Greetings my stamping friends! I just wanted to remind you that Monday, January 4, 2021, is the LAST day you will be able to order products from the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog. Most products in this catalog will be “retired” which means they will not be offered in a future catalog.
If you still have items on your Wish List from this catalog, be sure you get your order submitted online before 11:50 PM (MT). Please adjust the time deadline to reflect your Time Zone.
Monday, January 4, 2021 is also the last day to purchase the Quite Curvy Variety Bundle. While the Quite Curvy Bundle (stamp set and coordinating dies) will be available in the upcoming January-June 2021 Mini Catalog, it will not include items that make up the “Variety” bundle (the Christmas stamp set and designer series paper). See the below pictures to see the difference:
The ordering deadline for the Variety Bundle is the same as for the Mini Catalog.
I’m excited for the new catalog launch on Tuesday, January 5, 2021 and hope to have time between packing and preparing my home for sale to share lots of new projects with you using these new tools.
If you have any questions or need help placing your online order, please ask for my help. It would be best to contact me by telephone (972) 345-8641 for a quick assist.
Thank you for stopping by today. Until next time, stamp on my friends.
Greetings my stamping friends! I thought I would take a break from packing and organizing my craft room (we are putting our existing home on the market on January 5!) and play with my December 2020 Paper Pumpkin kit – Beary Comforting.
I have to say that I absolutely love this kit, even though it has cute little bears, pandas and racoons. This kit was a little different this month. While we had supplies to make 12 cards (four each of three designs), each of the four cards animals (bear, panda or racoon) held a different item with a different corresponding message. You will see what I mean in my pictures below.
When I was separating my pieces I said to myself “Wait a minute, I’m missing a sheet of die cuts – I only have three each of the hearts, cupcakes, presents and flowers.” Then it dawned on me that rather than four cards of the exact same design and layout, I had four cards for each animal holding one of each of the four die cuts!
If you are not already a subscriber to Paper Pumpkin – a little box of wonderful that will arrive in your mail box each month – the deadline to subscribe for each month’s kit is the 10th of the month. So if you want to receive the January kit, be sure that you are an active subscriber by January 10, 2021.
And speaking of next month’s kit …
The January 2021 kit will be Love-themed, most likely Valentine’s related. There is also an add-on kit available (only to active Paper Pumpkin subscribers) – Little Love Boxes.

If you have any questions about becoming a Paper Pumpkin subscriber, I would be happy to help.
Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you leave here inspired to put stamps to ink to paper. Until next time, stamp on my friends.
Greetings my stamping friends! I am still working on Christmas gifts believe it or not and I wanted to share a project with you that I made using the Warm Hugs stamp set with the coordinating Warm Wraps dies.
I made three of these coffee caddies and inside each of the coffee cups are Kcups of Caramel and Vanilla Cappuccinos. As you can see, the bag holds a variety of Hershey’s Kisses. I hope the recipients like coffee & chocolate!
Here are the Stampin’ Up! products that I used in the design of this project, along with hyperlinks to add these products to your shopping cart. (NOTE: Some of these products are included in the Giant Year-End Close-Out sale and may already be sold out.)
Greetings my stamping friends! I spent a little more time in my crafting space over the last few days finalizing my Christmas cards and “wrapping” some gifts for friends and family. I should be packing up my large collection of crafting tools so we can have our carpets cleaned this week, but fun time first, right!?!
I am giving several family members a surprise gift like spotify plaques which is flat and I didn’t want to use a box or a bag this year. Instead I decided to create ENVELOPES to “wrap” them in. If you are familiar with Stampin’ Up!’s products, then you know we have the best designer series paper – ever! I selected this medium to use to create the envelopes.
I needed an envelope that was approximately 4.25″ x 7.00″. Since I tend to “hoard” my crafting tools, I still have my Envelope Punch Board that retired a few years ago. If you also have this or a similar tool in your craft arsenal, here are the details for your starting paper size and first score mark:
Cut your preferred 12″ x 12″ designer series paper down to 9.25″ x 9.25″
Make your first score line at 3.75″ and punch the notch
Rotate paper 90 degrees counter clockwise
Align score mark with the score guide, score and punch
Repeat so that all four sides are scored and punched, always remembering to match your SCORE LINE on your paper to the SCORE GUIDE on the punch board (the 3.75″ starting point only applies to the first scored side)
Your finished envelope will measure 4.50″ x 7.00″.
I then made gift tags using one of the tag punches by Stampin’ Up! (Ornate Tag Topper, retired) and decorated the tags with scraps of matching designer series paper and a die cut. The ribbon I used is also retired, but it was all I had that fulfilled my needs. Feel free to substitute the punch and ribbon with whatever you also happen to have on hand.
Here are the Stampin’ Up! products that I used in the design of these envelopes that remain available for purchase. You can click on the thumbnails below for more information and to add these items to your shopping cart. (NOTE: Some items are currently included in the Giant Year-End Closeout and are available only while supplies last.)
Greetings my stamping friends! I am finally spending some time in my crafting space today and before I switch over to packing mode, I wanted to share with you the still photos from my Facebook Live demonstration that I shared on December 2nd. This presentation featured the October and November 2020 Paper Pumpkin kits, as well as the Tag Buffet Project Kit from the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog.
In case you missed my Facebook Live, here is the link to the saved video on my YouTube Channel:
And now for the still photos:

