It's November! We get an extra hour to craft!

 Hello, Sweet Stamping Friends!

Happy Month of Being Thankful! As the stamp says, When I count my blessings, I count you TWICE!

Time 'falls back' tonight, so we get an extra hour to craft!! YAY!! Check out our  KITS COLLECTION! 3 new kits have just dropped!! Our all-inclusive kits are a perfect stocking stuffer (or gift) for the crafter in your life - or even just a little something for yourself! There is a really cute kit for you to help you turn your festive moments into a cherished keepsake - the  Remembering Christmas kit!. With plenty of space for photos and journaling, you will create a festive mini-album filled with your Christmas highlights. You will combine die cut letters, holiday patterned paper, and fun ephemera like bows, stars, and stockings create the merriest of albums to enjoy year after year. Create one for each family member!

Remember - you get 10% of all your purchases, starting at $20, banked into your Rewards account to spend anytime you want during the next 12 months! AND 20% of the price of every kit is banked to add to my annual September fundraiser for the Children's Cancer Research Fund!

There is a new Online Stampin' Up Craft Class coming up Nov 20, 2 pm MT, using the Brushed With Beauty Suite. The suite will be available for purchase Nov 4, and registration begins then! You will have lifetime access to the recording, which is accessible via a FB page. $30 registration fee, and does not include the products.

I hope you join me for the final Stampin' Saturday of 2025 Nov 15, at 11:00! (There will NOT be a Stampin' Saturday in December but will return in Jan!)  As always, only $5 OR an order and make 2 cards - but if you are on my team, come stamp for free! Bring a friend and get a special little something! We will wrap up the year with a beautiful but simple card using the Shepherds Care stamp set. I love this one - the shepherd is bathed in the glow from the Star of Bethlehem. What is the secret for the glow? Come Nov 15 (or Stamp By Mail!) to find out!

The second card makes me feel like "home". Rustic Centerpiece is a surprisingly versatile set! Check out my previous BLOG post (or come to Stampin' Saturday Nov 15!) to see a few extra pics! This card is a special SLIDE card!! Forget Belly Bands - the image itself holds the card closed! Super easy and cute! You can use this design for any set or reason! You *will* want to know how to make this one!

Can't make it? Stamp By Mail!! For only $10, I will send you *all of the materials needed to create one of these cards in your own home! Want to do both? Only $15! The card kits will be mailed Monday, Nov 17. * Only dimensionals will be sent, NO OTHER ADHESIVES will be included. Message me to choose your card/send your address and payment is accepted through cash in the mail, Zelle, or PayPal me at teachph@aol.com

Of course, I have a *new* video on YouTube! I guess I have a few good alternate ideas for using Paper Pumpkin kits, and usually a fun fold! Thanks for helping me get to over 900 subscribers! I would love to hit 950 for New Years 😀Just click HERE to give it a view - and some love! Feel free to share it 😁 

Before I say Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, I want to share some adorable Halloween cards I received! Thanks so much for these!

Adorable little spook! Thanks, Robin!

A Z-card with a cute popping feature! Debbie always does something clever!

Everyone loves a flip card! Frankie got this one just perfect!

Until next time, keep making the world a beautiful place!

You can't go wrong with SHEPHERDS CARE and RUSTIC CENTERPIECE!

 I have been having such a great time using these 2 sets! We will be making 2 of these cards Nov 15 at Stampin' Saturday! Which 2 would you pick? Don't live close so you want to order a kit? Pick a card (sorry, not the box) and for $10 ($5 for each additional) and I will send you everything you need*, plus directions, ready to color and assemble. *No adhesives will be included. Want to create the box? That one is a bit "finagl-ey", definitely not for beginners, but I will send you all the materials and directions for $15. Papers may vary. The ones used in the photo are retired.

First up is the Shepherds Care stamp set! You don't even have to use any inks to color him - you just get a perfect card (or votive holder card) every time! 

Just look at these gorgeous cards! And with no coloring needed, so quick and easy to make a stack! The Pretty Peacock easel card is done with our new Vellum, so make a perfect votive candle holder! You can get the stamp set HERE  These cards also used the EVERYDAY ARCHES die, the Season of Elegance  Specialty Designer Series Paper and the Irregualr Weave ribbon. 

