Nutz about Stamping

Perhaps this is the time to consider crafting kits?

Last night I was thinking about all of you (my crafting friends!) sitting in quarantine now and I wondered how I can help you with ideas. Perhaps you are thinking of friends and family far away from home and want to do more than FaceTime or message them. 

I have a great solution!

Perhaps this is the time to consider crafting kits: Paper Pumpkin! The April kit offers you a lovely way to connect with friends and family:

Love your family? Let them know! Apri's kit sentiments help you share your grateful heart with mom, dad, your daughter, son, sister and brother. You'll also get Mother's Day and Father's Day option, plus the multi-occasion “I’LL ALWAYS BE HERE FOR YOU.” sentiment. 

With so much love in this month's kit, you won't want to miss it! Here's just a sneak peek; you will have to wait until your first kit arrives to see the kit contents.

Why not explore the fabulous Holiday Catalog with me?

The Holiday Catalog has been live for under a week so it's time to turn those pages and start noticing things! As you explore, here's a wish list so you can pencil in your favorites as you go. 

Click on the photo above to download a full page list!

So, where shall we begin? How about with a product medley? What is a product medley you ask? Great question! It is like a kit in that you get everything you need to make a ton of cards but without instructions and a fancy box. (note: you need to supply your own additional cardstock ink and adhesives)

You will design your cards, tags, scrapbook pages (etc) all on your own. Think of the medley as a one-stop shop. As a grouping of products that Stampin' Up! has selected for you, for hours of crafting fun. 

Note: Stampin' Up! used to sell product medleys as a special one-month promotion and this is the first time they are trying a medley in a catalog. 

So now that you have your catalog, turn to page 39. Introducing the Most Wonderful Time product medley (order #150705)! Also available in French and German.
