January 2016 Stamp Class

Don't look now, but 2015 is almost done, time to get ready for the new year!  With the brand new and marvelous Occasions Mini Catalog about to be released to you on Jan. 5, there's a lot to celebrate!  Filled with new dies and stamps in bundles plus great papers and accessories, it's going to be easy to order the minimum $50 or more to get the new Sale-A-Bration (SAB) Freebies (details below)!  SAB also starts on the same day, how thoughtful and convenient of Stampin' Up to begin these together so that we can all get FREE STUFF!!!  I've already been playing with some of the new things, see what fun I've been having both on the fronts and insides of this month's cards!

The top two cards are both made with the wonderful It's My Party Designer Paper Stack, containing 4 each of 12 great designs for all of those birthdays in 2016.  (If you don't need all 48 sheets in the Stack, be sure to check out the Accessories Pack below, where I break down all the supplies in class into more manageable sizes.) The fun surprise is when you open the first card to see the die-cut pop-up inside!  Easy to make and with other design options, it will be a favorite for sure. The second card uses the Free SAB stamp set Hello, and both feature the new coordinating black twine in two colors.

The lower left card uses some of the Botanical Builder Framelits, simply the best collection of dies I've seen yet!  So many different flower and leaves to combine, and don't you just love the long leaf border?  Of course it has its own coordinating stamp set and Designer Papers, and of course I had to get it all!  But since I did, I got the SAB Perfect Pairings word stamp set for free too! Yay!

The last card is much more subtle in design and color, but I love it too.  The beautiful Rose Garden die and SAB Flowering Fields stamps (Free!) would also be perfect for weddings, anniversaries, or other events.  It would be great to have multiples of this card made up ahead of time, as it's simple to do and could also be altered with different colors and patterns to go with the other sentiments in the coordinating Rose Wonder stamp set. (I'll show you a trick in class about gluing the partially overhanging rose diecut!)

Stamp-A-Stack Reminder

Reminder:  If you'd still like to come to this year's SAS, 

please let me know ASAP so that I can get all of your materials ready for you. 

I realize that last week when I published the pictures on the blog that this was a very busy time for everyone, so understand if you might not have replied yet. There are still some slots but I want to be sure to have everything ready for you.

• If you want to come on Sunday 12/6, please let me know by tomorrow, Tuesday 12/1.  
• If you want to come on Friday, 12/11, let me know by Tuesday 12/8 at the latest.  

Thanks to Carol's sharp eyes, I've seen that the link for the Holiday Retiring List previously posted was actually the one for Canada,  which has higher prices than in the US.  Not sure how that happened but my apologies for any confusion.  Here is the correct link, and I've also corrected the link in the previous post.  Note that many of the wonderful items in the Holiday catalog will not be returning so order them now while you can!
