Do you love coloring with Blends Markers and want to stock up on a few additional colors? Are you a fan of Paper Pumpkin kits (or are you ready to try them out)? Do you love exclusive product? Do you love to save money? There are a lot of great Stampin’ Up!® deals happening now and into December. Plus in January, Stampin’ Up!®’s new products will debut!
BLACK FRIDAY SALE – now through 12/1
CYBER MONDAY PAPER PUMPKIN PREPAID SALE – 12/1 through 12/9
PRODUCT OF THE MONTH – starts 12/2
LAST CHANCE PRODUCTS REFRESH – happens on 12/2
I went live on YouTube today to share many of the upcoming new products and to share about the great deals happening now and into December. Click here or on the image below to watch that video and to learn more.
I hoped that what I shared in the video gave you more information on the current and upcoming promotions AND also gave you some creative inspiration from all the cards/gifts I shared.
Below is a small summary of each of the four promos listed above and information on Stamp-n-Storage’s Holiday Sale.
From November 25 to December 1 you can get up to 40% off select products while supplies last. Many products have already sold out. But there are still quite a few items to select from! What a great time to stock up on Stampin’ Blends Markers!
CYBER MONDAY PAPER PUMPKIN PREPAID SALE When the sale is on, click here to purchase.
From December 1–9, Stampin’ Up!® is offering 25% off on prepaid Paper Pumpkin subscriptions! Click here (or on the image below) to watch my helpful video on how to take advantage of this sale.
Get your hands on exclusive, limited-time, special products! A new product will be offered each month starting this December 2nd. Place a $75 order, and you can opt to purchase the Product of the Month for only $5. Because the POTM items are some of the best Stampin’ Up! has to offer and because there will be a limited quantity, they are likely to sell out quickly. Once they’re sold out, they’re gone for good! Be ready to shop and place your qualifyingorder.
LAST CHANCE PRODUCTS REFRESH This list will be refreshed with additional retiring product in December.
Every two months retiring products get added to the Last Chance Products List in the Online Store. Some are not discounted, but some are and can be up to 60% off. I encourage you to shop to see what is leaving, because once an item from this section is sold out, it is gone for good. Items were just added October 1st. Additional items will be added on December 2nd!

Have you seen all the leaves that come with the Harvest Home Garland Kits Collection Kit?!
If I counted correctly, there are 224. 😳 Wow! And that garland strand is super full when finished (as you can see in this image above). So… if you want to make your kit go a little further, I suggest putting at least a few leaves aside to make some cards. In fact, if you really wanted to (and you followed the suggestions I’m sharing today), you could technically make 76 cards from just one kit. AND you’d still have the garland base wire and acorns left over to use in another way. So I’m excited to present my cards to you today along with a basic mini wreath idea too.
Be sure to watch my instructional video by clicking here* for measurements, tips and directions (or you can just click on this image below if you are already here in my blog post and can view it), scroll through the photos that follow, check out the products list below, and then let me know if you have any questions.

Here are photos of my sample cards (and my basic mini wreath idea).
I’ll probably add more ribbon to this quickly-assembled table scape decor piece. But you get the idea.

It’s a big week for our family. Our 18 year old son, Luke is moving out to California with his friend Tyler to pursue jobs in the movie industry. I haven’t gotten too emotional yet. But I suppose that’s coming after they take off on Tuesday afternoon. For now we are doing laundry and packing, gathering up some starter groceries, getting in those final appointments (visiting the doctor, getting a haircut, etc.), and checking things off on our lists.
The boys will thankfully be staying with family at their three stops along the way before they get to their apartment. That gives us all peace of mind for sure. But we still welcome any well wishes for their safe travels.
Now I invite you to continue reading today’s post for this week’s creative ideas.

The 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar is a fun and unique product (available for the first time) through Stampin’ Up! I invite you to check out my Live video from October 4th. Shortly after the 44 minute mark is where I introduced and shared the products within each little door of the calendar. Then four days later during my October 8th Online Paper Crafting Class I shared projects that I created with some of these products along with measurements and instructions.
Be sure to watch my instructional video by clicking here* for measurements, tips and directions (or you can just click on this image below if you are already here in my blog post and can view it), scroll through the photos that follow, check out the products list below, and then let me know if you have any questions.
I hope you enjoyed what I shared in this video. Below are photos of my projects, and at the bottom of my post is a visual list of products (each linked to where you can find and purchase them in my online store).

Here are photos of what I made.
I didn’t even tap into half the products! There are so many creative possibilities with this collection of products.
🦋 Friday, October 10, 2025
On Friday evening I shared several more alternate project ideas that I created with the contents of the September 2025 Fall for Toile kit including boxes, a scrapbook page layout, and a variation on one of the cards I initially shared on September 20th,
Be sure to watch my video by clicking here* for measurements, tips and directions (or you can just click on this image below if you are already here in my blog post and can view it), scroll through the photos that follow, check out the products list below, and then let me know if you have any questions.
I hope you enjoyed what I shared in this video. Below are photos of my projects, and at the bottom of my post is a visual list of products (each linked to where you can find and purchase them in my online store).
I was asked the other day if I’m still making scrapbook pages with Paper Pumpkin kit. And I am! In fact I’ve made a layout (or at least one page) with 99% of all the Paper Pumpkin kits. Click here or here (my archive) to visit past kit creations I’ve shared.
If you did not get this kit, I hope you can apply these ideas to products you already own. OR…become an active subscriber and get in on the refill kit (as of today it’s still available). The refill kit doesn’t contain the ink and stamp images. But you will at least gain the main pieces and can hopefully replace most of the stamp images I used with some of your own.

🦋 Halloween Treat Container Inspiration
And for my last part of today’s post, I decided to photograph and share a bunch of Halloween treat packaging ideas! The first photo shows super simple ways to use the Spooky Sweet Suite of products (the stamps, dies, paper and bags) and the Fright Night Bundle to “fancy up” Reese’s treats and Hershey bars. I put these together in just a matter of minutes!
The topper for the bag is 2-3/4″ x 4-1/4″ scored at 1-3/8.” The wrap for the candy bar is 5-1/4″ x 6.” At the bottom of my post is a visual list of products (each linked to where you can find and purchase them in my online store).
The rest of these photos share the talents of fellow demonstrator, Rose Kerry. She gifted ALLLLLL these boxes, pouches and goodies to me! And I’m so excited to show them off to you in photos!! By the way I also shared these at the end of my October 4th video (fast forward to the 1:28:20 minute mark).
I don’t have measurements and a list of supplies for these. I’m simply sharing them to show off Rose’s talents and give you a bit more creative inspiration!
Thanks for checking out what I had to share from this week. I hope I inspired your creativity! 🦋

