Aug 23, 2020 | 12 Cards of Christmas, Cards, Class by Mail |
It’s time to get started on Christmas Cards (if you haven’t already). The time consuming part is the design, cutting and prepping. This class has that part done for you. You will complete the fun part – the stamping, assembling, and writing notes and sending to family and friends. My plan is to offer several of these classes between now and December. And the best part – we will do this with safe social distancing. This is an at home class and available for porch pickup or in the mail.
Christmas Card Stamp A Stack – In the Pines
This first Stamp a Stack class will feature the In The Pines stamp set on page 43 for the Aug-Dec Mini Catalog. If you remember my 12 cards of Christmas challenge – this is going to be card 4 & 5. I’ve already completed one set of 12 and will complete another set as part of this class.
Class supplies will include all the cut card stock, paper, envelopes, ribbon, and die cut, and embossed pieces. You will supply your own stamps, ink and adhesive. A written tutorial with photos will be emailed to you and a link to a video showing you how to make the card. Each class kit will include supplies to make 12 of the same card. I will also schedule a zoom for us to gather virtually to make our cards together. Date to be determined after everything is mailed.
Options:
- Christmas Card Stamp a Stack: $25 (porch pick up price)
- #1 Add On for mailing to you: $8 (mailed to your house)
- #2 Add On In The Pines stamp set: $21

Jun 1, 2020 | Cards, Memories & More, Retired List |
It’s the Last Chance to order from the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog and the 2020 Jan-Jun Mini Catalog. Items on the Last Chance lists will be gone at the end of Tuesday, June 2, 2020. If you still have something one your gotta have list get it now.
May Quick & Cute Cards Online
On Sunday afternoon I had an online class showing some last chance items and I thought I’d post real quick the cards I made. If you want to see the videos and project supplies, etc. you’ll want to join the FB group that the class was held in – At Monika’s Place: May Quick & Cute Cards Online.
Card 1 – Stitched All Around
This first card idea came from my friend Cindy – I loved how the background is made with Stampin’ Blends. You may see the Stampin’ Blends on the Last Chance list but they will be in the new catalog. Going forward they will be offered in combo packs only – so you get the light and dark Blends for a color together. The Stitched All Around stamp set and the Stitched Labels dies are both retiring. And so is the Whisper White Baker’s Twine – why did they do that? It is a staple in my craft room.
Card 2 – Birthday Backgrounds
This card idea is from my friend Melody. It uses some great birthday sets that are retiring – Birthday Backgrounds and Perennial Birthday. The color palette is from the Glitter Enamel Dots which are also on the retirement list. And the White Baker’s Twine – I’m so sad.
Card 3 – Mosaic Vases
These fun cards use the Mosaic Mood Specialty Designer Series paper. It has a fun mosaic tile design with shiny embossed accents. The paper is retiring and so are the Hand Lettered Prose dies that I used to cut out the THANKS. The Flower Faceted Gems are retiring too – they match perfectly to the Mosaic paper. The stamp set I used is Varied Vases which unfortunately is sold out already. But the Vibrant Vases could also be used. The Vase Builder punch will be in the new catalog.
Card 4 – Magnolia Memories & More card
And this quick card uses the Magnolia Lane Memories & More Card Pack and the Cards & Envelopes that coordinate. No stamping on this one. Really quick to put something together with the Memories & More products.
Look in the online store to see which items are still available off the Last Chance List – items are selling out every day.

With the start of the new year it’s time to create a new desktop calendar. I’ve been making this style of calendar for many years.
