How do I earn the Class To Go and what products will you use?

  • Featured stamp sets/bundles will be announced every month in my monthly news blog post, posted on the first of every month.  Plus I'll have this post pinned as a featured post on the top of my blog in the right side tool bar.  So you can always refer back to it.  
  • Earning the Class To Go is easy-simply place an order in my Online Store!  There's three options:
  1. Earn the Class To Go Kit FREE with a $50. Includes all the supplies you'll need to complete the cards.  You will have to provide ink and stamps.  Kits will NOT come prestamped  If the featured bundle includes dies or punches you'll need those as well.  
  2. Earn the Class To Go Kit FREE with a $100 order.  Includes everything from option 1 PLUS you'll get 5 FREE cards from my card basket sent FREE.
  3. Earn the Class To Go Kit FREE with a $150 order.  Includes everything from option 2 PLUS you'll get a full embellishment in your kit!  
You can choose the option that best works for you!  Here's some additional fine print.
  • My basket of cards is full of cards from past classes, cards featured on my blog and more!  Please note that the cards will be chosen randomly and may not coordinate with the featured stamp set/bundle. Envelopes will not be included for these five cards.
  • Your order total must be at $50, $100 or $150 before tax and shipping and after rewards to earn each level.  
  • Must be a resident of the USA to participate. The blog posts and videos will be available to everyone. 
  • Each class will have specific dates earn the class-check dates above.  Classes should ship the following week. You'll receive an email when they ship.  

Are you excited for these new classes?  Me too!!! I'm so excited to bring you these new classes! 

If you haven't already, this is a great time to subscribe to my YouTube Channel.  You'll never miss one of the class videos.

NEW January Product of the Month

If you love exclusive products, you’re going to love Product of the Month, a promotion centered around a special product release every month. The Product of the Month items are specially designed to be some of the best items Stampin’ Up! has to offer that aren’t available in any of our catalogs or our Online Exclusives. Every month we’ll release a new item that is only available for purchase once per account. These items will be limited quantity and are likely to sell out quickly—once they’re sold out, they’re gone for good!

January's Product of the Month will be available starting January 6, 2026.


Stampin’ Up! Account. To participate in Product of the Month, you MUST have a Stampin’ Up! account. 

A New Product Every Month. Stampin' Up! will release a new Product of the Month item every month. You can view the newly released products on the Product of the Month page. 
Qualifying Amounts. You can purchase the Product of the Month item for only $5 when you spend $75 or more in a single order. Your cart total MUST be $75 or more at checkout to qualify. You cannot add the Product of the Month to your cart until you’ve reached the qualifying amount. If you use Stampin’ Rewards, coupons, or discount codes on your order and your cart amount falls below $75, you’ll need to add items in your cart to get the total at or above the qualifying amount again. 
Available Until Sold Out. Product of the Month products will be available until they’re sold out. Once they’re sold out, they won’t be available for purchase again. If you didn’t qualify to purchase the Product of the Month during the month it was first offered and it’s still available in the following months, you can purchase that product once you reach the qualifying amount. So, if you didn’t qualify in January but you qualify in February, you can choose to buy the January Product of the Month, provided it’s still available for purchase and you meet the qualifying amount. If you buy the January Product of the Month but still want the February Product of the Month, you’ll need to qualify again.
