12 Days of Crafting & Free Shipping – 3 Days Only

October 21, 2025Leave a comment

Remember the anticipation of getting to open one door each day on the calendar counting down to Christmas? You can re-live that giddy feeling with the new 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar!

Behind each door are brand-new, never-before-seen dies, paper, embellishments, and other exclusive items you won’t find in any of the Stampin’ Up! catalogs or in our online store which all coordinate with the 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar photopolymer STAMP SET (a double set, INCLUDED with the calendar!), worth well over $125.

This set (and the supplies in the calendar) are NOT Christmas or Holiday-specific, but can be used year-round for crafting happiness.

While I don’t want to spoil the surprises inside, I am going to share more ideas using just the stamp set (along with card stock and ink) from October 22-26th on my Creative Juice by Loni Facebook Page, beginning with this Summer Splash “Thinking of You” card.

Serendipitously, there will be THREE DAYS of FREE SHIPPING on orders over $75 from October 22-24, 2025, so this is the time to save 11% AND check off a Christmas gift for a paper crafter!

Now, if you are a crafter yourself, the BEST deal is the October-Only Starter Kit offer, and you could choose to add the 12 Days of Crafting to your Starter Kit for just $35 (and still choose a few more products!):

Show me the Starter Kit!

If you order the 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar from my store (while supplies last) OR join my team, you’ll receive 12 project tutorials using the supplies from the calendar before the end of 2025!

Branches Through a Window for #gdp514

September 16, 2025September 15, 2025Leave a comment

There was one piece of Silent Snowfall Specialty Designer Series Paper left on my desk after cutting and mailing all the September paper shares, then I saw the Global Design Project sketch for the week, and imagined looking out a window on a quiet winter afternoon…

Here’s the prompt for the #gdp514 sketch:

Rummaged through more patterned paper for some worthy “wallpaper” and found the back side of one of the Autumn Toile papers would be perfect (isn’t the “front” or “back” irrelevant? The FRONT is whichever you want to use!).

Once it was adhered to the front, I cut the smaller arch from both layers, then added a dark wood window casing by cutting out two nested arches. In this picture you can really see the detail through the window:

The Silent Snowfall paper has a snowflake pattern dry embossed into it, so I heat embossed some random snowflake dots from the Branching Out stamp set over the debossed side to break up the repeating pattern and help it feel more natural and random. Once it was dry, I used a brayer to roll Cloud Cover ink over the top – the inlaid snowflakes are deep enough they don’t get any ink inside. I know that we don’t have a large Cloud Cover ink pad: You can use the refill to ink up an empty stampin’ spot, or use a piece of felt as the ink pad by squeezing some ink onto it.

Once the branches were stamped over the snowflakes, that layer was adhered to a 4″ x 5.25″ Cloud Cover card inside (8″ x 10.5″ when open), with the fold on the right:

This “card-in-a-card” design allows you to catch a few snowflakes on your tongue as you continue to unfold the greeting!

Finally, you open the inside to find a large area to write all the details a friend would love to hear from you.

Tomorrow, I’ll be mashing up the Branching Out bundle (there is a set of dies that coordinate with the stamp set) with another new bundle from the 2025 Sept-Dec Mini Catalog, and you’ll want to add it to your cart when you see how essential it is.

It’s *FINALLY TIME* and hopefully I’m sitting on the beach as you read this! One of the last things I did to prepare for the Stampin’ Up! Incentive Trip was to create swaps, and thought you might like to see my card:

I used the Leaf Collection stamp we received as an all-attendee giveaway at OnStage last month to emboss a Shaded Spruce and Pretty Peacock background onto Shy Shamrock card stock. The stamp arrives on WEDNESDAY, May 1st in my Stampin’ Store! The ink stayed wet just long enough to cover it in clear embossing powder:

See that new color on the card base? It’s called “Basic Beige”

I added the sentiment in the Hexagon punch and a few leaves and sprigs using the Bough Punch and a sweet bow (if I made it, it probably has ribbon on it).

Looking forward to sharing more about our Mex-capade…when I have the time! And because I’m supposed to say this about earning the Incentive trip: “Results are not typical. Fewer than 1% of Demonstrators world-wide achieve this reward”

THANK YOU for your support and orders from my Stampin’ Store. I hope the value, teaching, and service offered to my friends & customers is equal to my deepest heart-felt appreciation!
