Stampin' Up! Stamp Sale

For three days only, Stampin' Up! is having a sale on all stamps from the 2024–2024 Annual Catalog.

Stampin' Up! Stamp Sale

From Monday, October 7 through Wednesday, October 9 at 11:59pm MDT you will get 15% off all stamp sets in the 2024–2024 Annual Catalog.

This sale only happens once a year so now is the time to take advantage of the savings.

The 15% off applies to all stamp sets (photopolymer and cling) in the 2024–2024 Annual Catalog.

Bundles are not included in this sale.

Stamp sets are available while supplies last.

If you want to quickly find the stamp sets that are on sale, go to the Specials heading on the Stampin' Up! website:

Stampin' Up! Website featuring Specials Menu Option

If you are taking advantage of the Stamp Sale and your order will total less than $150, please use the October 2024 Host Code JPAHXENC when ordering.

If you are combining orders with friends/family/co-workers and the order total will be $150 or more, do not use the host code, but rather look in the Lost Lagoon area of the shopping cart. If you see "Find a Demonstrator" , please search for me by name, then shop as usual.

When you have what you would like, look for the pink box in the shopping cart,

Stampin' Rewards in Shopping Cart

Then, in the upper right of the pink box click on "Add Items". After clicking "Add Items" your shopping cart will look something like this. In the upper right you will see how much you have to spend on Stampin' Rewards. Put the item number(s) in the box to the left. You can add several items to reach the rewards amount you have available to spend and you are allowed to go over a little (I am unsure if there is a maximum amount you are allowed to go over). If you earn Stampin' Rewards, be sure to use them before finalizing your cart, otherwise they are lost. The Stampin' Rewards can be used on most items and if you happen to select one that is not allowed, you will be alerted in your shopping art.

If you have any questions about using Host Codes, spending Stampin' Rewards or anything Stampin' Up!, please do not hesitate to reach out via the Contact Form to the right (but please be aware that I have a commitment and will be unavailable on Wednesday).

When shopping, please do not forget about the Paper Pumpkin and Kit Collection Sales. I posted the details on October 1. 

Have a great week ahead! If you are in the path of Hurricane Milton, please take care.

Floral Sprig Thank You Card

I just realized I did not share this card. I created the card with the Floral Sprig Embossing Folder & Stencil–a Close To My Heart designed product available from Stampin' Up!

Floral Sprig Thank You Card

I used the Floral Sprig Embossing Folder & Stencils (166349). You could use just the Floral Sprig Stencils (166347) to create a card with less depth or create something tone-on-tone with the Floral Sprig Embossing Folder (166346). In the photo the gold foil layer I used from my stash looks brown; I thought it made a nice frame. I also used the new Artichoke 12" X 12" Two-Tone Cardstock (166448), one of the colors in the Secret Garden collection. I completed this card long enough ago that unfortunately I do not remember with certainty what colors I used for the stenciling. I believe I used Acorn, Wisteria and Jade, all Close To My Heart colors. The sentiment is a CTMH stamp from my stash.

If you have not yet, I encourage you to check out the Secret Garden collection, one of last Close To My Heart branded offerings from Stampin' Up!. As of writing this post, the following Secret Garden products are still available:

166432 - Secret Garden Thin Cuts

166431 - Secret Garden-Scrapbooking Stamp & Thin Cuts

166433 - Secret Garden Paper Packet & Sticker Sheet

166430 - Secret Garden Coordinating Two-Tone Cardstock

166477 - Secret Garden Cardmaking Workshop Kit

166476 - Secret Garden Scrapbooking Workshop Kit

I purchased some Secret Garden items, but have not had an opportunity to create with them, but I have to confess I fawned over the papers and color combination when my order arrived. You will find all of the remaining CTMH™ Products on the Stampin' Up! website.

I hope we all find some crafty time soon.

New Stampin' Up! Products are Available

There are two new kits available this September. I think both are adorable (at least I hope the same kits are available in the USA - I took a look at the SU! page for another country).
