Kintsugi Inspirations

One of the new bundles/suites includes INSPIRED IMPERFECTION.

Not only is that designer paper gorgeous with veins of gold foiling, the stamp set alone is wonderful!

Here are a couple cards that I made with this suite.

This card will be used for my Come Stamp With Me Tuesday class and I am putting out a variety of stamps so that they can choose what fits their need the best.

I LOVE the JOINED TOGETHER Embossing Folder that comes in the suite, but I also combined it with the BEAUTIFUL MOTIFS DIES for the wild flowers in the vase.

Colors are Balmy Blue and Night of Navy.

This card was inspired by Mrs. B's Paper Blessings For busy Bees (on Pinterest)

Card #2 uses one of my favorite prints in the pack of 12x12 DSP.

I was inspired by Patty Bennett o how to shade the vases, but I changed up so much on this card it truly is my own.

Other products used: Gold Foil, Textured Notes Dies, Unbounded Love Stamp Set.

Now as a tip to get the two colors on the flower stamp: I inked up the Pretty In Pink flower, but then used a Stampin' Write Marker in Lost Lagoon to color in the stem and leaves. Just a quick moist "huff" and then stamp it onto your Basic white card stock. Thankfully there is a die to cut out all of these pieces, including the flower.

  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 JULY, I WILL PUT YOUR NAME INTO A DRAWING AND THE WINNER WILL RECEIVE THE CELEBRATORY SIPS  BUNDLE A $41.25 VALUE

                                      

  

  I did not include the beautiful 12x12 Designer Paper, but you may gladly purchase it if you want.
