I am a real fan of the My Paper Pumpkin kits!  I get excited when I see that cute red box in my mailbox!  While there have been a few kits in the past that have been a tad disappointing, the last several have been really really great.  So I was thrilled when I read today that we can now pre pay for subscriptions!  That means you can order a year subscription at one time and possibly give as a gift (maybe to your mom?) AND earn hostess benefits!  How cool is that!?!

Shipping is included in the price.  Not sure about ordering a full year?  You can order 3, 6, or 12 months.  OR, as before today, you can order a monthly subscription where you are billed each month.  Order whichever way is best for YOU!  These really are fun kits, so why not order today?

The retiring lists are out!  And with FREE shipping all this week, these items are likely to go very quickly!  So carefully review these lists for any stamps or accessories you are wanting to order and get your orders in during this week.

Happy Shopping!

You have seen me mention these in the past.  I just love them!  Watch this video to see why!

Stampin’ Up! is having a live, streaming event where we will stamp with the All Wrapped Up Bundle on page 6 of the Sale-A-Bration brochure.

Order the bundle, in clear mount or wood mount, NOW so you can craft right along with the class. Our projects will also feature the Sweet Sorbet Designer Series Paper, so you may want to order that as the free Sale-A-Bration product. Then choose your preferred device–computer, tablet, smart phone, or even hook up your computer to your TV*–and tune in to learn some fun new things to do with the bundle!

When: March 26, 2014, at 5:30 PM, 7:30 PM, and 11:00 PM (all times MT). We’ll demonstrate the same projects each time, so choose the one that’s best for you.

You don’t even have to leave home. Come to www.youtube.com/stampinupvideo at your chosen time, and be prepared to stamp! We’ll also award door prizes to random participants.

So many occasions are coming–Easter, Mother’s Day, graduations, and more–and we want to help you be ready.

Hope you can make it. We’d love to have you join us!

*Never hooked up your computer to a TV before? Do a search on YouTube and you’ll find loads of instructional videos. Make sure to do a practice run before March 26 so you don’t miss out on any of the party.

out a friend.  I was asked to make a baby boy card and my friend remembered seeing a onesie card I made years and years ago.  So I created this card:

I had some leftover DSP in my stash, so I made the coordinating envelop with my envelop punch board.  Those snaps at the bottom of the onesie are actually paper, but wet embossed to look shiny!  So cute, if I do say so myself.  Anyway, when my friend showed her grandmother a pic of this card, her grandmother wanted me to make one for her, too.  So I created this bib card:

Of course I had to make another coordinating envelop!  The baby shower theme had monkeys and elephants, hence the chosen images.  I am so glad I kept these retired stamp sets!

It felt so good to help my friend out with a few handmade cards.  I am happy to do the same for you!  If you would like to give a handmade card, let me know what you have in mind and I will check my stamp collection for any images that may fit.  I charge just $3 per card with envelop, but may increase the price if the item gets more involved.  Of course, if you don’t live near me, I will need to add shipping costs.  I can also create 3D projects like boxes or flowers like you may have seen here on my blog.
