I was at CVS drug store and saw hot chocolate bombs on sale, I think 2 for $5, and immediately thought of the Nested Treat Boxes from the holiday SU catalog. Would they fit in the box? yes they do!
And they are on sale until they run out of stock on them.
8 boxes for only $6.90!
‘Tis the season to make paper lollies so I used the Melon Mambo and Granny Green Foil sheets which coordinates with the Merry Bold & Bright paper. Here’s my video showing how to put it all together!

The Last Chance SALE for the retiring Holiday catalog is still going on!
The best way to keep up with what is available is to look on the sale page online. I like to sort by price, low to high, to see the best deals.
See the Last Chance shopping page HERE
Here are some steals still available (and if you have these already, think about gifts for your crafty friends!)
And the clearance rack, too!
This punch is almost $10 off and is great for sentiments!
Punch both ends for a decorative sentiment label.

Fluffiest Friends bundle #162850 $54
Another release from Stampin’ Up from the Online Exclusives line. It’s not in a catalog but it’s available!
I can’t resist a chunky critter set! It might have been the bear that got me but I ended up loving each one.
For this week’s video, I show how to add color with alcohol markers (Stampin’ blends) and also some paper piecing here and there.
VIEW/PRINT RECIPES PDF WITH MEASUREMENTS HERE
I love the texture that is possible with the alcohol markers over Crumb Cake cardstock!
The buzzy sentiment comes from a stamp set coming out in January called Bee Mine.
I thought it was cute with the honey bees and bear
A little vellum cardstock helps soften the bold paper pattern
The teeny tiny cupcake is so cute:)
Matt continues to improve and is grateful for your thoughts, messages and cards! He is one month out from his quadruple bypass, he is allowed to drive and fly again however has a 20 pound weight limit still to follow.
He started cardiac rehab 3x a week so he’s been busy!
We are a few days away from our mini catalog sale!
I’m posting early so you can prepare your lists. If there is something you REALLY want before it goes on sale, you might want to get it as things sell out quickly.
If you are like me, you are basting turkey and making stuffing so I understand it might not be the right time to look at the lists. If I were queen of SU, it would be starting AFTER Thanksgiving:)

Hi all!
I finally got some ink on my fingers today! Matt is doing very well after his quad bypass heart surgery. He thanks you for the get well and birthday cards! We both have birthdays in the same week so our mailbox was full of happy cards. Thank you for thinking of us:)
More products available November 7th! One of them is called Meandering Meadows 6×6 paper. 12 designs (4 sheets each) of gorgeous landscapes. I used it for a Diorama card, which I haven’t done in years!
It’s 3D but folds flat to mail. It is hard to take a good photo of it so watch my video below to see it better:

Hi stampin’ friends!
It’s been 2 weeks since Matt’s open heart surgery and he is doing very well!
Thank you for the cards, messages and texts – he feels the love
His birthday is today and the best present is his health and 4 brand new arteries LOL
I’ll be ready to post a video next weekend with brand new products coming out Nov 6th!
I thought I could work videos in between being a nurse, healthy chef, driver and all that goes with
cardiac rehab but I’ve been busy! I’m itching to get into my preorder box!
Some good stuff you may have been waiting for is back in stock. If there is something you want and it’s temporarily missing, please let me know so I can watch it for you.
Many of the embellishments will be back next week on November 6th and Nov 13th! I’ll keep you posted.
these are back!

Hi! Some of you were looking for my weekly video this past weekend and it’s not here.
My husband Matt had unexpected heart surgery instead of me stamping, filming and blogging!
It was Thursday morning and he had some chest pressure all night long and thought for a minute it might be just indigestion but it kept getting worse so we went to the ER. Which was the best thing to do since they determined quickly that he had 3 clogged arteries! We are feeling so very lucky that it was caught quickly and could have been so much worse. On Friday he had open heart surgery and had a quadruple bypass, one week before his 54th birthday! Matt is doing fantastic, healing ahead of schedule and hopefully can come home tomorrow!
It may take me another week before I’m back doing videos since I’ll be his nurse LOL
I may be an extra week behind mailing thank you gifts for online orders but I’ll get them out as soon as I can.
Thanks for all the good vibes and messages!
————————————————————————————–
BTW, there are some new things in the online store!
I LOVE that they keep adding new things that aren’t tied to a hard copy catalog.
It allows SU to add things spontaneously and I like to see what is new!
If you are a paper pumpkin subscriber already, you can add on these cards/envelopes to an order!
20 cards and 20 envelopes which are great to just stamp a sentiment on and you are ready to send.
#163985 Warm Wishes Cards/Envelopes $14
I have been looking for a really nice Hanukkah set!
This is not in a catalog, it was out of stock for a bit and they made more. If you need to make Hanukkah cards, this would be a great one to have. #165131 $24 Celebrate the Miracle (clear see-thru photopolymer)
Do you like to have a countdown to Christmas during December? This would be so fun to fill the envelopes with gifts or treats! Look at all the goodies that come in this kit – I might get it just for making cards and tags!
#163114 Rustic Christmas Countdown Kit $19
The delicate greenery circles and leaves! And the cute bows!
Actually as I’m typing this, I can see using the envelopes and filling with treats for a holiday luncheon I’m going to.
I can add a sentiment instead of the numbers. (off to order that now – be right back! )
If you have looked through our Annual catalog, looked through the Holiday catalog,
and are STILL looking for something different, be sure to keep and eye on the Online Store!
You can find it HERE
