Last Day for Spring and SAB Catalog Mailing Sign Up

Leave a comment

Good Morning! I really like Monday mornings in my stamp space. I reorganize my priorities for the week and place the urgent items on my to do list for today. Well, today is the last day I can ask the home office to deliver the new Spring catalog and Sale-a-bration brochure directly to your snail mailbox. It makes delivery simpler for me but also costs a bit more to have the catalogs mailed from the home office.

If you have placed a $50 or more order with me in 2020, you will receive the catalogs towards the end of December. Like magic, they will appear as a fun surprise just when you need it. Tuck them to the side of your easy chair and enjoy with a cup of cocoa.

I’ll be submitting my mailing list at 3pm central time today. So you have a few hours to get on my “nice” list. An easy way to get on my “nice” list is to purchase a Paper Pumpkin subscription to gift to someone that might need a little paper crafting surprise in their mailbox too. Click the photo to zoom to my online store to purchase a 3 month subscription. Other subscription options are listed below the photo.

1 month subscription (which won’t earn you the free Spring and SAB catalogs)

6 month subscription

12 month subscription (you earn host rewards with a 12 month subscription, the best deal!!!)

So I have this blog post written so I can check that off my list. Next up is designing for my 12 Dies of Christmas Kits in the Mail. Did you sign up for this offering yet? Details can be found by clicking here.

Thanks for stamping with me!

Thank You So Very Much

I had wanted to do a Facebook Live yesterday but it kept getting moved to lowered on the to do list. Today, I decided to film early so the same thing would not happen. I created this paper rosette to decorate a gusseted bag during the video.

After filming, I decided I did not like the craft cardboard on the back side. So covered it with calypso coral cardstock from my scrap basket.

The sentiment seems appropriate to thank all those that ordered during the flash sale that was yesterday and today.

In case you need some crafting company over the next few days, here is the assembly video and craft along with me!

Hope you have a nice holiday filled with your favorite things. Me, I have sushi on the menu complete with ginger that is pickling overnight. I decided that this is a year for trying new things, so let’s make a fun meal. Besides, cornish hen was made last week and that is almost like a turkey.

Catch you on the other side for my Black Friday Virtual Extravaganza!

Forever Greenery Suite Showcase

Leave a comment

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:
