October Stamp@Home Mini Kit

   

October's Mini Kit features four autumn-themed cards plus a matching card case for gift giving. What a nice surprise for a neighbor or friend, your child's teacher, or those Thanksgiving meals that you'll be attending next month!  The fall colors of these cards would be great to use for guys or events that need a warmer, more subtle feel.  "Perfectly Penned"  is the stamp set used for the cards'  front sentiments.  All pieces are pre-cut and leaves are punched, plus I'll include the  "Thanksgiving" punch label just in case you need it!  You just stamp the front words you'd like to use, adhere the pieces, and be ready before the holiday rush begins! Make them up in a flash at home yourself or gather some friends and do a bunch of them together for even more fun!

Magnetic Platform coming 9/12!

If you're a fan of the thin Framelits and Edgelits dies for your Big Shot, you'll really love using them with the Magnetic Platform. No more shifting of the dies off your paper when you try to cut, or needing to tape the die down.  Just layer the die over the paper and the powerful magnets will hold it down, even through 2 layers of cardstock!

The first shipment of Magnetic Platforms sold out so quickly that Stampin' Up had to turn off the order number because they just couldn't keep up with the backorder backlog.  But now the new shipment has arrived and orders can be started on Sept. 12!  I was blessed to get one of the Platforms in the first shipment and really love how it makes cutting so much easier, it is worth every penny!  If you'd like to check it out, follow the link here: Stampin' Up Platform video to see how it works.

Whether you order the Platform (#130658) yourself online or want to join my class orders on 9/15 to save a little shipping, be sure you get yours ASAP!

September Techniques Class

With all the kids back to school, it's time for us to learn some new things too!  Techniques Classes are among the most popular, and I think this one will be one of the best. Motion-type cards are my favorites; this month all of the cards will really "POP"!

First of all, we'll make a "swing" card that automatically flips over when it's opened.  I used to cut these out by hand with an Exacto knife and later on my paper trimmer, but with the new Stampin' Up! Thinlit dies, it's SO much easier.  Just run the cardstock through the Big Shot with the die and you're done!  It's cut and scored perfectly even, and you can make a lot more just as easily.  This card was a hit at my last hostess' stamping party, and I think you'll love it too!

The top right card has an inside that pops up with a different kind of surprise when you open it.  Butterflies make it more elegant, but it's really cute when done with letters or other punched/cut images too.

The sliding window pop-up card was also shown at the Stampin' Up convention in Salt Lake City in July, amidst many "oohs" from the crowd. We modify a Big Shot die to do our pop and slide; and again, so quick and easy to do!  You'll have to make at least a few of these cards because I know you won't want to give your sample away!

As with all of my Techniques Classes, measurements and full instructions are printed for you so that you can duplicate your creations at home.  Be sure to save your spot early for this one as classes are limited to 12  (especially on Friday, as it's already almost half reserved!)

NEW! Envelope Punch Board!

  It's finally here!  The brand new Envelope Punch Board can make 66 different sizes of envelopes from any paper or cardstock in just a few minutes, so quick and easy!  Just punch out the notches and score the sides, and you've got custom envelopes to match any of your cards or even just standard white ones at a fraction of the regular cost.  You can watch it here in action, so neat and quick!  (It's #133774, only $19.95.)   I know I'm getting one this month, and have big plans for all of those random printed Designer Series and scrapbook papers I have left over. Wouldn't it look great to make a card and also a matching envelope to send it off? Very special indeed!
