On Friday, I hosted my popular Mini Catalogue Launch Party to celebrate the release of the September–December 2025 Mini Catalogue and the latest Online Exclusives.  It was such a fun-filled day with hands-on creativity, inspiring displays to explore, and plenty of games to keep the excitement going.

And of course, a party wouldn’t be complete without prizes!  I gave away these fun prize packs…

Each one included 6" x 6" samples of the beautiful Peaceful Garden Designer Series Paper and some Hues of Blue Flowers, all tied together with the stunning Misty Moonlight & Silver Edged 1/2" Ribbon—fabulous!

But this was the prize everyone had their eye on…

Everyone who RSVP’d, attended, or placed an order at the Launch Party had their name entered into a draw—up to three chances to win!  The coveted prize included the Traditions of Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper and Traditional Labels stamp set, finished with a long length of Real Red 1/2" Shiny Ribbon.  It was so much fun to give this away!

And even if you didn’t win a prize, everyone received a handmade gift from me.  These personalised clipboards are such a fun way to combine creativity with something practical—and they make lovely gifts too . I decorated them using the North Pole Delivery Specialty Designer Series Paper.

Stamps: Gathering Moments (cling: 165970).  Ink: Early Espresso (147114).  Card/Paper: North Pole Delivery 12" x 12" Specialty Designer Series Paper (195837), Very Vanilla (166785).   Accessories: Dear Dots (165848), Real Red 1/2" Shiny Ribbon (165876).  Tools: Happy Labels Pick A Punch (160693), Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue (110755), Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (144108).

I started with two 15 cm x 2.5 cm (6" x 1") strips of Pool Party patterned paper and a 15 cm x 15 cm (6" x 6") square featuring postcard and letter images.  The pieces were adhered with Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue to cover the top, bottom, and centre of the clipboard.

I wanted to add a thoughtful sentiment, so I reached for the Gathering Moments stamp set and stamped “Thankful for you” in Early Espresso ink on a strip of Very Vanilla cardstock.  After trimming the ends with the Happy Labels Pick A Punch, I added it to the clipboard with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Did you know the North Pole Delivery Designer Series Paper includes two sheets of pre-cut images that coordinate perfectly with the rest of the pack?

North Pole Delivery 12" x 12" Specialty Designer Series Paper (164591) - $35.00
12 sheets of patterned paper: 2 each of 5 double-sided designs, 2 each of 1 single-sided sheet of die cuts

I used some of these die-cut images and and the pretty Dear Dots to embellish the clipboards and finished it with a beautiful Real Red 1/2" Shiny Ribbon bow.
