Tulip season will be here before we know it, and I'm prepared! It is hard to find a more elegant and hopeful flower than tulips. I was delighted to see a brand new tulip stamp set and matching punch bundle in the Spring 2020 Mini Catalog from Stampin' Up! It's a lovely excuse to jump over and play with the bright, bold yellows, reds and purples that lift our hearts every time spring shows up.

Timeless Tulips is a well-designed set with plenty of leaf and flower options, but also an impressive array of sayings, including two sentiments that are perfect for sympathy cards. Along with the coordinating punch, and bundled for 10% off, it's my choice for the February featured stamp set!

Scrappy mat technique uses up tons of odds and ends

One of the projects in this month's Class of the Month (January 2020) is this fun scrappy mat card. It's perfect for the guitar image, bold and colorful--but my favorite part is that it uses up tons of little scraps! I am all about using up scraps (see this entire blog category.)

Last chance to get Healing Hugs with the December Class of the Month!

LAST CHANCE to participate in the December 2019 Class of the Month! The deadline to play each month is the 28th.

I wanted to take a moment to say thank you to everyone who has participated in Class of the Month over the past few years. December is our third anniversary! I have heartily enjoyed creating the classes for you each month and love hearing about how useful they are for you. I continue to be amazed at the versatility of just plain stamps, paper and ink. Thank you for supporting Song of My Heart by being such loyal fans!!  I appreciate you!

Song of My Heart's online rewards club for December 2019 features the Healing Hugs stamp set. It's a beautifully versatile get well set, with great sayings and useful images that pair perfectly to make cards for all your well wishes.

Your friends are going to think you are the most thoughtful person on the planet when they get a handmade "speedy recovery" card from you!

My classes are designed to teach you at least one thing you didn't know per project, no matter what level you're at as a crafter. Even newbies to stamping can create the fun techniques with my simple, step-by-step instructions! And all you have to do to join is place a $35 order with the monthly code (December 2019 code is 4RGUTCGZ) at http://bit.ly/shopwithLyssa

SNEEKY PEEKIES: I can't wait to show you January's projects!! It is a showcase of the brand new Music From The Heart stamp set (page 57 of the new spring mini catalog). The stamp set and the class will be available on opening day of the new mini catalog, January 3rd, 2020. Woo hoo!!!

Will you be getting this card from me? Healing Hugs

I had to clear a space in the Christmas clutter on my desk to make a batch of thank you cards this week. It was a nice break from all the red and green. Since they were for my Class of the Month Club members, they needed to use the Healing Hugs stamp set, which is our featured set for the month of December 2019. But I wasn't feeling super rosy, so I decided to see if I could make their thank you cards with just one of the leaf stamps that are included in the set.

My spring mini catalog preorder is here (!!!) and taunting me since I have no time to play, so I snuck in the box and grabbed out a new bundle I am really excited for. It's called So Sentimental and it's ALL greetings (cute ones!) and dies to match. It's going to be so fun to have some different shapes besides the usual ovals and rectangles to play with! The stitching just adds so much texture, too.

Can't wait to have more time to get acquainted with this bundle and the rest of the contents of that lovely preorder box the minute the holiday hoopla dies down around here!

What would YOU play with first if you could order anything you wanted out of the catalog? Join my team and get your new catalog goodies a whole month before they're available to regular stampers. You would not believe how fun and exciting it is when they let 50,000+ Stampin' Up demonstrators loose on a new catalog. Some people stay up all night to order. And the samples start appearing in about 48 hours. It's a riot!

And, between you and me and the tree, there's a big sign-up special starting January 3rd--let's chat! Lyssa@songofmyheartstampers.com

Learn to make these Healing Hugs for your friends!

I love this vibrant, non-traditional rose card! The white embossing on the Poppy Parade red circle just really pops!

Copy everything exactly, or branch out and swap in different colors or cuts to make it your own!

All you have to do to join my club is SHOP! Crazy, huh? Shop with the code before the 28th of the month, and I'll automatically send your project files, thank you card and sampler of the month.

Will you be getting this card from me? Beautiful Friendship

Will you be getting this card from me? I made a bunch of these beauties for my Class of the Month Club participants in November. When they choose to play along for the month, they always get a handstamped "Lyssa original" in the mail using the featured set of the month, along with their free samples. They love getting happy mail!

Since the featured set this month is Beautiful Friendship, I designed a card with a spray of Grapefruit Grove peach roses, accented in Terracotta Tile dusky red, with pale Mint Macaron green leaves. It is honestly hard to make a bad card with this stamp set! The images are just beautifully drawn and make you feel like an artist as it all pulls together.

