Today, I thought I’d share a little behind the scenes with my product shares! Here’s what the finished ribbon & paper shares for the Holiday Catalog looked like this past September:
Each paper and ribbon is individually packaged and labeled with the colors, item number, and price for your reference. And here is what the finished product shares from the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog looked like all organized together back in June:
There’s something so satisfying having them all lined up and organized! LOL! Lots of love goes into cutting and prepping all the beautiful paper and ribbon in each new catalog. It gives me a chance to really look at each paper and ribbon closely. Here’s how all the product starts:
And here’s a look at how I divide each ribbon roll into fourths:
That’s me using the cabinet hardware as a third hand! Works like a charm!
Once all the paper and ribbon has been divided and packaged, it’s all carefully prepared to ship to you!
I hope you enjoyed this little behind the scenes look at my product shares! It’s such a great, inexpensive way to get a sampling of all of the beautiful new paper and ribbon! If you’ve participated in my product shares before, please leave a comment and let us know how you like them! I’m so grateful to have so many repeat product share participants!

Julie! You do such a wonderful job with these product shares! I am so inspired by your work as well. I think when it comes to tutorials, you do such a fabulous job. You are so very talented and very generous to share all your talents with all of us who share your love of stamping. Thank you so much for all that you do!
Happy New Year to you and your family!

I’m interested in joining! How much do you charge?
Hi Nicole! It’s $33 for just the paper, $20 for just the ribbon, or $48 for both (which also includes a free gift). Shipping is included in all prices.
Cabinet your third hand, and your kitty doesn’t bother you ? Lol
I ordered Julie’s paper share in the past…Her packaging and care taken is extraordinary..
Thank you so much, Marge!
What does product shares mean?
Hi Clairmarie! With my product shares, I split each pack of Designer Series Paper and each roll of ribbon into fourths, so that 4 people get a sampling of the paper and ribbon (or one or the other depending on what you sign up for). Instead of buying all the paper and all the ribbon, you’ll pay a fraction of the price for 1/4 of all the paper and/or all the ribbon. For example, the paper is cut to 6″ x 6″ pieces and most of the ribbons are cut into 2.5 yard pieces. Let me know if you have any other questions!
I so appreciate getting the paper and ribbons. It is a LOT of work for you. Thank you so much for making the shares available!
Thank you so much, Cheri! It’s a labor of love for sure. So happy you enjoy my shares!
You have taken so much time and care in packaging and labeling. Best share I’ve ever gotten. I really appreciate your effort. Thank you.
Thank you so much, Lou Ann! That means a lot! I truly enjoy the work that goes into them!
Thank you for the beautiful Christmas gift
My pleasure, Patty! I’m honored to have you on my team!
Thank you for sharing a peak into your craft room and the behind the scenes tour. Awesome (and a lot of work for you)!
Thank you, Jean! I really enjoy the process! I promise I will do a tour of my craft room soon!
Thank you so much, Julie, for doing this for us. I can only imagine the time and concentration to get all these packets together! The thought boggles my mind!!
This is such a ‘gift’!
Best wishes for the greatest New Year for you and your family in 2020. May it be filled with good health, peace and joy!!

Thank you, Elaine! I spend lots of quality time in my craft room prepping the shares (which I love) and I wrap the ribbon while sitting on the couch with my family! Happy New Year to you! May the new decade be full of blessings for you!
WOW ! Julie, you are the master organizer ! Great pictures !
LOVE THE CAT !! Cute !!
Thank you, Sonny! Yes, Izzy joins me for product share prep – I just wish she could help! LOL!
Thank you so much for doing this for us! Its great to be able to see and touch the products before you order a whole pkg. of something. I love having a little bit of everything too
It’s my pleasure, Robyn! Product shares are a great way to “try before you buy”! And for some, it’s all the paper or ribbon needed!
