November 2025 Newsletter - Christine Josti, Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator
Here we are in November! It's blown in just like the windy day I'm looking at outside. Last night, we lit our wood stove for this first time and it brought a cozy feel to the house. How are
you all doing with the early onset darkness? Next week I'll be flying into Las Vegas alongside hundreds of other demonstrators from all around the world. I'll be attending Stampin' Up!'s BackStage Leadership conference. I love going to Stampin' Up! events!!!! It's where I get to
connect with demonstrators I have met along my journey (of almost 19 years). And you guessed it, I'll be roommating with my good friend Ann Lewis who has become my Stampin' Up! Sister from Australia. I suggest you follow us on Facebook because there are sure to be good stories, lots of
laughing, Stampin' Up! updates and there may be some Thelma & Louise travels afterwards (with a different ending of course)!
Every other month Stampin' Up! releases a new set of Online Exclusive products. Today marks the first day of this new release. I happen to think the slice of chocolate cake looks delicious (and it has zero calories)!!!!!! You can see the new products in two ways: See all new Online Exclusive Products
here or, if you would like a printable pdf of the November products, please reply back to this email with the request and I will email it to you directly. The document is too large for me to attach to this newsletter.
We're Better Together With the increased need for food rising across the United States, I want to help, but I can't do it alone. I will be donating $25 for every Handmade Tea Box class sold during the entire month of November to No
Kid Hungry.
No Kid Hungry is a campaign of Share Our Strength, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that believes all children and families deserve to live free from hunger and poverty.
This class is regularly priced at $50, but I have reduced the price
by 25% for the entire month of November. This way, you can buy a great class at a great price and I am able to make a donation (on all of behalves), to a needed cause. I released this Handmade TeaBox Class in time for Christmas gift giving last year and it received excellent reviews. I know you'll love it
too. Class details and link to purchase: https://go.mailsomethingpretty.com/teaboxclass-flash-sale
"Make it Sparkle" The full quote for this Autumn card was "The blue pumpkins with the embossing make it sparkle." I love this comment (and love all comments I receive for my videos).
Autumn, Fall & Thanksgiving cards are always so beautiful because of the Autumn colors and this card is no different. I combined the Autumn Amber bundle #65893 with the Gathering Together Specialty Designer Series Paper #165969, but you can use any patterned paper for this nice layout. Measurements: Card Base 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" scored in half at 4-1/4". Top panel (vanilla) 5" x 2-1/2" Bottom panel (pattern) 5" x 1-1/2" Watch the video to see how it all comes together:
Party Banner Die Gift Box These Party Banner Dies #165264 do a whole lot more than just make banners! For this fun project, I used one of the
banner dies (middle size) to create this Party Banner Gift Bag. It's a fun and easy project that can be converted to any occasion and holiday. Watch to see. For this particular bag, I used the Snowy Delights bundle #165809 for decorating, but you can use anything.
This Week's LIVE will be on Thursday evening
No live today, but I will be live this Thursday evening with my good friend and Australian demonstrator Ann Lewis. Ann & I go live together once a month to show that you can craft together no matter where you live! Our theme this month is: easy to
"mass produce" Christmas cards. I've been showing quite a few of these in my 12 Weeks of Christmas series and now I have another idea to show you. Note the new time because of the time change: 7pm ET, 6pm CT, 5pm MT & 4pm PT Watch on YouTube - https://mailsomethingpretty.com/YouTube
