May Cards@Home SAS Kit

With Shelter-in-Place continuing through May, it was good that I planned this month's Stamp-A-Stack (SAS) to work as a Cards@Home Kit. Except for Card #2, I will die cut the words shown for the card designs, making this month's SAS pretty simple to put together: just assemble and you're done!  What a fast way to put together 12 fancy-looking and versatile cards for all sorts of occasions like birthdays, Mother's Day, Sympathy, thinking of you, and more! (If you want to stamp the inside as I did, you can save your cards for the next time we meet.)

• All pre-cut pieces, embellishments, foam dimensionals, glue dots, quality Stampin' Up envelopes, and complete printed color instructions are included. 
• If more than one paper design/coloring is shown, an equal assortment of patterns will be given. 
•  All materials are in limited supply, and orders will be processed as they are received. (If a substitution is needed, I will contact you.)

CARD DESIGNS:

Card #1 - Bonanza Buddies: both toucan and lion prints included, bottom ice cream pattern reverses to candles as shown. Sequins trim and embossed texture in center. 

Card #2 - Sending Flowers/Poppies: both blue and pink embossed versions included.  You can use any long word stamps you have at home for the white strip, hand write a sentiment, or print one from the computer. (Or save the strip and bring it to stamp the next time there is a class.)

Card #3 - Mosaic Mood: the glossy textured hummingbird requires hand-cutting, fairly easy with small scissors. The small vanilla rectangle is embossed, let me know if you'd rather have it smooth to stamp on. The ornate lace border is one of the new ones from the upcoming Annual catalog! 

Card #4 - Amazing You: all 4 paper patterns will be included; "YOU" is die cut from foil cardstock.  Note this unique card opens diagonally. 

CARD OPTIONS:

A: Make 12 cards in 1 design.

B: Make 6 + 6 cards in 2 designs.

C: Make 4 + 8 cards in 2 designs.

D. Make 4 + 4 + 4 cards in 3 designs.

E. Make 3 + 3 + 3+ 3 cards in 4 designs. 

COST: $24* for 12 cards, OR Half Price = $12 with a minimum $45 order, OR FREE if you order and have a previous Class Credit, or have 2 Class Credits from previous orders!! 

Use the current Host Code RDBAQ3KB to order directly from SU online and earn your Credit. (Note: if your order exceeds $150, do not use a Host Code, as you can keep the Host Rewards and you can still earn a Class Credit for a future class or towards this month's Kit.)

Each add-on set of 4 cards = +$8.00.

* Cost is for Kit only if you pick up from me. Shipping = +$4.00 for 12 cards & envelopes. 

DEADLINE TO ORDER with Design and Option Choices = Sunday, May 17. 

Don't wait, remember supplies are limited and SAS events are always very popular! 😊 

The new Annual Catalog will also be coming out very soon!  I should get my order around the second week of May, so you may wish to pick up your Cards Kit and the new Catalog at the same time! Contact me if you have any questions.

The Last Chance Products (Retiring List) is out!

Whoa, it's time to check the SU Online site and see if those things you've been waiting to order will be Retired soon from the Stampin' Up catalogs, both current Annual and Mini Jan-June 2020!  As usual, the In-Colors that have been with us for 2 years (2018 - 2020) will be going out along with many favorite stamps, dies, and accessories to make room for new products to come out in June!

Be sure to check out the all the items and watch for discounts of 20-60% off.  (I grabbed some goodies including one really great buy at 85% off - The Darling Label Punch Box for $6.75; that will go super fast!!)

Some things to note:

• As usual, the discount you get the first year with Bundles (stamps and dies or punches) will disappear even if the stamp or die/punch is available in the next catalog.  
• All Designer Paper and Glimmer papers will retire.
• Blends markers will return only as pairs*.  If you wish to order anything as a single, do it now. 
• And of course, supplies are limited to stock on hand.  Once it's out, it's gone....  (Retiring stamp sets will be guaranteed available until 5/22, sale ends June 2.)

Remember to use the new Host Code = RDBAQ3KB to earn credit towards a Free stamp class or hand-stamped gift from me with your $45 minimum order. (If you order over $150, don't use the Code as you can keep the Host Rewards for yourself and I'll still credit you with a Free class. Contact me with any questions.)

Hurry, hurry and take a look!

*(All of the Blends colors listed in the current Catalog will return as Combo pairs with new ordering numbers. The only 3 Blends colors that will not return are those retiring in the 2018-2020 In Colors, which are Lovely Lipstick, Pineapple Punch, and Call Me Clover.  Bronze and Ivory will be listed as a "combo", and the Color Lifter will be the only single pen.) 

Last Reminder to order April Cards Kit

Please note that the Deadline to order this month's Cards@Home Kit is Monday, April 20.  You can either get the Cards for FREE if you have a previous Class credit or place a minimum Stampin' Up order with the current Host Code (MDHXVYMS), or send along your payment via check or Google Pay (free app on your phone) before the Deadline date.  Please check the 3/31 post for complete details and pictures.

In the meantime, here is a card I made that will go with the Meal Train delivery to the Eden Hospital Emergency Room staff here in town from our local prayer group to thank them for their efforts. I saw the idea online and tweaked it a bit, hope you like it. 

Thank you for your patience and support, I'll be working on more card ideas for  the May Class, whether live or as a kit, so stay tuned and use this time to keep stamping!😊

Cards@Home Kits are ready!

Hello everyone,

I hope that you are all well and able to use some of this staying-at-home time to include some fun things like stamping a few cards to send to others.  With such a big life change for everyone, our friends and family would surely appreciate receiving one of your hand-crafted cards in their mailbox to brighten their day.

As posted in the 3/31 blog previously, I have altered the set of 4 cards pictured here to be a Cards@Home Kit to be a substitute for our regular monthly Stamp Class.   I have just finished making up the full color printed instructions to go along with the kit to make the assembly easier for you.   If you are interested in getting the Kit, note that there are a few options:

1. If you place a $45 minimum order this month with the current Host Code* MDHXVYMS or have a Class Credit from a previous order, let me know if you'd like me to mail you this month's kit for FREE! 
2. If you wish to simply order the Kit itself, just email me. I can mail it to you (for $17 to cover shipping), or you can arrange to drop off your payment (of $15) into my locking mailbox and  pick up your Kit from my porch to save the shipping cost.
3. * If your order exceeds $150, do not use a Host Code, as you can keep the Host Rewards and I will still offer you either a FREE Stamp Class in the future or this month's Kit.  
4. DEADLINE to order this kit = Monday, Apr. 20

Please check the  3/31 blog post for more details about the Kit, and contact me if you have any questions. 

Sneek Peak at the Ornate Garden Suite!

Okay, who's stuck at home and ready for some brand new stamps, dies, paper, and embellishments to craft the days away?  If that's something you'd like to do during the next month at home, you'll want to look at this early release of the Ornate Garden Suite of coordinating products from the upcoming 2020 Annual Catalog that are a breath of spring!  The two sets of dies alone are wonderful, and there are two stamp sets (which of course come in cost-saving Bundles which we love!), plus matching Designer Printed paper, an embossing folder, ribbons, and more!  Check out the LINK here to see everything online and be inspired to make some fresh new cards during the days ahead. Here's a VIDEO with some more pictures of how the products look.

Remember to use the current Host Code MDHXVYMS to earn credit towards a future FREE Stamp Class (or discounted SAS), or this month's Cards@Home kit, or a set of hand-stamped cards from me with your $45 minimum order. Contact me with any questions.
