The Lucky Clover Punch Product Update!

 

The #160612 Lucky Clover Punch is completely sold out and is no longer available for purchase. Because so many of the products in the January-April Mini Catalog are seasonal or tied to a specific holiday, it is not always possible to restock a time sensitive product in advance of that particular holiday or occasion. So, the products are available while supplies lasts.

The Country Bouquet heart punch, the Lucky Clover punch, and the Easter Bunny punch have all been very popular since the January-April Mini Catalog debuted. The Country Bouquet heart punch is currently on backorder. 

So, if you have your eye on the #160331 Easter Bunny punch, I recommend placing your order now rather than later to avoid missing out.

Second Sunday Sketches #45 Starts Today

It is time for another Second Sunday Sketches challenge! If you are new to Second Sunday Sketches, please review the rules here or below. Each second Sunday of the month, I will post a card sketch. A sketch is graphic or drawing of how the elements of a card are arranged.

You will then use the sketch as a guide to create your own card. Your card must be a new creation and reflect the challenge guidelines. Your card must include the major elements of the card sketch, such as the number of layers and the general position of the embellishments and/or die cuts. You can rotate the sketch for a top-folding card or for a side-folding card.

You choose the occasion and the color palette as well as the stamp set(s) and the embellishments. I do ask that you use Stampin' Up! products (current or retired).

The measurements will also be included in the blog post for each Second Sunday Sketches sketch challenge. You can use the measurements as given or increase them or decrease them. For example, if a greeting is stamped on a 1" circle on the sketch, but the greeting you choose is 1-3/4", then increase the size of the circle to 1-3/4". You can also change the shape. Instead of a circle, you can use an oval, a square, a daisy punch, a monogram, etc.

The challenge will run from the second Sunday of the month until the last day of that month. 

 

Card Sketch

Below is January's card sketch.

Challenge Dates

Prize Drawing

The day after the last day of the month (February 1st), I will place all of the names of the participants in a proverbial hat and randomly draw a winner. The winner will receive a prize (US Residents only)! The prize each month will change and will be announced at the start of each challenge. January's Second Sunday Sketches sketch challenge prize is a mystery ribbon sampler and a stamp set from my retired product cache.

The Winner of the Second Sunday Sketches #44 is...

Toni Shaw! Congratulations, Toni! Toni is the winner of the 44th Second Sunday Sketches card sketch challenge! Your prize, a mystery embellishment pack from my retired product cache and 3 handmade cards, will be in the mail on January 3rd, 2023.

The designer series paper Toni used for the strings of lights on the sketch is too clever! The designer series paper pattern is stripes of bows! How fun and cute! What a fun card for a special day! She made two cards for this sketch - each with a different die cut for the greeting (You can enter more than one card per sketch challenge. However, it only counts as one entry unless it is for a special sketch.).

Check out the other entries for the 44th Second Sunday Sketch card challenge. I love Carrie's adorable owl card! The sponged background with the party lights and the cute owl in his birthday hat is perfect for celebrating a loved one's birthday. The addition of the sparkle pompom on the birthday hat is precious! Pat's Valentine's Day card is excellent and so clever! I love the idea of a delivery truck sending lots of love! The color palette of pinks, white, and black is a great combination for Valentine's Day. I also like how Pat used hearts to create stripes with the Sealed with Love stamp set. That is very clever! Well done! Thank you for participating in December's Second Sunday Sketches!

Happy December! Penguin Place Double Gate Fold Christmas Card

Happy December! I just sent out my December newsletter to my mailing list. This month I shared how to make a double gate fold Christmas card with the Penguin Place stamp set and the Penguin Builder Punch.

I also shared a few tips to make stamping and assembling this card a snap!

I designed and planned this card using the Penguin Place stamp set several months ago, and unfortunately, in the last few days it sold out and is no longer available for purchase. I debated on changing this month's project. However, most of you already have both the Penguin Place stamp set and the Penguin Builder Punch, and the skills in this card are easily translatable to another stamp set, and designer series paper can be substituted for the stamped winter tree and snow scene. So, I did not substitute another stamp set.

The new host code for December is 9CVPJ27N. Please, use the host code on orders under $150 USD. For orders over $150 USD, please, don't use the host code.

My December newsletter is available all month to new subscribers. If you sign up for my email list during December, you will also receive a copy of my December newsletter with the instructions, supply list, and measurements for this cute penguin Christmas card.

The Winner of the Second Sunday Sketches #43 is...

Pat Arnold! Congratulations, Pat! Pat is the winner of the 43rd Second Sunday Sketches card sketch challenge! Your prize, a mystery embellishment pack and 3 handmade cards, will be in the mail on December 5th, 2022.

Pat's card is beautiful and festive! I love how she used the Boughs of Holly Designer Series Paper as one of the mat layers. This holly leaf and berry patterned paper with the green painted background is full of wintertime foliage - perfect for a Christmas card! I also like how Pat layered 3 banners - white, red, and green on top of each other to make the greeting stand out. The sequins give a little sparkle too! Wonderful work, Pat!

Check out the other entries for the 43rd Second Sunday Sketch card challenge. Toni's card is gorgeous! I really love the simplicity of the card! Her color palette echos the flowers on the Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper. I love how the stitched leaves are die cut into the card mat with the Stitched Greenery Die! Beautiful card, Toni!

The Last Chance Product List is Now Available!

 

The July–December 2022 Mini Catalog will be retiring soon! Stock up on your favorite products before they’re gone for good! Save up to 60% on essential craft supplies. This selection of Last Chance Products is only available while supplies last.

