O.k……I know what the calendar says – today is the 28th of July but knowing that July was going to be a super busy month for me with my ankle and convention etc…..I offered my monthly Stamp of the Month Club to people that subscribed previously (just to make sure I could fulfill them without stressing myself out) but I have 5 spots open so if you would like to take advantage of this fun kit, please email me!
Here is a "peek" of the fun that will be included in the kit! I will be continuing to work on the kits this week, (I was smart and sent a box of goodies to Hannah) so when I have something to do at the hotel while she is at work! Bummer that I am on that darn scooter as Athens, GA is a fun area!
Click on it to make it larger and you will see a glimpse of the fun….LOVE the festive colors and I am doing some different techniques!
For those of you that are not familiar with my kits here is the scoop! (Hopefully those that have purchased them before can leave a comment with their take on my monthly kits)
My kits are all inclusive and you will be able to sit down and create works of art and not only feel super good about yourself, but you will learn new techniques and tips!
- The stamp set that I am featuring this month is Tin of Cards (page 110 in the catalog). This is a FABULOUS Photopolymer Set that has fabulous sentiments. (In my opinion, this IS the must have stamp set of the new catalog as these sentiments are just great to use with punches, banners etc…)
- In my kits, I provide you with (3) completed samples along with lined envelopes and then you will have the "makings" to make (2) more of each sample and envelopes!
- I also send you a super cute bonus card as my "Thank you" to you….so in total you will receive/make 10 cards in the kit.
- I have everything all ready for you to be able to sit and have some great "me time"
- I will email you a PDF of all of the supplies and dimensions of each card along with a private link to a video for each card. This way you get a great experience of learning and actually seeing the "how to's" along with tips and tricks!
- I use a very sturdy box to mail all of your stamp set and goodies in so nothing is ever dented or damaged. The cost of the kit of $45.00.
- If you already have this stamp set…..no worries, just let me know what you would like me to substitute for the value of the stamp set, $17.00 and I will be happy to do so.
I only have 5 spots open for this month! Please email me and put in the subject line July Stamp of the Month Club so I can "spot it" and I will send you a confirmation and then follow up with a Pay Pal invoice.
I know that you will enjoy the kit and also learn a bunch! I plan to have all kits shipped out on Tuesday (a week from today)
You know what today is……Weekly Deal Day! – Please click here to see the offerings this week! Tuesday is always a fun day when there are specials for us to take advantage of! While you are there, click the clearance rack – there are some keepers in there as well!
Have a great day and until tomorrow!

Happy April Fools Day! I ask you….do you play pranks? I will say that halfway through the day I forget that it is April Fools Day and I always get snagged!
I must say…I thought LONG and HARD about this months stamp set….I know that we all realize that a new catalog is right around the corner so I thought about being super practical!
This stamp set, Perfect Pennants is a great stamp set and IF it gets retired, you will not go wrong with this investment….WHY….there are not only GREAT sentiments but the simple and practical "heart and star" as well as the "washi tape looking images" are perfect for so many cards!
My stamp kits are super fun as you will get samples of (3) cards and also the "necessities" to make (2) more of them and then I will give you my "thank you"…the card using the "hello" from this set but also had the fabulous flower from the Petal Potpourri Set (beautiful set)
Here is the kit…I think that you will be happy as there are lots of great techniques and embossing, ribbon and button fun! The kit comes complete with everything…all you need is some "me time" and have fun!
I will also send you a link for videos on how I made the card along with some tips and tricks that I think will help you in your card-making – it will be like you+ me= a fun time together!
(You can click on the picture to make the images bigger)
When I sit down and create these kits, I think of how you can not only learn, but how you can duplicate these techniques to make fun cards for future stamp sets that you have!
The cost of the kit is $45.00. If you would like to be part of the fun…please email me and put in the subject line, APRIL STAMP OF THE MONTH KIT, so I can spot it!
I will send you a Pay Pal invoice after the Club fills…if you are wondering – I ALREADY HAVE THIS STAMP SET! No worries, just let me know what Items you would like at the value of the stamp set, $21.95 and I will gladly substitute it.
I send you the samples, the "makings" for you to make (2) more of each of the cards, a link to videos for you to "see me in action" (scary) - and you will be one happy stamper!