This month the product sample included in their thank you card is a Christmas ribbon share! They will have fun trying out several different styles and widths of ribbon to embellish their projects. I love spoiling my online clubbers!

Join my online rewards club and take your skills up a notch! Class of the Month Club

I'm so excited to share my online adventure with you--the Class of the Month Club! It's the most flexible online club option out there.

I'm so SURE you're going to love it, that I'm not even requiring a commitment to "lock you in."

Here's how it works!

What Does Lyssa Prepare Each Month for COTM Club Members?

• I choose a stamp set each month and design 4 beautiful cards with it. They will range from easy to intermediate, with at least one advanced fancy fold or technique every month. There will also be 2-3 bonus designs, giving you even more ideas for that set!
• I'll create a 6-8 page PDF document with full-color photos, cutting measurements and step-by-step instructions, along with lots of tips for all four of the cards. Any necessary templates and cutting guides will be included.
• I'll "sneak peek" a couple of the projects, so you can decide if you're going to participate for the month. No surprises!

What Do COTM Club Members Have to Do Each Month?

• You place your order that month (any products you want) on my Shop with Lyssa site, using the club code. This lets me know you want to be in Class of the Month Club and get the perks and points!
• The club code will be published on the 1st unless otherwise announced, and your order with the code must be placed by the 28th of the month. You'll be able to see what's on sale for the month and adjust your personal order to get what YOU want to add to your tools and supplies.
• Your order will come straight to you--no waiting for the hostess to close, or trying to schedule pickups.

What's the Cost for COTM Club Each Month?

• Your Stampin' Up order will need to be at least $35 for the month to count for club, before shipping and taxes.
• Class of the Month Club is a fantastic way to stick to a crafting budget and still get lots of bang for the buck! I'm on a budget, too, so I know what it's like to want both supplies AND ideas--and have to choose between them. With COTM Club, there's no having to choose! Get BOTH every time you participate, as often as YOU are able to participate.

What Happens After Your COTM Club Order Each Month?

• The club PDF file will be e-mailed to you within 48 hours after your order. Just print it out and start creating! Your friends and family won't know what's gotten into you. The PDF will go to the email address you used when you ordered unless you tell me otherwise.
• I'm completely confident you'll fall in love the full-color photos, measurements, step-by-step instructions, design hints and practical tips that you'll be receiving every month for COTM Club.
• Start a binder for the amazing files you'll be getting each month, and you'll soon have an envious collection of tried-and-true inspiration right at your fingertips. Your skills will grow with each additional month as you play along.
• Your Stampin' Up order will come straight to you--no waiting extra days for delivery.

What Are Your COTM Club Rewards?

This is the FUN PART! Every time you participate in Class of the Month Club, you get a point. When you get five points, you get a $30 shopping spree--and I'll pay the shipping! This club is NOT a commitment for a certain time period--you participate at YOUR convenience! Play along as your budget allows, and whenever you've been able to take part five times, reward yourself with something fun and FREE.

Every participant also gets their own main catalog and appropriate seasonal publications, by request. And everyone who places a Class of the Month Club order will get a Free Product Sample of the Month inside a handmade thank-you card in the mail. The surprise sample could be ribbon... embellishments... papers... you never know! You will really enjoy getting an extra little goodie to use on a couple of projects of your own. Try it out--and if you like it, put it on your club order next month!

I'm so excited for Class of the Month Club each month!!!

I can't wait to share the next set of cards with you!  Will you be participating?

Maybe you'll wait for the sneak peek of the featured stamp set and decide?

I can't wait for you to become a Class of the Month Club Member... so I can SPOIL you rotten! Hope to see YOUR name pop up on the list next month. Email me anytime! Lyssa@songofmyheartstampers.com

Learn to make these adorable snow bunny cards for your friends!

Is not this bunny the most adorable thing ever?? I can't quit making bunny cards! Mostly I've been making your garden-variety gray rabbit, but this time I decided to make a snow rabbit and I love how it turned out. The secret is the Chalk Marker's realistic brush strokes. It looks amazing on colored cardstocks like the Crumb Cake I used above.

This card is one of three bonus projects in this month's Class of the Month featuring the Nature's Beauty stamp set. I'd love to send you the class files for free when you use the code U9DHHPVU and shop in my online Stampin' Up store! Complete details here.

One last thing to note: Nature's Beauty is our "Make A Difference" stamp set, so $3 from every one purchased will go to mental health organizations in each of the countries that Stampin' Up serves. Isn't that awesome? As someone who has an anxiety disorder, and regularly deals with anxiety with my special teens, I so appreciate their donation and any attention drawn to this cause. I know it affects many of your loved ones, too. Together, we make a difference!
