January 2024 SAS

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. 
  
  
  

DESIGN CHOICE GROUPS:

1.    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.  
2.    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. 
   
   
   
3.     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 could
   
   make a lot of beautiful cards in many different styles with these coordinates.

Nov. 2023 Holiday Class

Although email newsletters are fun and informative, receiving a handmade holiday card from you is still a very special treat indeed! For this year, I’ve tried to include different Fancy Folds to give you really fun choices! Now is the time to make some really special cards that show how much you care, especially if you can't meet together in person.

Making one (or more) sets of these from a Stamp-A-Stack (SAS) is the easiest way to create lots of beautiful cards without the need to come up with the design, buy lots of different stamps and supplies, and then set aside a place to cut, score, and find matching ribbons and embellishments to make them all up!

Each SAS set is pre-cut and ready to assemble, includes printed colorful instructions, premium SU envelopes, scored card bases, all the Foam and glue dots you need, and even the bows are already tied for you!

All materials are provided for in-person classes, however it is recommended that you bring a roller-type adhesive for neatness and speed, plus a tube of green Tombow Multipurpose liquid glue for those die cuts and permanence.

• Making 3 or more different DESIGN CHOICES or more than 12 cards may require only making one completed sample of the card, then stamp/emboss/die cut the other parts and complete your cards later at home if needed.
• Many supplies are limited, and orders will be taken in the order they are received. (If a substitution is needed, I will contact you first.)
• Sessions will be limited to a minimum of 2 and maximum of 8 attendees. I will try to space you apart as much as possible.
• 
  Please bring your own Big Shot/die cutting machine (if you have one) for your personal use to speed things up and reduce the need for sharing mine.
  

DESIGN CHOICES: (if multiple paper patterns are shown, a variety is included in your option.)

1.  Magical Meadow –wintery colors with silvery fern die-cut, bow, and delicate webbing accents. (4 patterns/colors)
2.  Snowflake Magic –Cami-fold card with foiled snowflake patterns, embossing, pine & ornament die-cuts. (3 patterns)
   
3.  Night Divine – Step-card with die-cut figures, various starry night sky patterned papers. (3 sky patterns)
4.  3-D Tree Card – unique dimensional tree card in classic green & red patterned papers. (3 patterns)

STAMPING OPTIONS:
A: Make 12 cards in 1 design
