Here's all the information of what is happening In My Craft Room - Classes, Events, Sales and a Free Tutorial.....
Hello .
Hello stamping friends, and happy Wednesday! ❄️✨
Hello friends, and welcome to another week of crafty inspiration! We’ve had such a fun mix in the craft room lately — from elegant birthday cards with the Traditions of Christmas Suite, to festive folds and floral layers that truly capture the holiday spirit.
💥
Stamp-tacular Surprise! 💥 Mark your calendars — Wednesday, September 18th is our one-day-only Stamp-tacular Sale! For 24 hours only, you’ll save 15% on all stamp sets and stamp tools — yes, that includes clear blocks and cleaning tools, too. This sale only happens once a year, so grab your shopping list and get ready to scoop up your favourites before the clock runs out!
World Card Making Day is October 4! Join Stampin’ Up! for a free virtual event from 2–3 p.m. MT. Craft along with the Handmade & Heartfelt Kit (available Sept 3) and celebrate creativity with crafters everywhere!
Plus, don’t miss this week’s free tutorial — it’s a little bit rustic, a little bit elegant, and a whole lot of fun.
Stampin' Smiles,
Glenda
CLASS UPDATE
Registration is closed for my October classes, and I am working on the November ones.
Stay tuned .....
24 Hour Stamp Sale
Save 15% on all stamp sets and stamp tools for 24 hours only during our Stamp-tacular Sale!
Shop stamp sets and tools (including products like clear blocks and cleaning tools) listed
here in my online store on September 18th to save. Our stamp sale only happens once a year, so be sure to have your shopping list ready so you don't miss out on savings.
Make sure you do the
math if you are wanting a stamp set from a bundle, and you also want the dies/punch. It may still be cheaper to buy the bundle at the regular 10% discounted price, rather than the 15% off stamp set and full price for the dies/punch. Just a heads up and FYI.
Save the Date for World Card Making Day!
Celebrate World Card Making Day by joining a FREE creative virtual event with Stampin' Up! from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. (MT) on Saturday, October 4th.
Registration opens on September 3rd. Even though the event is free, you will need to register in order to receive the link to participate. All those who register will also receive a special gift after the event ends! The event will be recorded if you cannot attend live, and the recording available to watch straight
after.
The creative demonstrations during the event will be using the new Handmade & Heartfelt Kit (166213, $44), an all-inclusive kit with everything you need to make 10 lovely, all-occasion cards and a card organiser for storage, available from September 3rd.
Plan to register for this event and order your kit early to craft along!

THIS HAPPENED LAST WEEK
IN MY CRAFT ROOM
Traditions of Christmas Trilogy
Tuesday, September 9, 2025
At 7:00 pm (PT), I went live to show just how versatile the Traditions of Christmas Suite can be for a holiday-themed birthday card which blends traditions and elegance. While it’s absolutely stunning for holiday crafting, it also works beautifully for other occasions. This time, I created an
elegant birthday card with gold accents, delicate florals, and a richly embossed background. The result? A timeless design that works for celebrations all year long.

Wednesday, September 10, 2025
My Wednesday newsletter went out bright and early at 8:00 am (PT), and later that evening I went live at 7:00 pm (PT) with the final card in my Traditions of Christmas trilogy. This one was a festive Season’s Greetings Z-fold card, layered with rich reds, elegant golds, and lush florals.
It’s everything I love about holiday crafting wrapped up in one design — festive, elegant, and heartwarming.

Thursday September 11, 2025
No live this evening, as I hosted my Virtual Notes & Totes Club and Class. Such a fun night of stamping together.
Saturday, September 13, 2025
At 7:00 pm (PT), I went live with a cool
new technique using the Sunflower Embossing Folder — and oh my goodness, what a result! 🌻✨ This technique is quick, easy, and absolutely stunning. We even played a little longer, experimenting with different colour combinations. Which colours would you love to try? Be sure to post them in the Share-It Saturday post in my VIP Group
on Facebook!
Monday, September 15, 2025
At 4:00 pm (PT), I went live to create a simple yet gorgeous card using the Painterly Pears Designer Series Paper. This project is all about making something beautiful without needing a lot of supplies. I shared design tips, step-by-step guidance, and plenty of inspiration so you can create your own version with whatever you have on hand.
THIS IS HAPPENING THIS WEEK
IN MY CRAFT ROOM
Tuesday - September 16
It was September Releases Launch Party time! The In Person Open House was in the afternoon, and the Virtual one was online in my VIP Group and on YouTube.
I walked through the Mini Catalogue and Online Exclusives release for September and showed projects, products and we chatted about
things.
Then I made a lovely card and we went on to experiment a bit with the background die from the Amber Autumn bundle.
You can check out the replay below on my YouTube channel:
Weekly Update Newsletter goes out Wednesday mornings at 8 am
I will be live at 7:30 pm (PT), in my VIP Group and on YouTube, with the Peaceful Garden Suite and a Fan Fun Fold card.
Thursday - September 18
Catch me live at 7:30 pm on facebook and YouTube. I will be creating a White and Gold Christmas card using the Label Me Grateful dies and some embossing.
Saturday - September 20
The Saturday Newsletter goes out this mornings at 8 am
It's the first day of the 2 day Scrapbook Retreat Repeat! I couldn't do the virtual retreat that Stampin' Up! did back in the summer, so we are getting together this weekend and creating all 24 pages (well as much as we can get done lol).
Then I will be live at 7:30 pm (PT) on facebook and YouTube with another Painterly Pears card.
Monday - September 21
I will be starting off a week of live demonstrations with a card using the Autumn Trees bundle. Join me Monday at 4 pm, Tuesday at 7:30 pm and Wednesday at 7:30 pm (all times are pacific time) and see what I have up my stamping sleeve!
Free Weekly Tutorials Just For You!
For this week’s free tutorial, I’m sharing a fun emboss-and-sand technique that gives your two-tone cardstock a perfectly distressed, vintage look — it’s all part of the charm! The jaunty angle of the rectangle,
popped up on dimensionals, adds just the right amount of depth to highlight the Gallery Blooms Bundle and Beautiful Motifs stamp set. The soft pairing of Petal Pink and Lost Lagoon, grounded with a touch of Pecan Pie, creates a sweet, stylish design you’ll love trying out.
Enjoy the tutorial—click the link below to download your copy and get crafting!
We would love to see what you create with these stamps. Make sure you pop to my facebook VIP Group and share your
cards in the Share It Saturday draw!
As we move into the heart of the season, I hope these projects inspire you to carve out some creative time for yourself.
Whether you’re trying a new fold, playing with embossing techniques, or simply enjoying the beauty of paper and ink, remember that each handmade card is a
gift in itself. 💌
Thanks for joining me on this journey — I’ll see you in the next live, and until then, keep those scissors snipping and stamps inky!
