Happy October

Hello, and welcome! Happy October! This month brings some special promotions from Stampin' Up! as well as me personally. We have some great accesories coming out for the fabulous Stamparatus! This stamp positioning tool will change your crafting life, and now you can get some extra accessories to make it even easier than before. We now have extra plates, grid paper, and an extra foam pad. You can also save by buying it all in a bundle.

And now onto National Card Making Day...

We get them on special occasions, holidays and birthdays, they sit upon our mantle and some of them even get tucked into our store of special memories. Whether it’s Christmas or our Birthday, we always look inside for the gift card from Santa Claus or the money from a grandparent, often before we’ve even read the card (what a social faux pas! You should feel ashamed!) But have you ever considered making your own card? World Card Making Day reminds us that the best gifts come from the heart, and the hands and vision of the people we love, so get out there and try making a card of your own!

Stampin' Up! is having a special sale this week to help you celebrate National Card Making Day. Select products are 10% off. Click HERE to download a copy of the sale items.

I also have a special promotion for the month of October. Any online orders of $50 or more before tax and shipping will receive a package of the cute Santas Workshop Enamel Shapes. This special is good October 1st through the 31st. (Disclaimer - if SU runs out, I will substitute them for a similar item).

Thanks for joining me today! Have a great week!

Stampin' Up! Halloween Projects

How about some cute Halloween Treats?! These cute mini paper cups can be decorated however you like. You can purchase them from Amazon. They are so easy, and super cute! I cut out the cup wrapper with a die that I purchased from a company that went out of business, but they are still available through other companies.  The images are from our Toil & Trouble Designer Series Paper cut out with the matching Cauldron Framelits. I also used the Triple Bat Punch, Layering Circles Framelits. The sentiment is from the Cauldron Bubble Stamp Set.

I have another easy Halloween Treat holder for you on tommorow's Watch Me Wednesday. Please join me September 19th, 11AM EST, on my Jean's Paper Jewels Facebook Page. You can see all of my past videos there as well. Click HERE to go straight to the videos.
