 Hello stampers! Hi everyone! Welcome to Stampin' Chat with Stampin' Jill and Stampin' Aubrey. We are so excited to be here today. We weren't able to be here last week. It was as you all know it was Halloween. Yes. And we were spending time with family, with our kids and grandkids. That's right. Watching them in parades and classroom parties and all the fun things. So it was fun. We missed last week, but we are here this week and super excited to play. Before we get started, I do want to announce our winner from our last live. Yes. If you remember, we did our layout ideas and we challenged you to go and make a card with the same layout. And then for those that did that, to go and put it on our Stampin' Jill VIP page. And we drew a winner from those entries. Do we have two winners? Just one winner. A one winner. Okay. So the winner is Tracy Jacobs. Awesome! Yay Tracy! And you get a $25 order with us. Thank you so much. And thanks to all of those that participated. Super fun. Yep. All right. Do you want to tell them what we are playing with today? Yes. We're playing with a kit that Stampin' up has. And this is actually designed for a countdown. Like an advent. Right. And it's called Rustic Christmas Countdown Kit. But we're going to show you some ways to use it, not as a countdown. Right. It's super, it's super cute. But that doesn't apply to everybody. So we wanted to just give you some other ideas. And we'll switch the camera. So I'm going to show you some of the items that you get in the kit. Okay. Let's see. I guess it's a little glossy. But you get these little, these are really cool. Kind of little envelopes. So if you were going to, and you also get these really cute close pins here that you can use. And all these cutouts, there's no Stampin' in this kit. Although we're going to use a Sane Sets that we've chosen to use with ours. Like I'm going to use Mary and Bright. And I liked the Sains in the Christmas Classics. So we're using those. And Beth used the Joy to You Stamp Set. Yes. So Beth played with this too with us. And she used Joy to You. This super cute saying one. And did some little gift card holder ideas. You can see. I love it. So cute. So she made like a little flap right there. Slide out. And then look at that cute bow. And then turn it around. You know, this would also be fun to do up like this. And you could hang it on the tree. Oh, because sometimes you want to stick something in there too. There's another one with the slide out. So cute. And they come with all these little cutouts. So you, you know, they're in there with you. Yeah. And this little twine and ribbon. And this Sains that really works cute with those. I think it really does. And I love the bling. I'm going to finish mine that I did earlier. So what I did was I folded up the card and just scored it and then took a half circle punch here and just cut that bottom out. So there's a little, there's a place to put a card and then this card and then I just folded that down. So just doing something different with it is kind of fun. What did you do, Aubrey? I was just making some cards. So here's one that I made. And with that Christmas classic set, super fun. These are sequins and they look like rhinestones, but they're, they're sequins. They're so cute. It's cute bling in there. And then, okay, so I wanted to show you some of the elements in here. And I'm just going to keep on stamping. Perfect. So you have some little, what would you call these? I want to say fern, but I don't think that's right. Greenery. Greenery. That's a great, great term. So you have those, you have these little circle greeneries. And then there's all the numbers. So some of the numbers are printed on gold and some are printed on like a wood grain. So you can use those, just cover up the numbers if you're doing them on cards and whatnot. There's these cute little poinsettias, like the one that Jill had on her card that she was doing. There's, I showed you the bows. There's these I wanted to show you. These little berries. These are holly berries, not mistletoe, holly berries. Mistletoe is white. Yes, it is. And holly is red. Our kids used to sell mistletoe. Yes. So there's just all these fun little punch outs that you can add to your card. And I kind of grabbed some different things. I know I want to use, but I just haven't put anything together yet. So I love this little poinsettia. And then I grabbed one of the wood grain ones. I'm just going to turn it over and use the backside that's white to stamp on and stamp deck the halls on there. And I've just cut up my, the actual thing and use it as designer series paper on. Oh, that's a great idea. So I'm just going to go ahead and use it as a background because it gives that, it almost looks like, what is that stuff called? Burlap. Burlap, yes. Thank you. So really just like the poinsettia. It's cute. And I think that these are cool and you just basically can cover them up with something else, you know, the one you can basically cover it up and then put something on it. So it's not showing. How many people have ordered this so far? Maybe we have some and maybe, you know, no people have ordered it yet. I'm not sure. I'll be honest, pulling it out today. It was the first time I'd even really looked at it. Right. It is really cute. It is cute. And my kids would love to have it as an advent. Oh, I like that with the, the greenery over the one. See how I did that with the, just covering it up. So I think I'm going to stamp right on the burlap piece. So I'm going to put that down. I'm going to trim down this little one. I want it to kind of fit right around that. So I just cut my card size, the note card and envelope size so I can use our envelopes. And this is five by three and a half. So that's what I just did. So I'm going to put this down. So I like how you can use the pieces for different things, you know. I think it's cute that you can go ahead. And it's nice because I just love the colors. Rhonda says she has it. Oh good. I just think you can use so many different stamp sets with it to actually stamp. Yeah. I'm wondering Rhonda, have you put it together yet? Or is it in your collection? And let's see, who else? Ramona, Ramona asked how much they sell for. Do you know how much these ones cost, Beth? Oh, Beth already answered. Look at it. 19. Perfect. It is really nice. She keeps on top of everything. Yes, she does. She keeps us so we don't have to think. Right, Aubrey? Pretty much. Okay, where's my berries? I know they're here somewhere. Okay, so I've got the Merry Christmas. Look how nice that looks on it. And it shows the burlap behind. Very cute. So I think I'll pop these up with dimensionals. So this is really good also for somebody who doesn't have any stamping product and you can just go ahead and put it together without. It does come with adhesive and it comes with dimensionals too. Oh, does it? Yeah. They have a little thing of dimensionals in there. So you can pop things up with the kit. Perfect. It would also be fun for your grandkids to kind of design their own calendar or count down if they want it to use it that way. I know, like I said, my kids would probably love it. Your kids would love it. Oh, I love it. Okay, that's very cute. Anybody see my berries? Right there. Oh, there they are. They're upside down. Okay, I'm sure you guys all see it and I can't see it. Okay, I'm gonna pop those up too. I'll leave them down. I just couldn't believe and this is the first time we've opened the kit to see how pretty the colors are. Don't you think the colors are really pretty? Yeah, they are. Mossy Meadow and Cherry Cobbler. And you can use Real Red if you need to too. That's what I stamped my sings with. Oops, I didn't get the adhesive on that. Oh, it's right there. We'll do that again. Love bling. All about bling, right, Aubrey? Very true. All right, there's that one. Oh, cute. Maybe I'll do some of this red bling. So I can even cut this down like that and have it be like a window card too if I wanted to. Yeah, so love it, love it. So will we play some more with these? Oh, that's cute how you did the little thing. So I think they're really fun because all the work's done for you. Yeah, very true. So there I've got my two. Let's bring out Beth's again because hers are so cute. Okay, that's just basically using the kit right here with them and stamping. I love how it looks stamped right on there. Yeah, it stamps really well. Super easy. Yeah, just like mine was with this. So cute. So hope you've enjoyed seeing us and stamping with us. Yes, this and this kit is so fun.
