Feb. 2022 Stamp Class

 As promised, here are the cards we'll be making this month using all new papers and stamps from the Jan-June and SAB (Sale-A-Bration) Mini catalogs.  Hope you like them!

The upper left card shows off just one of many wonderful scenery designs from the New Horizons DSP and the On the Horizon stamps and dies bundle.  Each of the 12 double-sided designs is such a beautiful watercolor blend of hues, you'll find it easy to make up many stunning cards!  And you'll only need a little stamping or die-cutting to do that, with many different possibilities coming to mind.  Your creations will all look very "artsy", like you did all the painting yourself, and everyone will be amazed including you!

On the upper right is a Tower Pinwheel Card, which should rightfully be part of a Fancy Folds Class but I really wanted to do 4 cards this month, so will just give you the simple how-to's in class. This fancy-looking, very dimensional card has 4 sides to decorate or write on, yet still fits in a regular card envelope. The card may look complicated, but only requires some simple scoring and gluing of layers to come together.  I've used the Sunshine and Rainbows DSP which is FREE with SAB and coordinates perfectly with new Rainbow of Happiness Bundle in the Mini. 

The lower left card show off two really nice Designer Papers, Simply Marbleous which is FREE with SAB and Ever Eden which was part of last year's promotion. The flower on the front is stamped with Flowing Flowers, a beautiful stamp that I cut up.  Yes, you can do that!  The image would normally need to be colored with markers to make green leaves and a colored flower, but I decided to simplify things.  Cutting the leaves from the flowers allows me to use ink pads (so much faster & easier) and the Stamparatus tool for exact alignment. Duplicates of this two-colored image can now be made super quick, you'll love it!

The last card is with Chinese New Year in mind, which is coming up Feb. 1.  While it is the Year of the Tiger (and there is a tiger in the Wild Cats stamp set), I've decide to go with the lovely new Crane of Fortune Bundle and Symbols of Fortune DSP instead.  A tri-fold screen card seemed like a good way to use three of the pretty paper designs, and the large flower is cut out with a matching die, so easy!  I'll show you how to cut the "legs" and top cut-outs with unrelated tools that align perfectly through all three layers. 

STAMP CLASS DATE: Sat., Feb. 19, 2:00 am - 4:30 pm. (Maximum 6 vaccinated attendees)  If a minimum of 2 people would like another date, please contact me.

Deadline Date to reserve your spot or order a Cards@Home Kit* = Tues., Feb. 15.

Cost = $15 or FREE with a minimum $45 order when you use the current Host Code: MHB6GBBQ **, or if you have a previous Class Credit. But order $50  before Feb. 28 and choose a FREE SAB goodie as well!

*You may order these cards as a Cards@Home Kit for $15 if you pick up; + $2 for shipping per kit if mailed to you.  (Since I cannot stamp your card pieces per SU copyright policies, you may consider buying the stamp sets used, look among your supplies for stamps that would work, or simply write or print your own sentiments. You will receive blank white cardstock where I have stamped the samples, all the pre-cut/scored/embossed pieces and printed papers for the kit, and the printed instructions with color pictures.  Contact me if you have any questions.) 

(Note: if your order exceeds $150, do not use a Host Code, as you can keep the Host Rewards and I will still give you a Class Credit for a future class or get this month's Kit for FREE as my thanks!)

** This Host Code will expire on Mon. 1/17 (they only last 30 days), please place your order before that date if possible.  If not, check the right column for a new Host Code which will be available after that. 

Last day for Ever Eden DSP and Last Chance Promo

First off, Happy New Year everyone!  Have you been able to  enjoy some warm, dry days at home stamping while it's been rainy and cold outside? With more wet weather to come, get out those supplies and let yourself enjoy some creative time! You'll be glad for the completed cards and projects later on. 

Please note that today, Jan. 3, is the last day to order the beautiful Ever Eden Specialty Designer Paper (#159996) which has been a limited promotion since Nov. 2.  The Eden's Garden stamps and Eden dies will still be available, but not this gorgeous coordinated paper which has beautiful gold accents. 

Today is also the last day to order from the LAST CHANCE PRODUCTS PROMOTION , which includes the items from the July-Dec. 2021 Mini catalog many of which will be retiring and gone. 😔

(Current Host Code is MHB6GBBQ so you can earn FREEBIE credits).

The good news is that the new Jan.-June 2022 Mini catalog will go live tomorrow, Jan. 4, as well as a brand new Sale-A-Bration catalog, so there will be lots of new goodies to see!  I will post the link tomorrow so that you can see both easily, as well as card pictures of the Jan. Stamp Class for this month.  If you attend this month's Stamp Class on Sat. Jan. 15, 9:30am - 12:00, you can pick up your free copy of both!  

One Day Free Shipping!!!

 

Whoo-hoo, are you in need of some Christmas supplies or gifts for yourself or other stampers?  Make up your list and check it twice, because you can get FREE SHIPPING on all SU orders of $50 or more for one day only, Wed. Dec. 8th!! If you need something from the Last Chance Retiring List (items in the July-Dec. Holiday Mini) or the Clearance Rack, this would be the best chance to do that! 

Be ready to order during this 24 hour period on 12/8 only (MT), and use the current Host Code HZV9DPTB to earn a FREE Class Credit or a gift from me as a thank you, as I'm sure things will go really fast that day!

Last Chance Products Sale starts on Dec. 1!

The July–December 2021 Mini Catalog will be retiring soon! Check out the Last Chance Products list so that you can see what will be retiring at the end of the year and order your favorite products (maybe at a discount!)

Be ready to order starting on Dec. 1 before they’re gone for good! 

Here are the lists if you want to know ahead of time, I know they are a terribly tiny font even when you click on it but it's what they give me. I'll also send out a direct link on Dec. 1 when the sale starts so that it's easier to shop. 

• All items are only while supplies last, and some things go really quick so make your list up and be prepared to order earlier rather than later!

Easier to see is the Carry Over List (below right), which tells you which items will continue to be available next year.  

Note to remember:

If a Bundle which has a stamp and a die or punch is carried over, the -10% discounted Bundle price will NOT be available next year, even if both products are still orderable.  So if you want the discounted price, order now.
