Got Your Mojo on Monday?
Are you enjoying this time between Christmas and New Year’s? Have you spent some time getting your stamping mojo together?
We got our heads together in the wee hours of this morning to do a Mojo Monday sketch. *I* wanted a masculine card. I had to stop Ann from adding some diamonds or pearls to this!
What do you think? Could it pass for a masculine card?
A Homemade Card
Did someone give you a Christmas present this year? Was it from someone you didn’t have a present to give?
Although Christmas is for giving, it can be hard when we’re not prepared to give back. So what next?
Make them a homemade thank you card! And if you want, slip a little gift card in there. Not necessary , but a nice added touch.
After Christmas Double Special
Did you have a wonderful day yesterday? Did Santa give you some stamping money?
This pup can help you with that and will reward you with double Stampin’ Bucks when you shop with us today.
What are Stampin’ Bucks? Whenever you shop with us, we give you a Stampin’ Buck for every $50 you spend before tax & shipping. (Or this week, you’ll get TWO for every $50).
Then when you collect 10 Stampin’ Bucks, you get a free stamp set or framelit set of your choice. You can check out the Stampin’ Bucks program here and get started shopping here.
Here’s something to get an early start on
5 Best Value Items on the Clearance Close Out
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
I hope you can take a minute away from your last minute preparations to take a look at what’s on sale in limited quantity for big discounts.
Let’s look at what I thought was the best of what was available as of last night because Stampin’ Up! has never in my 9 years put stuff from a seasonal catalog on sale before the catalog is over with. (And I wouldn’t count on them doing it again any time soon.)
Sneak Peek Birthday Card
One of my favorite young huMANS is turning 12 on New Year’s Day! What to do!
He’s turning 12 so he’s too old for a kid’s card and not old enough for an adult card.
But everybody loves balloons! And with this new stamp set and matching Framelits, we made this layered card in a jiffy!
AND it looks better in real life with Pool Party & Island Indigo.
Snowman Birthday Card
We’re featuring another Winter Birthday Card today because we know there are lots of people with December and January birthdays who would like a handmade card in their mailbox. and everyone likes Punch Art Cards!
We’re aiming this one as a masculine card for our favorite guy who shares the same birthday with…
December Birthday Card
Do you have friends and loved ones with birthdays around the holidays? We have 3 in our family! The grandkids and my favorite huMAN’s brother.
(Does that make him my huMAN uncle?)
So here’s a card for the soon not to be teen girl who’s spending a lot of time in college. At least, this is the early version.
Save On Saturday
Don’t you hate to miss a sale? I know that Ann & I are always looking for the best value. We want the best products for the best price we can get it for.
Are you that way too?
That’s just one of the reasons that we don’t want you to miss out on a few of the things that are on the Clearance Rack Close-out at a HUGE discount WHILE SUPPLIES LAST.
We love this card! It’s not just for kids. Elmo brings a smile to anyone’s face!
A Box for All Seasons
Don’t you just love having paper crafting items that work year round? This Fry Box is decorated as Santa Clause, but it could be done for New Year’s, Valentines, 4th of July, you name it!
You could probably fit 3 York Peppermint Patties in there, but 2 fit just fine with a little padding that we made ourselves.

3 Best Deals on the Clearance Rack
Have you noticed that the Clearance Rack is getting smaller? We just lost one more last night.
So, here are the 3 deals that this pup feels have the best value – just in case you may have missed them. And I hope you’ll enjoy our vintage video.
5 Minute Gift Wrap
Do you find that small gifts aren’t always the most impressive when they’re wrapped? You might think that putting it in a bigger box is the answer.
Maybe not.
Wrap some chocolate up like this and it will be the hit under the tree! It’s got a reusable charm and a nice big bow. It’s a different slant on red and green using…
Fat Santa Card Video Tutorial
Do you like your Santa’s plump? Or does it matter? A skinny St. Nick might be able to get down your chimney easier, but a Fat Santa is more what I’ve come to adore.
I directed Ann to plump up the card that we showed in this post so we could make this video.
So come on! Which size Santa do you like?
