You know how exciting it is when a new Stampin’ Up! catalog comes out and you start seeing all those beautiful new papers, ribbons and embellishments?
You want to try a little bit of EVERYTHING. 😂
That’s what I love about a product share.
But while I was putting together my Holiday share this year, I kept thinking about what happens after that beautiful package arrives.
You open it.
You admire everything.
You organize it.
Maybe you even pet the paper a little bit. (We’re paper crafters. It’s okay to admit it. 😂)
And then…
What are we going to MAKE with all of it?
That’s when my little product share idea started growing.
What if I didn’t just divide everything, package it up and send it to you?
What if we spent the next four months creating with it together?
And what if we didn’t limit ourselves to only the newest products?
What if we pulled out those Christmas stamps we’ve loved for years, the punches we haven’t used lately, the dies we forgot we owned and some of that cardstock that’s already sitting on our shelves?
New paper + old favorites + some new ideas + a group of crafty friends.
Now THAT sounded like fun to me. ❤️
And that’s how…
🎄 Holiday Stash & Create was born!
Your $99 + shipping includes a huge sampling of the new Holiday products:
✂️ 165+ pieces/equivalents of 6″ x 6″ paper from all 14 collections
🤎 6 full sheets of Crumb Cake cardstock—enough for 12 card bases
🎀 25 yards of ribbon, trim & twine
✨ Nearly 300 embellishments
But when your box arrives…
We’re just getting started. ❤️
From September through December, we’ll get together every week on Zoom and create.
Some weeks I’ll send you measurements ahead of time and we’ll Mystery Stamp together.
Some weeks we’ll start with a card sketch.
We’ll play with fun folds and techniques.
We’ll find different ways to use the papers in your sampler.
And sometimes I’m going to walk over to my shelves, pull out an old retired stamp set and say…
“We’re using THIS tonight!” 😂
You can pull out something similar from your own stash.
Because the more I thought about this idea, the more I realized I don’t want you worrying about whether you own exactly what I’m using.
I want you to look at the project we’re making and think:
“Oooooh…I know what I have that would work!”
That’s the fun part.
If I use a tree, use your favorite tree.
If I use a circle die, grab a punch.
If I make mine Christmas and you need a birthday card, change it!
I’ll give you the measurements, the ideas, the techniques and the inspiration.
You bring YOU to the card. ❤️
And by December, my hope isn’t just that we’ve made a stack of beautiful projects.
I hope you’ve rediscovered a few things you’d forgotten you owned.
I hope you’ve finally cut into some paper you’d been saving.
I hope you’re looking at your stamps a little differently.
And I really hope you’ve had FUN sitting down once a week and creating with us.
Because after 34 years of teaching, I’ve realized something…
I may have retired from the classroom, but apparently I’m not finished teaching. 😂
My classroom just has a lot more pretty paper now. ❤️
“Yep. This sounds like my kind of crafting!”
I’d love to have you join us. ❤️
Here’s how to reserve your Holiday Stash & Create:
1. Contact me to let me know you’d like a spot.
You can use the contact form on my website, email me, or message me through Facebook.
2. I’ll send you the preorder and payment information.
3. Your spot is reserved once your payment is received.
Because all of the products are divided equally among four participants, I’ll be filling Stash & Create in groups of four.
Once your group is filled and the preorder period closes, I’ll place the order and get to work!
