June Cards@Home Kit

With the new Annual Stampin' Up Catalog coming live on Wed. June 3 at 11:00am (PT), it's exciting to think that we are going to have some brand new stamps, dies, and accessories to create new projects!  However, it also appears that we will still be Shelter-In-Place here in Alameda County for June, so I've created some cards that can be done with the new stamp sets if you order them, or simply completed with stamps you already have, or be handwritten*. I'll again be providing many die cut words for the card fronts so that the cards will be mostly complete when you assemble them, and will include printed instructions for assembly in each kit.

The upper left card features the newest group of In-Colors for 2020 - 2022: Cinnamon Cider, Just Jade, Magenta Madness, Bumble Bee, and Misty Moonlight!  Each flower color is accented with its own matching Enamel Dot in the center, and I love the contrast of using the white die-cut word "happy" against the black card base.  You could also add a narrow word strip below "happy" with "birthday", "Father's Day", "day", "thoughts",  "wishes" , etc.

Sometimes when a new SU catalog comes out, there will be a printed  Designer Series Paper that is so gorgeous that I know immediately I have to order it.  That was the case with Forever Greenery on the upper right card.  I really like leaf patterns, and this beautiful blend of many greens with Pretty Peacock is just wonderful.  Plus when there are coordinating Distinktive stamps, dies that cut every image plus more, and two coordinating embossing folders, this was one suite of products that I ordered immediately!  Even the reversible ribbon bow matches exactly.  I've created a corner-lock card which is a fun new layout and cleverly keeps the card closed when the corner is inserted.  We'll be making many more of these, to be sure!

The bottom two cards feature the Ornate Garden patterned Designer papers. On the left, the soft pink and minty green prints look so nice with the coordinating Ornate Borders die that accents this center opening card.  A bit of glitz from the gold embossed paper and small gems make this pretty card quite special and yet it's easy to assemble. The card on the right is all about sending someone some sunshine!  With its happy daisies on a green die cut border and sunny yellow papers everywhere, inside and out, it should bring a smile to anyone who receives it. Also note that this card has another fun fold which makes it stand out, just like it's pink and green partner.  Even more fun is the new border punch which decorates the inside and punches out the small yellow flowers on the front and inside, so cool!

Note that since I am die cutting words from the Well Written dies set, if you'd like to switch the words "happy" (Card 1) or "thanks" (Card 3) to a different die  (also "friend" or "wishes"), just let me know when you reserve your spot.  

Deadline Date to order this Kit: Sunday, June 14. 

Cost = $15 if you pick up, + $2 for shipping per kit if mailed to you.  

Kit can be FREE with a minimum $45 order ($50 if you would also like a copy of the new Annual catalog) when you use the current Host Code: PCKRMXT7, or if you have a previous Class Credit.  

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

(*Since I cannot stamp images for unassembled cards, you will receive blank white cardstock where I have stamped the samples.  You can simply use your own supplies, or save your blanks for the next time we meet if you want to complete the card exactly as shown.) 

As always, contact me with any questions. 

Final chance to order from current catalog, new Host Code

If you have anything that you have been thinking of ordering from the current Mini or Annual Stampin' Up catalogs, or want to check out the bargains on the Last Chance Products or Clearance Rack, you have until June 2 to do that as the new Annual Catalog goes live on June 3! The Current Host Code is PCKRMXT7 so that you can earn credit on your order towards a FREE Stamp Class or Cards@Home kit (see below*).

The next "Class" will be tentatively set for Sunday, June 14, depending Social Distancing guidelines at that time. But whether in person or another Cards-at-Home kit, the new Annual Catalog will be live so we'll get to try out many of the all-new products, hooray!! I'll have new pictures of our cards coming out very soon, and hope that you can "join" in fun! Check out the new goodies online on June 3, or contact me about getting a new catalog to study, plan for, and enjoy for FREE!


*Use the current Host Code to place your order online and earn credit towards a FREE Stamp Class/Cards@Home Kit or thank you gift from me with your $45 minimum order! (But if you're over $150, don't use the Code as you can keep the Rewards for yourself and still get your freebie. Contact me for details!)

Deadline for May Cards@Home Kit coming up

Please note that the Deadline to order this month's Cards@Home Kit is coming up in a few days, Sunday, May 17. After this, these beautiful retiring papers will be gone and we can get ready for the new Annual Catalog which starts on June 3rd!

For those of you who might not have ordered yet or maybe want a few more cards, I've double checked the Designer Papers (the limiting factor) and there are still have some card designs available if you are interested:

• #1 and #6  = 12 or more cards possible
• #5  =  about 8 cards left
• #2 and #3 (curry yellow version) = about 5 or less cards  for each.  

To those of you who have already ordered this month's Cards@Home Kit, my deepest thanks for supporting me during this time of uncertainty that we can't meet in person to create together!  According to UPS, the new catalog shipment is due to be on my porch tonight, and I will email you individually when they actually hit my doorstep so that you can come to pick both the catalog and your kits if that's your plan.

Two New Cards@Home Designs!

Maybe because some of us have so much time at home to do more crafting, the response to this month's Cards@Home Kit has been very quick!  In fact, two of the designs, Cards #2 and #3, are depleted so I thought I'd offer two more new cards since it's only the beginning of May.

• 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.)

Here are the descriptions (#1 and #4 are the same).

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

Card #5 - Petal Promenade:  both Mossy Meadow green and Petal Pink patterns are included.  Sheer ribbon in two shades is knotted, laid over die-cut glossy embossed white bottom section. You may choose the die cut words "sympathy" or "hello" in either Mossy Meadow (dark green) or Pale Plum (lavender/pink), or "blank" (no words);  just specify your preference.

Card#6 - Pressed Petals: both Rich Razzleberry flowers and Mossy Meadow fern patterns are included.  You create the Razzleberry flower with 5 pre-cut petals of special washi tape, so life-like! The green leaves/ferns and wood leaf embellishment make this card great for guys or more subtle occasions. 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 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!!

Add-On of 1 Design/4 Cards = +$8.00* (if you want more than 12)

NOTE: If you have already ordered your card choices with me, you may choose to do an Add-On of 4 cards in #5 or #6, (or 8 cards of both #5 and 6), rather than ordering another set of 12.

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

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.)

Don't wait, remember supplies are limited and any orders are processed as they are received.  This SAS event has already been really popular so your quick response is best! 😊 

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 #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.
