Product of the Month Reminders
Each monthly exclusive is a specially-designed product that isn't available in any of
our catalogues or our Online Exclusives. Each month's release is available only while supplies last, so once it's sold out it's gone for good! You'll only be able to get one of each month's exclusive product. If a Product of the Month remains in stock after the month ends, you can order it in future months with a qualifying purchase, as long as you haven't already ordered it.
You'll need to have a Stampin' Up! account to take advantage and claim your Product of the Month with your
qualifying order. If you don't have an account, you can create one at stampinup.ca, or I can send you an invitation. You have to reach the qualifying amount of $100 in a single order; you can't combine multiple orders of lower amounts to qualify.
*A misprint in the Canadian version of the upcoming Mini Catalogue means added savings! The $5 price
will be valid through April 30th. From May's release onwards, the price will be $7.
Don't delay! December's Product of the Month, the True Blue Florals 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper is only available while supplies last.

You won't want to miss the first Virtual Card Retreat, a two-day craft extravaganza for all those who love card making and community!

You will need some additional supplies to complete your cards, such as inks, tools, and adhesives, and you can use this list to gather everything you need. A Preparation Video will
be posted to the Facebook Group a week before the event so that you can cut your paper and have everything ready to go before the event.
This exclusive kit is only available while supplies last, so be sure to order early so that you don't miss out, and so you get your products in plenty of time to be able to craft along!

December's Sketch
Here's this month's sketch:
And here's the project it inspired:
Themed around the great outdoors, the Outdoor Adventure Bundle has elements perfect for scrapbook layouts and also those tricky masculine cards. Â
A rectangle of Secret Sea Cardstock was embossed
with the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder, and trimmed to measure 4" x 5¼". The embossed layer was added to a folded Secret Sea card base using Stampin' Dimensionals™.
A Basic White circle was cut using the die measuring approximately 2¾" from the Spotlight on Nature Dies. The trees image from the Outdoor Adventure Photopolymer Stamp Set was stamped on Shaded Spruce Cardstock using Shaded Spruce Classic Stampin' Ink™, and cut out using the coordinating die from the Outdoor Adventure
Dies. The wolf image was stamped on Gray Granite Cardstock using Gray Granite ink, and cut out with its coordinating die. The tree element was adhered directly to the die-cut circle, and the wolf added using Dimensionals. The pattern stamp from the same set was stamped on the white circle in the space left after adding the stamped elements, using Gray Granite ink. The completed circle element was adhered directly to the embossed layer.
The 'Let's Explore' sentiment was stamped on a 1"
wide strip of Basic White Cardstock in Secret Sea. The strip was added to the card front using Dimensionals, and trimmed to fit.
December always feels a little bit like opening a craft drawer and finding far more
treasures than you remembered tucking away… and this month is no exception! Whether you’re diving into Product Shares, grabbing your spot for January’s class, or circling the Virtual Card Retreat on your calendar with a bright highlighter, there’s plenty to keep your creativity humming.
Â
If you have any questions, need help choosing products, or just want to chat crafty plans, I’m only a message away. Wishing you a December filled with
cozy moments, pretty papers, and projects that make your heart do a happy little tap dance.
Â
Until next week, keep your scissors sharp and your inspiration close!
