There are some fun items in this box! For the next 3 boxes, you will receive the new 2026-2028 In Color Blends. Let me know if you would like to receive this month's Toolbox by filling out the form at the bottom of this post. (If you received a toolbox previously, you will automatically receive one when I receive your payment but let me know if you want to pass this month.) Deadline to sign up is by August 15th. The price of the toolbox is $20 plus $5 for shipping, if I need to mail it to you. There are more than $25 in products included in the toolbox.

Every box starts with a set of Blends. I also offer the option of an ink spot and reinker. You may specify which ink spot and reinker color you would like to receive. Each month also has a sheet of dimensionals and a handmade card!! I have also started adding a free card kit!!

Let's look at the contents of this month's toolbox.

More Details about the Every Other Month Crafty Toolbox

What is a Crafty Toolbox?

It's a collection of Stampin' Up! crafting supplies you'll need to complete your crafting projects! An assortment of current crafting supplies such as embellishments, ribbons, adhesives, spritzers, glue dots, water painter, daubers, Blender Pens, embossing powders, envelopes, etc. will be inside each kit. You  don’t know what you’ll get each month. It will be a happy surprise!

How often will I receive the Toolbox?

Every other month (the even number months) you will receive an assortment of products valued at $20 or more. 

Will there be any recurring products?

Yes, there are. What you WILL receive each month is one Blends Combo Pack (a different color each month) and a sheet of dimensionals (total $10 value). I’ll also send you one handmade card.

There is also another option. You can choose to receive an ink spot with the matching reinker instead of a Blends Combo. Yay, choices!!

How long am I obligated?

There is no obligation, and you can stop your subscription at any time. 

How much does it cost?

This happy little toolbox is only $25, which includes $5 for shipping, so you’re getting $25 in supplies for $20! If you live locally and will pick up your Toolbox, then the cost is $20.

How do I pay?

Payment is by PayPal, check, or cash. If paying by check, your Toolbox will be mailed after your check clears.

What is the deadline to sign up each month?

Orders and payments need to be placed by the 15th of each month. Your Toolbox will be mailed around the 25th.

How do I sign up?

Click on the box below to fill out the form to sign up. You will need to pick the option to subscribe for 6 months or month to month. With either option, you will receive an invoice each month to pay for that month's Toolbox.

Christmas Card Featuring Pretty Poinsettia Impression Dies

Pretty-Poinsettia-Christmas-Shimmering-Stripes-Swirls-of-Magic-Stampin-Up

Hello and welcome to my blog! Today I'm sharing a gorgeous Christmas card made with the Pretty Poinsettia Bundle and the pretty Shimmering Stripes Specialty Paper. I combined Hydrangea Hue cardstock and Basic White for, what I think, is a winning combination. At the end of this post is a link for you to download a free tutorial with all the instructions and measurements and, also, a video showing the construction of this card. Links to all the supplies I used are also at the bottom. Let's look at a few details of this card. Here is the card folded up ready to go into an envelope.

The poinsettia is truly beautiful, but the Shimmering Stripes paper really sets if off. Even if you don't have the Impressions Plate, it will still be a beautiful poinsettia.

Look at the beautiful background the Swirls of Magic Embossing Folder makes!

The inside was stamped with a sentiment from the Pretty Poinsettia stamp set in Hydrangea Hue ink. I also used the Hydrangea Hue Glimmer Pen to add some sparkle. The die is from Beautifully Celebrated dies.

Hello and welcome to my blog! Today I'm hopping with the Stamping with Friends Blog Hop Group. I'm sharing a card that is a shape card made with the Scalloped Blooms Dies and the Bloom Boutique Specialty Paper. As an added bonus, the center section spins the butterflies around! At the end of this post is a link for you to download a free tutorial with all the instructions and measurements and, also, a video showing the construction of this card. Links to all the supplies I used are also at the bottom. Let's look at a few details of this card. Here is the card folded up ready to go into an envelope.

This side view shows the easel. I folded a 5 1/2" x 10" piece of Hydrangea Hue cardstock in half and cut with the largest scalloped circle die from Scalloped Blooms dies. Next, I scored the front circle at 2 3/8" to form the easel.

Here you can see the butterflies from the All a Flutter Bundle. They were heat embossed with gold embossing powder then punched with the coordinating punch. This center section spins on nail spinners. You can see this in my video. The link is below.
