Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. I hope your week has started off well. Last week was a very busy hectic week for me. It started on Monday when we added a new addition to the family. I’d like you to meet Coraline’s little sister Gidget. I adopted her last Monday. She was 10 weeks old yesterday and has fit right in comfortable with us. She’s just as sassy as Cora is, and every night we have a little barking fest between the 2 of them. Once Gidget is ole enough to be free in the house (we’re working on house breaking her now), I can see the 2 of them following each other around and being best buds. We’re not sure what she is yet, we sent the DNA in last week.

For today, I put together a kit that I purchased. I’m not really a kit person, but I really liked this one and I wanted to have it to display for the vendor event last Saturday. The kits collection from Stampin’ Up! are perfect for new or beginner stampers. The kits come with everything you need to make them.

This is the Stampin’ Up! Happy House Plants Kit. It’s an all-inclusive kit that doesn’t require any stamping, just assembling. The Happy Houseplants Kit is an adorable home decor crafting kit! This kit comes with four 6″ x 6″ (15.2 x 15.2 cm) white frames and precut paper pieces for you to curl and assemble inside the frame. You’ll end up with four coordinated houseplant decor pieces. They can stand by themselves, or you can hang them on your wall.

I had all 4 of these put together in less than 30 minutes.

This was really super easy to put together.

I assembled each of the plants first.

Put the mat in the frame and put the photos on top of the mat. Put the frame backing on and I was done.

Kit includes:
* Predesigned projects
* Step-by-step instructions
* Precut pieces (No prep work! Get right to crafting)
* 4 white frames
* Frame size: 7-1/8″ x 7-1/8″ x 7/16″ (18.1 x 18.1 x 1.1 cm)
* Enough adhesive to complete projects
* A 7-3/4″ x 7-1/2″ x 3″ (19.7 x 19 x 7.6 cm) printed designer box for storage or crafting on the go

Product colors: Calypso Coral, Garden Green, Granny Apple Green, Lemon Lime Twist, Pecan Pie

Item #163873 $25.00

Here’s a quick video that Stampin’ Up! made showing how to put the kit together.

The Stampin’ Up! Kits Collections have all-inclusive paper crafting kits that are easy and quick. The projects range from cards to fun kids projects and home decor items and contain everything you need to complete the project including stamps, stamp pads and stamp blocks.

If you need any stamping supplies, I’d love to be your Demonstrator. Just click HERE to go directly to my online store or drop me an email if you have any questions. 

MY CURRENT HOST CODE IS:   GVPUUBAZ

Use this host code when placing an order with me. When you order $50 or greater you will receive a free gift from me! If your order is over $150, please do not use this code, but you’ll still get the free gift. The free gift is your choice of any 1 item valued up to $10.00 from the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog, the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog or from the Online Exclusives!  Unfortunately, packs of cardstock are no longer an option for a free gift. Shipping has become too expensive to ship and it’s costing me as much to ship as the cardstock costs. For any orders $50 or more I will also send you my monthly class tutorials.  Click HERE or go to my Customer Rewards for more details and to see what this month’s tutorials are.

Please remember to use my current Host Code and make sure that you can see my name on the final checkout page listed as your Demonstrator when you order so that you know that you’re ordering with me, and you’ll get my rewards! 

Happy Stamping, Karen

In response to changing policies at Stampin’ Up – I’m adjusting my Ordering Gift policy as well.  I’m having to get a little more tough on the adding of Host codes when you place your order thru my Online Store.

Not to worry – you’re still going to get that $10 ordering gift for orders of $50 (before shipping & tax) or greater.  And the gift is still any 1 SU! product up to that $10 value – which includes some of our fun Host Sets!

But – if you DO NOT use the Host code for your orders of less than $150 (this is the RETAIL total before Shipping & Handling), then you’ll have two options:

1. You’ll need to call Stampin’ Up! (1-800-Stamp-Up) and ask them to add it for you. They’re very helpful and will get it done quickly!  OR….
2. If your order was over the $50 threshold but under $150, then…you’ll forfeit that $10 ordering gift and rewards – this is the Bummer Option – and I REALLY don’t want to do this, SO please remember to add my Current Host Code.
