My next round of Stamp Club begins next week on January 8.

Stamp Club is for anyone: those who want to come in person (my home studio in Norwell MA) and people who live too far away (I refer this as Club to-go).

My Creative Stamp Club runs from January through June, and July through December.  I run Club for 6 months at a time because it creates openings for new members to join twice a year (rather than12 months like some demonstrators do). It also gives current members an opportunity to take a break if needed.

Anyone who lives in the US can join, whether you live near or far or are a beginner or expert stamper.  I even have some team members who are Club members.

Everyone in Stamp Club gets to make three projects a month for free.  Usually, the projects are two cards and one 3D project. Club details can be found at: www.mailsomethingpretty.com/club

I had a couple of questions the other day about Club that you may have too:

Do I pay $30/month for Club?

Rather than pay $30 a month for the classes, you will place a $30 order each month for Stampin’ Up! products (for each of the 6 months).  I will send everyone a new host code to use each month when placing their orders.  I will mail the prepped class supplies to you each month and you can put the cards/projects together along with the videos I make.  At the end of the six months, I will send you a tally of the postage it cost to mail your supplies (around $20).

What does hosting mean?

As for hosting, I will assign each Club member a month to be “host” (there is nothing for you to do for being a host).  All of the orders from your group will be tallied and you will receive the host benefits (Stampin’ Up! calls them Stampin’ Rewards) for that month.  I would guess the monthly average is $26 in Stampin’ Rewards.  You are welcome to ask friends to place orders during your month to increase the Stampin’ Rewards (they would use the same host code as you).

~ Please let me know by Thursday if you are interested in joining or if you have any questions.  I will be sending out very detailed information to all Club members on Friday.

Last Chance for the Paper Share!

Tomorrow is the last day to sign up for the 2024 Occasions Catalog Paper+ Share.

All of the details, information & sign up form for the Paper Share is at: www.mailsomethingpretty.com/share.

Registration & payments are due by tomorrow, January 3, 2024.

All of the paper & share items will be ordered on Thursday, January 4 with expedited shipping (to avoid shipping backlogs).  Shares will be mailed back to you, or ready for pick up, the week of January 22 (assuming there are no backorders).

If you have any questions, please ask me!

Tomorrow is the last day to order from the Holiday Occasions Catalog.  Many things are retiring and will no longer be available.  If you are going to place an order, you can use host code 6NP2N9ZV.

Joining Stampin’ Up! any time of year is a good thing.  But joining Stampin’ Up! during Sale-a-bration is even better!!!

Save the Date!!!

On Thursday February 1st at 11am EST, I will be hosting a virtual (online) Open House.  This Open House will be in a private Facebook Group.  Details for joining the group will be shared soon in a later January email and will be posted on my Facebook page.  You’ll be able to participate/watch the Open House live and/or watch the recordings afterwards.  I will be showcasing new products from both the 2024 Occasions and Sale-a-bration catalogs.

Today I'm going to show you a fun and easy technique on getting color onto your embossed images (hint: it's with a spritzer).

You can watch live at 2pm EST (or replay) on Facebook and YouTube:

I go live every Tuesday at 2pm EST and every last Thursday at 7pm EST (for Global live stamping with my Australian Demonstrator crafting friend Ann).

Last Thursday was my December joint live with Ann and we both created fun projects using the new Layered Florals 3D Embossing Folder.

Preview of New Products!

For our December Club projects, we used a few new products that will be available to purchase on Thursday.  (One of the benefits of Club is being able to use new products early).  Here are three videos showing them:
