Hi all! I needed some crafty stamping therapy after 8 days without power so I used some kits this week to get some mojo back. Helene certainly hit North Carolina harder than expected. We are fine here, phone service is back and electricity is wonderful. So many still do not have it and the areas about an hour from us are devastated. I hear Milton will affect many of you in Florida and I hope a miracle happens and it takes a big turn away from you. Stock up on more drinking water than you think you will need, gas in your cans for generators, peanut butter & jelly, bread and ice. Oh and a battery powered radio. I can’t believe we didn’t have one!
here is my video – I shared a few tips for the ornaments, which were really much larger than expected!
Stampin’ Up Kits are on sale for 30% during October!
There are some good kits now and even a few new ones!
One of the new ones is called ALPINE AIR KIT #164409
and makes 9 cards plus stamps, envelopes and ink spot.

It comes with a really nice stamp set, too! It’s on sale for $19.80 See it HERE

If you like to give cards or store cards to give, a card keeper box is handy!
(I show it in my video above) The cards it comes with are pretty, too.

There are printed sentiments in different languages included so I cut some letters apart to create my own sentiment:

I had fun with the ornaments! Anything using a hot glue gun makes me feel crafty.
I added some white paint on the pinecones and I love them:)

During October, the SU starter kit has an EXTRA $30 added to it! So you can choose $155 in products of your choice, free shipping and still pay only $99. October is the beginning of a quarter and there is no minimum sales required for your first quarter. So you have Oct – March to place $300 (you don’t have to do it all at once) to stay active. If you decide not to order after that, they will just drop you. It’s pretty easy! You can do it just for the discount. I’ll show you how to place your own orders and as a demo, you can enjoy a discount and also preorder new products early. You can sign up here or email me for more info to join my team.

AND a 3 day sale is coming Monday, Oct 7 – 9 for 15% off Annual Catalog Stamps!
Sometimes if it is a bundle with a punch or dies it is cheaper to get the bundle since those are 10% off already.
I’ll post those tomorrow for easy shopping!












Linda the battery powered radio is a brilliant idea! I thought we were good with cell phones. Who knew they would not work. My first and hopefully my last time being in a disaster area. The weatherman said it was going to be beautiful on Saturday after the storm so I did not stock up on much. Lesson learned! Glad you are safe!
