The Christmas Card Stamp Camp was held on Saturday Oct. 17th.  It was quite a busy day and I'd like to thank everyone that came!  While it was not the type of event we are used to, everything worked out well!  

I do have a limited number of kits left.  If anyone is interested please let me know. The cost of each kit is $55.  They come with complete directions including pictures and everything you need except for the adhesive, ink and stamps.   Contact me by phone or email to arrange delivery of your kit!




That reminds me, if you ever text me and I do not respond, please double check the number you sent the text to.  Recently a few people ask why I didn't respond to their text messages.  Come to find out they sent a text to my home (a land line) number and of course I don't get texts there.  So let me update my numbers for you, my home (land line) phone number is 928-369-3701 and the number to my cell phone (where I do receive text messages) is 928-242-0700.  Please know that when ever I get a message I will respond, be it an email or text.  

Class Schedule:


While our community is currently seeing an increase in cases of the Corona virus, I will opt on the side of caution and not hold any in person classes this month.

This month our hostess is Diane Y.!  Please be sure to get your orders in to me before Friday, Nov. 27th.  The Hostess Code for online orders is: 3JUMA4MJ 
Would you like to learn how to quickly make 4 cards at one time?  

I'm going to offer a couple Zoom classes to show you how to quickly create this type of card set.  I used only 1 stamp set, the Forever Fern stamp set (#152559  $24.00).  You might have something at home you can use too or if you'd like I would be happy to order this stamp set for you. 

The materials I used are:
3 sheets of Very Vanilla card stock, 2 sheets were cut into
   5 1/2" x 8 1/2" for the card bases.   
1 sheet of a coordinating colored piece of card stock,
   cut into 4 - 5 1/4" x 4" pieces. 
An assortment of ink pads.

 2020 Christmas Card Stamp Camp

While everything is different this year, I was able to hold this annual event.  It took place at The Country Court Event Hall in Lakeside on October 17th.   Thank you to everyone that came!  I took a few pictures before and from the afternoon session.


In keeping with the COVID guidelines, there were 2 sessions, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.  The ladies that came got to make their 35 Christmas cards, received door prizes, enjoyed snacks and were able to socializing while stamping and assembling their cards.

In order to help the attendees, I had already punched and die cut everything I could so the only thing they needed to do was stamping and some dry embossing with the embossing machines.  




For those that couldn't come to the in person event,  I offered "kits" with all the materials for completing the cards, except for the ink and stamping.  There are still a few kits available if anyone is interested, please let me know.

August 2020 Stamping News

Hello my crafty friends!  


I'm so excited to share with you the August-December 2020 Mini Catalogs and have been busy trying to get the new catalogs out! Please let me know if you are still waiting for one.  The catalog has so many great new products and ideas and even the return of some favorites from last year!  The catalog sales period begins on August 4th and if you earned Bonus Dollars coupons last month you certainly can use them to purchase from any current catalog through out the month of August.  

Thinking ahead, I have been asked by many if we will do a Christmas Card Camp this year.  Let me start by saying that we cannot use the Event Room at Solterra this year.  I do have an alternate venue at a friends recreation center near Walgreens in Show Low on Saturday October 17th.  With the current virus conditions in our area, I would like to propose something a little different.  IF we can meet in person, I would like to limit the number of people attending at one time.  So I am thinking 2 different 4 hour sessions, one in the morning and one in the afternoon so that everyone would get a chance to do their stamping.  (Please understand that it is against Stampin' Up! policy that I provide you with any stamped images.)  I would set up differently so that you would be able to do all your stamping and use a different table/area to assemble at least 1 of each card and if necessary you would be able to finish assembling at home.  

I have created an online survey to gauge what interest there would be this year, it is only 7 questions long.  I would really appreciate your feedback!  The survey can be found here: 
 
Stampin' Up! has been updating their website/store!  It is going live on August 4th.  Hopefully this new update will allow you to easily make your purchases online.  One of the exciting features is it will show in real time if a product is on back order or is low inventory, which I think will be very helpful for your online shopping!  Please be sure to let me know if you have any difficulty navigating the new website.
