Hi Stamping Friends! Hope you’re doing well and enjoying the warm weather. Personally, I LOVE hot, summer weather, so I’m happy as a clam.
On A Personal Note:
July is going to be a big month! July 13th is demo day for a big home renovation project!!! After 31 years, we are having all our floors replaced, the interior painted, and our kitchen remodeled. It’s very exciting and a little scary!!! I’ve been madly cleaning and sorting through cupboards, closets, kids’ rooms (who moved out ages ago) and floors to minimize the amount of stuff we have to pack up and move. Ohhh my gosh, it’s it a lot of work. I guess this is payback for all those weekends when I procrastinated and opted to play in my craft room!!! Haha!
The work should last through mid-August, and I’ll not only be preoccupied, but have limited if any access to my crafting supplies and computer (which will be boxed up.) As a result, I’m limiting blog posts to Artisan Design Team projects (which I completed in advance.) Also, I’m sorry to say that development of online classes is currently on hold. I appreciate your patience as I work through this massive project so I can get things back to normal as soon as possible. Hopefully, you’re all out there enjoying a well deserved vacation anyway!!!
As a thank you, I have a special promotion from now through August 15th! For all online orders of $50 or more, I’ll send you a FREE flat embellishment of your choice valued at $10 or less. (Something that will fit in an envelope.) To qualify, you MUST use the current Host Code on the side bar of my blog (unless your order is more than $150 and you are your own host.) (The current Host Code is RJGMM6GK.) I will contact you by email to obtain your choice of embellishment, and make a couple orders and mass mailings. I appreciate your business so much!
Designer Series Paper Sale!
Now, on to some happier crafting news. From July 1 to August 3, 2021 selected designer series papers are on sale for 15% off. This is a great time to stock up and save. All of these papers are from the Annual Catalog, so to me, they are the best ones to stash away, because they will be “current” products all the way through April 2022. That means you’ll continue to see lots of inspiring projects on social media using these papers.
To download a flyer of all papers included in the sale, click HERE.
The Adventure Begins Paper Pumpkin Kit:
Have you see the teasers for the latest Paper Pumpkin kit? It looks fantastic, especially for making masculine cards (which are always a challenge for me.) It also looks like it coordinates with one of my favorite masculine stamp sets — Campology!!!
The Adventure Begins kit is available to active Paper Pumpkin subscribers. Be sure to subscribe or re-activate you subscription by July 10th to receive this awesome kit. (To learn more about this fun service, see the Paper Pumpkin Tab on my blog.)
Paper Pumpkin kits are always a surprise, and that’s half the fun, but I’ll share the few facts I do know. The kit will contain enough supplies to create 12 cards with coordinating envelopes. The cards are a standard size (4-1/4” x 5-1/2”) and the kit also includes a Stampin’ Spot ink pad and an exclusive stamp set! The stamps include inspirational sentiments and adventure-themed imagery featuring these nature-inspired coordinating colors: Basic Black, Basic White, Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry, Early Espresso, Flirty Flamingo, Garden Green, Granny Apple Green, Mango Melody, Night of Navy.

New Mini Catalog and Sale-A-Bration!
The new July-December Mini and Sale-A-Bration Catalogs are coming soon!!! Customers should be receiving new catalogs in the next 2-3 weeks and products will be available to order/earn starting August 3!!! (There was a one month delay to accommodate for product availability challenges.) Sale-A-Bration will run from August 3 to September 30th, when you can earn free products with qualifying orders of $50 or more. I’ll post more information as it becomes available.
Are you as excited as I am for new products and Sale-A-Bration? You might want to consider joining Stampin’ Up! as a demonstrator. Demonstrators have the opportunity to pre-order/earn from both catalogs right now! Contact me for details.
That’s it for now. Have a wonderful day and happy crafting!

Good luck with the remodel. I live with my brother and his wife and they are going through the same thing. They all moved downstairs when floors were done upstairs. Now I have moved upstairs while floors downstairs are being done. We have been living without kitchen for about three weeks. It will be so nice but probably another month before we get things back in their place. I know you are excited. I so enjoy your posts so will anxiously await the new ones.
Thanks so much Mallory! The company that’s handling it tells me it will take 3-4 weeks total, so I’m really hoping that’s the case. I’m also realizing it will take quite a while to unpack after it’s all finished! haha. I’m sure it will all be worth it, I keep telling myself that…
