Nutty Notecards Class to Go

Tomorrow I'm hoping to finally have another Stamping 101 post to share with you, so today you get October's Class to Go a day early!

This month's Class to Go is one that was designed by Brandi Barnard, a demonstrator and employee at Stampin' Up!'s home office. She showed this set of notecards and cute box at the convention this summer, and it was so adorable that I had to share it with all of you, too! Take a look:

Here are the details:
The class costs $42, and you will receive

• the Acorny Thank You stamp set (photopolymer)
• the Acorn Builder Punch
• the set of notecards and matching box pictured above
• a tutorial with a supply list and instructions for duplicating the box and cards

In Brandi's original class, she included the Into the Woods DSP as well, but it gets really expensive to ship 12 x 12 paper, and this way it keeps the cost of the class down a little bit for you. If you'd like to purchase that paper, or any of the other supplies used to make these cards, you can do so in my online store.

If you are interested in purchasing this class to go, please email me no later than October 15. I will send you a request through PayPal to purchase the class, and will then order all of the supplies on October 16. Your class will be mailed to you no later than Monday, October 26.

If you have any questions, please let me know! Don't forget to subscribe to Paper Pumpkin and help Stamp Out Breast Cancer in the month of October!

Happy Stamping!

Stamp Out Breast Cancer with Paper Pumpkin

If you have been reading my blog for any amount of time, then you know that one of my favorite things that Stampin' Up! offers is our monthly kit subscription, Paper Pumpkin. During the month of October, the Paper Pumpkin box will be turning PINK! Here are the details, straight from Stampin' Up!:

To show our support for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we're going PINK . . . or at least our October boxes are! And because we know our subscribers want to share the love too, we will be making a donation on their behalf to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF).
Stampin' Up! will donate

• $1 for every active Paper Pumpkin subscriber.
• Plus, an additional $1 for every new subscriber.

Together, we will make a difference!
Here's how you can help: 

1. Subscribe! If you're new to Paper Pumpkin, click here to get started: https://mypaperpumpkin.com?demoid=2113176. Your first kit will arrive in a limited-edition pink box that you'll want to hold onto forever-and we'll donate $2 because you're new!
2. Stay active if you're a subscriber so we can donate $1 for you. Only those who receive the October shipment will be counted for the donation. Make sure that your account is not suspended, and that your credit card information is current.
3. Spread the word! Help us get as many new subscribers as possible. Every current subscriber adds $1 and for new subscribers it's doubled, so let's get the word out and raise as much as possible.

Remember, those who get the October kit will not only be donating to a good cause, but they will also get a one-time only, pretty pink Paper Pumpkin box! No one will want to miss it. Promise.

More About BCRF

The Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF) advances the world's most promising research to eradicate breast cancer. Founded by Evelyn H. Lauder in 1993, BCRF has raised more than $550 million to fuel discoveries in tumor biology, genetics, prevention, treatment, survivorship and metastasis, making it one of the largest non-governmental funders of breast cancer research in the world. This year BCRF has invested $58.6 million in research, to support over 235 researchers at leading medical institutions across six continents, including $11.6 million to the international Evelyn H. Lauder Founder's Fund focused on metastasis. By spending 91 cents of every dollar on research and public awareness programs, BCRF remains one of the nation's most fiscally responsible nonprofits. BCRF is the only breast cancer organization with an "A+" from CharityWatch, and has been awarded Charity Navigator's highest rating of four stars 13 times since 2002. For more information, please visit: www.bcrfcure.org
.

Additional Details: 

• New subscribers are those who signed up between September 11 and October 10, 2015 and have not been a Paper Pumpkin subscriber at any time in the past. 
• All funds will be donated in US dollars.
• Mini spoiler alert! The October project inside the pink box is just as awesome as always, but we should probably let you know that it is not a pink project. That's all we're saying. ;)
• Funds will be donated based on number of subscribers instead of boxes shipped. But, if you want more than one pink box, you can always increase your subscription quantity by logging into your account at PaperPumpkin.com before October 10.

