FALL NEWSLETTER
Love it! Live it! Share it!
Fall is just around the corner, which means it’s time for the new 2018-2019 Holiday Catalog and we have lots of great new holiday stamps being released! The catalog will be live on September 5th.
NEW THURSDAY EVENING CLASS-HERSHEY LIBRARY
There will be new card making classes at the Hershey Library on select Thursday evenings from 6:00 – 7:30 pm. Come out to meet new friends and make two cards using new goodies from Stampin’ Up! There will be lots of holiday cards! The cost will be $6 for all of the supplies, plus envelopes. This is a drop-in class, so registration is not required but appreciated. Hope to see you there!
CHRISTMAS CARDS – there are three Christmas card classes scheduled for the fall. The dates are September 9, October 21st and November 18th. You will make ten cards (3 designs each and then you pick your favorite one for the 10th card. Cost is $25, which includes all of the supplies, plus envelopes. No worries if you can’t make it. Contact me if you’d like to order a kit “to go”. You can then put together the cards at your convenience. The cost is an extra $5 for me to assemble the kit.
MINI CALENDAR CLASSES – I’ve been making these mini calendars as gifts over the past two years and they’ve been a big hit. I thought you all would like to join in the fun this year, so I am adding a class to the schedule. I will have two classes (one in October and one in November). The plan is to get together in October and make the first six months and then the second six months in November. There will be two options (1) you attend both classes and make the calendar using my stamps, etc., or (2) you can purchase a kit and stamp the pages with your stamps at your convenience. The cost will be $25 for the two classes at my house using my supplies. The kit to go option will cost $15.
MT. GRETNA BREWERY – I will be having a Stamp a Stack class at the Mt. Gretna Brewery on November 25th from 3-5:30 pm. Mark your calendar and stay tuned for more details!

STAMPIN’ BLENDS TIP – have you tried the new Blends yet? They’re the perfect tool to add beautiful color and shading to all of your crafting projects. But did you know you can use your Blends to create custom-colored ribbon too?
Here’s my tip: Cut off the length you need of our 1/8” Whisper White Sheer Ribbon (144172). Now slide the side of the brush tip of your preferred Stampin’ Blend along the length of the ribbon to color it. It dries fast and you’ll be ready to add your custom ribbon to your project in no time!
You’ll find a list of the Singles and Combo Pack blends on page 204-205 of our Annual Catalog. Also, check out the new colors of Blends in the 2018 Holiday Catalog.

FREE TUTORIAL
Do you have a small treat or gift to wrap? Why not create this quick and easy gift bag! All you really need are the Gift Bag Punch Board, Designer Series Paper (I used the Share What you Love DSP because they’re heavyweight sheets) and some ribbon.
SUPPLIES:
Stamp Set: Love What You Do
INK:
Rich Razzleberry Stamp Pad
PAPER: (including cutting dimensions)
Share What you Love DSP
Rich Razzleberry stripes 6” x 12”
Mint Macaron and Old Olive flowers fussy cut flowers
Whisper White Cardstock 2 ¾” x 2 ¾”
ACCESSORIES:
Gift Bag Punch Board
Tear & Tape Adhesive
Mini Glue Dots
Stampin’ Dimensionals
Rich Razzleberry ¼” Velvet Ribbon
Pearlized Doilies
Stitched Shapes Framelits
Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine
Paper Snips
Bone Folder
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Use the Gift Bag Punch Board to create your bag with your DSP, using the Large (L) side score line. Make sure that you place the correct side of the DSP into the punch board. You wouldn’t want the flowers (the other side of the Rich Razzleberry stripes) to be upside down!
2. Use the Reverse Punch on the punch board to create holes for your ribbon.
3. Crease at the score lines using the Bone Folder.
4. Assemble the bag using Tear & Tape.
5. Thread the ribbon through the holes and tie the ends together in a knot. Hide the knot on the inside of the bag.
6. Stamp the sentiment in Rich Razzleberry ink on to the Whisper White CS. Die cut using the Big Shot and stitched circle framelit. Adhere to a doily with glue dots.