I also have been having fun with the set RUSTIC CENTERPIECE ! It truly makes you feel like curling up with a cozy blanket 😊And it also makes a great decoration for a gift box! I love this Drawer Box - pull the drawer out and the picture stands up!

Stampin' Sat DATE CHANGE!! and *more* news!

 Hello, Sweet Stampin' Friends!!

 (Drumroll, please) The Great Cycle Challenge has begun! YES! My month-long cycling challenge fundraiser for the Children's Cancer Research Fund began yesterday, Sept 1! I spent almost 4 hours of my Labor Day pedaling to make a little dent in my 200 miles goal. I did 48.5 miles yesterday and 9 miles this evening, so I am a little better than 20% done towards my mileage goal. The BEST news, however, is I am creeping towards my $2500. fundraising goal! Want to help put a dent in the $$ goal? 20% of the cost of all KITS you buy from MY SITE, all year long, goes towards my fundraiser! Of course, you can always make a tax-deductible donation. To see my progress, find out more about the GCC and the CCRF, and to support my fundraiser, simply CLICK HERE Why am I doing this? Because every week, here in the US, every 2 minutes a child is diagnosed with cancer. About 38 kids a week will lose their lives to cancer. Worldwide, about 1750 kids per day succumb to their cancers. 90% of survivors will have a life-threatening event by the time they are middle-aged as a result of having chemo. These kids need better therapies. It is time to Kick Cancer's Butt. Please join me in this battle!

HAPPY NEWS! The Fall Holiday Mini Catalog goes LIVE TODAY!! CHECK IT OUT HERE !! Holiday and seasonal papers, stamps and dies... and more!! Don't forget to check out the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES for even more fun!

Sept Stampin' Sat DATE CHANGE! Stampin' Sat will be on SEPT 13. Join the fun at 11:00 at my house! As always, only $5.00 or an order! 

We will make 2 fantastic cards!

The FIRST card is a really cool PINWHEEL TOWER CARD! I have no idea how to photograph this, but I hope you get the idea. It folds flat and fits in a regular envelope!

Card #2 will use the gorgeous, new AUTUMN TREES bundle. I am waiting for some special paper but I do know the design we are doing! 

Please let me know by Sept 12 that you are coming so I will have your materials (and enough lunch) ready!

Can't make it but want to know how to make the Pinwheel Tower card (it is so easy, I promise!) so you can make them yourself? Love the Autumn Trees Bundle? STAMP BY MAIL! Paypal (teachph@aol.com, sent Friends and Family with no comments) or Zelle me $10 for one, or $15 for both cards and I will send you all of the papers cut and scored, images/sentiments stamped, colored and cut out, embellishments you may need, detailed instructions - EVERYTHING you will need except adhesives! Please email or text me if you are stamping by mail. Email violn1001@aol.com or text 864-921-9750. Card kits will be mailed Sept 15.

Looking ahead, Stampin' Sat will be back to the 3rd Saturdays of October (18) and November (15) so mark your calendars! There will be *no* card class in December.

SALE!! The Stampin' Write markers are being discontinued and are now in the LAST CHANCE LIST

SU has introduced a Black Journaling .04 Pen (item #166647) which may take the place of the Basic Black marker if you use that one for writing in your cards.

Remember, the red rubber stamps are also being phased out. Check out my previous blog post for all the info about that but keep an eye out for the new packaging! Especially excited that the DIES WILL HAVE PRINTED ARTWORK ON THE PACKAGING FOR QUICK AND EASY IDENTIFICATION!! AND the new packaging will allow all images to be printed at 100% size! 

Starting in November, we can purchase stamp and die organizers, in packs of ten, to easily transition our current cling stamps to the updated packaging, making it super easy to store our beloved products with the new ones. Item # will be 167772, and cost $16.00 per pack of 10. The current storage boxes (item #119105) which we can purchase will continue to be available for the foreseeable future. There are no current plans to discontinue those at this time.

THANK YOU to those who have subscribed to my YouTube Channel! I wonder if I can get to 900 subscribers by Thanksgiving? 

