World Cardmaking Day
Hello and happy Saturday!
Did you know that today is World Cardmaking Day? That's right; a day for papercrafting fun! Stampin' Up! held an online event for anyone who wanted to attend today, and you didn't have to be a demonstrator. Our CEO, Sara Douglas showed us how to make 5 cards using supplies that didn't have to be stamped! These cards are great when you need a quick card for a birthday, thinking of you or any other occasion. Here's the cards we made today:
With just a few supplies we were able to make these five cards, and it took less time than you would think. The Calming Creek Cards & Envelope Pack comes with 5 card bases and envelopes but want to know a secret? They are the same design on the front and back, so it's easy to stretch these into 10 cards instead of 5. Just cut them in half or to 4 x 5-1/4 inches and add them to your own card bases made from cardstock you have on hand.

May Stamp Camp
I know this post is a bit late since it's already September. But time has its own way of sneaking up on us (especially me). But today I'd like to show you the cards that we made at the Arizona May stamp camp. Teresa, a member of my team was our hostess, and she designed these cards for everyone. I am happy that I am able to attend these online during the class. I miss my girls a lot, and although it's not as good as being there, it comes pretty close.
Some of the products used are now retired, since we had a new catalog that started in May. Many of the cards are designed earlier, so sometimes it can't be helped. Here's Teresa's cards:
I do not know what this fun fold is called, but it's darling. I believe the designer paper is retired. The bright colors are perfect for a birthday card.
This is a sweet card with a garden theme. I love the little quail family, don't you?
The Magnolia embossing folder stands front and center here, on a Lemon Lolly panel.
Copper accents make this Hello card really stand out. Pecan Pie, Blueberry Bushel and Vanilla go so well together.

Important! Halloween Memories Scrapbooking Workshop Kit Adjustment
We don’t mean to scare you with the title of this Halloween-related update, but we DO want to get your attention. If you plan to purchase the Halloween Memories Scrapbooking Workshop Kit, we want to make you aware of the following:
- The printed instructions included in the kit have some incorrect details.
- An updated, digital copy of the instructions has since been made available. You can access your PDF copy here. The file will also be added to the kit’s product information in the online store once the kit is available for purchase (September 4). Please let your customers know this is where they can obtain an updated copy.
- When crafting with this fun kit, please refer to the updated instructions found online instead of those printed in the kit.
- Due to a miscommunication with our product vendor, this kit also has added pieces that are not needed to complete your projects. Bonus! These include extra photo placeholders and two-tone cardstock. This will not interfere with your scrapbooking, but we want to make you aware now to avoid any potential confusion.

Card Swap
Today I'm showing you three cards that I made that were designed by 3 ladies in my Jefferson City, Mo card group. We meet each week for lunch and spend time afterwards, crafting away for a few hours. Marsha had the idea to do a "swap" once a month and we are all loving this new reason to gather together. Each of us designs a card, and then we cut enough "kits" for everyone who attends. We have 4 ladies in our group and Marsha's granddaughter comes often and designs her own too. Here's what we made in July:
This beautiful Hello card was designed by 13 year old Ava, Marsha's granddaughter. Isn't it lovely? I believe she used the Perennial Lavender designer series paper. Several of our designer papers are on sale for the month of August and this paper is too pretty not to have.-
