68

Thursday, June 12, 2025

Each year I am hired to make a bunch of cards for our financial advisor that she uses to send to her clients at their birthdays and even for their anniversary date of when they started to be her client.

These are the birthday cards that I made for the men on her client list - yes, I made 68 of these!

GRASSY GROVE for the deer and trees, but I used a Paper Pumpkin stamp set for the HAPPY BIRTHDAY and the birds. I love the masking idea/technique used to make the large sun.

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

Guest Stampers Jeanne & Debbie

Wednesday, February 19, 2025

Today's guest stamper #1 is Jeanne

Jeane and I both met when we were under a different Stampin' Up! demonstrator, but she came over with me when that demo quit with Stampin' Up!

No worries, she is back on in Stampin' Up! realizing this is the best company to work with.

Jeanne made this adorable Valentine Card from one of her retired stamp sets. I just love that heart border, and the colors are perfect.

She also made this cool masculine card using IN THE GROVE. Her card is over-sized and she did watercoloring! I'm so impressed!! If you don't have the FLUID 100 WATERCOLOR PAPER, you really should give it a try. You can use ink and a water pen or watercolor pencils and a water pen or simply use a blending pen with the watercolor pencils - there is so much you can do.

My next guest stamper is Debbie, who has already agreed to take charge of our Make & Take project at our next meeting in APRIL Debbie & Jeanne are both in my Card club where we meet once a month. We have forged such wonderful friendships through these classes and on our team.

April? I thought you held team meetings every month? Well, normally we do, but I, along with 3 of my team mates, will be going to North Carolina at the same date that I would normally hold my team meeting.

This technique is called a FLOATING VERTICAL BANDSTAND POP UP CARD. She got the measurements from Sue Campfield, but she changed it up to be horizontal.

She plans to do the birthday version using the WILDFLOWER BIRTHDAY DSP for our Make & Take.

Everyone got a sneak peek at the team meeting which will make them all want to come for sure!

I particularly like this one with the tools! Debbie just acquired the tool dies because they are FREE during SAB!! Win-win!

Oh, this masculine card with the deer is also a favorite!! I love how she heat embossed the grasses with gold.

This one is elegant and it is like the one she made for Inez for her February birthday.

This one you need to decide if you like the card on the left with "more" or the card on the right with "less"

I love the fences, but I also love the simplicity of card on the right - the decision is made - I love them both!

I love the yellow colors used with the Floral Delight DSP and the Delightful Wishes bundle

Debbie also sent me this darling Valentine card. Gotta love that little hamster!

Grassy Grove

Thursday, October 10, 2024

Another card that we made at Saturday's World Card Making Day is a masculine card

I was inspired to make this card when I saw one on Splitcoast Stampers by Diane Vander Galien.

I used IN THE GROVE Stamp Set, and created a circle mask for the sun

The little birds are from a past Paper Pumpkin kit as well as the birthday sentiment.

Three Glossy Dots are what I used for the embellishments.

Now that it is October there will be some new kits coming out and I will post those as soon as possible.
