KIts Collections 2026 Case Inserts

Image
 This is a listing of the 2026 case inserts for the Stampin' Up!© Kits Collection.  The case inserts fit the Stampin' Up!© DVD type cases, "Clear Mount Stamp Cases" #119105.  Primarily I just do the card kit case inserts, since they are the ones that have stamps.  I also store extra pieces in the cases.  Click here to purchase Previously all of our stamps came in these DVD cases, which is how I store all my stamps but since Stampin' Up!© has gone to an envelope type case for their stamps & dies, I'm not sure how long they will have these available.  I have found two sources for cases besides Stampin' Up!©, here are the links:  Walmart  and  CheckOutStore   I have also been making case inserts for my stamps that come in envelopes, for my personal use.

2026 Mini Calendar Designs

For the last 15 years I have been making these Mini CD Jewel case calendars.  These are the designs for this year.   For me coming up with designs are the most difficult part.  Sometimes ideas come to me in the middle of the night and everything goes smoothly, then sometimes it takes me forever to come up with a design.  This year I had the December design in my head before I even started January.                         For the first time I kept track of the amount of time and the supply costs. I always knew that if I charged my customers the labor involved no on would want to purchase my calendars, even if I used minimum wage as the labor cost.  Just the coloring along for October took me 8 hours.  Uffda!!! I'd love to hear which are your favorites.  I also have m...

 Well, hard to believe summer is in it's last month, at least here in Minnesota.  It's this time of year I start preparing to make my Mini CD Easel Calendars.  Right now I'm taking preorders for my finished calendars.  I started making these about 10 years ago.  I stumbled across them, when I was buying some stamps and other stamping supplies from someone off of Craigslist,  She had one of these setting out, and while she was gathering my things, I took a look at it, fell in love with it and asked her about it. And as they say, the rest is history. This calendar is one of my favorite January designs.  I'm sadden that I sold this cute snowman a few years ago. I will take you through my process, in case you are interested in making these for yourself or are interested in ordering a premade one. Every month has a different design and I try not to duplicate the months from one year to the next, but this year I might do a year of my favorite designs from th...
