Welcome to the 2024 Stamp-A-Stack Class!
With the start of the new year, we can enjoy the new Jan - April Mini Catalog plus Sale-A-Bration (Jan. - Feb) where you can earn a FREE item with each $50 purchase, no limit!
There will also be some changes for our SAS classes starting this month. I've noticed that many of you struggle to complete the cards, both in class and also afterwards, which means there are too many cards to do plus there are probably too many parts and pieces to realistically finish all 12 cards. I also realize that the newer, more detailed dies usually take more than one pass to cut and often must be done one at a time, slowing the whole process down. Finally, there's sadly the cost increase associated with the materials, a reality we can't seem to avoid these days.
With all of this in mind, here's the new structure:
- Price will stay the same ($25); 3 Design Groups with a total 9-10 cards will be offered.
- Only more basic designs will have 4 cards per group (let me know if you prefer these).
- When the card has more steps or pieces, there may be only 2-3 cards offered. (This will be specified per each choice).
- I will continue to tie your bows, do your scoring, include your glue dots and foam adhesive, and even some of the die cutting as needed to help you finish your cards.
- Bee Mine (3 cards) - this super cute interactive card includes the Give It a Whirl die, where you spin the wheel to change the words inside the beehive to "Happy birthday to you" and "You're TOO wonderful". The "Whirl" die fits nicely on our normal A2 card size, but I wanted to use the "sweet" Bee Mine Designer Paper and this 5" x 7" card size does that nicely.
- Trusty Tools (3 cards) - this is an "Inside Pennant" card, where two parts pop up when it's opened, a fun surprise for your favorite guy (or gal) on a birthday or upcoming Father's (Mother's) Day. I couldn't resist the dies that cut out the tools from either solid cardstock or the matching FREE SAB Designer Paper which is offered through February! There is a lot of texture on this card that should please the handy-person in your life.
- Cascade Trifold (2 cards, 2 different papers included) - this multi-layered card is so rich and textured, it will be very hard to give away after you complete it! Note how having 3 layers allows us to include two pretty patterns plus an embossed one* for the front as well. The Flight and Airy paper is another FREE SAB option that includes cute, fat little birds that are perfectly water-colored and so easy to punch out as shown (or your can fussy cut if you wish). The Perennial Lavender paper has both finer drawn and boldly brushed flowers; I used only two of the six luscious patterns, it's so hard to choose! There are stamps and dies that match this paper, so you couldmake a lot of beautiful cards in many different styles with these coordinates.
