Sweetest Time Bundle
Hello Stamping Friends,
You are invited to a Facebook Live event tomorrow morning at 9:30. I will be using the Sweetest Time Bundle to CASE (copy and share everything) this bundle from the new mini catalog and to case a beautiful red and white candy cane card created by the very talented Deb Hoicks of Deb Hoicks Crafty Cottage.
Every year you make a red and white Christmas card of some kind.
That is true, Sal, and once again the mini catalog is full of amazing products, some of which I will be using tomorrow morning. Here is a sneak peak.
So join me tomorrow at 9:30 and spend the rest of your morning letting me bring a pinch of creativity to spice up your crating world! There will be a prize drawing for those commenting by 9:40 and another for those who are still with me at the end. Hint: Prize patrol will be something from the new mini catalog! The event is recorded and recipes will be posted here on the blog on Wednesday.

The New Mini Catalog Is Live!!
Hello Stamping Friends,
Be sure and click on the title to go to the full website if you are on a mobile device. I have some product videos to share and they don’t seem to work unless you click on the email and then click on the header. It’s like going through a secret portal!
Hostess Code for August: HKVNWPPX Use this when your order is under $150.
The New Mini Catalog Is Live!!
Product List for projects in the Mini Catalog
Click above on the catalog cover for a pdf of the entire catalog that you can scroll through at your leisure. It will also be posted in the “Catalog” tab so you can go to that tab and plan your parties or gift giving when you are sitting and waiting for an appointment or getting out of the hot sun and drinking tea on the deck – at Maui or a cruise ship or……
Creativity hits when you least expect it – look at me!!
Yep! So you’ll never leave your catalog behind if you have Stampalosopher on your phone. You do have us bookmarked don’t you?
Click on each of the following screen shots to see a Youtube intro to the new product suites:
I like the little cups of cocoa best!
Me too, Sal, and I ordered enough to do neighbor gifts and coworker gifts for my husbands crew! I will fill them with the mini chocolate pretzels that I make:
- Square pretzels
- Hugs candies (one package has about 75 pieces)
- M&Ms
Preheat oven to 200*. Place parchment paper on a cookie sheet and then carefully line up your square pretzels on the pan. (Just eat the broken ones; you need the whole ones.) Place one hug candy on each pretzel and place in the oven for 2-5 minutes. Time varies depending on the temperature of your candy; if it was frozen it will take longer; if it has been setting out it will take less time. Watch for the tip to start melting down. Remove and promptly put an M&M in the center of each hug. Place in the refrigerator to cool. Here is a picture of some I made in Thanksgiving colors and mixed with a batch of Rice Krispie treats for neighbor gifts.
Contact me if you need a catalog – the annual or the mini. If the catalog got thrown out with the junk mail I will get you another. email: [email protected] or text 303-815-0838.
I need orders by tomorrow if anyone would like card kits for the August 11 Facebook Live. Club Members receive them automatically. We will make two cards for club and two extra projects to celebrate products from the new catalog. Kits are $10.
These are the products I will be using on August 11th. The kits won’t have stamped images but I will give you die cuts that you can stamp with your own Christmas greeting. You do have a stash don’t you?
We will play with decorating the envelopes:
And make cards with fun cutout borders:
And make a little gift box: (I have seen five different ways to make this little box)
Mark your calendar for August 11 at 9:30 and join us for a Facebook Live.

Mystery Card #3 and July Swap Cards
Hello Stamping Friends,
August hostess code if your order is under $150: HKVNWPPX
Today is the last day to order and get a $5 coupon for each $50 you spend and then tomorrow is the big day when the new mini catalog goes live, you can spend your coupons and the new online store goes live!!
Demonstrators earn the same $5 for each $50 and can order right now from the new mini catalog so call quick and we can make that happen (or click the join button in the tabs above and just follow the instructions.)
Our club met by Zoom last Tuesday and we shared our swap cards and made a “Mystery Card” using the list of supplies I had sent them all earlier.
What happened to Mystery Card Challenge #2?
Hmmm….. I guess I was too excited to travel to Mount Rushmore and didn’t post. I will have to backtrack with a different post.
The cool 1″ fold of the base on the Mystery Card #3 lets you see and use both sides of a Designer Series Paper (DSP). So often we let our DSP sit on a shelf because we love both sides and don’t want to use one side and lose the other. Here is our answer to using both sides! I am using the Ornate Garden Specialty DSP on a Terracotta Tile Base.
I glued the DSP to the back of the 1″ flap and used the reverse side of one of the 3/4″ DSP strips. On the inside you have the full DSP showing on the left and a 3/4″ strip of the DSP with the front side showing on the right.
For the greeting I used the Stitched Nested Labels and the Ornate Thanks stamp set with Old Olive ink and Soft Suede ink. The ribbon is the Ornate Garden Ribbon Combo Pack and Terra Cotta Tile gems (retired). I wish I would have had the new In Color Butterfly Gems in the Terra Cotta Tile.
I received pictures from some of the club members who completed the card:
Sharon made three cards while we chit chatted and made one! She is preparing for Christmas and sends out 200+ cards so definitely time to get started!
I will be starting Christmas cards August 11 on Facebook Live (and it will be recorded if you can’t be there at 9:30AM). I will be demonstrating 3 Christmas cards and a Christmas gift box as I launch the new Mini Catalog. Kits are $10 for guests, free for club members. Contact me by Wednesday and I will deliver or mail your kits to you. You can create the cards at your leisure watching the recorded Facebook Live on the Stampalosopher Facebook page or right here on the blog.
July Swap Cards:
I promised in my July Facebook Live with the Banner Blooms Easel Birthday Card using the Rainbow Glimmer paper that I would make a card with the die cut colored so here you are:
Recipe:
- Base: Granny Apple Green 4 1/4 X 11 Scored at 5 1/2
- Border: Perennial Essence DSP 3 3/4 X 5 1/2

- Inside Layer: Whisper White 3 3/4 X 5 1/2

Here are swaps from my creative stamping friends:
Swaps are so fun! We just mail our cards to each other throughout the month. If you are interested in August Swaps let me know ASAP and I will add your name and address to the list. Swaps are due to each other in time for the August 25th 9:30 am Zoom meeting.
Have a wonderful day!
SAL, So August Leaps into the picture
