Tis the Season to be Stampin'!

 Oh, the weather outside is frightful, but creativity is so delightful! And Stampin' Up! makes it easy to allow your creativity free rein! 

*Dec 1 is the FINAL DAY of the first-ever Black Friday Sale! I have stocked up on new Stampin' Blends! On sale for only $6.60 (reg price $11), I couldn't say 'no'. Many items are still available so pop over to MY SITE to see what you need while the sale is still going on!                                    


Remember!! 20% of each and every kit sold from my site is banked during the year for my annual September Great Cycle Challenge fundraiser for the Children's Cancer Research Fund! This year I finished #7 in my state and 300/17000+ in the nation! Each and every kit you purchase helps me help the researchers help the kids!

*Get your Holiday Scrapbooking kits and materials (or every-day scrapbooking kits!) now, so you are ready to warm those soon-to-be-here dreary days with heartwarming memories! Each kit contains the materials for 3 2-page scrapbook spreads. Here are a few kits...

     

*New Kits - YEP! Every month, at least 2 brand new all-inclusive kits drop! Starting at $13.00, there is something for everyone! and if you order by Dec 9, you will most likely have your products ready to gift on Christmas! Here are 2 of the 30 available!

  


*The Dec Paper Pumpkin is month 3 for the coordinating dies. Keep an eye on the Paper Pumpkin tab for the new dies to coordinate with Jan - Mar PP kits. Gift subscriptions are available as pre-paid 3, 6, or 12 month subscriptions in addition to month-to-month ongoing subscriptions. Subscribe by Dec 10 to receive the December all-inclusive box of fun! Be aware, if you order a pre-paid gift of Paper Pumpkin by Dec 10, the recipient *will* receive the Dec box.


*Product Of The Month is coming!! We have all loved the Sale-A-Bration days, and now they will be a fond memory. Instead, we will now be enjoying the Product of the Month all year long! This will be an ongoing special where you can purchase a special, limited-edition product for $5. with a $75 purchase! Quantities will be limited, so when they are sold out, they are sold out.  If any are left at the end of teh month, they will carry over until sold out. There is a limit to 1 POM per account, per month. If you place a $150 order, you are limited to just 1 current POM, but if there are prior POMs available which you had not yet purchased, you can get one of those. If you place a second $75 order in a single month, you will not be eligible to purchase a second POM. 

*Come back on Tuesday to see a pic of the FIRST EVER Product of the Month! * hopefully I will be able to update Tuesday!

*Demonstrators - Mark your calendar. The next online craft-along will be Dec 10th and this will be a Mystery Stamp-Along!  2 times will be offered to accomodate different time zones - 6 pm MT or midnight MT. I will be there at 4:00 EST.

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 πŸ˜€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!


This 3D box card is jaw-dropping! A+ Jeannie! 


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!