My kits are fun and I love helping you reach your goals but I can only do so many, so please do not wait to reserve yours! Please make sure that you email me your address (it really makes it bunch easier for me – even if you have participated in the past) when you sign up.
Thanks a bunch for your support, and please pop back tomorrow…it's a PPA Color Challenge that is fun! It's a pastel color challenge and I was scratching my head, but in the end – I think you will like it!

Hello…hello – it's that time again….time to share with you this month's kit! I was having a "creative block" and thank goodness it broke and I am super happy and proud to offer this kit to you!
I find that the easiest way to sum this kit up is…fun, practical, fresh, classic and super clean with learning some new techniques that I know that you will use over and over again with future cards!
I realize that this stamp set is not as expensive as other offerings that I have had in the past so this month I am going to add (2) more cards….you will get the (4) sample cards and then you will be able to make (2) of each = 8 cards this month plus your super cute thank you from me for you to fill with chocolates! (you can click on the below picture to make it larger)
You have heard me blog about this before…when in doubt – go with the sentiments and this is why the minute I saw this new stamp set, I knew that it was going to be a kit set…you are going to LOVE this kit and I am using the super DSP, Back to Black to accent and highlight the fun colors I am using this month.
I have come up with some fun and new techniques for the envelope decorating…that I am sure you will start to see new ways to make your envelopes beautiful and fun!
For those of you that have purchased kits from me before, (1st – thank-you) but I promise that this one will make you happy. They are just so darn practical that the minute you finish each card you will want to send it to a friend right away and then go make more!
The kit cost remains the same – $45.00. Please email me and put in the subject line MARCH STAMP OF THE MONTH CLUB so I can quickly see that you want the kit this month.
My kits have become very popular so please do not wait to reserve one. (I can only make so many as you can imagine making the samples takes time) and I do pride myself in making sure that your samples are super-de-duper for you.
When you email me, please make sure that I have your address so I know where to mail the kit to. If you already have this stamp set, no worries…simply substitute another stamp set or product at the value of $14.95. If you do need a substitute – PLEASE let me know when you email me.
I have lots of great ribbons, punches, framlits and fun in this kit. All of the cards are an A-2 card size. Please feel free to email me if you have any questions.
Thank you for your ongoing support to my monthly kits…it brings me joy that you enjoy making them – this one is super practical and it really showcases a clean and crisp look.
I will do another post today letting you know who won the personal challenge yesterday – I went to bed super early and I figured that I might have some people submit a masterpiece while I was snoozing!
Until later!

Hello again….I squeaked this in by my "noon promise" and I hope that you are as happy as I am! The stamp set for this month is drum roll…..drum roll….
Painted Petals
This set is very unique, very versatile and I can tell you honestly… it was a bit of a challenge working with it and then it was like learning to ride a bike….and OFF I WENT!
My goal each month is to teach you how to use different types of stamp sets, to be comfortable in accomplishing a beautiful finish projects and to help you learn new techniques!
Some of the scoop on this months kit…your "Thank You" from me is the adorable 3-D Bag with the oh so cute trim and sentiment as "You DO make my day"….I will have it all ready for you with the exception of you having to expose the sticky strip…fill it with whatever….tie your fru-fru and make someone smile!
Another new thing….since I have been on my bum – I have received many "Hallmark" cards that are square but they were mailed in a regular envelope….(honestly I thought my friends were loosing their minds and just picked up the wrong envelope) but in fact – it is BRILLIANT as you do not have to add extra postage….
So….this month there is a 4 1/2" card and you get a double pleasure…..I am going to cut for you a square envelope (you will adhere it together and also show you how I line the square envelopes) plus I will also give you with your samples to make a regular A-2 envelope also jazzed up with a fun liner!
The cost of this kit is $45.00
(and it is based on price of the photopolymer of $23.95)
This set is also unique as it comes in all 3 different stamp choices (Photopolymer ($23.95), the clear mount ($24.95) and Wood ($32.95) so if you want this set in another mount choice, please let me know. (Isn't it great that stampin' up! is giving us choices to fit the "Stampin likes" that we each have!)
For those of you that have never received a kit…this is what you get!
- Full Sample Cards and decorated envelopes and then the "fixins" for you to make (2) more of the cards that I have sampled for you.
