December 2022 Newsletter - Christine Josti, Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator I wish I could tell you that December would be a calm month, but I have a feeling that would be far from the truth. At
least it's true for me. The best tip I can give you is write things down immediately when you think of them because you will forget. I have so many pieces of paper everywhere with notes on what I need to do, buy, call, etc. But those papers are keeping me from forgetting everything. And, I love checking off the things I've done and putting them in my recycling box. I know that the winter holidays can be bittersweet. I wish you happiness, peace, comfort, good health and a sense of humor. Christine 2023 Paper & Ribbon Share It's that time of year right before a new catalog launches when I take orders for Paper and Ribbon Shares. What is a Paper Share? A Paper Share is a sampling of new designer paper from Stampin’
Up! It allows you to see, feel and use the paper before buying the full packs of your favorites. When you reserve a designer series paper share, I will order all of the new paper from the latest Stampin’ Up! catalog, cut it, labeled with the paper name & coordinating colors, and reship it to you so that you have a sampling of all of the new papers. This is usually about 1/4th the cost of purchasing all of the new paper packs yourself. Each pack of paper will be divided into four shares, cut into 6" x 12" sheets (unless it's already 6" x 6"). I choose to cut the paper the 6" x 12" size because I believe it is more usable than 6" x 6". A Ribbon Share works similarly as a Paper Share. I'll cut the ribbon/twine into four share lengths and label it for you. There is a picture below of last year's Ribbon
Share. I got my paper share yesterday. Luv it. Am so impressed with how you labeled everything. Thank u so much ~ Ginger The thing I love best is that I can see and touch all the papers and ribbons and not have TONS of stuff around my desk. ~ Linda December Mystery Host Party There are still some great deals to be had with the retiring of the 2022 Holiday Catalog and new additions to the Clearance Rack.

Testimonials: Since I can't do it in person, the kits and videos are great! ~ Ruby I've been a member of Christine's Card Club for several years now. I have
learned so many techniques through this setting. Two awesome cards and some kind of 3-D project: a treat box, a memo pad holder, a stationary box for my desk etc., every month! What's especially wonderful about Card Club is that you never miss a month even if you can't make it in person!! The materials can be picked up or sent to you and Christine makes these wonderful videos
to show you exactly how to proceed! This was the best ever during COVID when I couldn't be in group settings. Christine and her creativity saved me by keeping me engaged and productive!! Christine uses her creativity and ingenuity to make this club accessible to anyone who loves card making: beginner or expert. Definitely consider joining! ~ Mary Lou I will be hosting a Holiday Open House on Monday,
December 12 from 10 am - 2pm. This Open House will be more social than creative, but there will be two projects for you to make while you are here. Refreshments provided. You can also pick up your new 2023 Occasions and Sale-a-bration catalogs when you stop by too. RSVPs please and feel free to invite a guest or two.
