May Cards@Home SAS Kit

With Shelter-in-Place continuing through May, it was good that I planned this month's Stamp-A-Stack (SAS) to work as a Cards@Home Kit. Except for Card #2, I will die cut the words shown for the card designs, making this month's SAS pretty simple to put together: just assemble and you're done!  What a fast way to put together 12 fancy-looking and versatile cards for all sorts of occasions like birthdays, Mother's Day, Sympathy, thinking of you, and more! (If you want to stamp the inside as I did, you can save your cards for the next time we meet.)

• All pre-cut pieces, embellishments, foam dimensionals, glue dots, quality Stampin' Up envelopes, and complete printed color instructions are included. 
• If more than one paper design/coloring is shown, an equal assortment of patterns will be given. 
•  All materials are in limited supply, and orders will be processed as they are received. (If a substitution is needed, I will contact you.)

CARD DESIGNS:

Card #1 - Bonanza Buddies: both toucan and lion prints included, bottom ice cream pattern reverses to candles as shown. Sequins trim and embossed texture in center. 

Card #2 - Sending Flowers/Poppies: both blue and pink embossed versions included.  You can use any long word stamps you have at home for the white strip, hand write a sentiment, or print one from the computer. (Or save the strip and bring it to stamp the next time there is a class.)

Card #3 - Mosaic Mood: the glossy textured hummingbird requires hand-cutting, fairly easy with small scissors. The small vanilla rectangle is embossed, let me know if you'd rather have it smooth to stamp on. The ornate lace border is one of the new ones from the upcoming Annual catalog! 

Card #4 - Amazing You: all 4 paper patterns will be included; "YOU" is die cut from foil cardstock.  Note this unique card opens diagonally. 

CARD OPTIONS:

A: Make 12 cards in 1 design.

B: Make 6 + 6 cards in 2 designs.

C: Make 4 + 8 cards in 2 designs.

D. Make 4 + 4 + 4 cards in 3 designs.

E. Make 3 + 3 + 3+ 3 cards in 4 designs. 

COST: $24* for 12 cards, OR Half Price = $12 with a minimum $45 order, OR FREE if you order and have a previous Class Credit, or have 2 Class Credits from previous orders!! 

Use the current Host Code RDBAQ3KB to order directly from SU online and earn your Credit. (Note: if your order exceeds $150, do not use a Host Code, as you can keep the Host Rewards and you can still earn a Class Credit for a future class or towards this month's Kit.)

Each add-on set of 4 cards = +$8.00.

* Cost is for Kit only if you pick up from me. Shipping = +$4.00 for 12 cards & envelopes.

Don't wait, remember supplies are limited and SAS events are always very popular! 😊 

The new Annual Catalog will also be coming out very soon!  I should get my order around the second week of May, so you may wish to pick up your Cards Kit and the new Catalog at the same time! Contact me if you have any questions.

The Last Chance Products (Retiring List) is out!

Whoa, it's time to check the SU Online site and see if those things you've been waiting to order will be Retired soon from the Stampin' Up catalogs, both current Annual and Mini Jan-June 2020!  As usual, the In-Colors that have been with us for 2 years (2018 - 2020) will be going out along with many favorite stamps, dies, and accessories to make room for new products to come out in June!

Be sure to check out the all the items and watch for discounts of 20-60% off.  (I grabbed some goodies including one really great buy at 85% off - The Darling Label Punch Box for $6.75; that will go super fast!!)

Some things to note:

• As usual, the discount you get the first year with Bundles (stamps and dies or punches) will disappear even if the stamp or die/punch is available in the next catalog.  
• All Designer Paper and Glimmer papers will retire.
• Blends markers will return only as pairs*.  If you wish to order anything as a single, do it now. 
• And of course, supplies are limited to stock on hand.  Once it's out, it's gone....  (Retiring stamp sets will be guaranteed available until 5/22, sale ends June 2.)

Remember to use the new Host Code = RDBAQ3KB to earn credit towards a Free stamp class or hand-stamped gift from me with your $45 minimum order. (If you order over $150, don't use the Code as you can keep the Host Rewards for yourself and I'll still credit you with a Free class. Contact me with any questions.)

Hurry, hurry and take a look!

*(All of the Blends colors listed in the current Catalog will return as Combo pairs with new ordering numbers. The only 3 Blends colors that will not return are those retiring in the 2018-2020 In Colors, which are Lovely Lipstick, Pineapple Punch, and Call Me Clover.  Bronze and Ivory will be listed as a "combo", and the Color Lifter will be the only single pen.)

In the meantime, here is a card I made that will go with the Meal Train delivery to the Eden Hospital Emergency Room staff here in town from our local prayer group to thank them for their efforts. I saw the idea online and tweaked it a bit, hope you like it. 

Thank you for your patience and support, I'll be working on more card ideas for  the May Class, whether live or as a kit, so stay tuned and use this time to keep stamping!😊
