Your First Sneak Peek

Here is your first sneak peek (at least from me) at products from the January - June 2021 mini catalog from Stampin' Up!  This catalog will go "LIVE" on Tuesday, January 5th.  My Sister and I are counting down to the new catalog in our new Facebook Group,  2 Sisters Stamping.  Please join the group to see some of the new products and the projects we have made with them.  Have fun and make new friends, as we countdown to the New Year and to the New Catalog.  We are giving away daily prizes - and TWO grand prizes - $25 gift certificates towards a Stampin' Up! purchase!  

I will be feautring the Sand & Sea Suite of products on December 31 in the FB group.  This suite features an awesome stamp set with coordinating dies and a coordinating embossing folder! This was my first MUST HAVE stamp set, when I saw the new catalog.  I've made several cards - and am excited to have made this scrapbook using some of the products from this suite of products.

Scrapbooking was my #1 hobby for many years - but when I became a Stamipin' Up! demonstrator (almost 14 years ago!) - scrapbooking took a back seat as I started to enjoy card making and the satisfaction of FINISHING projects - and then sending them on their way to bless somebody else!

A few years ago I started attending weekend scrapbooking retreats with my sister - and now I'm excited to finally be making progress towards finishing my family scrapbooks.  One of my goals this year will be to feature more scrapbook pages on my blog - using Stampin' Up! products of course.

Please be sure to join the 2 Sisters Stamping facebook group by CLICKING HERE.  With the launch of the new catalog, we will also have our best sale of the year: Sale-a-bration.  Earn free stamp sets and Designer Series Paper with a qualifiying order.  I will post more info here on my blog - but if you join the FB group - you can get sneak peeks of the Sale-a-bration items, too.  Hope to see you over there!

Thanks for stopping by!

Merry Christmas 2020

This year I made 12 card designs using the Snow Wonder stamp set. and Snow Time dies. Most of the cards were inspired by cards I saw on Pinterest.  I just love this set so much - and I am thrilled that it is carrying over to next year's July - December mini catalog!  It is still available now - and if you order before January 5, you will get  10% savings on the bundle.

Below are the other cards that I made using this stamp set and dies.

The card above is called a Double Z fold card.  I have a tutorial showing you how easy it is to make a card like this.  CLICK HERE to see that video.

This card was made with a fun heat embossed snow background.  CLICK HERE to see a video for this card.

I have a FREE written tutorial with measurements and basic directions for making all of these cards.

It is my Christmas gift for you!  Just EMAIL me to request a copy.

I hope you will enjoy a peacful Christmas today!

Join me on December 27 for a fun countdown to the New Year and the NEW Stampin' Up! mini catalog!  CLICK HERE to get a sneak peek at what is coming!

Unboxing Video - January to June 2021

In case you missed this on my Facebook page - here is my unboxing video showing the things I pre-ordered from the January - June mini catalog and a few Sale-a-Bration items, too!  I may have waited a few days to open the box - but since I made this video (a week ago) I haven't been able to stop playing with all these goodies!  (If you are viewing this in your email - you may need to click on the title to load the video.)

As I mentioned in the video, my sister, Donna, and I are planning a fun Facebook Party for you to celebrate the New Year with us!  We hope you will join the fun, interact with us, and watch our videos where we will demonstrate projects using products from the new catalog.  Here is what you can expect:

December 27

You will be able to join our special group that we created for this event.  (Info will be posted here on my blog, on my Facebook page, and in my Facebook group as the date gets closer.)  

December 28-30

The first few days will be getting to know who has joined us.  We will ask some questions to learn more about you - and give you more details and sneak peeks about what is coming in the new catalog and what to expect during the week.  Eacg day we will choose a daily winner at random for a Stampin' Up! prizes.  The more you comment - the better chance you have to win a prize. 

December 31 - New Year's Eve

The main event will officially begin on New Year's Eve with a stamping presentation. We won't actually be live - but we hope you will check out the video sometime and accept our New Year's challenge.  

 Jan 1 - Jan 7 

Each day we will have a question for you - a video for you to watch - and a challenge!  If you complete a challenge - you will be entered to win one of two $25 gift certificates for Stampin' Up! merchandise.  The more challenges you accept - the more chances you have to win!  We hope that you will visit our group daily and leave a comment (or two or three or.....) for a chance to win one of the daily prizes.  But if you miss a day or two - you can always go back and see what you missed.  And you can go back and accept any of the challenges through noon on January 8.

Friday Januaray 8  - LIVE ZOOM EVENT

We will have a live zoom event on Friday night - to wrap up the week.  We will have Mystery Stamping, a trivia contest, and the winners of the two gift certificates will be chosen.  More details will be posted in the group.  Just be sure to save the date!  You won't want to miss this fun, free, live event.

We are so excited to give you sneak peeks of some of the products in the new catalog - and beginning on January 5 - YOU CAN BEGIN TO ORDER THEM, TOO!  If you ordered from me in the past 6 months - a catalog is on the way.  If you did not receive one and if you do not currently work with a Stampin' Up! demonstrator, I would love the chance to earn your business.  Just let me know and I will send you the new mini catalog and Sale-a-bration brochure.

Christmas Countdown - 2 weeks

Just two short weeks until Christmas!I am here with another great gift idea for just about anyone on your list - a PRE-PAID PAPER PUMPKIN SUBSCRIPTION.  These are super cute craft kits that are packed full of the supplies needed to make cards and other paper crafting products and they show up in your mailbox every month, for the length of your subscription. You can purchase a 1, 3, 6, or 12 month subscription from my online store.  CLICK HERE to choose the subscription(s) you would like to purchase.  Once you place your order, you will immediately be mailed a CODE and directions for how to start the subscription - which you can share with the person receiving the gift.  

Visit MY PAPER PUMPKIN WEBSITE to watch some of the unboxing videos and get an idea of what's included in these kits.

These kits are a great value - since everything is included for completing the projects, although you might need a scissors or additional adhesive.  This is a great way to get started with stamping - and great for people with limited storage space.

You can also sign up directly from my paper pumpkin website for a month to month subscription to save on shipping.

Please CONTACT ME with any questions.  With so many options, the sign up process can be confusing.
