Business Note:
Well, we learned that Stampin' Up! will be raising prices on their products and their shipping. I am very disappointed too!!! It's already hard enough to keep a small business going for a woman, and now, to have price increases, it will be even harder for me to stay afloat!

· Cardstock and Designer Series Paper
· Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machines and select plates
· Punches and select tools
· Kits Collection and select Memories & More
· Select embellishments and ribbons
· Select adhesives
These price updates impact all markets but will be seen across different product categories in each market; they will also go into effect with the 2022–2023 Annual Catalog.
Starting 1 April 2022, standard shipping and handling rates will permanently increase in all markets. The new pricing structure will increase shipping charges as follows:
- In the United States, standard shipping and handling charges will change from $6.95 USD or 10% (whichever is greater) to $7.95 USD or 11% (whichever is greater)—including territories and APO/FPO.

My share for today is Stampin' Up!'s Kindness Coasters Card Kit. Let's take a look:
Stampin' Up!'s new Kindness Coaster Cards Kit is unique and fun to work with, especially if you have never stamped onto Coasters!
So, I'm going to share the Kit with you, what I used to stamp the Coasters and a couple other options of stamping.
The first thing that I decide to do when I have everything ready to stamp is to clean my stamps and then stamp my stamps out onto a piece of Grid Paper to see how the ink coverage is and then I decide which technique that I want to use to stamp that stamp set.
My most used and normal technique to stamp is by placing one of Stampin' Up!'s Stampin' Pierce Mats down on my work surface. I then trim out a slightly smaller piece of Stampin' Up!'s Grid Paper to keep the Pierce Mat clean. This technique is my most FAVE when I stamp with Photopolymer Stamps as it allows you to get the best ink coverage. And, I have separate Pierce Mat that I still use for any paper piercing.
Sometimes, I also use this technique for the clear mount stamp sets (red rubber stamps), or I may use a flat, level, hard surface.
Sometimes, it is hard to get good ink coverage on a thicker or thinner cardboard/paper that you are stamping onto. So, I then tend to use my Stampin' Up! Stamparatus!!! That's a stamping apparatus, hence that name, Stamparatus!!!
(The Stamparatus stamp positioning tool helps you stamp perfect, crisp impressions every time. Easily align stamped images, including Two-Step Stampin' stamps. The Stamparatus includes 2 magnets to hold the paper in place, foam mat to use with photopolymer stamps; ruler on 2 sides, 2 open edges, 2 reversible, hinged plates and magnet storage area.)
I also purchased Grid Paper and the Deluxe Foam Mat that has a plastic laminate grid-marked with 1/4" increments with rulers on top and side and the bottom is Foam.
So, on the platform (left side) I have my Deluxe Foam Mat and a piece of Grid Paper. I laid my Coaster onto the Grid Paper and laid the magnets down to hold the Coaster in place.
I then cleaned my stamp and stamped it out onto scrap paper. I laid my stamp up-side-down onto my Coaster and brought my plate (right side) down onto the stamp and it picked up the stamp as shown in the picture above.
I inked up my stamp and brought the plate over onto the Coaster. I did this technique two to three times depending on the ink coverage. If the ink coverage was light or missing in a certain area, I re-inked the stamp and stamped the Coaster again. This technique provides the best ink coverage and a perfect stamp.
If you have questions, you can e-mail me at any time. O.K. Onto the Coaster Card Kit.
I did make sure that my Coaster was perfectly straight on the Stamparatus and that I adhered the stamped Sticker in the same direction as the stamped back of the Coaster. Sometimes, I forget to do this and the front will be o.k. and the back will be up-side-down (ask me how I know)!!! 😟😟😟
This is a really clean and crisp stamp with perfect ink coverage. There are also Stickers to seal the back of the Envelopes.
Sorry, some of my pic's are too dark again! 😕😕😕
The Kindness Coaster Cards Kit contains supplies for 8 Cards and 8 Envelopes.
The coordinating Stampin' Up! colors are: Basic Gray, Bermuda Bay, Daffodil delight, Flirty Flamingo, Pale Papaya, Pool Party and Soft Seafoam.
Sorry, I didn't get the fourth stamp picture. It's the same stamp as the front on the Tin that holds your Cards pictured below. Our power keeps going out. I will be glad to get this blog post finished. Way too long!!!
And, then you put your stamped Cards in the Envelopes and into your Tin.
I will probably randomly give these Cards away.
I hope you find something that makes you Happy/Laugh/Smile today!!!
Make it a FUN day every day!!!
