Soft Seedlings Workshop By Mail

 Hello friends!

I hope your September is off to a fantastic start!  It's a gorgeous day here in Southwestern PA!

I am so excited to present this month's Workshop By Mail - Soft Seedlings!  The leaves around here are just starting to change, and it won't be long until the trees are bare!  

I shared the projects in my YouTube Live Thursday evening.  I hope you were able to catch it.  If not, the replay is here:

The workshop includes 4 cards with envelopes.  You will get supplies to make 2 of each. All the design work and a lot of the prep work is done for you!  You will receive a color pdf (sent by email) with photos and instructions for each of the projects.  In addition, I will send you at least $25 in product that you can use to keep on creating after making the class projects. (Per Stampin' Up! guidelines, stamps, inks, and adhesives are not included.).

Cost of each workshop is $41.00, which includes shipping back to you.  (The price has increased slightly because USPS increased package shipping rates).  All projects have been designed so you can use any stamp set in your stash, however they work better with the Soft Seedlings stamp set.   If you would like to add on the Soft Seedlings stamp set, you may do so for the discounted price of $18.00. You may also add on the Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder for a discounted price of $9.00. Tax and shipping are included.   

You may also purchase the .pdf only for $15.00.  This option includes no other project materials.  

Reserve your workshop here, no later than September 15.  Workshops will be shipped back to you within 3 weeks of your payment.

Please use the host code for September VSGFBVRN when ordering.   If your order is more than $150.00, do not use the code.  Doing so would forfeit your earned hostess benefits.  However, you will still receive this month's order bonus from me.

I am grateful for you selecting me as your Stampin' Up! demonstrator.  Thank you!   If there is ever anything I can do for you, please just let me know.

Make it a stamp-tastic day!

Cozy and Bright and September News from Stampin' Up!

 Hello crafty friends!

Stampin' Up! has really created a great product with the Kits Collection.  The kits are all inclusive and are designed for stampers of all levels.  The newest kit, Cozy & Bright, is not exception!  This kit makes 12 seasonal cards for the holidays, all of the same design, but the adorable included stamp set allows you to customize the greetings as needed.  Take a look at three of the cards I made up from this kit and the three matching decorated envelopes.
