BIG FUN STARTS TOMORROW!

I NEED more sales to earn the Stampin' Up! Costa Rica incentive trip, so I am pulling out the Rubber Room Mystery Boxes.

If you have received a Rubber Room Mystery Box in the past, you know they are amazing and full of tons of great stamping stuff. All Rubber Room Mystery Box items are from my stash, but have not been used!

When you place a qualifying order between August 16 and August 31, you will receive a Rubber Room Mystery Box.

Place a minimum $50 order, and receive a Mystery Box valued at a minimum of $20 in product.

Place a minimum $75 order, and receive a Mystery Box valued at a minimum of $45 in product.

Place a minimum $100 order, and receive a Mystery Box valued at a minimum of $70 in product.

Every order over $150, will receive product of equal value in their Mystery Box (i.e. $150 order, gets $150 in product; $175 order, gets $175 in product...)

AND remember, every order you place over $20 you receive Stampin' Rewards.

WELCOME TO AUGUST IN THE RUBBER ROOM!

I am really, really close to earning the Stampin' Up! Incentive trip to Costa Rica, and this year we are making it a family trip. I love vacationing with my brothers and their wives, and am excited to have this opportunity. I only need 6,058 more points to earn the trip, and I have until the end of September to make it happen.

Since I will be gone for 10 days in September, I have packed August with lots and lots of wonderful classes and events that I know you are going to love. Here's a "quick-reference" look at classes/events in August in the Rubber Room that you won't want to miss! Be sure to check out full class/event descriptions on my blog (rubberroomramblings.com) or my website (rubberroom.stampinup.net)

Friday, August 14, 2026 is the Rubber Room monthly class. This class can be personalized to fit your crafting style and your busy schedule. You pick whether you want to come in the morning or evening, and you can even decide whether you want to make 4 cards, or double up and make 8 cards (2 each of 4 designs). Be sure to RSVP by August 10, if you want to join us!

Monday, August 17, 2026 is the Rubber Room Fun Fold Frenzy class, and this month I have a great fun fold to share. Be sure to RSVP by August 12th, if you can join the fun!

I will be hosting my second PreOrder Product Party on August 20th, and this is where my September-December Catalog PreOrder gets to shine. You will get a chance to not only see what I've ordered, but craft with some of it. I will even have some samples for you to enjoy too! AND as a "bonus", event attendees will also be able to shop the Rubber Room BOGO FREE sale early! RSVP date is August 10th.

The annual Rubber Room BOGO FREE sale days are August 21st and 22nd, and in addition to my retired stash, I will have Kits and Paper Pumpkins available to purchase. This is a great way for you to enjoy FREE Stampin' Up! products. Be sure to put this date on your calendar and make arrangements to stop by and treat yourself to some big savings!

I will be doing Rubber Room September Class in the Mail classes Live (on this page) on Tuesday, August 25th and Friday, August 28th, so be on the lookout. This month I will be featuring some fun Fall cards.

On Wednesday, August 26th the Rubber Room will be filled with excitement and fun as we make Creativity Now Alternative cards/projects. This is my first Creativity Now Alternative event, and I can't wait to share it with you. Please remember to RSVP by August 20th.

On Thursday, August 27th at 10:00 a.m. is our monthly Paper Pumpkin Party via Zoom. I love having this time set aside each month to craft with you. Even if you don't have a Paper Pumpkin, I encourage you to bring whatever you are working on and join us on the Zoom. After all, it's always more fun to craft with friends!