- I will have a items cut, embossed, trim….everything you need to complete the cards
- A "Thank You" gift from me…(I think that this one is super cute)
- A handout that will give you full measurements along with tips and tricks
- A video link for the participants so they cab see me put together the cards just in case they need more reassurance than the handout!
I take great pride in my kits and for those of you that have received them before, you know 1st hand the FUN of the kits! In total you will end up with (9) cards and that super cute bag! (I know that many of you are very skeptical about making projects other than cards…..you will love this and trust me, it is a great little bag)
Please shoot me an email back and put in the subject line:
FEBRUARY STAMP OF THE MONTH KIT
Please make sure that I have your address and also…please let me know if you need a substitution stamp set (perhaps you already have this one) or if you want it other than in the photopolymer….I will adjust your bill accordingly!
Many thanks for the patience my January Clubbers gave to me – it was a crazy month but I am in a "groove" now! I have a knee scooter on both floors of the house so I can roll all around!
I think that this kit turned out fabulous and I think that the different techniques I am going to share with you are going to make you do the "Happy Stampin' Dance" (I love that "puzzle" type one)
Please do not wait to reserve yours…..my little hands can only make up so many and I do take great pride in the completed samples I provide for you! Many thanks for your support and I hope that you GO FOR IT! Last month I SOLD OUT….I think that the ideas are just endless with this stamp set and I know that you are going to love the kit!
Stampin' hugs! - Until tomorrow….

Good afternoon…I was hoping to get this out hours ago but my computer has been tied up with upgrading my I Movie and trying to upload something to You Tube….
Yes…I am serious about this video thing that I shared with you earlier today and I used my December Stamp of the Month Club stampers as quinea pigs….I have a long way to go before they look somewhat professional but I am trying.
As my son James says…"Start Small…Think Big" I am determined…enough – let's get to the January Stamp of the Month Club Kit.
This was soooo hard to pick as I knew that I wanted to do a new stamp set from the Occasions Catalog…and it is…Sheltering Tree!
I think that when I first saw this stamp set my head was spinning as I thought of the Wonderous Wreath set in how you can change up the colors to make it useful all year round! This is the same with this set and the sentiments are WOW!
I have goodies for all seasons and I think that you will really learn to have fun mixing colors to get great depths and effects! It was an "out of the box" for me but they are super fun!
Because this is a more expensive Stamp Set, I am going to have to charge $45.00. If you have purchased my kits before, I think that you will know that it will be well worth it. This stamp set is $24.95 and trust me, I put a lot of time and love into my kits!
What will you get with a kit….
- The Stamp Set (If you are a SUD and already have ordered this on your preorder, I will gladly substitute another stamp set at the same value, $24.95)
- 4 Completed Samples of the cards and then the "makings" for you to make (2) more of each sample. Did you notice I am doing 4 cards this month…I am getting the "kit" thing down now and I realized that I will not have as much cutting and punching on my end so I wanted to treat you to an extra card this month. (plus I felt bad having to charge more)
- A handout that will give you the scoop on the card measurements, tools I used and how to put it together.
- A video…this video will be just for the Kit Club Members….I will put together each card and give you tips and tricks along the way (I think that this months kit has a bunch of shading techniques and double stamping that the video will really, really be a huge help to you…many of us get intimidated with these techniques and I am here to say….if I can do it – YOU CAN DO IT!
- A thank you card from me…I love to treat you to a handmade card from me (and I think that this one is super cute)
I can only make up so many kits so with that said, please do not wait to reserve a kit. This is a super busy month as I will be attending the Leadership Conference with Stampin' Up! at the end of the month and these kits need to go and get out the door before I hop on that plane!
I am super proud of this months cards…I worked hard to come up with several different ideas and techniques that I am hoping you will enjoy! Now what do you do….
You email me back and please put in the subject line January Stamp of the Month Kit and I will reserve a spot for you. Please remember, these kits are limited as my little hands (and brain) can only do so many as I do like to provide you with samples that are beautiful!
I will send a Pay Pal invoice or if you would rather pay by check, please email me.
Many thanks for your support to my Stampin' Up fun and reserve your kit today!!! Get ready to see the new catalog online tomorrow….it's a keeper!
p.s. – Stamp of the Month Kits do not count towards your Paw Print Rewards but if you purchase 4 Stamp of the Month Kits…when you order your 5th one…I will "double up" the cards for you to make!
