Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine Now Available

This wonderful machine is available for purchase now!  I thought I didn't need a new machine, but I was SO wrong!  I love the way this one cuts and embosses.  Easy to use, light weight, compact and it works great! I'm so glad I decided to upgrade.


CLICK HERE to go to my online store and purchase your very own Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine!

 


 

Magnetic Base Plate



The new Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine has an optional Magnetic Cutting Plate that I highly recommend.  Magnetic Cutting Plate (Plate 5) holds dies securely in place, even nested dies. This slim, portable sheet replaces a Cutting Plate in your sandwich, making it even easier to take with you. Use with the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Thin, fully magnetic sheet with self-healing cutting surface.

Woot woot! My first “Class to Go” is a wrap!  If you purchased one, I sure hope you had fun putting it together.  I certainly enjoyed preparing it for you.

It goes without saying that I miss holding face to face classes.  With the necessary social distancing and the fact that we all touch the same things during class, there just isn’t a way to pull them off right now.

For all of our sakes, I feel it is necessary to put those classes on hold for now.  I will reevaluate our options towards the end of June and hopefully things will be much better by then.

Since the first “To Go” class was well received, AND June is my birthday month, I will be offering a second one. And, since it’s my birthday, I will be including a special gift for You for MY birthday!  Happy Birthday to me!
As always, no pressure at all, simply an option in these unprecedented times.  I truly appreciate your support of my small business.

Since you are used to my cards being a surprise until class time, this will be the same, except that all the projects will be from the stamp set shown below. 

The stamp set for this class is Dressed to Impress.  It also has a set of matching dies. This was another set that I didn’t get to share with you in classes do to COVID19.
The picture at the top of this post will give you an idea of what the possibilities are with this set.  My projects will be different, the pictures are SU samples, but you get the idea.

This time I am offering two options.  One is just the stamp set and card kit. The other is the stamp set and the adorable matching dies and the card kit.
This set is carrying over into the new catalog and I am SO happy about that.

Choose:
Option 1—Stamp set only & 6 card kit.         $35.00
OR
Option 2---Stamp set, dies & 6 card kit         $68.00



If you already own this stamp set, you may choose something in the catalog that equals $18 or more.
You may also replace the bundle for something in the amount of $53 or more.

Both options will include some matching designer series paper & embellishments. Without the dies, there will be some fussy cutting.

Porch pick up for both options.  If you choose to have it mailed to you, add $8.00 for shipping. 

Packets will be made up for you with most of the prep work done, with the exception of stamping. StampinUp policy does not allow me to send stamped images in to-go kits.

These will be simple cards to replicate. All you’ll need is your stamp pads, coloring pens, scissors and adhesive.  Of course, you are free to change them up and use other greetings from your own stash.
I'll post pictures in a separate email after you pick up kits, so you can see how to create the cards.

It's necessary for me to purchase product ahead of time, so I need to require prepayment for this class by June 1st. The packets should be ready by the week of June 22nd.  Barring any shipping delays.

If you haven’t already received one, a new catalog will be included.
If this seems like something you are interested in, please contact me.   I would certainly prefer to have you in my home, but since that isn’t possible right now, this will keep us stamping!  Again, no pressure, just an option if you are looking for something fun to do until we get back together.

Please RSVP by June 1st with payment to secure your kit. 
Payment, cash, or check, mail or drop off:
 
Jennie Portonova
4826 W Desert Hollow Dr
Phoenix, AZ 85083
 
via Paypal jportonova@cox.net (friends and family, no fee for either of us)

As always, my best to all of you.

2019-2020 In Colors Are RETIRING Tomorrow

BIG NEWS!  2018-2020 In-Colors Are Retiring!

Heads up to all my Crafty Friends.  Since we can't be together right now and I normally tell you all about things at classes, this seemed like a good way to get the information to you. I certainly don't want you to miss out, if you need any of these items.  I have to say, I am going to miss these bright and cheery colors.  

The Retirement List will be coming out tomorrow.  
The In Color products shown below will retire to make room for new In Colors to carry through 2020-2022.

If you need any of these, don't hesitate, as once they sell out, they are gone for good.  Especially remember to get re-inkers if you don't already have them.  

As always, I appreciate your support. If you decide to order, please use Host Code CHMN2R9A  

Please stay safe and healthy. 💫
