Save The Date - 2024 World Card Making Day

Mark your calendars now for World Cardmaking Day 2024!

World Cardmaking Day 2024

Join fellow crafting enthusiasts on October 5 from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. EDT for a FREE virtual event hosted by Stampin' Up! in honor of World Card Making Day! Registration opens on September 3, 2024, and is the best way to stay up to date on all event details.

Stampin' Up! asks Demonstrators to "check back on August 27 for more information!", so as soon as I learn anything, I will be sure to pass the information along.

This will be my very first World Cardmaking Day with Stampin' Up!. I am looking forward to learning more about it!

Happy crafting!

If your order will total less than $150, please use the August 2024 Host Code 4VK7G94N 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 for the pink box in the shopping cart,

Stampin' Rewards in Shopping Cart

If you see "Find a Demonstrator" in the Lost Lagoon area of the shopping cart, please search for me by name.

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 Hostess Codes, spending Stampin' Rewards or anything Stampin' Up!, please do not hesitate to reach out via the Contact Form to the right.

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

Color Comparison – CTMH to SU

The staff at Stampin' Up! Corporate Offices looked at Close To My Heart colors, provided suggested color matches to Stampin' Up! colors and created this Color Comparison chart for us.

Color Comparison – CTMH to SU

You can save a copy of the Color Comparison in PDF format to your device by clicking here; I also created a page with this information. It is "pinned" to the top in the green bar so it will be easy to find.

I hope you will find this information helpful on your creative journey.

What's New for August 2024

Happy August! I hope everyone is enjoying their summer. If you've taken a summer vacation I hope your travels were uneventful and you had a fabulous time. If your summer vacation is later this month I hope your chosen mode(s) of travel are nothing like what happened a couple of weeks ago, you have perfect weather at your destination and a wonderful time away.