I hope you'll consider subscribing, even if just for the month of October. This cause is close to my heart - my grandma is a survivor, my good friend Michele is a survivor, and my aunt unfortunately lost her battle with breast cancer in 2007. I'm sure you, too, know people who have been affected by this terrible disease.

If you have any questions about subscribing or signing up, please let me know, and make sure to subscribe by October 10!

Happy Stamping!

Quick & Easy Paper Pumpkin Thank You

If you follow me on Facebook, you probably saw this picture that I posted a few weeks ago.

The stamp set is exclusive to demonstrators, and is meant to help promote and use Paper Pumpkin in our businesses. I recently had a customer reach 12 months of subscribing to Paper Pumpkin, and I wanted to spoil her with a little gift. The gift part is a surprise, but I wanted to share the simple thank you card I made for her using this exclusive stamp set.

Cute, right? I just love Paper Pumpkin! If you haven't tried it yet, now is the time! It is on sale for only one more day - 50% off!!! I like to treat my subscribers, too. Just for subscribing, I will send you a stamp case to store your new stamps, and copies of our current catalogs if you are not already on my mailing list. Then, when you've subscribed consistently for 3, 6, or 12 months, I'll send you little gifts to thank you for your continued business.

I love getting my Paper Pumpkin box in the mail every month! If you'd like to get a better idea of what you'll receive in the kits, check out the video of August's box below.

Holiday Catalog 2015 ~ My Top Ten

Now that you've had the opportunity to take a look at the Holiday Catalog, what items are at the top of your wish list? I think my list would be shorter if I listed the things I didn't want! I did have to limit myself when I placed my first order, though, so I thought I would share my top ten with you today. I'd love to know what's on your list!

1) To You & Yours Shaker Cards Project Kit

This is the very first product in the catalog, and I LOVE it! Plus, 18 cards for $24.00 is a great deal!

2) Home for Christmas Designer Series Paper

So many pretty designs in this paper! A few of my favorites - those cute little reindeer, the music (Silent Night!), and the cozy little Christmas scene.

3) All Ye Faithful Stamp Set

I am my mother's daughter. She collects nativity scenes; I collect nativity stamps. I haven't inked this one up yet, but I think it's going to make a beautiful water-colored card!

4) Red Foil Sheets

Who doesn't love something shiny?! This paper just makes me excited for all things Christmas!

5) Merry Moments Designer Series Paper Stack

If you are looking for inexpensive paper to mass produce your Christmas cards, this paper is it! You get 24 each of 2 double-sided designs. I love the plaid and the polka dots, especially in the traditional Christmas reds and greens!

6) Gold & White 3/8" Glitter Ribbon

Sparkly things are even better than shiny things! The best part about this is that you get both the gold AND the white ribbon in one package!

7) Holidays Fancy Foil Designer Vellum

Have I mentioned that I like shiny things? Ok, good. I also love Christmas. Put the two together, and you get this vellum, which will really make any card or project shine (literally!).

8) Holly Jolly Greetings/Christmas Greetings Bundle

These thinlits and the coordinating stamp set give you endless possibilities for Christmas and holiday sentiments. And the font on those thinlits? Gorgeous!

9) Into the Woods Designer Series Paper

I may love Christmas the most, but who can resist the soft, water-colored look of the prints on this paper? I think the color combo is great for fall, too!

10) Acorny Thank You Stamp Set/Punch Bundle

I wasn't too excited about this one at first, until I saw a set of really cute notecards made with it. Then I was hooked! I'll be re-creating those cards for a class to go next month, and I can't wait for you to see it! If you don't already have this set on your list, you will then!

As you may have noticed, most of the items on my list are geared towards Christmas. It is my favorite holiday, and I can't help but love all of the Christmas products. As I was writing up this list, I stuck only to products I actually ordered. But there are so many more! Make sure to comment with your favorites, and let me know if there is a product you would like to see in the upcoming months.

Don't forget about the Holiday Prize Pack I'm offering to one lucky person who orders this week! Get all the details here!

Happy Stamping!
