Guest Stampers, Debbie and Inez

Our First Guest Stamper for today is Debbie

Debbie is a master at crochet. she made these adorable crocheted chicks coasters, but her share is in how she packaged it using Stampin' Up! paper, stamps and dies. Absolutely Adorable!! Our 4 year old grandson, Liam was here during our team meeting and as he was drinking his juice he said "I need a coaster" so Debbie so lovingly and generously let him choose a coaster to take home.

This was a great way to elevate her packaging by using our extra large embossing folders.

Super, Super, cute!!

Our Second Guest Stamper For Today Is... Inez 

A darling graduation card using Bird's Eye View

I love this card using UNDER THE MOON and some amazing sponging with the Blender Brushes

What a great way to use up some of your designer paper scraps! Super pretty, and adding the butterfly is perfect! Inez does a great job preparing for her classes.

Want in on a good deal from me?

I recently returned from North Carolina where I (plus 3 of my team members) attended the OnStage yearly Stampin' Up! event.

It was encouraging and challenging all at the same time

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 MAY, I WILL PUT YOUR NAME INTO A DRAWING AND THE WINNER WILL RECEIVE THE LOVELIEST TREE BUNDLE

Right now the only current catalog is the Annual Catalog

HOWEVER...you can shop online for MANY other products that are not found in the printed copy.

EXAMPLES to check out...

*the scrapbooking options

*the online exclusives (I find myself liking these better that what I see in the catalog so don't miss out because you are afraid to shop on line)

*the LAST CHANCE List

*the Kits Collection

I you are placing your order online I cannot offer the instant income. You will be earning the 10% in rewards from Stampin' Up!

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. When you do it this way, you do not collect the rewards from Stampin' Up!, but you do get the full refund reward from me.

Cards In The Mail to Me

Today I am sharing some hand stamped cards that we received in the mail.

Card #1 is from a demonstrator friend, Donne. Donne not only is a demonstrator friend, she also is a part of our small group at church. When she first moved to our area to help care for her mom, she signed up under the same demonstrator as me so we were on the same team until our leader dropped out of Stampin' Up! (only to rejoin a couple years later with someone else)

Donne sent a thank you for the gift we gave at Christmas

Another Christmas card that arrived much later than Christmas - but who cares, right?? It's super cute and from a gal on my team, Marlane.

Getting some thank you cards for our retreat - It really was a big success and we already have ladies telling us to sign them up for next year. This makes us so very thankful!!

From Marcia:

And from Betty

This card is from Bonnie - a thank you for the retreat

she even had a helper in her card creating - meet Sadie

This next card is from Lynda

Such a pretty card using the Mixed Florals Bundle  -  I love her color scheme.

This next card is from Inez who was one of my partners in coordinating the Mid-Winter Retreat.

She is such a dear friend and is amazing to work with. Here she's even thanking me for a successful retreat and the time we had in planning together.

This is a very cool, fun fold card. She used the FROSTED FOREST Bundle for her card.

These two cards were made by Bonnie - she made the first one for our team challenge and the second one for her new recruit. The first one on my team to add a new team member to the Creative Crew. She is using the OCEAN FRIENDS suite 

This next card comes from my up-up line, Jill Olsen who is congratulating me on being in the top 30 sales for the month of December - who knew!! She used the Wildflower Birthday DSP

This darling calendar card comes from Susan in my downline. She was sending a thank you for the gifts I sent her for Christmas and for her birthday.

Carla made this cute thank you card for the retreat we held in January. Just love those little Bees from the BEE MY VALENTINE bundle.

Card Class

My sister set up a card class for me while we are in Arizona.

She had 6 lovely ladies that wanted to join in the fun of making 5 cards each.

I had several cards prepped for my Tuesday classes so I pulled out some of those to take with, hoping to have a nice variety without having to take too much with me

With card #1 they will get a taste of using some Stampin' Blends to color in the images from BIRDS EYE VIEW.

Card #2 is blank, but I am bringing a few stamp sets for them to use if they want to have a sentiment for the inside. I had the flowers pre-cut from the DELIGHTFUL FLORAL Designer Paper.

Card #3 Since Valentine's Day is the next holiday and the BEE MINE SUITE is going to be in the January to April Mini Catalog, I thought it would be fun to introduce this suite to them.

Card #4 COUNTRYSIDE CORNERS Dies, COURAGE & FAITH Stamp Set and COUNTRYSIDE INN Designer Paper make this card a super easy card, but also a fun fold for them to learn.

Card #5 MEANDERING MEADOWS Designer Paper also makes, making cards super simple. Once again I used COURAGE & FAITH Stamp Set, but of course they will have a choice from the optional sets I bring.

Here are a couple pictures of the ladies who joined in on the fun

Karen, the lovely lady in white is an amazing artist. check out her beautiful watercolor pictures that she will be turning into cards

The detail on these cards are amazing!

She even gifted me this one

Birds Eye View

The stamp set that I am featuring today is called BIRDS EYE VIEW. I think that all of these little birds are so very cute, and I really love the added touch of the glasses.

I cased this card from my friend, Julie Gilson from here You Tube Live on 9-5-23

Product used: 

Stamp Set: Birds Eye View

Card Stock: Azure Afternoon (a new color to our brights collection), Lemon Lime Twist (a returning in-color now in our color families line up), Basic White.

Ink: Azure Afternoon, Lemon Lolly (new color to our Subtles collection), Lemon Lime Twist, Mementoo Black.

Tools: Deckled Circles, Layering Circles (retired), Stitched Shapes (second largest circle), Exposed Brick Embossing Folder

Other: Azure Afternoon Sheer Ribbon (from the Sheer Ribbon Combo Pack)

This is called a Book Binding Card

 

Another Birds Eye View card that the ladies made at a Tuesday class. This card would be so perfect for my sister that reads so many books. (I am not a book reader, I'm a card maker - who has time for books?)

The designer paper used here is from the EARTHEN ELEGANCE Designer Paper.

The difference between these two cards (except for the obvious), is that on card #1 I fussy cut the book stack and the cute little bird. On card #2 the books were stamped directly onto the card stock and then little bird was also stamped directly stamped on top of the books.

Fun Stampin' Blends colors: 

Wild Wheat, Gray Granite, Shaded Spruce

The card base is Pretty Peacock
