Hello   Hello stamping friends — and happy Saturday!
Oh, what a week in the Stampin’ Up! world — full of festive surprises, creative
inspiration, and a few reminders that deadlines are creeping up fast.
 First off, November class registration is open for Winter Fun Fold Cards! These folds look fancy but are a breeze to create — and the best part? You can use your own stamps, dies, and designer papers. The focus is all on fun folds, versatility, and inspiration — and spots are filling quickly, with the deadline fast approaching on October
15th.  Speaking of newness, the Nutcracker Tags Kit is now available! This little kit is perfect for jazzing up gifts with handmade flair — full of festive characters, glittery sentiments, and everything you need to whip up charming tags.
 Also in the spotlight this week, is the fresh Creative Inspiration Sketch using the sweet characters from the Festive

 A rectangle of the "falalala la" pattern paper from the Modern Christmas 12" x 12" Specialty Designer Series Paper measuring 2½" x 5¼" was adhered to the left-hand side of a folded Basic White card base. A smaller rectangle of Real
Red Cardstock, measuring 1¼" x 3½" was added to the right-hand side of the DSP layer.
A square of Balmy Blue Cardstock was embossed using the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder, and trimmed to measure 3" x 3". A Basic White Cardstock circle was cut using the 2⅜" Circle Punch, and adhered directly to the embossed square. The two ends of a strip of the dotted pattern from the Modern Christmas DSP, measuring ½" x 4⅛", were cut to flags and the strip adhered to the bottom of the embossed
square, overlapping the punched circle slightly.
The snowman image from the Festive Friends Cling Stamp Set was stamped on Basic White Cardstock using Tuxedo Black Mementoâ„¢ Ink, and coloured using Stampin' Blendsâ„¢ (Balmy Blue, Real Red, and Timid Tiger). Wink of Stellaâ„¢ was used to add sparkle to the fur edging of the snowman's hat. The image was cut out using the coordinating die from the Festive Friends Dies, and added on top of the punched circle using Stampin' Dimensionalsâ„¢. The
finished panel was added to the card front, again using Stampin' Dimensionals. The sentiment, from the same stamp set, was stamped in the bottom right corner of the card using Memento Ink. Real Red & White Adhesive-Backed Peppermints were added as embellishments.