From time to time, there are extra “refill” kits available for purchase at the end of the month once all subscriptions have been fulfilled. These refill kits are also 0nly available to Paper Pumpkin subscribers. If you are not already a Paper Pumpkin subscriber, HERE is my personal link to subscribe now.

Greetings my stamping friends. I hope you are all doing well and are getting your creativity mojo in gear making lovely holiday cards and gifts for your friends and family.
Please make note of this announcement from Stampin’ Up!:
Whisper White has been a Stampin’ Up! staple for so long. We love it and we know you love it, too. We are sad to announce that the supplier’s mill producing our Whisper White cardstock has permanently closed due to impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic. Unfortunately, we weren’t given much notice on this closure. This means that the technology unique to this particular supplier is now unavailable to us and we can no longer offer our Whisper White cardstock and related products, such as Whisper White Note Cards & Envelopes. Please note that this won’t affect any of our other cardstocks, this only affects Whisper White.
We know Whisper White has a huge fan base; we’re big fans, too! And we are crushed that it’s going away. Even though this decision was out of our hands, rest assured that we jumped right into action to find the best replacement paper possible. We have dedicated many hours to source and test alternative cardstock options from several suppliers to find the perfect fit that still maintains the Stampin’ Up! quality you know and trust. We are happy to share that we have found a winner for our new cardstock, Basic White!
The quality of our new Basic White was thoroughly tested by our quality assurance and product teams. It also tested very well with demonstrators and concept artists who gave it a huge thumbs up. We believe in the quality of the new Basic White cardstock and we know it will become your new crafting staple!
While we expect this to come as quite a surprise, we hope that this transition to our new Basic White products can be an exciting change for everyone!
Our new Basic White products will become available to purchase as soon as we have them in stock. This means that some Whisper White and Basic White products may be available at the same time. Additionally, due to the nature of sourcing, some Basic White products may not be available before the Whisper White products sell out. Please know that we are working on getting these products available to you as fast as possible.
Below is a list of all products that will be replaced with our new Basic White cardstock. These items are now available while supplies last with an order limit of 2 per item per order.
Whisper White 12″ x 12″ (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Cardstock (124302)
Assorted Memories & More Cards & Envelopes (149710)

Greetings my stamping friends. If you missed my post on my Facebook Business Page, the Year-End Closeout of the August-December Mini Catalogs starts tomorrow, December 8th.
All items are available ONLY WHILE SUPPLIES LAST so the sooner you place your order for those must have items the better your chances are to not be disappointed by their selling out.
I posted some links which I understand from other posts by demonstrators aren’t yet working for their customers. So here is a PDF of the products on sale, etc.
If you have any questions or need help placing an order, I would be happy to help.
If you place an online order of $50.00 before tax & shipping and use HOST CODE RZ7D2R26, I will enter your name into a random drawing to receive one of the extra Photopolymer stamp sets from either the October and/or November 2020 Paper Pumpkin kit. If your order is $150.00 or more, do not use the host code (so you get the stamping rewards), but you will still qualify for the drawing. This offer is valid December 8-January 4.
