Good Sunday morning stamping friends. I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend. It’s COLD here in NJ and I’m not liking it so much. We were in the teens last night and today it’s only supposed to be in the low 30’s with rain, which makes my bones cold.

Today I’m sharing, what I believe is the last of the Christmas cards that I received in the mail over the past couple weeks.

I love this beautiful card made by my friend, team member and partner in crime Tara. Cherry Cobbler and Secret Sea together make such a rich looking card.

This gorgeous fun fold card was made by my friend and team member Sue. I just love the Black, White and Gold, it makes such a classy card.

This pretty card was made by my team member and friend Shirley. I just love the velvety texture of that tree.

This adorable fun fold card was made by my friend and customer Pam. I think she knows how much I LOVE Lost Lagoon and Pretty Peacock. That little snowman is just too cute.

This absolutely stunning card was made by my friend and customer Gloria. I love the Cherry Cobbler and gold and look at all those layers!! Now that’s my kind of card and that ornament cut from the DSP is perfect.

This beautiful card was made by my friend (former neighbor) and customer Valerie. That DSP is just gorgeous and against the Cherry Cobbler give it such a rich feel.

Another gorgeous Black, White & Gold card made by my friend and customer Arlene. Love this design so much

This fun easel card was made by my friend and customer Barbara. Love that little bear sneaking through the trees.

This pretty fun fold card was made by my friend and customer Carol. I love the way she made this fun fold (and she knows how much I love fun folds). More of that pretty velvety texture on the flowers and boughs.

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today. I hope you enjoyed seeing this group of cards as much as I enjoyed receiving them.

New Product Of The Month from Stampin’ Up! Available

The December Product of the Month is available and it’s beautiful. The True Blue Florals 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper is available for $5 with a qualifying order of $75 + before shipping & tax, but only while supplies last.

If you love exclusive products, you’re going to love Product of the Month, a promotion centered around a special product release every month!  The Product of the Month items are specially designed to be some of the best items Stampin’ Up! has to offer that aren’t available in any of our catalogs or our Online Exclusives.

The first Product of the Month is now available to order and it will be available while supplies last!!

Every month Stampin’ Up! will release a new item that is only available for purchase once per account. These items will be limited quantity and are likely to sell out quickly once they’re sold out, they’re gone for good! 

Here are the details:

• Qualifying Amounts. 

You can purchase the Product of the Month item for only $5 when you spend $75 or more in a single order. Your cart total MUST be $75 or more at checkout to qualify. You cannot add the Product of the Month to your cart until you’ve reached the qualifying amount. If you use Stampin’ Rewards, coupons, or discount codes on your order and your cart amount falls below $75, you’ll need to add items in your cart to get the total at or above the qualifying amount again. If you reach the qualifying amount, add the Product of the Month to your cart, and the Product of the Month sells out before you’re able to check out, you won’t be able to complete your checkout until you remove the product from your cart.

• Product of the Month Price. Currently the Product of the Month is only $5. 
• Stampin’ Up! Account. To participate in Product of the Month, you MUST have a Stampin’ Up! account.
• A New Product Every Month. Stampin’ Up! will release a new Product of the Month item every month. The Product of the Month items will be available at midnight sometime near the beginning of every month. Keep an eye out for the Product Of The Month to be announced and when the new Product of the Month item will be available. You will be able to view the newly released products on the Product of the Month page in the Online Store.
• Product of the Month Purchasing Limit. The Product of the Month is limited to one month’s product per Stampin’ Up! account. Additionally, the Product of the Month items are only available while supplies last, so once they’re all sold out, they’re gone for good. 
• Order Restrictions. All types of orders (as long as the person ordering has a Stampin’ Up! account), and phone orders all apply toward the qualifying amount for a single order. Starter Kit orders and gift orders do NOT apply toward the qualifying amount. You cannot qualify for the Product of the Month by making separate purchases that eventually amounts to $75 or more. The only way you can qualify for Product of the Month is with a single order that reaches the qualifying amount.
• Canceled Orders. If you have an order with a Product of the Month included in it, and you decide to cancel the order, you WILL be able to re-qualify and re-purchase the Product of the Month as long as it’s still available.
• Starter Kits. When someone orders a Starter Kit, the price of the kit will NOT count toward the qualifying amount to earn the Product of the Month. After purchasing a Starter Kit, your next order will begin to qualify for the Product of the Month.
• Available Until Sold Out. Product of the Month products will be available until they’re sold out. Once they’re sold out, they won’t be available for purchase again. If you didn’t qualify to purchase the Product of the Month during the month it was first offered and it’s still available in the following months, you can purchase that product once you reach the qualifying amount. So, if you didn’t qualify in January but you qualify in February, you can choose to buy the January Product of the Month, provided it’s still available for purchase and you meet the qualifying amount. If you buy the January Product of the Month but still want the February Product of the Month, you’ll need to qualify again.

Here is a short video from Stampin’ Up! with a few of the details:

Let me know if you have any questions.
