Changes in Stamp Classes, Nov. SAS

Hello Stamping Friends,

After over 20 years of providing Stamp Classes and with some new directions in life (more craft shows, travel, etc.), it seems that it would be best to discontinue holding the classes in their current schedule of 4 times a year. The decision to hold a class in May when the new Stampin' Up Annual catalog is released and/or perhaps an end-of-the-year Christmas card class is still up in the air. 

This will also change how I thank you for your orders (to be explained in an upcoming blog post) since "discounts for the next class" won't be applicable.  I will continue to email you about SU promotions (sales) as I hear about them so that you can take advantage of them if you wish.  Your feedback and thoughts are appreciated as I think about these changes.  

For the Nov. 2024 SAS, I hope you will enjoy choosing from among the Designs shown below. Note that with 4 possible Design Choices, you will only be able to choose 3 Groups per $25. 

DESIGN CHOICE GROUPS:

#1. Christmas Labels/Decorative Trees (4 cards): This design features classic Real Red and Garden Green Christmas colors in a very versatile paper design.  It is super easy to assemble, and note how you can arrange the pieces in a more symmetrical way (as in the portrait orientation) or more staggered (as in the landscape orientation), but can also flip any of the pieces to its reverse pattern for even more pattern options.  And while the fancy die-cut tree is pretty, there is also a solid tree punch option (shown) if you prefer more simplicity and contrast. 

#2. Peaceful Season (3 cards): These cards are focused on soft, non-traditional 
holiday colors, and have such a lovely, peaceful feeling to them.  Delicate snowflakes are embossed onto the vellum background circle and highlighted with a few jewels.  Subtle glitz is also provided by the silver /white lower border and the die-cut and shadowed Christmas script. 

#3. Handcrafted Element (3 cards):  This fancy gatefold card has so much going for it: shiny and colorful coordinating foiled paper designs (in the 3 different Cherry/Mossy Meadow pattern combinations shown), a double die-cut leaf oval on a foiled snowflake Cherry Cobbler mat, and a gold-edged Cherry ribbon laced through an embossed  diamond-shaped sentiment.  Classy and elegant, such a special way to share the holiday spirit with others this year. 

#4. Christmas Tags (8 tags): Top off those specially wrapped presents or gift bags with one of these handmade tags this year; (note the last one on the right is actually a mini 3x3 inch gift enclosure card with a mini envelope to match.)  You'll be making at least 8 tags in this design, but if you still can't quite part with them, you could also use pencil to write the names and recycle them to use again for  another year.
