Team Swaps

When Stampin' Up! comes out with a new catalog, as a team, we like to have a team swap.

Here are the cards that everyone made...

Dawn combined the SILLY SAFARI stamp set with the NOTES & TOTES bundle - I absolutely LOVE IT!!

Jeanne made this gorgeous multi-layered birthday card using the greeting from UNBOUNDED LOVE and  the EXTRAORDINARY FLORA WASHI TAPE. The amazing banner layers come from the brand new PARTY BANNERS DIES. So very elegant!!

Anna used the single stamp called THANKING YOU. She combined it with Strawberry Slush and Timid Tiger  - 2 of our new In-Colors.

This next card was made by Bonnie. Bonnie got the TURTLE-Y CUTE stamp set when we went to NC for the OnStage event. Gotta love the painted toe nails of the turtles!!

Inez made what is called a mono-chromatic card, and the FRAMED SCENES Stamp set.

Rochelle couldn't make it to the meeting, but she still participated in the swap.

She used the BEAUTIFUL GALLERY 6x6 DSP and a fun shutter-look technique. 

Chris made our second NOTES & TOTES card. Look how colorful her beach bag is using the FLORAL IMPRESSIONS DSP, and a base of Timid Tiger. LOVE! LOVE!!

Have you noticed how many of our swaps were made using the Timid Tiger card stock? I think it is the prettiest Orange color we have had.

This was Debbie's card. I'm anxious to get my own copy of this stamp set called ALONG THESE LINES. This stamp set also has a cute puppy, bike, dolphin, whale, and birthday cake. It also has a rose, and the heart that you see on Debbie's card.

This next card was Janell's card - she also used the EXTRAORDINARY FLORA Washi Tape & the circle from SPOTLIGHT ON NATURE.

Carla made this card using the COUNTRY FLOWERS stamp set, the SPOTLIGHT ON NATURE die and the DOTTED CIRCLES Embossing folder.

The last card to share is the one that I made

I love this technique and have used it many times. The stamp set that I used is called GALLERY BLOOMS. The bundle comes with the frame that I used. I also used the BEAUTIFUL GALLERY 6x6 DSP. My colors are Petal Pink and Secret Sea.

  Want in on a good deal from me?
  When I went to North Carolina in March, where I (plus 3 of my team members) attended the OnStage yearly Stampin' Up! event, I was encouraged and challenged all at the same time because we learned about some changes that Stampin' Up! is making. 

  
  

  The challenge that I came away with for myself is to reach my $300,000 in sales by the end of September. 

  If I do I will get to walk the stage and be recognized for this accomplishment at the 2026 OnStage event in Long Beach, CA (not that I really like walking the stage, but it really is an accomplishment)

  
  

  What does this mean for you, and why am I telling you this?

  I will need to increase my sales each month and that is where you come in

  I am asking you to place your orders with me, and in return I will offer you the listed price of all products. 

  
  

  If you place your order (after April 15th) online you will start receiving a 10% reward on all orders $20 or more, that you can claim on your next order (this all starts April 15th) - therefore, I cannot offer the catalog price. BUT... if you order with me directly I am able to offer you this discount. (I have no control over the online orders) 

  
  

  BUT... I will reward your order according to the amount you order with a product that I will ship to you. (an embellishment, ribbon, etc.) I cannot list what it will be because of the fact that items go on the unorderable list, etc.

  
  

  For example... If you place an online order of $75.00 I will send you a product valued at $7.50

  
  

  If you order directly from me I can issue you the discount immediately.

  
  

  ALL ORDERS will help me achieve this goal

  
  

  This is how the new rewards program will work:

  You can accumulate your rewards for a full 12 months and then you will have some extra "cash" to buy more product!!

  Whatever rewards you earn on your purchase can also be redeemed on your next order, you do not need to accumulate!

  
  

  I still ask that you will please choose me as your Stampin' Up! demonstrator as this will still help out my small business

  
  

  Thank you so very much! 

  
  
  FOR EVERY ORDER PLACED IN JUNE, I WILL PUT YOUR NAME INTO A DRAWING AND THE WINNER WILL RECEIVE THE SIMPLY SAID STAMP SET & A PACKAGE OF BASIC GRAY & SMOKY SLATE PEARLS

  

  
  
  
                                           A TOTAL OF $24.50 VALUE
