Courage & Faith Thanksgiving Card

I'm so thankful that the Splendid Autumn 6x6 DSP has carried over to the current annual catalog. I bought about 10 packs right at the start so that I would have enough for my Tuesday Classes (and so much more)

I did need to pull out some retired Copper Clay card stock for the Nested Essentials layer, and the stamp set is the retired Courage & Faith. Probably a stamp set that I won't ever sell. My stampers love to have Bible verses and cards of faith and this set is perfect. The great thing about this DSP is that I was able to get 2 cards from one piece cutting them 3" x 5-1/2". The   1-1/2" x 5" Very Vanilla was embossed with the Birchwood Embossing Folder.

I had to dig deep to find enough Copper Clay ribbon for all of the cards that I made. I even reached out to a gal in my downline to help me out. 

How many Thanksgiving/Fall cards do you send out?

I counted the ones I have ready for the mail and my number is 125. WHAT?? Well I have a decent sized downline, several who are my paper pumpkin subscribers, widows & shut-ins at church, a large church staff, and my family of course. The cards I made are a variety, but I did make about 50 of this variety. 

This card was inspired by Mary Deatherage

FOR EVERY ORDER PLACED IN OCTOBER, I WILL PUT YOUR NAME INTO A DRAWING AND THE WINNER WILL RECEIVE THE ENCIRCLED WITH LOVE & THE 1-7/8" CIRCLE PUNCH

• Want in on a good deal from me?
  When I went to North Carolina in March, where I (plus 3 of my team members) attended the OnStage yearly Stampin' Up! event, I was encouraged and challenged all at the same time because we learned about some changes that Stampin' Up! is making. 

  
  

  The challenge that I came away with for myself is to reach my $300,000 in sales by the end of September. 

  If I do I will get to walk the stage and be recognized for this accomplishment at the 2026 OnStage event in Long Beach, CA (not that I really like walking the stage, but it really is an accomplishment)

  
  

  What does this mean for you, and why am I telling you this?

  I will need to increase my sales each month and that is where you come in

  I am asking you to place your orders with me, and in return I will offer you the listed price of all products. 

  
  

  If you place your order (after April 15th) online you will start receiving a 10% reward on all orders $20 or more, that you can claim on your next order (this all starts April 15th) - therefore, I cannot offer the catalog price. BUT... if you order with me directly I am able to offer you this discount. (I have no control over the online orders) 

  
  

  BUT... I will reward your order according to the amount you order with a product that I will ship to you. (an embellishment, ribbon, etc.) I cannot list what it will be because of the fact that items go on the unorderable list, etc.

  
  

  For example... If you place an online order of $75.00 I will send you a product valued at $7.50

  
  

  If you order directly from me I can issue you the discount immediately.

  
  

  ALL ORDERS will help me achieve this goal

  
  

  This is how the new rewards program will work:

  You can accumulate your rewards for a full 12 months and then you will have some extra "cash" to buy more product!!

  Whatever rewards you earn on your purchase can also be redeemed on your next order, you do not need to accumulate!

  
  

  I still ask that you will please choose me as your Stampin' Up! demonstrator as this will still help out my small business

  
  

  Thank you so very much! 

  
  
  FOR EVERY ORDER PLACED IN AUGUST, I WILL PUT YOUR NAME INTO A DRAWING AND THE WINNER WILL RECEIVE THE FRAMED SCENES BUNDLE A $38.50 VALUE

Paper Pumpkin Alternatives

Want to see some Paper Pumpkin Alternative cards from the March Paper Pumpkin Kit?

I'm hoping that you love these and will consider subscribing to Paper Pumpkin. It is so nice to have a fun kit arrive each month. After you make up your kit, whether you make them up as-is or if you choose to make alternatives, you get to keep the ink spot and the stamp set for your further stamping projects.

This kit was by far one of my favorites!!

We each have our own pattern of doing things: Patty always makes sets of 4 note cards because she gifts them away in a drawing or something for her followers (she is an author).

Anna makes 2 of each design, and I find a style that I like and make as many of that style for how many elements that I have from the kit.

I forgot to get photos of the cards that Sheila and Marcia made, and Bev either made cards like mine or I made some like hers, so those are posted here.

We all follow ideas from the Facebook Paper Pumpkin Fan Club, and sometimes change those ideas up too.

It's so fun to get together each month to work on our kits.

Current Catalog

If you do not have a copy of the new catalog you can check it out online HERE, and I would be happy to get you a copy if you need one.

I will need to increase my sales each month and that is where you come in

I am asking you to place your orders with me, and in return I will offer you the listed price of all products. 

I you are placing your order online I cannot offer the instant income. You will be earning the 10% in rewards from Stampin' Up!

If you order directly from me I can issue you the discount immediately. When you do it this way, you do not collect the rewards from Stampin' Up!, but you do get the full refund reward from me.

ALL ORDERS will help me achieve this goal
