Get it while you can: Love & Courage

This stamp set was the first to catch my eye when I got my new catalog.

If I'm being honest, it was the sunflower that first caught my attention, I love them; but you know I've always been a sentiment fan. 

2026 Check-In & Resolution

Paper Pumpkin Kit Sample

Hey there friends.  It has been a while.  Too long, and I'm sorry.  I will try to do better.  

It's hard to believe it but 2026 has finally arrived.  Our family decided that 2025 was a dud when we were just a few months in.  It certainly didn't give us many reasons to celebrate.  Some might describe it as a bad sitcom with no off switch.  We'd been saying for a while that we could really use a good slow down, but I've since realized that perhaps we need to be much more careful about what wish for.  The Universe tends to deliver things in too literal a sense sometimes.  I certainly would not have signed off on this plan as it stands. 

No Tricks just Treats!

Stampin' Up! Has announced 2 new join specials for the month of October.  You won't want to miss this opportunity! 

Today's the Day - New Catalog Launch - New Kit Special - Wowzers!

It's a Beautiful day in the neighborhood.. a beautiful day in the ...    today is the day! I get to share the shiny new catalog with you! We also kick off a brand new kit special today.  Read on..

Let's Get the Party Started - What do I need to get started?

 

I am often asked by new crafters what they NEED to buy to get started.  The answer really depends..  I have always prided myself on helping my customers meet their crafting goals, within their budgets.  Not everybody is able to get everything they want up front - and I totally get that.  Life is expensive enough, and our hobbies don't always get the time and attention that we'd love to shower them with. 

Reconnecting with my Happy Place

 

Oh my goodness I feel like this corner of my world has been way too neglected for too long.  I promise, I'm working on it! 

We're in the second month of Sale-a-Bration and if you haven't had a chance to take a look at that, you're going to want to do that SOON.   Stampin' Up! has just launched additional FREEBIES to the SAB rewards too - gotta love that!

New Clubs Coming your way - Won't you join us?

Is your wish list bigger than your budget? Don't want to host an event - Join the club!

As we head into December and January, my clubs are starting up again. It seems like almost forever since we were all able to get together and create. We're long overdue.

My regular club has always been more of an "in person" adventure with a few virtual members here and there. Thanks to Covid-19 everything has shifted to a more distanced variety.

The club can be done in a variety of ways depending on the group that is participating. Each hinges on the premise of a qualifying party being $200 before receiving hostess benefits. Some wanted a make and take project to inspire them each month, and others only wanted the products.

My most popular options are usually a commitment of 6 months, spending $35 each month but your group of 4 patrons could easily spend $50 for 4 months or $20 for 10 months and achieve the same goal. Each month a different member gets all the perks and spoils of having been a hostess and you don't even have to get dressed up or clean your house!

You can join an already established club or gather a few friends and make your own. We can plan a monthly get-together. I usually plan it for after the orders have come in so you not only get "new stuff" but you have time to play with it right then and there. We can also arrange a virtual get together on Skype or Zoom or Facebook for you, or your group so that we can still enjoy each other's company while we create.

We can also make a private group for members to share and inspire each other.

For my in person clubs, I would normally advocate your purchase be in by the 1st or 15th of each month as the orders would come here and be packed and ready to go at the same time for everyone. For a virtual club that isn't as imperative, but the group should agree on a date so that the host for that month isn't waiting endlessly for their chance to choose their host perks. During your month, sharing your hostess code with creative family and friends across Canada is encouraged and helps drive up the amount you get in free shopping dollars.

Sign-ups for one of my upcoming clubs or reach out to start your own.

6 month: December 2022 - May 2023 or January 2023 - June 2023

You commit to purchasing at least $35 per month for 6 months.

4 month: December 2022 - March 2023 or January 2023 - April 2023

Thankful Thursday: Back to Basics

 

Do you ever get to feeling like you're so far behind that you might be in line for the next round already? It's funny how we can give ourselves whole-heartedly in the service of others but somewhere in there, we forget to take care of ourselves. It's time for a change. Some might say that it's long overdue.

Last Two Days! Get The March 2021 Paper Pumpkin Kit!

You only have today and tomorrow to sign up for the Paper Pumpkin Kit for March 2021! 

Sign up now so you won’t miss out! This one is really different! It’s not more florals or a holiday theme, this kit has cards with a theme of hills and mountains to celebrate life’s milestones. 

Stamp With Me - The best is yet to be!

New Clubs Starting in March! 

Is your wish list bigger than your budget? Don't want to host an event - Join the club! 

Joining a club is a great way to break down your wish-list into more manageable bites. 

Marching back to the Creative Zone V. 21.0

 

As we head into March, we've all been talking about how much more we need our creative outlets; perhaps more than ever before.  

New to Paper Crafting? Want to dip your toes in before going for a swim? Meet Paper Pumpkin!

Are you new to stamping and paper crafting? Not sure where to start? I can help!

We've all had those purchases that we've bought on a whim with the best of intentions, only to have it sit on a shelf gathering dust and going nowhere.

When you say yes but the piggy bank says no - Join a Club!

The downside is that we aren't getting to play in person, and I have so missed my crafty friends but the upside is that nobody is having to pay for fuel or brave the weather, and perhaps most importantly ~ we aren't taking the chance of getting anyone sick!

Is your wishlist bigger than your budget? Don't want to host an event - Join the club!

As we head into August and September my clubs are starting up again. My regular club has always been more of an "in person" adventure with a few virtual members here and there. Thanks to Covid-19 everything has shifted to a more distanced variety.

Each month a different member gets all the perks and spoils of having been a hostess and you don't even have to get dressed up or clean your house!

You can join an already established club, or gather a few friends and make your own club. Once we're all able to get together again we can meet in person to create together. In the meantime we can arrange a virtual get together on Skype or Zoom for you, or your group so that we can still enjoy each other's company while we create.

We can also make a private group for members to share and inspire each other.

Don't Blink: Where does the time go?

I'm not gonna lie ~ when I  hopped in today to update all the links for our new catalogs and ensure all the website information was still functional with the changes I was more than a little taken aback when I realized how long it had been since I'd shared here. 

Changing up the Club for October 1st!

A new round of club starts in October, and I have decided to change things up somewhat.  

From the Stampin' Up! Blog: Supporting Those Devastated by Hurricanes

IN THIS, WE MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Along with many of you, we are watching with concern as stories unfold about the devastation left behind in Texas and Louisiana by Hurricane and Tropical Storm Harvey. Though no one knows how many lives have been affected, Harvey is said to be one of the worst natural disasters in U.S. history, and the damage caused by massive flooding will be felt for years to come.

With you, we’re also trying to stay informed on the progress of Hurricane Irma; as we write this, Irma has not yet made landfall but is currently classified as a catastrophic Category 5 storm. It will almost certainly leave as much destruction in its wake as Hurricane Harvey and will affect the lives of tens of thousands of people.

As a Stampin’ Up! family, we invite you to help us give to those who are now (or will soon be) trying to rebuild their lives. From now until the end of October, Stampin’ Up! will match donations made to the American Red Cross, dollar-for-dollar, for up to $50,000. Please click here to donate.

The Stampin’ Up! community is already making a difference through ongoing hurricane relief efforts. Here are some ways people are raising money.

• Demonstrators are donating a portion of their commissions.
• Demonstrators are holding dedicated events, including retired product sales, where all proceeds are being donated to hurricane relief.
• Customers are being invited to donate at events. 
• Demonstrators are selling unused cards or are mounting past swaps on card bases and selling them (in accordance with the Angel Policy) to raise hurricane relief funds.

If you’re a Stampin’ Up! customer and would like to help, reach out to your demonstrator and see if they are holding any fundraising events you can be a part of, or click here to donate to the American Red Cross.

Together, we can do incredible things! We hope you’ll join us . . . because we truly can make a difference. 

Catching up with my crafty friends..

Though I hadn't really made a big announcement, I was pretty sure that by now most had heard my "big news."  Aside from some personal notifications, I'd posted a few things about the tests on social media and had posted on my personal blog.  I was pretty sure most knew.. Until this weekend.
