Stampin’ Up! Kits make a GREAT Gift for New Stampers!

Have you seen the new kits that are available? If you are looking for a gift idea for someone that wants to try making cards but doesn’t know where to start, the Stampin’ Up! Kits Collection are perfect. They are all inclusive kits, meaning they come with the stamp set, block and stamping spot. Some of the kits have stamping and some come with preprinted sentiments. They make the perfect gift. Check them out in my online store HERE. There are some kits on the Last Chance list so grab them while they are still available.

*********************************************************************************************************

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! AccountTo 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:

Stampin’ Up! Delicate Pines for The Card Concepts

Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend already.

Today’s card is for the inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. The inspiration photo #222 is Christmas Gathering. I used lots of layered on my card, since that is one of my favorite kinds of cards to make. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Delicate Pines Winter 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Delicate Pines Bundle along with the Elegant Pine Snowflakes Designer Series Paper for my card today. I was inspired by the colors along with the snowflake in the photo for my clean and layered card today.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 222.  How are you inspired by the photos?

My design for today’s card was from As You See It Challenge #362

Adhere the layered panel to the card front.

Stampin’ Up! Peace on Earth

Good Saturday morning stamping friends. We are having the best time every here in GA. We’ve been doing a lot of laughing, catching up and eating. There’s always a lot of eating going on when we’re together. Yesterday started with James’ delicious Blueberry French toast and homemade Hash Browns. Lunch was a little lighter with a Baked Potato bar & Salad. We had an amazing Dijon-Crusted Roast Pork Loin with Cranberry & Apple Chutney along with his famous Carrot Souffle (which he really needs to make a double batch of), Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Spinach & Mushroom Risotto.

Today’s card is one of the cards I prepared for our shoebox card swap. We all have to bring a card for everyone else to make at the retreat. I used a design I made a few weeks ago and just changed up the DSP.  If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin’ Up! Rustic Centerpiece Tower Fold

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday!! Are you getting ready for the weekend? I was finally able to get outside and do some weeding and dead heading to my flowers yesterday. I spent about 5 hours outside and only made a small dent. I decided it was time to call it quits when it was 85 with a real feel of 100, and it was going up to over 90. This morning I’m heading out really early again to do the same in my backyard gardens. It’s supposed to be in the upper 90’s today. Hopefully I won’t be out there as long.

I played with some Online Exclusives for today’s card.  If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.
