Stampin' Sat DATE CHANGE!! and *more* news!

 Hello, Sweet Stampin' Friends!!

 (Drumroll, please) The Great Cycle Challenge has begun! YES! My month-long cycling challenge fundraiser for the Children's Cancer Research Fund began yesterday, Sept 1! I spent almost 4 hours of my Labor Day pedaling to make a little dent in my 200 miles goal. I did 48.5 miles yesterday and 9 miles this evening, so I am a little better than 20% done towards my mileage goal. The BEST news, however, is I am creeping towards my $2500. fundraising goal! Want to help put a dent in the $$ goal? 20% of the cost of all KITS you buy from MY SITE, all year long, goes towards my fundraiser! Of course, you can always make a tax-deductible donation. To see my progress, find out more about the GCC and the CCRF, and to support my fundraiser, simply CLICK HERE Why am I doing this? Because every week, here in the US, every 2 minutes a child is diagnosed with cancer. About 38 kids a week will lose their lives to cancer. Worldwide, about 1750 kids per day succumb to their cancers. 90% of survivors will have a life-threatening event by the time they are middle-aged as a result of having chemo. These kids need better therapies. It is time to Kick Cancer's Butt. Please join me in this battle!

HAPPY NEWS! The Fall Holiday Mini Catalog goes LIVE TODAY!! CHECK IT OUT HERE !! Holiday and seasonal papers, stamps and dies... and more!! Don't forget to check out the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES for even more fun!

Sept Stampin' Sat DATE CHANGE! Stampin' Sat will be on SEPT 13. Join the fun at 11:00 at my house! As always, only $5.00 or an order! 

We will make 2 fantastic cards!

The FIRST card is a really cool PINWHEEL TOWER CARD! I have no idea how to photograph this, but I hope you get the idea. It folds flat and fits in a regular envelope!

Card #2 will use the gorgeous, new AUTUMN TREES bundle. I am waiting for some special paper but I do know the design we are doing! 

Please let me know by Sept 12 that you are coming so I will have your materials (and enough lunch) ready!

Can't make it but want to know how to make the Pinwheel Tower card (it is so easy, I promise!) so you can make them yourself? Love the Autumn Trees Bundle? STAMP BY MAIL! Paypal (teachph@aol.com, sent Friends and Family with no comments) or Zelle me $10 for one, or $15 for both cards and I will send you all of the papers cut and scored, images/sentiments stamped, colored and cut out, embellishments you may need, detailed instructions - EVERYTHING you will need except adhesives! Please email or text me if you are stamping by mail. Email violn1001@aol.com or text 864-921-9750. Card kits will be mailed Sept 15.

Looking ahead, Stampin' Sat will be back to the 3rd Saturdays of October (18) and November (15) so mark your calendars! There will be *no* card class in December.

SALE!! The Stampin' Write markers are being discontinued and are now in the LAST CHANCE LIST

SU has introduced a Black Journaling .04 Pen (item #166647) which may take the place of the Basic Black marker if you use that one for writing in your cards.

Remember, the red rubber stamps are also being phased out. Check out my previous blog post for all the info about that but keep an eye out for the new packaging! Especially excited that the DIES WILL HAVE PRINTED ARTWORK ON THE PACKAGING FOR QUICK AND EASY IDENTIFICATION!! AND the new packaging will allow all images to be printed at 100% size! 

Starting in November, we can purchase stamp and die organizers, in packs of ten, to easily transition our current cling stamps to the updated packaging, making it super easy to store our beloved products with the new ones. Item # will be 167772, and cost $16.00 per pack of 10. The current storage boxes (item #119105) which we can purchase will continue to be available for the foreseeable future. There are no current plans to discontinue those at this time.

THANK YOU to those who have subscribed to my YouTube Channel! I wonder if I can get to 900 subscribers by Thanksgiving? 

HERE IS MY LATEST VIDEO If you are not a Paper Pumpkin Subscriber, the  alternate ideas are still definitely worth watching! For my full video list, including non-Paper Pumpkin videos, just click here and feel free to share!

Thanks so much and I hope to see you on the 13!

Until next time, keep making the world a beautiful place!

New Stampin' News!

 Hello, Sweet Stampin' Friends!

Well, if time does anything, it causes things to change and Stampin' Up! has some changes ahead! Some are awesome and the others, maybe not quite so awesome. Bittersweet news first so we can end on a high note.

If you love your Stampin' Write Markers, be sure you have reinkers handy because the Stampin' Write Markers are being discontinued!! The Stampin' Write Markers will move into LAST CHANCE on AUGUST 20, 2025!! TOMORROW!! Since the introduction of the Stampin' Blends, the sale of the markers has decreased steadily. Don't know how to refill your markers? I did a video showing how, several years ago. I will link it HERE     SU has introduced a Black Journaling .04 Pen (item #166647) which may take the place of the Basic Black marker if you use that one for writing in your cards.

The other reason the markers will be leaving is SU change #2. The primary, unique function of the markers is to color directly onto the red rubber stamps. Well, read on.

The red rubber Cling Stamps will be discontinued!!  Yep. The Cling Stamps (red rubber) will be phased out. The current offerings in the Annual catalog will be available through April, when they will be moved into Last Chance. None will be transitioned to photopolymer, but most are nearing the end of their natural cycle anyway, The Cling Stamps in the brand-new Sept - Dec mini catalog will be available and move into Last Chance in Jan. Beginning in Nov, all stamps listed in the Online Exclusives section will be photopolymer. Why?  There are key raw materials which are getting very difficult to find, and some necessary raw materials are no longer being manufactured at all!! The wide range of Photopolymer stamps will support our various artistic styles and techniques. 

NOW FOR THE HAPPY NEWS!!! 

Stamp and die packaging will be updated. The photopolymer stamps are thinner, so will be moved into sleeker, slimmer packaging which will take up less storage room! Our current photopolymer stamps will gradually be transitioned to the new packaging as the SU inventory is refreshed. The current dies will not be transitioned into new packaging.

The stamps and dies will be in the same size and style of packaging, making it even easier to store them, especially together!! The new and improved packaging is similar to the current die packaging - those very sturdy, durable clear plastic envelopes. Unfortunately, because they *are* slimmer, the names and images of the stamp sets will not be printed on the spine. 

And now, drumroll please, the DIES WILL HAVE PRINTED ARTWORK ON THE PACKAGING FOR QUICK AND EASY IDENTIFICATION!!!! YaHOO!! How many times do we open die set after die set, looking for the one random shape we want for a random project? THIS is so exciting to me! Of course, stamp sets will continue to have imaging on the packaging. The new packaging will allow all images to be printed at 100% size!

Starting in November, we can purchase stamp and die organizers, in packs of ten, to easily transition our current cling stamps to the updated packaging, making it super easy to store our beloved products with the new ones. Item # will be 167772, and cost $16.00 per pack of 10. The current storage boxes (item #119105) which we can purchase will continue to be available for the foreseeable future. There are no current plans to discontinue those at this time.

We all missed our wood mounted stamps for a minute, and I am sure we will miss the Cling Stamps, but we all know how much easier it is to line up stamps when that stamp is clear! It will be okay. As for the markers, remember the Blends bleed through cardstock, so prepare for the layering ahead!
