Stampin’ Up! News from Kim Quade
Stampin' Up! Inspiration Project
 

Hello Stampers!

It’s almost time to dig out your ugly sweater, pour a glass of egg nog, and enjoy the festive traditions of the season with those you love.

If you have last-minute gifts to find, I have some quick and easy suggestions for the creative folks on your list.

  • Paper Pumpkin craft kits in the mail are one-size-fits-all and come pre-wrapped in a pretty box. Available in 1-, 3-, 6-, and 12-month pre-paid subscription or month-to-month subscriptions.The December kit is called Something for Everything and includes a 13-piece stamp set and the ingredients to create 12 full-size greeting cards. Be sure to subscribe by December 10 to get your hands on this all-occasions card kit.
  • Stampin’ Up!’s all-inclusive kits are perfect for the crafter on your list. The three kits include a stamp set, ink spot, and the ingredients to create cards. I’d be happy to help you select the perfect kit.
  • Looking for something you can wrap? Here are 25 items under $25 dollars!
  • Last, but not least, contact me for gift cards for Stampin’ Up! products and classes – available in any amount!

Did you know gift cards are a $127 billion market* and 73 percent of shoppers plan to purchase gift cards this season? That’s a lot of gift cards!

Those gift cards will be much more fun to give and receive if they are in a pretty package! So, it makes sense that this month’s tutorial is lovely packaging perfect for gift cards and other small treats! (Unfortunately, the Brightly Gleaming Designer Series Paper is sold out, but any of Stampin’ Up!’s paper can be substituted for this project.)

Year-End Closeout is Happening Now

Stampin’ Up! is making room for great new products! Check the Year-End Closeout for a selection of discounted and retiring products at kimquade.stampinup.net.

Also, remember to check the Clearance Rack. You never know what deals you might find!

Sale-A-Bration is on the Way

Sale-A-Bration, Stampin’ Up!’s biggest promotion of the year is almost here. Beginning January 3, 2020, you’ll be able to earn free product with purchases of $50 and $100. Look for exclusive stamp sets, Designer Series Paper, framelits, and more.

I will be sending both the January-June Mini Catalog and Sale-A-Bration catalogs to those who have ordered from me in the last year. If you don’t currently work with a demonstrator, I’d be happy to get a set in the mail to you. Just contact me with your address.

Happy stamping!
Kim

Acetate Card Box Gift Wrap

 

Stampin' Up! Inspiration Project

 

Our Acetate Card Boxes (#144628) are handy to have around any time of the year. You can easily give handmade cards as gifts with these clear card boxes. Each box holds five to eight standard cards plus envelopes and you receive ten boxes in each package.

Today I want to show you how you can completely change the look and purpose with one cut!

Stampin' Up! Inspiration Project

1. Cut Box

Cut un-assembled Acetate Card Box in half at 4″ along the 8″ side using scissors or a strong guillotine-style cutter.

2. Score Paper

Score 4-7/16″ x 5″ Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper at 2-7/8″ and 3-1/2″ along the 5″ side. Fold the Brightly Gleaming Paper along the score lines so the star pattern is on the outside.

3. Build Box

Assemble one Acetate Card Box half. The finished box is open on one side. Add Glue Dots to back corners of largest scored section of Brightly Gleaming Paper, the side with stars. Slide into box, the smaller scored sections create the top flap.

4. Die Cut & Punch

Die cut scrap Very Vanilla cardstock with largest circle from the Stitched Shapes Framelits. Punch 1″ circle from scrap Night of Navy cardstock.

Add self-adhesive Star Designer Element to center of small Brightly Gleaming Foil Star. Add to 1″ Night of Navy Circle with a Glue Dot. Adhere to large star with a Stampin’ Dimensional.
