We have some new Online Exclusives coming on Nov 4, 2024. As a demonstrator, I was able to preorder some products. Although this is not everything you will see on November 4, I did order some products. I especially love the Marbled Elegance Designer Series Paper and the Brushed Gold and Silver Foil Specialty Paper. See those HERE. This is called unboxing for customers.
I also sent out copies of a newsletter with a reusable card to my prior customers and others who have shown interest. The newsletter was to reconnect with everyone and the card was a gift for them to use. I normally send information by email and will continue that. I had been inactive for awhile, however, and knew this would be a good reminder and hello! If you did not receive one, but would still like the gift, let me know by at Niecylovestostamp@yahoo.com. I just need your name and physical address. Of course, your email address is helpful, as well.
As far as what’s coming next, I will design the cards I need for Stamp Camp. I then need to make the card kits. This will keep me busy for awhile. It’s a good thing I love this!
Stamp Camp is a fun way for locals to come to my house and create cards. There are baskets with with different themes and card supplies in them. You choose which you would like to do, grab the basket and make the card. There is a cost for each card. You prepay a nonrefundable deposit of $10 to reserve your spot. This helps me know how many packets I need. Once there are no more in the basket, they are gone. You bring your own basic supplies like adhesives, dimensionals, scissors, and any tools you like to use. Do you need those supplies? Go to my online store – HERE – and click SHOP. You then can go to adhesives, tools, etc. The card kits contain all you need to make the card. Stamp sets, blocks, and ink are provided. I have Stamp Camp two to three times a year so watch the calendar. The next one is Saturday, November 16, 2024, from 10 AM to 2 PM. If you would like to reserve a spot for Stamp Camp, I take Zelle, Paypal, cash, even Square, so credit cards work. Contact me at my Niecylovestostamp@yahoo.com -and I will get back to you. Please reserve a spot by November 9. There are limited spots.
I do not want to leave the others who are not locals out. I will have Let’s Chat sessions on most Wednesday evenings, 6 PM MST. This will be on my YouTube channel – https://www.youtube.com/@niecycraftsandmore. In addition, I will be adding tutorials on most Thursdays. I call it Tutorial Thursday. Anyone can see the videos I post on my channel. Tutorials will be card making demonstrations, techniques, new catalog walkthroughs and other lessons that might help my customers.
I am also on Facebook, Stamping with Niecy. I will post videos and information there as well.
Speaking of Facebook, I have a Card Swap Group. It is strictly for SU! products with three to four swaps given monthly. Members are put into groups of ten to twelve at the most. They make enough of the same card design to mail one to each group member. It is really exciting to receive the cards in the mail. The talent is amazing. We also showcase the cards from our swaps through monthly reveal posts and cover photos. Check it out HERE. We would love new members. Just answer the membership questions and join.
Do not forget that you earn rewards for purchasing from me. You can see those in the Menu of this blog. Please review them. Of course, when you order directly from Stampin’ Up! they offer rewards as well. All reward programs are based on a certain amount spent before shipping and tax.
Please ask me if you have any questions. Comment here, on Facebook, or send an email to Niecylovestostamp@yahoo.com. I am here for you!
Thank you for sticking with me! I love my customers and friends!
Do you love kits? I do. This month, kits are on sale for 30%. Two new kits are coming in November with the Online Exclusives, also. (These will not be 30% off as the special ends October 31, 2024.) Take a look at the variety of available kits HERE.
Two new kits that will be added November 4, 2024
Speaking of kits, did you know there is a monthly subscription program? It is called Paper Pumpkin and you may purchase one month at a time or a six or twelve month subscription to save money. Do not fret. You can place your subscription on pause, as needed. You can also be like me and get one each month. They are wonderful when I feel like making cards or kits, but do not have the energy to start from scratch. The Paper Pumpkin comes with everything you need to complete your project including instructions. There is also a monthly video to help, as needed. Go HERE to find out more.
October Paper Pumpkin. You must order or subscribe by October 10, 2024.
November Paper Pumpkin. You must order or subscribe by November 10, 2024.

Boy, I’ve been in a slump. I know what the main issues are. I just haven’t been able to address them. First, my craft room is too messy. It needs to be cleaned out. I can’t work or do videos in there when it is so disordered. The other issue is the one of selling vs. having fun. I think every demonstrator has gone through this some time or another. I’m retired and have a pretty active life. Do I want a business, hence a job, or do I want to have a hobby? I know the answer to that for me is to stay in the middle. I enjoy sharing the craft with others. I need some sales to continue buying for myself, but am not willing to devote time to build a business. There are just not enough hours in a day! There are so many very talented demonstrators out there. There is always more to learn, but in my own time.
For now and until I get my craft room in order, I am taking a break. No videos, no classes, no big purchases. Once all is back in order, I can reevaluate what I want to do. Tomorrow, the clean out begins!
Thank you to all who have stuck with me these last years. I really do appreciate the business. It helps me to continue enjoying my hobby.
