One of a Kind Craft Along Details Here

Look at these fun, fancy fold hand stamped greeting cards! I bet you have seen nothing like them before! That’s because these are my original designs. I like to wow and surprise with unique folds, pops of color and fun embellishments too.

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.

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 don’t delay, order today! The One of a Kind virtual event where I will be sharing the how to video is coming up quick on November 7th. I need time to cut supplies and do an assembly line of the pieces to create the kits:) It’s just me in my stamp space creating the kits.

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.

Here is what I used to finish the card kits:

Harvest Hellos stamp set, Apple Builder punch, Real Red ink pad, Real Red reinker, Granny Apple Green ink pad and Pumpkin Pie ink pad.

Assorted adhesives 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. Thank you for understanding.

If you are not interested in my Angle Card Kits, how about joining me and a few other demonstrators for a virtual Black Friday event? Details for this event can be found by clicking here.

The Annual and August-December Mini Catalog can be downloaded through those images on the right side of my blog as well.

World Card Making Day is Here!

I started the weekend with a Friday Night In Online Retreat. It was fun and the time went fast! Today, I am sharing how to create these pocket cards during the One of a Kind virtual event. My time slot is 3:15pm. The Facebook Live video will go quick too! That’s what I like about papercrafting. I could create all day and never realize how much time has passed since I last ate;)

I have 10 boxes of these pocket card kits ready to ship on Monday. Would you like a box? It includes supplies to make 12 pocket cards with assorted designs and embellishments. Kits shipped on Monday will include the super fun gilded pumpkin design and either a kitty cat themed or puppy dog themed designs. Let me know whether you want the kitty cat or puppy dog print included when you place your order. If you want both pet designs, let me know that and I’ll swap one of the other designs for it.

Here is a closer look at all those luscious patterned papers, ribbons and embellishments included in 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 World Card Making Day Kits. I’ll PayPal invoice you for $28 and get your kit shipping to you promptly. Porch Pick Ups from Sun Prairie, Wisconsin available too.

Here is a fun photo of all the punches I used to create the kits…

Help Me Avoid Housework!

Welp, I have carpet cleaning on the schedule for this weekend which I’ll gladly push off to a different fall day. It’s a little early to get the house ready for the next season anyway:) I would like to instead prep kits for you! I have 3 virtual events where I can help you push off your fall cleaning too;) Maybe the dust bunnies will skitter away on their own. A girl has to have dreams!

But seriously, I have a Friday Night In planned with my co-host Tracy from Australia on October 2nd, 6-8pm. Yes, it’s next week! I ship USPS 3 day so order as late as Monday night and the kits should arrive to you in time. If not, videos will be available on replay. Click on the photo below for the Fall and Spring Fling Online Retreat details.

October 3rd is World Card Making Day. Gather with me virtually to create these greeting cards/party favors/gift card holders. Click the photo below for details.

If you are already thinking into the next season for your greeting card making needs, my Canadian co-host, Elizabeth and I will be showcasing the Snowflake Splendor Suite during our Sunday afternoon Up North Stamp-a-Stack retreat. Click the photo below for details.

Your kit order helps me avoid the dust bunnies, even for a little bit and every kit order helps me stay in business. So please share these stamp-at-home opportunities with your paper crafting friends! Thanks and looking forward to stamping with you then!

Forever Greenery Suite Showcase

I prepared a very large pile of Forever Greenery paper crafting kits in my stamp space in Wisconsin over the course of 4 days for the Stamp and Scrapbook Expo Mega Make-n-Take event. Yes, it takes me that long to assemble the kits! It’s just me cutting and scoring cardstock, sectioning out ribbon lengths, calculating how many sheets of patterned paper to cut and then checking twice so I cut in the right place!

The kits were shipped via USPS to the Stamp and Scrapbook Expo headquarters in California where the crew there did the final gathering of kits from the other vendors into shipping boxes. Then, it was on to your house! I hope you enjoy creating along with us today.

If you missed getting a kit, I have 2 Online Retreats in October where you pre-purchase the kits from me. Then, join us online for the retreat from the comfort of your own home. Fall and Spring Fling Friday Night In is October 2nd with a mix of the 2 seasons because my co-host is located in Australia! Click here for details.

Up North Stamp-a-Stack is all about the Snowflake Splendor Suite. My co-host is from Canada so we opted for an up north theme. Join us on October 18th for a fun afternoon. Click here for details. I hope you can join us for one or both retreats. Registration fee is discounted when signing up for both retreats at once. Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators are welcome to attend and could be the starting point for you to offer your own retreats.

Now back to what I am showcasing during the SSE event today. Here are three potential designs included in the kit from me.

My video segment is at 2:30pm central time today and can be viewed via these Stamp and Scrapbook Expo at home links:

Announcing Fall and Spring Fling Online Retreat!

I am so excited to announce that I have partnered with my favorite Australian Demonstrator friend to co-host a Fall and Spring themed Online Retreat!

Your retreat includes 8 make-n-take packets, 2 each of the 4 designs shown in the photos below. Did you know it’s fall season in the USA and spring season in Australia? So we decided to visit both seasons on our retreat.

Please Note: you will need to use your own stamps, inks, adhesives and embossing folders to finish the kits. Everything else is included. Plus you will get a Super Awesome Pillow Gift and thank you card in your box.

After the retreat is over, a pdf tutorial of all the make-n-take projects and the bonus, surprise projects will be emailed to you so you will have all the dimensions and supplies used to recreate the projects in your stamp space.

Content will be broadcast via Youtube, Zoom and a private Facebook group. Please make sure you can access Zoom and join the private Facebook group for the best experience. The Zoom link will be sent a few days prior to the event. An invitation to join the private Facebook group will be sent once your registration has been paid. If you can only access Youtube and have an email address to send the pdf tutorials to, you are still welcome to join us!

Last, October 2nd is World Card Making Day Eve, so you will be set for getting some cards in the mail on October 3rd to celebrate World Card Making Day! I also planned this retreat for a Friday night so it’s more of a Night In event to start the weekend right!
