Leave a comment

I am currently rolling through revealing my 12 Dies of Christmas Kits in the Mail through my blog and Youtube channel. This is the Last Call for ordering these kits! Orders are due by Tuesday, December 28th, 5pm so I can unpack the supply tub when I arrive in the office the next morning. I’ll be sharing my January Kits in the Mail program and other exciting offerings later this week after the supply tub is unpacked. So make sure you have liked, subscribed and turned on notifications so you don’t miss any announcements!

What’s included in the 12 Dies of Christmas kits? Cardstock, patterned papers, embellishments, ribbons, treat bags and envelopes for you to recreate the projects. The how to videos are on my Youtube channel under the Playlist “12 Dies of Christmas.” So you can work at your own pace, savoring each kit for a once a day treat or having a marathon crafting session.

Split Circle Technique

Leave a comment

The split circle technique makes a quick and easy WOW design. Just remember to have contrasting colors for the circle layers. My design features the Snowflake Splendor pattern paper contrasted against the silver foil sheets.

Use the Stitched Shapes framelits for added interest. Metallic Mesh ribbon makes a nice bow. A row of silver Metallic Pearls adds the final details.

12 Dies of Christmas Starts Today!

13 Comments

The 12 Dies of Christmas Kits in the Mail ordering starts today! Each paper crafting kit will feature a different die cutting and coordinating stamp set from the annual or fall catalogs. The how to videos will be shared via Youtube links. So you can work at your own pace, savoring each kit for a once a day treat or having a marathon crafting session.

Included are 2 Zoom Open Houses on Friday, December 18th, 9:30-11am and 6:30-8pm. Stop in to share what you have created with your kits. Chat with other paper crafters across the USA. See a stamping demonstration too.

This will be somewhat of a mystery stamping experience for you. I am keeping the designs a secret, EXCEPT FOR THE ONE I AM UNVEILING TODAY IN THIS BLOG POST AND VIDEO LINK. I hope you like it!

Please note: You will need your own stamp sets, die sets, ink pads and adhesives to complete the kits. I will be including large pieces of papers to be used on the stamped and die cut pieces because most dies need stamping and then die cutting for a perfect look. The large sheets of papers are being included in case you don’t have exactly the dies I am using in a design. In addition, ribbons and embellishments will be generous so you will probably have extra to use on additional projects. Per Stampin’ Up! policy, stamped images can not be included in kits.

I am planning on using the following dies and coordinating stamp sets:

Celebration Labels dies and Celebration Tidings stamp set

Dino dies and Dino Days stamp set

Forever Flourishing dies and Forever Fern stamp set

Gathered Leaves dies and Gather Together stamp set

Halloween Magic dies and Hallows Night Magic stamp set

In the Woods dies and Winter Woods stamp set

Love You More Than dies and Nothing’s Better Than stamp set

Nature’s Roots dies and Rooted in Nature stamp set

Pets dies and Pampered Pets stamp set

Stitched Leaves dies and Love of Leaves stamp set

Sunflower dies and Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set

World Map dies and Beautiful World stamp set

Your 12 Dies of Christmas Kits in the Mail Box includes: 12 paper crafting kits with envelopes, 12 Youtube assembly videos, 2 Zoom Rooms and USPS priority rate shipping.

Sugar Cookie Social

4 Comments

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:)

Looking forward to stamping with you then!
