Stampin' Saturday Aug 23! Cards (and coffee) starts at 11:00

Stampin' Saturday will be Aug 23! Join the fun starting at 11:00, at my house! I did have to change the cards up a bit... the 2 designs I planned would have taken too long to complete by 2:00, so we will do a simpler 'guy card' this time, but I promise you it is still a great design! 😉

Card #1 features the Storybook Garden Patch, and this card lacks nothing! Embossing folders, sponging, veggies, ribbon and embellishments, all layered with a bit of his favorite "flannel" 😁

Card #2 is a gorgeous technique I cannot wait to share with you!!! We will be using the Glass Mat to start the magic! Next, an embossing folder and a wave of either the magic wand aka blending brush or a swipe with the ink pad, and *voila!* Isn't this magical?? Add some embossing powder, a flower from Gallery Blooms and the sentiments from Sweet Blooms and we are done! Isn't this just gorgeous!

    

Please let me know by Friday, Aug 22 that you are coming so I can have your materials ready!

Can't make it Sat but really want to create these cards? STAMP BY MAIL! $10 for 1, $15 for both (payable via Zelle, FB Pay, or paypal teachph@aol.com) Email or message me to let me know which cards you would like to complete. I will send you, the Monday following class, the tracking number, all the card stock cut, embossed, stamped, (and inked if you need me to), embellishments, detailed directions so you can create these again, and dimensionals if necessary. NO OTHER ADHESIVES WILL BE INCLUDED! Remember, the handmade backgrounds will slightly vary from pictured because of the personally created technique.

August 1 Stampin' News! PLUS - Stampin' Saturday date change THIS MONTH ONLY

 Hello, Sweet Stampin' Friends!

Happy August 1! I have so many great things to tell you about!! I am so excited!! And before you start scrolling, go ahead and mark your calendar for Saturday AUG 23 for Stampin' Saturday!! More about that down below.

FIRST: My Great Cycle Challenge Fundraiser for the Children's Cancer Research Fund

Sept is only 1 month away! Time for my annual Great Cycle Challenge Fundraiser for the Children's Cancer Research Fund!! 

My fundraising goal this year is $2500. and my mileage total goal is 200 miles. I donate 20% (the regular demonstrator discount/commission amount) of the cost of all kits, including Paper Pumpkin kits sold from my site to my fundraiser! I add to the balance all year and make the total donation in September!  Historically there has been a Match Day (Kick Cancer's Butt Day), so I like to drop it in my fundraiser on that date. It hasn't been announced yet if there will be one this year, so fingers crossed they find sponsors! 

Why? Because over 15,700 American children are diagnosed with cancer every year, and sadly, 38 children die every week. We need to flip that script. If you would like to help put an end to devastating childhood cancers, you can purchase a kit HERE or visit my donor page and make a secure online donation by clicking HERE (and follow my progress!) Want more info about the CCRF? HERE for some quick info, and THIS LINK to go straight to the Children's Cancer Research Fund website for the full scoop!

Second: A COMPREHENSIVE list of Online Exclusives!!

 I have been so bugged with not being able to really keep up with my materials, between the catalogs and online exclusives, it has just been difficult for me. Well, apparently, it wasn't *just me*, and they have decided to do what I have been hoping for; AN ONLINE PRODUCT LIST!! It will have pics, item #, and prices!! This list will be updated as new products are added and older ones removed. YAY!! First list will be available to customers when the September - December Mini=Catalog goes live!

THIRD: Shop the In Color™ Sale (and a Last Chance product refresh)

From August 5–31, select products that feature the new 2025–2027 In Colors are 15% off! Now’s the perfect time to refresh your craft stash with new colors— make cards using Strawberry Slush ink or add a bit of Timid Tiger cardstock to their scrapbooking projects! This sale is available only while supplies last, so don’t wait! You can start shopping on August 5! Also on Aug 5, the Last Chance list will be refreshed with some 2025 Sale - A - Bration items!

July Stampin' Saturday, Stamp By Mail, Scrapbooking and MORE!

 

Happy Independence Day, Sweet Stampin’ Friends!

Once the fireworks calm down, there is more for you to look forward to – Stampin’ Saturday! YES! Please plan on joining us at 11:00 on Saturday, July 19 to make one of the best fun folds ever – a ROLLED FRONT CARD, and then get inky (or, at any rate, get the paper inky) by creating a gorgeous sky! Let me know by Friday, July 18 you are coming so I can have your materials ready! As always, I only ask $5. *or* an order!!

Card #1 - a Rolled Front card! Yes, it goes flat to mail 😁 This card is a tad bit larger than normal, 5 x 7, so be prepared to make your own envelope. We are using the charming Charming Day Bundle (stamp set and dies) PLUS the Floral Charm Designer Series Paper. The Scoring Tool makes it easy-peasy to create the rolled front for depth and that WOW factor! This is a design you will use for every big celebration!

                                            

Card #2 - The stamp set Peaceful View is a view I just love! If you have been stamping with me for a while you know I love inking skies! Card #2 is gorgeous! We will be inking our sky, then heat embossing our image! Never inked a sky? It is so much fun!! No 2 will ever be exactly alike, just like no sunset is ever an exact do over, but *all* of them make you sigh with satisfaction.

                                    

Can’t make it on the 19? STAMP BY MAIL!! You will receive everything you need – both images and cardstock stamped/embossed (if needed) and cut, dimensionals if needed, necessary embellishments and very specific directions to complete your cards. All you need is your adhesive of choice. $10 for 1 card, and only $15 for both, payment via Zelle, FB Pay (friend me!) or PayPal (sent only as Friends and Family and no comments, or please include an extra $2.) to teachph@aol.com . Email me to choose which cards you wish to create.  Your kits will be mailed the Monday following class.
