Christi's Creative Crew: Celebratory Sips

Last week was our June team meeting, and the most fun is to share what we have been working on since our last team meeting.

Today's guest stampers are Janell and Debbie

Janell made a gorgeous card using the CONEFLOWER CELEBRATION BUNDLE & a fun card using CELEBRATORY SIPS BUNDLE

It's hard to see on the card but she added WINK OF STELLA on the Coneflower which really makes it stand out. The Flower flips up to reveal a greeting.

Debbie made her cards using the POPPIN' BY BUNDLE.

What a fun gift card holder

INSIDE:

She also made a bandstand style card

Debbie took charge of our Make & Take for the night and she prepared these darling popcorn treats for us to make

And then she shared an alternate popcorn treat holder if you wanted a box to put your popcorn in. So it's kind of a box-card.

Absolutely EVERYONE LOVED the Make & Take this month. In fact Debbie came up with her own pattern for the Popcorn holder. Super cute! I just love those little black glasses that the popcorn guy is wearing. (I see he is missing a shoe - I just noticed that as I am preparing this blog.

These are the measurements that Debbie shared with us:

Base CS: 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" score at 4-1/4"

Cut angle on front, 1-1/4" from center fold at the top to 2-1/2" from the bottom right side.

Designer paper: 5" x 3-3/4" Cut angle from 1" at top to 2-1/4" from the bottom right side.

She cut the second largest rectangle from NESTED ESSENTIALS in Basic White.

The tag that holds your project closed is from TAGS TO GO DIES

Super- Super Cute! she did a TON of prep work for us.

I sure do appreciate all of my team, and when they agree to take charge of the Make & Take I give them a Stampin' Up! product gift.

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

Today's first guest stamper is Anna

Anna's first card she used the FRUIT SALAD DSP that we received during SAB.

In the same theme - she used the BLOOM IMPRESSIONS DSP that we received during SAB

For Anna's third card(s) she stamped the SPOTLIGHT ON NATURE image directly onto the BOKEH DOTS DSP. Yeah! the BOKEH DOTS DSP is returning in the new Annual Catalog.

For Anna's last card it is a sneak peek to the IMPRESSIONS ABLOOM Stamp Set that will be released on May 6th. We purchased this stamp set (bundle) in advance of the OnStage event in NC.

Anna made her own DSP by stamping the floral images onto Basic White Card Stock.

She also used some of the new InColor Dots that we received at OnStage.

Our next Guest Stamper is Janell
Janell used some of our new DSP that will be released May 6th. As a demonstrator we get to pre order product ahead of everyone else. It's a great perk! This DSP is called CELEBRATORY SIPS and has a cute stamp set (bundle) that goes with it called CHEERS & SIPS. She also used the amazing EVERYDAY ARCHES DIES for the flap. I Love it!!

A second card using the same stamp set and DSP

Janell's next card is so cute! She used FRIENDS OF THE OCEAN DSP and the coordinating OCEAN FRIENDS Stamp Set (bundle)

It's a super fun, fun fold also using the EVERYDAY ARCHES DIES