HERE IS MY LATEST VIDEO If you are not a Paper Pumpkin Subscriber, the  alternate ideas are still definitely worth watching! For my full video list, including non-Paper Pumpkin videos, just click here and feel free to share!

Thanks so much and I hope to see you on the 13!

Until next time, keep making the world a beautiful place!

New Stampin' News!

 Hello, Sweet Stampin' Friends!

Well, if time does anything, it causes things to change and Stampin' Up! has some changes ahead! Some are awesome and the others, maybe not quite so awesome. Bittersweet news first so we can end on a high note.

If you love your Stampin' Write Markers, be sure you have reinkers handy because the Stampin' Write Markers are being discontinued!! The Stampin' Write Markers will move into LAST CHANCE on AUGUST 20, 2025!! TOMORROW!! Since the introduction of the Stampin' Blends, the sale of the markers has decreased steadily. Don't know how to refill your markers? I did a video showing how, several years ago. I will link it HERE     SU has introduced a Black Journaling .04 Pen (item #166647) which may take the place of the Basic Black marker if you use that one for writing in your cards.

The other reason the markers will be leaving is SU change #2. The primary, unique function of the markers is to color directly onto the red rubber stamps. Well, read on.

The red rubber Cling Stamps will be discontinued!!  Yep. The Cling Stamps (red rubber) will be phased out. The current offerings in the Annual catalog will be available through April, when they will be moved into Last Chance. None will be transitioned to photopolymer, but most are nearing the end of their natural cycle anyway, The Cling Stamps in the brand-new Sept - Dec mini catalog will be available and move into Last Chance in Jan. Beginning in Nov, all stamps listed in the Online Exclusives section will be photopolymer. Why?  There are key raw materials which are getting very difficult to find, and some necessary raw materials are no longer being manufactured at all!! The wide range of Photopolymer stamps will support our various artistic styles and techniques. 

NOW FOR THE HAPPY NEWS!!! 

Stamp and die packaging will be updated. The photopolymer stamps are thinner, so will be moved into sleeker, slimmer packaging which will take up less storage room! Our current photopolymer stamps will gradually be transitioned to the new packaging as the SU inventory is refreshed. The current dies will not be transitioned into new packaging.

The stamps and dies will be in the same size and style of packaging, making it even easier to store them, especially together!! The new and improved packaging is similar to the current die packaging - those very sturdy, durable clear plastic envelopes. Unfortunately, because they *are* slimmer, the names and images of the stamp sets will not be printed on the spine. 

And now, drumroll please, the DIES WILL HAVE PRINTED ARTWORK ON THE PACKAGING FOR QUICK AND EASY IDENTIFICATION!!!! YaHOO!! How many times do we open die set after die set, looking for the one random shape we want for a random project? THIS is so exciting to me! Of course, stamp sets will continue to have imaging on the packaging. The new packaging will allow all images to be printed at 100% size!

Starting in November, we can purchase stamp and die organizers, in packs of ten, to easily transition our current cling stamps to the updated packaging, making it super easy to store our beloved products with the new ones. Item # will be 167772, and cost $16.00 per pack of 10. The current storage boxes (item #119105) which we can purchase will continue to be available for the foreseeable future. There are no current plans to discontinue those at this time.

We all missed our wood mounted stamps for a minute, and I am sure we will miss the Cling Stamps, but we all know how much easier it is to line up stamps when that stamp is clear! It will be okay. As for the markers, remember the Blends bleed through cardstock, so prepare for the layering ahead!

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.

Color Sale!

 Color Sale!! Select products in the 2025 - 2027 In-Color collection are 15% off through Aug 31! Time to refresh your craft cabinet? This would be a great time!

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!

Yes, the Sept - Dec 2025 Min Catalog will be coming out very soon! The products are also featured in the comprehensive product list mentioned in point #. There are so many cute Fall, Winter, and Christmas themed suites, bundles, and stamp sets! Don't forget the unforgettable embellishments!

Out first card is a really fun Fun Fold, that I think will be my go-to guy's card this year! They love mechanical things, so this is a card that will delight and impress, for sure!  The papers used for card class will vary slightly.

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 .