Download the Last Chance Product List

• Click HERE to download the PDF version
• Click HERE to download the Excel spreadsheet version

Please, note that not all products are being offered with a discount and take your time reading through the Last Chance Product List. Some products may have one component retiring but not both. For example, the #159626 Kindest Gnome Bundle is retiring, the #159616 Kindest Gnome stamp set is retiring, but the #159625 Gnome Dies are carrying over.

The list is long and in tiny print. I recommend downloading the Excel version. Open the file. Change the orientation to landscape. Increase the font size to a more comfortable reading size. Then print the list.

Download the Carry Over Product List

• Click HERE to download the PDF version of the Carry Over Product List
• Click HERE to download the Excel spreadsheet version of the Carry Over Product List
  

Please, note that the majority of the products on the Carry Over Product List are carrying over into the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog. However, there were a few last minute additions to the Carry Over Product List that did not make it in time to be included in the printed annual catalog. So, these products are marked with an asterisk and are available in the online store.

Mark Your Catalogs

The retiring product list is long! To help me organize it in my mind better, I physically go through my July-December Mini Catalog and write an R for retiring or a CO for carrying over by each product in the catalog.

Make Your To Order List

As I go through and mark my catalog, I also make a note of anything that I would like to purchase before it retires. I write down the item number and product name on my To Order List.

You can click HERE to download and a print a copy of my To Order List and keep track of what you would like to order too!

Place Your Order Timely

Once you have your To Order List ready, go to my online shop and place your order. I recommend placing your order sooner rather than later to avoid missing out on your favorite retiring products.

At the time this blog post was written almost 10 products have already sold out and are no longer available for purchase. I am bummed out about the witch hat builder punch being sold out!

The quickest way to see if your favorite retiring product is still in stock is to check my online store. Search for your product by item number or be product name. If it is listed in the online store, it is in stock or if there is a message below the product photograph that says something like temporarily unavailable or will be back soon, it has not sold out. If your product is not listed in the online store at all, then that product is sold out and no longer available for purchase.

Promotion Details

Just a Little Reminder that You are Loved

I was looking at the peppermint snowman treat holder I made on Monday. Since the peppermint snowman chocolate candy is only available during the winter months of the year, I thought what other treats would fit in this treat holder size. A 2" Ghirardelli chocolate square fits perfectly in this treat holder size too!

This treat holder is a terrific way to add a little sweetness to a loved one's day and to show them that you are thinking of and love them!

I layered the small and large flowers from the Fitting Florets stamp set with the leaf dies from the Framed Florets Dies to create a little embellishment behind the greeting banner.

To make the greeting banner, first stamp and die cut the banner from a piece of Basic White cardstock and the stitched banner die. Then adhere the banner die cut to a scrap of Daffodil Delight that is a little larger than the banner. Use paper snips to cut a banner shape from the Daffodil Delight cardstock slightly bigger than the Basic White banner die cut. You now have a Basic White cardstock banner outlined in Daffodil Delight cardstock.

Turn a Tag into a Treat Holder with Partial Die Cutting

Today's Ghirardelli peppermint snowman treat holder was an experiment. Could I use something from the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog to replicate one of my favorite quick and easy treat holders?

I was sad to see the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch retired. I have made countless different treat holders and boxes with the decorative punch over the years.

The Scalloped Tag Topper Punch was one of my go to stamping tools! When the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog debuted, I noticed a possible replacement - #159165 Designer Tags Dies on page 170.

This die set comes with 4 different tag dies, 1 decorative tag background die, 3 dies to cut shapes - a rose, a butterfly, and a floral sprig - and a tiny circle die.

I am excited about all of the tag shapes and decorative additions. However, the tiny circle die is what really surprised me. I thought, you know, it looks like a circle hole punch shape. That's helpful, I guess. I could just use a handheld circle punch though. 

 

What's the big deal? The tiny little dot in the above graphics is not just a tiny circle die. It is a circle die that cuts the hole at the top of the tag, yes, but the actual die is in the shape of the top of the tag with the circle in the middle! Great, right!? The die's shape can be butted up to the top of the tag die for precise alignment!

No more guessing where the center of the tag is. The die lines up for you. That is why that tiny little circle in the above graphic is so great. So clever! Spread the word!

Ok. So, how did I turn a tag into a treat holder? The secret is to partially die cut only the ends of the designer series paper and not the bottom. To do this, cut the designer series paper slightly narrower than the width of the die. Fold the designer series paper in half.

Slide the open end of the designer series paper from the back of the die to the front. Keep the folded end on top of the die, so the fold won't get cut. If the side view of the treat holder, I didn't crease the fold line, so you could see where the fold area goes more easily.

Line up the open end of the designer series paper with the top of the tag die. Place the circle die on top of the designer series paper at the top of the tag. Place a piece of low tact tape on the dies and run it through the Stampin' Cut and Emboss Machine.

Tada! Your "tag" is now twice as long as the die and ready to add your treats to.

Add the chocolate snowman with a bit of Stampin' Seal or a glue dot to the inside of the treat holder. Add the stamped and die cut stitched circle on dimensionals with some pearl basic jewels. Close up the treat holder and thread the ribbon half way through the top holes. Then tie the ribbon into a bow.

Once you make one treat holder. You will be making multiples in minutes!

I made 12 treat holders with 1 sheet of 12" x 12" designer series paper and 1 piece of 8-1/2" x 11" cardstock. If you cut your 8-1/2" x 11" piece of cardstock into 2" x 11" strips, you can die cut 20 circles from one sheet of 8-1/2" x 11" cardstock, making this treat holder design very economical and a great way to use up designer series paper.
