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) Venmo:Jennie-Portonova Zelle: 602-228-9840   As always, my best to all of you.

Beautiful Moments

Happy Sunday!  I hope you are all well and staying safe at home. 

Here's a little inspiration for you as we all work through this crazy time in our lives. I really love this stamp set.  The images are calming to me and that's why I chose to design with it.  I really miss stamping with you and I hope it will be soon that we can resume classes.
