Good Things Come in Small Packages

Welcome back to Stamping with Buffy! I hope you had a wonderful weekend. I heard someone say, “Only 21 more days until Christmas!” Of course, that was yesterday, so now it’s 20 days. EEK! I am totally not ready. I’m still working on cards, and I am way behind on my gift buying. I think I have one ready to go. But I’ve been having fun with family! Sunday was Garrett’s birthday (Amelia’s step-dad), and the town he lives in had a Christmas parade. My niece was in the parade, so I picked her and mom up, dropped Beth off at the staging area, headed to Stephanie’s with pizzas, and watched the parade with them. After the parade, the rest of the kids dropped in to share pizza and cake. And KUDOS to my daughter-in-law Katelyn. We spent most of Saturday shopping, then she made all the pizza dough. It was awesome! She also baked the cake and iced it. (So, basically, she did almost everything!)

I would much rather spend time enjoying my family than stressing over stuff that won’t matter in six months. So everyone may just get money or gift cards this year. But gift cards can still be special. This month’s Paper Pumpkin Kit from Stampin’ Up!® can help with that.

You can create fun gift card holders to help you celebrate your special occasions all year long! Personalize each gift with these reversible boxes and paper bands for a unique design every time. This kit comes with enough supplies for you to make 16 different gift card holders—2 each of 8 designs. It also has an all-occasion stamp set and enough paper pieces to make your craft really pop! No matter what the occasion or who the recipient is, this is a coordinated paper craft that everyone will love and appreciate!

Plus, this month you can take your crafting even further with a special add-on! Give a gift card and a personalized card with the Good Things Cards & Envelopes add-on. You get 20 cards (5 each of 4 designs) and 20 coordinating envelopes. Add-ons are live during the subscription period but will only be available while supplies last, so don’t wait!

Aren’t these much nicer than the generic ones in the store? I think so! You can order a “pre-paid” 1-, 3-, 6-, or 12-month subscription from my store, or you can subscribe monthly here. Monthly subscriptions can be canceled any time, and you can put them on hold if you need to. Plus, subscribers can order add-ons and past kits and refills. To get the December kit, you need to subscribe or order a pre-paid subscription by December 10.

You can also order the Christmas card kit, Cozy & Bright, to make your Christmas card sending easier. This card kit that has everything you need to make 12 festive cards. Wish those you love a merry Christmas and a joyous New Year with classic pine, cinnamon, and orange designs that will warm any heart. And the gold foil details add that special something to these seasonal designs. Don’t let the holidays overwhelm you–get your all-inclusive kit and make quick multiples everyone will love!
