Before I share today’s post, I want to give you an update on a post from earlier this week. Last night, I received an order from my amazing customer and friend, Susie, that pushed me over the $1,000,000 mark of my career-to-date sales (Stampin’ Up! legal requires me to tell you that the level of sales required to achieve this result is accomplished by less than 1% of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators). The past 13 years have been INCREDIBLE, and this past week has been a thrill! Many of you have placed orders to support the last stretch of my journey, and I’m so grateful! I’m so happy to share this news with you and am so grateful for your support.
That said, I’m not cutting off access to my Big Bundle Bonanza – you can still be a part of the February 22 event by purchasing a bundle in my online store before the end of the day on Friday. To learn more, click on the image below:
Today I’m sharing a bit about the most recent Super-Awesome Fun Time Time Card Kit (which is now available as an online tutorial) and the sets of Designer Series Paper Swatch Books I now have in my online store.
Super-Awesome Card Kit
As you may know, I host a card kit with my talented friend, Emma Goddard. The latest Super-Awesome Fun Time Card Kits were packed and delivered to the post office last week. I love to share these kits with the recipients and love to hear their excitement about the goodies they’ve received and the video/tutorial they have enjoyed. Always a good time!
Today I’m sharing a little bit about the kit (which is now offered as an online tutorial).
More About the Kit
The Super-Awesome Fun Time Kits that were mailed out last week are designed with two bundles from Stampin’ Up!’s recent Online Exclusive offering – Mixed Florals and Mixed Labels. Emma and I paired the bundles with the Mixed Media Florals Designer Series Paper (how could we not?!) and the coordinating Low-Profile Dots. Each kit includes the card bases and all the cut pieces needed to stamp and assemble the cards we’ve designed. We also provided detailed instructions (a written tutorial and a video walk through) for how to stamp, cut and complete the projects AND share some techniques you love. If you have this bundle and additional stamp set, you’ll love the projects we created.
Here’s a look at the Mixed Florals Bundle and Mixed Labels Bundle:
These floral images and coordinating sentiments are incredible. The sentiments in the set are quite versatile, too! We also think you’ll enjoy the other elements we selected to create our projects. Here’s a look at the Mixed Media Florals Designer Series Paper, which NEEDS to make its way into your craft room (if it’s not already there):
Yesterday I shared the fun tag that was included with each kit – if you’d like to read more about the tag, click on the photo below:
Online Tutorial Available Today
While there are no more project kits to mail out, you CAN purchase the online card kit, which includes a step-by-step .pdf tutorial for each of these projects and a video from Emma and me about the projects we created for you. If you’d like to purchase the online tutorial (just $25), click on the image below:
Good news – while I can only sell kits to folks in the United States, I can sell the online tutorial to anyone, anywhere. Yippee! Even if you don’t have this bundle, you’ll love the fun layouts and techniques we are sharing in this tutorial.
There are other super-awesome online tutorials in my online store, too! If you’d like to take a look, click here.
Designer Series Paper Swatch Books
With the release of each catalog, I make Designer Series Paper Swatch books as helpful reference tools for creating and sharing the papers with others. As of today, the most recent sets of books from the 2025 Mini Catalog (including papers from December’s Special release, the 2025 Scrapbooking Brochure and select Online Exclusives) and from the 2025 Sale-a-Bration Brochure are currently available for purchase.
Here’s a link to the Designer Series Paper Swatch Books from the 2025 Spring Mini Catalog:
