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.

Creative Inspiration Table
Come play along at the Creative Inspiration crafting table with this week’s sketch and colour combination for a little creative spark. Think of it as a gentle nudge to try something new, mix it up, and see where your creativity takes you. What will you create today? When you’re finished, be sure to
share your project on my Share It Saturday post on Facebook—I can’t wait to see what you make!
The cozy imagery of the Keep Warm Photopolymer Stamp Set is combined with
a modern colour palette to create this fun, festive project. Â
The second mask from the Snowy Delights Decorative Masks was used with a Blending Brush and Pretty in Pink Classic Stampin' Inkâ„¢ on a folded Pretty in Pink card base to place a snowflake image centrally to form the background. A dark Pretty in Pink Stampin' Blendâ„¢ was used to add additional ink splatters.
The sweater, hat, and a pair of mitten images from the Keep Warm
Photopolymer Stamp Set were stamped on Basic White Cardstock using Night of Navy ink. The images were coloured using Lost Lagoon and Night of Navy Stampin' Blends, and carefully cut out. The "’tis the season" sentiment from the same stamp set was stamped in Night of Navy on a ¾" x 2¼" strip of Lost Lagoon Cardstock. The right end of the stamped strip and the right end of a ½" x 2¼" strip of Night of Navy Cardstock were each cut to form flags.
The Night of Navy strip was adhered directly
to the card front as shown. A length of White Baker's Twine (from the Baker's Twine Essentials Pack) was adhered to the pair of mittens, and the mittens added to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionalsâ„¢. The sentiment strip was added over the looped twine, also with Stampin' Dimensionals.
The sweater and hat were added to the card front, again using Stampin' Dimensionals, and Balmy Blue Frosted Iridescent Dots added as the final embellishments.
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' Dimensionalsâ„¢.
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.
Thank you for spending a little slice of your December with me.Â
Â
Whether you’re diving into product shares, planning ahead for January classes, or simply soaking up creative inspiration, I’m so grateful to be crafting alongside you.Â
Â
I thought I’d share a little AI (artificial intelligence) creativity with you today. How fun is this festive photo? It definitely made me smile — and honestly, don’t we all wish we could look this
fabulous for a Christmas photo shoot? 😉
Â
Sometimes it’s just fun to play, imagine, and add a little sparkle to the season!
Â
Â
This season is all about connection, creativity, and enjoying the moments that matter—paper, ink, glue, and all.
Until next time, may your days be merry, your projects be joyful, and your craft table always have just enough room for one more idea.
