September Specials and New Catalog Party this week!

September 1, 2026

It all begins today for Stampin’ Up! September specials! But before I get into those I have to remind my local gals to stop in for my New Catalog party on Thursday.

It’s the last event I’ll be holding at my home studio in Minot. We love our new home in Bismarck though but it is hard to say goodbye to our Minot friends. I sincerely hope I see most of you again since I hope to return occasionally for a class or Bunco event.

There’s a new Product of the Month for September and it’s a winner!

It’s called Luxe Foliage Specialty Designer paper and can be seen here. It’s yours for just $5 once your order reaches the $75 point. I love that they offer a new item each and every month. There’s a nice variety to choose from. I cannot believe there is still some of the Glow of Harvest DSP left. And the Begonia Belle stamp set is still available as well.

There is also a few new kits in our Kit Collection too. You can see it all here!

There are new Online Exclusives that start today! Click here to see them.

New Hot Foil products are here! Check them out here.

Get this free PDF tutorial with ANY online purchase from me in September! Gorgeous cards in this one!

Spooky Treats alternative card with Aspen Tree dies

September 29, 2022

Here's one of the projects I shared on Tuesday's FB Live video this week. I focused on the Spooky Treats Paper Pumpkin kit.

Good news! This kit is still available – you can get the full kit here. Or if you're a subscriber you can get the refill here.

In the video seen here, I share a bunch of alternative projects with both my Paper Pumpkin subscribers AND my Flowerbug's Team.

Here's the stamp set that is included in the kit; it's so cute!

Here's what the Spooky Treats kit makes if you follow the kit directions as directed. It includes 18 nice size treat boxes; perfect to add your candy or Halloween treats in.

I look forward to getting these kits in the mail each month. I know that October's kit is Christmas cards. We always get a hint on what it will be. That way you can opt out or even choose to get more than one kit!

You have a few choices when purchasing Paper Pumpkin. You can subscribe to get one kit each month here. Or purchase a pre-paid subscription here. You can choose from a 1, 3, 6 or 12 month pre-paid subscription.

You can see how I stamped the inside below. The card base is Orchid Oasis.

I used three inks and our blending brushes to create the smooth background under the Aspen Tree dies. I share a few tips on getting smooth results in the video.

Apple Harvest Fun Fold card

September 28, 2022
We made this sweet Apple Harvest card at my card clubs in September. I love the bright colors paired with Black!

The colors include Parakeet Party, Real Red and Black. As you can see I gave them a choice of apple images on the front. The left card above has the large apple bunch and the right card below has a pair of apples with blossoms. And inside the card is a single apple.

The Apple Harvest stamp set is in the 2022 Holiday catalog. The new Apple Blossom dies that coordinate with it are available in September with our Perfect Partners promotion. See them here.

All were colored with Blends markers – Parakeet Party, Crumb Cake & Sweet Sorbet. I added a bit of color lifter on the large red apples to achieve a look of shine & reflection.

This card fold is super simple. Just add an extra score line to your Black card base.

Measurements:
- Black – 11" X 4 1/4" scored at 2 3/4" & 5 1/2"
- Parakeet Party 5" X 3 3/4", circle is 2 1/2"
- Cottage Gingham DSP 4" X 3"
- White 3/4" X 5" strip & 5 1/4" X 4" inside
