JANUARY IN THE RUBBER ROOM!

Get ready to start the new year with Rubber Room fun! I hope you will plan some time to relax and enjoy some card making in the Rubber Room with me in 2026.

I am going to start the year off on January 4th with a new Embracing the Exclusives class, which will feature lots of Online Exclusives (which can only be found online).

Then comes the Rubber Room monthly class, which will focus on the Wooly Friends Bundle from the new January-April Mini Catalog.

After that, we'll be doing a fun Mystery Card Zoom for all RRR team members.

If you are a Paper Pumpkin subscriber, I hope you will join the new monthly Paper Pumpkin Party Zoom. Which is an effort to stop the PPs from stacking up AND enjoy crafting with friends at the same time.

We'll end the month with the Rubber Room Winter Retreat, which is an all-day event including lunch, snacks, a product goody bag, prize patrols, door prizes, crafting with items from the new mini catalog, table gifts and there's even going to be a raffle.

You can see complete class/event details on my website: RubberRoom.Stampinup.net

NEW YEAR--NEW RUBBER ROOM CLASSES/EVENTS!

The new year is fast approaching, and that means it's time to get my 2026 Rubber Room skeleton calendar together.

The new year will bring some changes to the Rubber Room class/event offerings. There will be some new things, some tried and true things and some just perfect for you things! As always, you can find detailed information on my blog, using the "class schedule" tab at the top. I will share the link in the comments below.

EMBRACING THE EXCLUSIVES—This is a brand-new class for 2026 that embraces Online Exclusives. We will make 3 cards, each focusing on different Online Exclusive products. Cost of the class is $20 and it includes all the prepped materials to make three cards, with envelopes. You can add $5 for shipping and have the class delivered to your door. This class is on January 4th from 11-1 or 6-8. After that, class is scheduled for the first Friday in March, May, July, September and November. You can pick the morning or evening class.

RUBBER ROOM MONTHLY CLASS—This class happens monthly in the Rubber Room on the Second Friday of each month. You can attend class from 11-1 or 6-8. We will focus on one stamp set, suite, or bundle and make four cards. Cost of the class is $15. You can BOOST your class and make 8 cards (2 each of all four designs) for $23. You can also purchase this class to go for an additional $5 for mailing.

RUBBER ROOM RAMBLER MYSTERY CARD ZOOM—This is a new 2026 event offering for our Rubber Room Rambler team members. On the second Monday of January, March, May, July, September and November team members will meet on Zoom at 7:00 p.m. to assemble Mystery Cards, craft and socialize together.

CHRIS’S CRAFT CLUB—Is my brand new monthly craft club, delivered right to your door. We will meet once a month in a private FaceBook Group for crafting fun! Cost of the club is $50 per month, and it is a subscription club. You will receive $25-$30 in product each month, along with cut and prepped materials to make 6 cards (2 each of three designs), and envelopes. All class materials will be mailed right to your door. On the last Tuesday of each month, we will get together at 7:00 p.m. in our exclusive FaceBook Group and put our cards together. If you can’t make it to the Live, you can catch the replay. BONUS we can share tips, tricks, creations, etc… in our exclusive group any time!

PAPER PUMPKIN PARTY—The Triple P is back in 2026. If you are a Paper Pumpkin subscriber, you are invited to stop collecting those PPs and join us on the fourth Thursday of each month at 10:00 a.m. via Zoom to assemble your kits, make alternatives or work on another project as we socialize and share our paper-crafting passion with one another.

FUN FOLD FRENZY—This was a very popular class in 2025, and I’m bringing it back in 2026. This class will meet on the third Monday of February, April, June, August, October and December from 11-1 or 6-8. We will take one fun fold card pattern and make three different cards with it. Each card will feature a different set of products. If you can’t join us in the Rubber Room for this event, I am happy to mail a kit right to your door for an additional $7 in mailing costs.

RUBBER ROOM RAMBLER COME AND PLAY DAY—This is one of my favorite ways to spoil our Rubber Room Rambler team and to get to know them all better. On the third Saturday of February, April, June, August, October and December team members gather their consumables and meet me in the Rubber Room for an afternoon of fun. You can use all my dies, stamps, and embossing folders, and you bring your own cardstock, ink pads, markers/blends, clear die cut plates, and basic stamping kit. I also have Kits for sale.

**In addition to these classes/events I will be doing quarterly events focused on the new Annual Catalog, as well as mini catalog offerings. PLUS there will be fun BINGO events, GAME NIGHTS, etc… throughout 2026**

FIRST CLASS OF 2026 IS ALMOST HERE!

The first Rubber Room class of 2026 will soon be here AND it is a totally new class called Embrace the Exclusives. Stampin' Up! is providing us with new Online Exclusives (OE) every-other month, and they are amazing stamp sets, suites and bundles, but they aren't included in any printed materials. I think they aren't getting all the attention they need. SOOOO, every-other month I will have a class embracing and celebrating them.

Class is Sunday, January 4th, 2026 from 11:00 - 1:00 or 6-8 p.m. In this class we will be making three cards and each card will focus on different OE products. Cost of the class is $20 and includes prepped materials to make all three cards, along with envelopes.

You can order this class To Go for an additional $5 mailing fee.

Cost of the class is due with registration. When you RSVP, please let me know if you want the morning or evening class, or if you need the To Go class.
