could not resist including the Halloween design even though you might be receiving the box after Halloween! So that’s a total of 13 kits in the box.
PLEASE NOTE: I can swap out the Halloween design for the caramel apple finished card shown below. Please let me know if you would like the swap when you order your kit.
Order your box my clicking the Contact button at the top of my blog or PM me in Facebook and ask for the Angle Card Kits. I’ll send a PayPal invoice to your email address for $30. Shipping is USPS priority rate so the box should arrive to you within a few days of ordering. Porch Pick Ups from the Sun Prairie, Wisconsin area are available too.
PLEASE NOTE: To finish the cards according to the samples, purchase the following items from my online store by clicking on the words for the particular product. If you have a similar stamp set/punch in your stash already, those should work if they are about the same size as the Stampin’ Up! versions. I am including 1 punched pumpkin in your kit so you can trace around that on the included cardstock and cut out the shapes in case you don’t want to purchase the Apple Builder punch. You will need to use your markers to create the pumpkin veins and apple details if you don’t purchase the Harvest Hellos stamp set.
Assorted adhesives for piece assembly and scissors to cut the ribbons are needed too. Stampin’ Up! does not allow demonstrators to include stamped images in kits. So that is why you need to provide the stamp set, punch and ink pads. I’ll provide the papers for the stamped and punched images. I just can’t do that work for you. Last, your ribbons and patterned papers may arrive in assorted patterns and colors that are different from the sample photos. Thank you for understanding.
Here are links to my Youtube videos for the kit assembly in case you need to see how the angle cuts are created and piece measurements.
The Annual and August-December Mini Catalog can be downloaded through those images on the right side of my blog as well.

I’ll be in my stamp space on Black Friday. Working on holiday cards for sure. Also stamping with you on Zoom. Would you like to join Sandra, Tracy, Elizabeth and me in Zoom? We will have 4 Zoom Rooms open across 4 time zones and 3 continents. You can pop in during any of the sessions and see what other paper crafters are working on in their stamp space. Or discuss your Black Friday purchases. We know you want to buy some stamps from us:)
In addition to the 4 Zoom Rooms, your ticket includes video and pdf tutorials of 8 projects. The tutorial will be emailed around November 24th to give you time to gather supplies if you want to craft the projects on Black Friday. These are projects that will take your paper crafting to the next level. You will want a ticket just for the tutorials!
Your ticket price is as follows. You know me, I have to offer lots of options!
option 1 – $20 ticket paid via PayPal, no order requirement or product included
option 3 – Add on the consumable supplies to create my projects (patterned papers, cardstock, ribbons and embellishments): $10 via porch pick up and cash payment OR $20 via USPS delivery and PayPal payment. PLEASE NOTE:Option 3 is only available as an add on to option 1 and option 2.
I will be using the Snowflake Splendor Suite on page 37 and the Snowflake Adhesive Backed Embellishments on page 29 of the Aug-December 2020 catalog along with coordinating colored cardstock. So if you want to order that Suite, Embellishments and cardstock, you can skip option 3 because you will have the supplies needed for my project. I am using the stamp set and dies included in this suite to complete my projects. So make sure to have those on hand or use similar products already in your stash.
It will be fun to gather in the Zoom Rooms with stampers across the globe to make new stamping friends right from the comfort of your stamp space! Show us what you have made using the tutorials or what you are working on in the Zoom Rooms. Share your snacks too.
