(I hope you enjoy Nueve’s post today!  He worked really hard on it, with some “help” from his sister, Sixx.)

It’s me! Nueve! Mom told me I needed to learn about the cards she makes so I can do a better job at being her helper.  She let me get on her ‘puter to look at some of the Kris Mouse cards she made.  Oh, wait! Sixx just barked at me…

Sixx:  It’s Christmas, Nueve! Not Kris Mouse.

Nueve:  Grrr! She thinks she is so smart just ’cause she is the alpha now that Great Aunt Muffy is gone.  Anyway, here is MY favorite holly day card from this year!

Its got a Poisonous Etta flower on it. Poisonous Ettas can make puppies like me sick if we eat a lot of the leaves.   It could make us frow up, drool, and sometimes make us have the “bad potties”.  I haven’t had the “bad potties” ever, but I did frow up once. I swallowed a chew and … Oh, wait! Sixx just barked at me again. Grrr!

Sixx:  They are called poinsettias, Nueve.  The American Kennel Club says, “Due to the low level of toxicity seen with poinsettia ingestion, you are safe to use them in your house with caution. All reasonable precautions should be made such as keeping plants and decorations out of your dog’s reach and never leaving your dog unattended when decorations, plants and potentially hazardous foods are present.”

Nueve:  Grrr! Sixx thinks she is so smart because she has obedience titles.  Anyway, I LIKE this card. It makes my stubby tail wag when I look at it.  It was my Mom’s favorite, too, and she sent it to my human brother who lives way out in a place called Washington with my Aunt Kia.  Mom made up directions in case you want to make one like it. She used to write up directions for her students when she teached science a long time ago before she got tired again. Oh, wait! Now what, Sixx?

Sixx:  She’s “retired” Nueve.  She didn’t get “tired again”.  And it’s “taught”, not teached.

Nueve:  MOM! MOM! Sixx won’t let me do my job! She keeps ‘rupting me when I’m trying to talk, and I’m being a good boy.

Sixx:  It’s “interrupting”, Nueve.  Just sayin’!

Nueve:  Anyway, here is where to go to get the directions:  Red Poinsettia Card Tutorial

Well, I’m off to wait for Santa Paws! I KNOW he will bring lots of toys and treats for me because I am a good boy! That’s my name!  Good Boy Nueve!

Time to Reserve Your January- June Mini Catalog Shares

Would you like to have all the new designer papers at a fraction of the cost of buying full packages? Are you like me, and would love to have all of the new ribbons, but an entire roll is way too much for you? Or, does owning sparkly embellishments make your heart go pitter-pat? Then my January – June Mini Catalog Shares are for you!!!

Why should you participate in The Stampin’ Schach’s Mini Catalog Product Shares?

Here are three great reasons:

1. Packaging! Designer Papers are identified for you, so you don’t have to play “Which collection is this?” Ribbons are hand-wrapped and secured with a twist tie, not just thrown in a bag.
2. Amounts! You receive 6″ x 12″ rectangles of paper of the designer papers, except for the 6″ x 6″ or 6″ x 4″  paper stacks. That’s a plus for those of you who are memory keepers!
3. It’s a chance to sample a little bit of everything without breaking the bank!

How Shares Work

Shares are a way to sample the new Designer Series Papers, Ribbons, and Embellishments at a fraction of what it would cost you to purchase all of them yourself. And the nice thing is I do all the ordering, cutting, counting and re-packaging for you!

Simply EMAIL ME (kimschach@msn.com) to reserve your spot in a share. When your share fills (4 people), I will bill you via PayPal, or you may send a check. I will begin sending out PayPal invoices December 29th. Please let me know which share you would like, and the email address you would like me to use for PayPal invoicing.

On January 4th, I will place the orders for all filled shares. Once I receive the products, my husband Kim and I will get to work, and cut, count, measure and package up your goodies pronto! Because I want to get your shares mailed out as quickly as possible, I will expedite my order to Stampin’ Up! Your papers will be lovingly wrapped and identified; ribbons will hand-wrapped and secured with a twist tie; and embellishments will be placed into small bags. Once this task is completed, your shares will be sent out via the US Postal Service. (United States residents only, please!) If you wish to be included in the first round of shares, please email me by January 3, 2022.