🦋 Saturday, October 4, 2025
Oh wow! What a fun day of sharing during my Live broadcast on YouTube today. I started by leading my viewers in a Mystery Stamping Project. (If you want to play along and haven’t yet, then you don’t want to see the finished card samples yet. So don’t scroll down too far, and be sure to watch the recording first!) After the Mystery Stamping portion, I then shared several new products many of which debut on November 4th. And I ended the broadcast by sharing cards & gifts I’ve received recently (including my mass-load of Happy Birth-o-ween gifts from Rose Kerry) and the September 11th swap cards from those in my Stampers With ART community.
Be sure to watch my video by clicking here* (or you can just click on this image below if you are already here in my blog post and can view it), scroll through the photos of the sample mystery stamping cards, check out the products list below, and then let me know if you have any questions.
I hope you enjoyed what I shared in this video. Below you’ll find my “clues” that I shared in the video, photos of two of my Mystery Stamping sample cards, and at the bottom of my post is a visual list of many of the products (each linked to where you can find and purchase them in my online store).
10/1/25 Mystery Stamping
Materials to gather:
Designer Paper (we will use two coordinating patterns and any possibly some accent images)
Basic White or Very Vanilla Cardstock
Coordinating Cardstock (two colors)
Card base color
Accent color
Stamp images/sentiments
Dies &/or punches (optional)
Embossing folder (optional)
Embellishments and/or ribbon (optional)
Adhesives
Trimmer & other basic tools
Cut and prep initial pieces…
Designer Paper
4″ x 9″ or 10.2 cm x 22.8 cm (pattern should work in portrait)
4″ x 5″ or 9.9 cm x 14 cm (pattern should work in landscape)
Basic White or Very Vanilla Cardstock
2-3/4″ x 3-3/4″ or 7 cm x 9.5 cm
Coordinating Colored Cardstock (for card base)
4-1/4″ x 11″ or 10.5 cm x 29.7 cm
Another Coordinating Colored Cardstock
3-1/4″ x 4-1/4″ or 8.3 cm x 10.9 cm
(Not needed right away, but to finish your card…accent layers from cardstocks/paper and accent images from paper/stamps/dies)
Clue #1: This will be a landscape style card with the opening in the middle.
Clue #2: Score 4-1/4″ x 11″ or 10.5 cm x 29.7 cm card base cardstock 2-3/4” or 7.4 cm in from each end (scores should be parallel to the short side). Fold in on each score line to form the base of the card. Position horizontally in front of you with the opening in the middle.
Clue #3: Cut the 4″ x 5″ or 9.9 cm x 14 cm piece of designer paper into two 2-1/2” x 4” or two 7 cm x 9.9 cm pieces. Adhere these each to the front panels or “doors” of the card base.
Clue #4: Open the “doors” of your card and adhere the 3-1/4″ x 4-1/4″ or 8.3 cm x 10.9 accent color of cardstock horizontally centered in the middle.
Clue #5: Score the 4″ x 9″ or 10.2 cm x 22.8 cm designer paper parallel to the short edge at 3” or 7.6 cm and at 6” or 15.2 cm. Then with your pattern facing you, hold the top of this designer paper strip with one hand while (with the other hand) folding back at the 3” or 7.6 cm score line and then forward at the 6” or 15.2 cm score line. This will create a zig-zag fold (or z-fold). Keep it folded and adhere the back of it to the 3-1/4″ x 4-1/4″ or 8.3 cm x 10.9 accent cardstock layer on the inside of your card.
Clue #6: Open this 4″ x 9″ or 10.2 cm x 22.8 cm designer paper once more and adhere the 2-3/4″ x 3-3/4″ or 7 cm x 9.5 cm Basic White (or Very Vanilla) cardstock in the lower third.
Clue #7: Close your card. Then take some time to cut, punch, die-cut, stamp, embellish to create a front layer for your card. Attach this only to the left “door.”
Clue #8: Open your card and cut, punch, die-cut, stamp, etc. to decorate the top of the folded designer paper strip. Stamp a sentiment on the 2-3/4″ x 3-3/4″ or 7 cm x 9.5 cm Basic White (or Very Vanilla) layer.
A big thank you to fellow demonstrator, Toni Shaw. Her gifted card to me inspired this Mystery Stamping project!
And this is the one featuring the new Brushed With Beauty Suite of products debuting November 4th (which is why you don’t see links for these below)…

Wowza! It’s so true what they say…time flies! Our oldest son Nick is now 20 years. His birthday was Wednesday and we celebrated with dinner at his favorite restaurant, Crave in Maple Grove, MN on Thursday evening. Pictured left to right: Tim, Nick, Luke and me.
In my first year of blogging, he was just 7 years old. At that time I was making cakes, decorating the house, and creating and sending hand-crafted invitations for themed parties. I posted this 8 year old baseball-themed birthday party photo of him with his baseball cupcakes (that I made!) on October 5, 2013. Oh how much fun we had with the birthday celebrations back then AND how little he was!
Thanks for checking out what I had to share from this week. I hope I inspired your creativity! 🦋

Subscribe to our monthly Paper Pumpkin crafting kits through me to enjoy exclusive ideas shared in PDF tutorials from the our PP Creatives team of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators.
I am an affiliate with Stamp-n-Storage which means I may get commissions if you click on links I provide and decide to purchase anything from this company. But this does not cost you anything extra to shop this way. I love their products and recommend them because I own several myself and believe you will benefit from them.
