Thinking of You

January Customer Cards

I am participating in Bruno and Kylie’s World Wide Training Group and am excited to be part of their monthly Blog Hop.   The Blog Hop focuses on the Thank You cards that we are sending to our customers.

I made this card as a “warm up” card when I first started working with the Artfully Composed Suite. Our Creativity Abounds Design Team is having an online Stamp Camp using this suite. See more details about this Stamp Camp at the bottom of this post.

When I get a new suite of products, I generally stamp all the images, cut out all the dies and start figuring out fun and creative ways to use the products. I also make some “warm up” cards, so there’s no pressure in how they turn out. If you ever experience “card making paralysis,” maybe you should try making some warm up cards too! Tell yourself you’re making “warm up” cards and it doesn’t matter how they look, you’re just becoming familiar with the products. Sometimes my “warm up” cards are gutter balls and sometimes I end up really liking them. This one I really liked!

This simple card is easy to mass produce, and great for sending as a customer thank you. It shows off the beautiful products from this suite. I also like that you can make a card with this suite for anyone and any occasion including masculine cards, which aren’t always easy to make. I hope you’ll give the Artfully Composed Suite a second look if you passed it by when your first saw the catalog. I can’t wait to show you my fun fold card next week, that I’ll be making live during the Stamp Camp. I think you’ll really want to make it too! All the products I used to make this card are at the bottom of this post.

Here’s another card I made with this suite. Please spend some time hopping from one Blog to another to see all the beautiful projects.

Tuesday April 19th is deadline to sign up for our next Stamp Camp that will be on April 29 and 30th. When you sign up, you’ll receive a card kit to make 12 projects with written and video directions.  You’ll also get a weekend of fun and 12 more live videos with 12 different projects for a total of 24 projects all using the Symbols of Fortune Suite. There will be fun folds, boxes, techniques and more.  Everything is recorded so if you can’t make it that weekend, you can watch the videos on a different day. Demos and customers alike love our quarterly Creativity Abounds Stamp Camps. Here’s what some of the participants had to say:

Linda D said, “I thoroughly enjoyed my first Creativity Abounds Stamp Camp! I loved the global perspective of demonstrators around the world, the projects in both the make and takes and those demonstrated in the lives. The schedule of having a live video every 2 hours and the tips every demonstrator shared while stamping. Although the Symbols of Fortune Suite was not on my radar, I will be ordering because the event was so awesome and I am sure the projects will be amazing!

Linda L said, “I love that I can catch the live videos, but also can go back even months later and watch any of them, especially the ones I missed. There is no pressure to be at the computer on time or it’s gone. I really enjoy making all the projects and all the tips from demos from all over the world. It’s fun to grab a friend and do the stamp camp together. If you already own the suite collection, you can order a similar amount and still get the card kit and stamp camp free.”

Here’s how to sign up for the Stamp Camp-If you purchase the Symbols of Fortune Suite Collection from me for $82.75 (on pages 22-24 of the Spring Mini Catalog), you’ll get everything for the Stamp Camp for FREE!  You’ll need the entire Suite Collection to make all the projects.  If you’ve already purchased that collection or would rather have a different bundle, you can spend $82.75 in my online store on anything you want, and still get the Stamp Camp free of charge.  You will need to get the ribbon, Polished Dots, Mother of Pearl Specialty Paper and Symbols of Fortune DSP to make the projects.

Click here to order from my online store using my Host Code ZGZAV2MZ so you can get the Stamp Camp free of charge.   

Starting on January 7, 2025, if you purchase the Floral Delight Suite $89, from me using my host code (YHWGWJTF) you get 13 cards kits in the mail, free stamp camp, written and video tutorials, 13 additional live video cards to make 26 different cards with this suite by demos from all over the world. You’ll get lots of tips, tricks and ideas. Please join us! Email me at Beth @StampingMom.com and I’ll give you more details. There is no additional cost beyond the cost of the suite. My host code is YHWGWJTF. I will be cutting your card kits before I leave on my trip, so let me know you’re interested (email- Beth@StampingMom.com) and I’ll reserve a card kit for you today. 🙂

When you make a diagonal card what do you do with the other half of the diagonal? You make a second card of course! These cards are super simple. You can see all the supplies I used at the bottom of this post.

I used The Blessings of Home Bundle and the Classic Matte Dots that are in the new Jan-June 2022 Mini Catalog and aren’t available until Jan 4, 2022 for customers. However, you can join my Joy Team and order them starting Dec 1, 2021. There are so many perks to joining.

It’s time for another Festive Friday Challenge!  This week’s challenge #FF0098 is Christmas Jumper Day which this year is celebrated on December 10th.  What is Christmas Jumper Day you may ask? Well I googled it and found this- “The most magical time of the year brings with it Christmas Jumper Day which will be celebrated in the UK on December 10th. From ugly sweaters to cozy mock necks, we can’t think of a more fun way to get into the spirit of the season than wearing your favorite Christmas jumper. Better yet, celebrate the joy of giving by raising funds for a great cause on Christmas Jumper Day. What a fun holiday UK! We should adopt this in the USA!

The Inspo List is 10 items you can choose from to create your project. Incorporate THREE or more of the items in your project and link up! #festivefridaychallenge  I hope you’ll make a card, scrapbook page or 3-D item and join us. If you want help entering, please email me at Beth@StampingMom.com and I’d be happy to help you! From the Inspo List I used green, gold and ribbon.  As you can see, your entry doesn’t have to have anything to do with Christmas Jumper Day. I couldn’t think of a Christmas Jumper Day card, but I can’t wait to see what you come up with!

This is a fun fold I’ve never done before and I’m not sure what it’s called. The diagonal corner tucks in at the bottom. I love the Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) with the Gold Shimmer Ribbon. You can see all the supplies I used in the Product List at the bottom of this post. I’ll be doing a Live Video on both YouTube and Facebook, next Tuesday, November 30 at 7pm Central and I’ll show you how to make this card. My husband, Steve, and I do Live videos every Tuesday at 7pm CT. I hope you can join us!
