October 2022 Newsletter -Â Christine Josti, Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator For those of you who live in Florida, North Carolina or anywhere else that was in Ian's path, I hope that you, your families and your homes are safe. Â I'm sure that the coverage shown on t.v. was/is
incomparable to the true effects that were left behind. Â Â As a follow up to Saturday's World Card Making Day, Stampin' Up! is offering free shipping for orders of $75 today only. Â Did you love the products they used in their demonstrations? Â Already have a wishlist? Â Now is a great time to order them and save on shipping. Â I still have plenty of cards in my stash, so if you place any order today (no minimum), I will send you 5 handmade cards. Â Did you miss Saturday's World Card Making Day event? Â That's ok, you can watch the
replay until October 18.  There are supply and cuttings lists in the Resources Section and the replay is in the Video on Demand Section.  Be sure to choose the language you want to listen to.  World Card Making Day Replay Link  I will be making seasonal treats on tomorrow's facebook live at 2 pm EST.  I'll show you how to make similar treats for Halloween, Thanksgiving, Birthday and Christmas (really, you can make them for year-round holidays and seasons).  Watch live or on the replay.  https://www.facebook.com/mailsomethingpretty/ Every season I prepare card kits for my town's Council on Aging.  I cut all the papers and film a video showing how to put the cards together.  According to Stampin' Up! policy, I am not allowed to include any stamped images in the kits.  Sometimes this can be a challenge when designing cards.  This month, I came up with the brilliant idea of printing the sentiments on my computer
and cutting them out with dies. Â (I'm not sure why I never came up with this idea before). Â I thought this "hybrid card" idea/tip would be helpful for you and your crafting. Â If you don't have the specific sentiment you want, then create your own! Â Decide on what you
want the message/sentiment to be, the size you need and choose a font. Â I create mine in a "text box" so I can customize the sentiment size easier. Because Basic White and Very Vanilla card stock are thinner than regular card stock, I am able to print on them with my printer. Â I
hope this is a helpful tip and expands your possibilities! Â Â I used the two label shape dies included in the Scary Cute Bundle. Â Curious about the cards they will be
