Let’s get you prepped for a creative 2026! ✂️🐝

The holidays are winding down, the wrapping paper is cleared away, and now it’s time to focus on you and your crafting space.

Whether you are planning to join a big event or just want to restock your shelves for a fresh year of creativity, I want to help you get ready.

Through December 31st, I am offering an exclusive “Bee Ready” Care Package—absolutely FREE with a qualifying order!

The “Bee Ready” Free Gift

I know that having the right tools makes all the difference. That is why I have put together a special kit designed to help you prep your projects with ease.

The Story Behind the “Bee Ready” Gift

I was reviewing the “Additional Supplies” list for the upcoming 2026 Virtual Card Retreat, and I noticed it called for some specific desktop basics—like a pencil, an eraser, and precision scissors.

I thought, “I don’t want my customers to have to run to the store for these boring basics. I want them to focus on the fun!”

But I also couldn’t bring myself to send you generic, “ho-hum” office supplies. We are crafters! We like things to be pretty, coordinated, and inspiring.

So, I went on a hunt.

I scoured for the cutest, most stylish accessories to create a perfectly coordinated yellow-and-black boutique collection. I wanted to turn a boring supply list into a “Studio Chic” unboxing experience.

What’s inside the package? I am keeping the exact contents a mystery so you get that fun “gift opening” feeling when it arrives, but here is what you can expect:

• ✂️ The Star of the Show: A pair of Cutter Bee Scissors. These are the pro-level, precision tools you need for fussy cutting (the perfect replacement for our retired Paper Snips!).
• 🐝 The “Studio Chic” Accents: Instead of an ordinary pencil and eraser, I have curated a mix of color-coordinated stationery essentials. Think adorable yellow-and-black finds that match your scissors and make your desk look Instagram-ready.
• 🎁 The Convenience: Whether you are taking the retreat or just crafting on your own, these are the tools you’ll reach for constantly—and they look good doing it!

How to Get It (You have 2 Options!)

You can earn this gift with ANY purchase of $150 or more (after any used Stampin’ Rewards) in my online store. This is the perfect time to “Double Dip” on rewards, because at $150, you earn Stampin’ Rewards (free shopping dollars) from Stampin’ Up! PLUS this gift from me!

Option 2: The Virtual Card Retreat If you are looking for a guided experience, the 2026 Virtual Card Retreat ($165) is the ultimate way to kick off the year.
