Hello . Â Hello stamping friends, and happy Wednesday.
There’s so much to share this week—from exciting classes to beautiful techniques and fun upcoming lives! Whether you’re looking to join a class, try a fresh fold, or explore the latest kits, there’s something here to spark your creativity and help you make the most of your crafting time.Â
 Let’s
explore what’s coming up, how you can join the fun, and all the creative things happening In My Craft Room this month!  Stampin' Smiles, MY CLASSES AND EVENTS Registration Information AUGUST CLASS .....  Kintsugi Suite Class and Monthly Tutorial Subscription. Also, the Monthly Club
Cards! Registration Closed July 15th. Â Registration has officially closed for the Kintsugi class, but I "may" know someone (LOL). If you want to join us, click the link below by 6 pm tonight (Wed. July 16, 2025) and join the fun. Â Then the class offer is gone, but the tutorial
is still available. Â Â Â Â SEPTEMBER CLASS .... Information coming soon! Â August's Paper Pumpkinâ„¢Create whimsical
cards featuring floral elements with August's kit, that also includes an additional FREE stamp set!
Your kit includes everything you need to make 9 cards (3 each of 3 designs), with 9 coordinating envelopes. You'll receive precut vellum pieces and linen thread to adorn your designs, plus sentiment stamps suitable for both the outside and inside of your cards. A Secret Sea Classic Stampin' Spot is also provided, and other coordinating Stampin' Up! colours are Calypso Coral, Darling
Duckling, Gray Granite, Lost Lagoon, and Pecan Pie.
 Don't forget that you can purchase the Circle of Seasons Dies add-on which coordinate with all three of this quarter's kits (July, August, and September 2025). This bumper set of dies lets you cut a stitched circle,
a "hello" sentiment, and tiny floral and leaf accent pieces. It also includes a combination of dies that will build either a strawberry or acorn element. Don't delay ordering as this add-on is offered while supplies last, and is only available to current Paper Pumpkin subscribers.
To subscribe, you can choose the pay-as-you-go option to pay monthly, or select a prepay plan to pay in advance for 3, 6, or 12 months from my online store. The cut-off date to subscribe and receive each month's kit is the 10th of the month, so to receive the August kit, you must purchase your subscription before August 10th.

Featuring the gorgeous Sunflower Embossing Folder, this card highlights the raised floral design in such a lovely, tactile way—it adds both rustic charm and a touch of elegance to
the card front. If you haven’t seen it yet, I’d love for you to catch the replay and get inspired to try this fold for yourself! Â

 Wednesday, July 9, 2025 My Wednesday newsletter went out at 8 am.  There were no additional lives this week, as we took a little break to head north and spend some cherished time with our grandchildren. 💕 Family moments like these are so special—and a perfect way to recharge. I’ll be back soon with more creative inspiration to share with you!  We’re on our way home and I’ll be back live again tomorrow—I can’t wait to create with you! 💕 In the meantime, take a peek at this Stunning Fault Line Card I recently made using the Gallery Blooms stamp set and the gorgeous Marbled Elegance paper. The unique design and beautiful textures make this card a real standout—I
think you’ll love it!  Click the link below to read about how I created it.  .jpg)
