Why should you consider joining Stampin' Up!?

There are so many benefits to joining Stampin’ Up! and I would love to have you on my team.  It’s truly the best value and even better this month.  You can choose $155 worth of product for only $99 and get free shipping.  Plus a past Paper Pumpkin kit, plus catalogs, plus business supplies (you can pass on to me or another team member if you don’t need them!) You get the picture!

​The extra product is only available through the month of October. Sign up between October 1-31 to take advantage. 

Here are some of the other top reasons I encourage you to join:
  1. You can receive/earn a 20%-25% discount on all your orders/income on sales (this includes your own Paper Pumpkin subscription). 
  2. You do not have to sell anything.  MANY demonstrators join simple for the discount and this is absolutely fine.  You can purchase for yourself only.  These demonstrators are often referred to as “hobby demonstrators”.  In fact, nearly all my current team members are hobby demonstrators.
  3. To stay active you must have $300 in sales every quarter. If you do not meet this, you have one month to make it up or you are dropped.  There are NO penalties to dropping.  You also have extra time when you first join.  You have the current quarter as well as the next full quarter for your first $300.
  4. You get access to the catalogs early including options to order product early! A copy of each catalog is mailed to you at no cost.
  5. As a team perk I offer a discount on my catalog product shares.
  6. Access to a private Facebook group for my team—I keep you up to date on what is going on and we meet (some in person, some virtual) most months for a fun crafting time. These are always completely optional.
  7. I also share PDFs of projects that I create for events and classes with my team in our private group. I want to share and inspire you as much as I can! If you choose to hold events you are more than welcome to use these projects.  
  8. Stampin’ Up! events and trainings. Our next one will be in March in Raleigh.  There can be both regional one or two day events as well as a larger multi day convention.
  9. Me! I am always here if you have questions or if you want to build a business. I am happy to offer encouragement and goal setting as well as share class ideas.  I will never pressure you to sell or to participate in any team activities.  That is all up to you!
  10. If you want to build a business there are many opportunities to earn more income and free product as well. 

Ask me questions or go here to learn more and sign up.  I've love to have you join me.

Wildly Flowering Suite

9/19/2024

0 Comments

 
The Wildly Flowering suite in the 24-25 Stampin' Up! Annual ​Catalog is a beautiful suite that is perfect for so many occasions.  I love the muted colors in the papers.  Most of the cards I've made so far are along the lines of "thinking of you" cards.  The messages in the stamp set are sweet. 

For this first card the layout is a simple one but it packs a punch if you ask me.  The blue background helps the flowers to stand out. I fussy cut around the sentiment to give it some dimension.

The new Dashing Designs embossing folder is such a cool background. Don't overlook it. 

I'm also a little obsessed with the Greetings of the Season Dies.  They are an online exclusive and so useful.  This stamp comes from the Everyday Greetings stamp set that is also an online exclusive.

Quick and Easy Card Layout

9/11/2024

My upline, Kathy Alt, shared this fun layout with me during our new catalog card swap.  I have to admit I have been a little obsessed!  It's so great for not only making three cards at once but it's a great way to show off multiple Designer Series Paper patterns at a time. Measurements at the bottom. 

​For the first card I created I used the Nest of Winter paper which I adore.  All the patterns are great and the birds are beautiful.  You can even die cut some of the images.

For the second one I used the pretty Country Lace paper for a soft look.  I always need birthday cards so I made a few since the best thing about this design is you can make three at once!

Do not overlook the Season of Elegance paper in the new mini catalog.  It's beautiful. The stamp is from the Winterly Tree Tops stamp set that is part of the Nests of Winter suite.

Stampin' Up! Reindeer Days Suite

9/5/2024

The new Stampin' Up! Holiday Mini catalog launched yesterday and there is so much wonderful new product to show off! Have you checked out the catalog?  You can download a digital copy on the SU! site or shop the website. If you need your own copy contact me. 

One of my favorite suites from this catalog is the Reindeer Days products which includes the Reindeer Fun bundle. As soon as I saw it I knew it needed to be the focus for a suite class.  I've been creating with it so much! Check out all these fun projects.  

The first thing I made was a wall hanging piece.  This will be a part of my suite class and I love how it turned out. I found the cut little hanging boxes at Michaels.  The adorable deer can be die cut from the coordinating paper.

The colors are so bright and fun.  I wanted Real Red ribbon to coordinate so I created my own with the Blends.  I love that we can color white ribbon into any color we need.

The sweet branched die cut is so perfect for a focal point on your card.  I may or may not have spent a lot of time fussy cutting deer!

This card used so many supplies from the suite. I embossed the Designer Series Paper with the new Plaid embossing folder.  This is one of the big ones! You can fit a full 1/2 sheet of card stock in at one time. I also stamped the cute reindeer and used my Blends to give it some color. It's topped off with some twine and peppermint embellishments.

It's September! Where does the time go? Time for another Monday Montage Blog Hop. 

I am so excited for the new Stampin' Up! Holiday Mini Catalog coming out on Wednesday. Although there is lots of holiday fun in the catalog there are also some great fall friendly options.

The Regal Flora and Regal Winter Suite are great and offer so many options! I decided to switch up the colors from the beautiful papers featured in the catalog and used Berry Burst, Old Olive and Bubble Bath.
