Christmas Cards

Christmas Stamping Retreat

It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year! Christmas always excites me, and I love to spoil my stamping friends. That’s why you don’t want to miss this Christmas Stamping Retreat with me!

We will spend the day stamping and creating 8 gorgeous A2 sized cards together. But this Christmas Stamping Event is about way more than the cards you will be making. I made a list…you check it twice!

Did you see the “+ More”? I ran out of room. But I will have room for you at my Stamping Retreat when you get signed up for Early Bird Pricing by October 9th.

Besides getting a better price (early bird!), you will also guarantee your seat at the Christmas Stamping Retreat. Lean in close while I tell you a secret…my events are becoming more famous, and they may draw in stampers from out of state. More than just Maine, and from several different states. There are only so many tables, and so many seats. Grab yours now.

Christmas Stamping Retreat Special Events

Besides Christmas and cardmaking, I love playing fun games. The games I make up (yup, creativity at my best!) aren’t difficult or physical. Some you can even play while seated at your table, and still win cool stamping prizes.

Giving away crafty things that excite you excites me, too. Expect your prizes to be gift wrapped. In Christmas paper, of course. No peeking!

When I mentioned over-the-top, I meant way over. At my bigger stamping events, like the Christmas Stamping Retreat, I always give a way a Grand Prize. And the Grand Prize is often current Stampin’ Up! product that is valued above the price of admission.

Imagine coming to the Christmas Stamping Retreat and leaving with way more in prizes than the amount you paid to get in?! Merry Christmas, my stamping friend.

These events just keep getting bigger and better! I will be packing my sleigh (or Kia Sorrento…and maybe my daughter’s mini van) really full to get lots of great Stampin’ Up! product to Lynde Lodge in Hermon Maine for this event.

I can’t wait for you to see all that is in store…

Christmas Is About Spoiling, And Secrets

I hate to give too much away. I want you to show up and be beyond surprised! But bring your basic card making kit, whatever you love to use when stamping and creating.

I always have Cash and Carry Adhesive if you run out in the ‘Blizzard of Card Making’.

Christmas Card Class Series, July 2023

Christmas Cards In July

Are you dreaming of a White Christmas, even though it is only July?

There is snow better time to start working on Christmas cards than right now. And I am kicking off my Christmas Card Class Series in July of 2023!

Trucking Along Bundle

This month’s Christmas Card kits feature the Trucking Along Bundle by Stampin’ Up!. This new bundle was just released as part of the Online Exclusives. If you were lucky to get this bundle at its debut, you have all you need to create the July Christmas Cards with me!

If you did not get the Trucking Along Stamp Set or Builder Punch, don’t worry…they will be back in stock. Contact me to help you place your order! You have plenty of time to get yours before the Christmas season is upon us. These card kits will wait, once you have them in hand.

But, if you aren’t interested in the Trucking Along Bundle at all, please use these card kits and whatever stamps, punches and dies make you happy to create with! The Trucking Along Bundle is not required to use the July Card Kits, just some creativity!

Christmas Card Kits

This new series features a set of monthly Christmas Card Kits (3 unique designs each month with a different Stampin’ Up! Bundle used), plus a full pack of embellishments and a full bolt of ribbon, delivered right to your door.

You will also receive an email with a PDF Card Recipe tutorial for each card. Use your tutorial for assembly, and save the directions to cut more card kits on your own at any time.

Your July Kit Consumables

For the July Christmas Card Kits, you will receive a full bolt of the Real Red & Gold Dotted Ribbon, along with the Adhesive Backed Sparkle Gems, in Champagne, Black and White. Use them on your Christmas Card Kits and beyond! The value of the embellishments alone is over $17.

The July Christmas Card Kits feature colors like Crumb Cake, Mossy Meadow, Smoky Slate and Real Red for a Natural or Country Christmas Theme. See the photo above for an idea of what you will be getting this month!

Christmas Card Class Series, July – November 2023

This brand new card class features my favorite type of card to make: Christmas. Each month, I will choose a different Stampin’ Up! Bundle, color theme, designer papers and embellishments to create 3 unique card designs. When you order your kit by the 24th of the month, you will be getting that month’s kit, shipped on the 25th.

Look for sneak peeks of the upcoming Christmas Card Class around the first week of each month. By the end of all 5 months, you will have 15 Christmas Card designs, 5 different embellishments and 5 bolts of unique ribbon, plus a great jump start on your own personal hand made Christmas Cards!
