Guest Stampers Debbie & Janell

Monday, April 18, 2022

 Today I will share some of the cards that the gals on my team shared with us at last weeks team meeting.

Debbie made this pretty card for a wedding invitation order she received. the "I Do" charm is perfect inside this heart. She also used one of my favorite retired colors (Seaside Spray) Hoping it will come back when Stampin' Up! does a color reboot.

Debbie also brought this lovely, sweet Easter treat for me. Yummy mint chocolates!!
Next up we have cards from Janell
love the 70's themed van!! She used DRIVING BY Stamp Set and the SUNSHINE & RAINBOWS Designer paper from the January-February Sale a bration
This card was made using the ISLAND VIBES Stamp Set (also from the January-February Sale a bration)
So pretty and soft using the FLOWING FLOWERS Stamp Set from the January-June Mini catalog.
Just a heads up - this stamp set will be available through June, but it did not carry over to the new annual catalog, so if you LOVE this set, don't wait to pick it up.

Top Sales Treats

Sunday, April 17, 2022

 These are the treats that I made for my team members for top sales for the first quarter sales.

Actually the top 3 receive Stampin' Up! product, but the next two receive a treat similar to this, filled with candy. If there are more that have sales over $1,000.00 for the quarter, I give a treat to them too. Some months I have to make the 2 and some months I've made as many a 6. Not bad for my small group.

The cute little bunny is from EASTER FRIENDS. You can find this in the January to June Mini Catalog (tip: it is NOT carrying over to the new annual catalog)

This box was Inspired by Cathryn

These are the treats that we made at the March Card Class. I liked them so well that I wanted to use them for my team members for top sales for the month of March. Just like with quarterly rewards, I give Stampin' Up! product to the top 3 in sales, and then give a treat like this to the next two in line.

Doesn't this just make you want to sign up to be on my team??!!
The Starter Kit is ALWAYS a good deal. For only $99.00 plus tax (no shipping on a Starter Kit) you get to choose $125 worth of product of your choice. You also get a bunch of business products like catalogs, order forms, etc.  IF you want to start a little business like me, then you have what you need to get started, but if you only want to reap the discount, that is totally fine too. Follow the link below to get started.
I would love to have you on my team.
Our team meeting was last week Thursday night so I will be sharing all the fun stuff (shares, etc) on this weeks blog posts.

Pierced Blooms

Thursday, April 14, 2022

I am not one to watch the statistics, but when I saw another demonstrator post how many subscribers she has and that it reached over 100,000 it gave me thought to check on mine. My blogspot does not show me how many subscribers that I have but it does show me how many views I have had since starting to blog. I was shocked to be over ONE MILLION VIEWS!! That was very exciting to me.

Did you know that you can subscribe to get my blog post directly to your inbox every time that I post?

On the right side of my blog post it says "subscribe". All you do is add your email to that spot and then they will send you a verification to your email. It's as simple as that.

If you are receiving this as an email that I sent to you, you can check out my blog posts at christicreativecrew.blogspot.com and check out the subscribe option.

Here are two more of the cards that we made this week at the Come Stamp With Me Class last Tuesday

I'm super excited that the Polished Pink Open Weave Ribbon is STAYING for another year in the annual catalog!  This is super yummy and so easy to make bows with.  It's not too thick so it will not add bulk to your card, therefore it will not cost more for mailing it out.

Here is a tip: See the little rhinestones on the flower centers? They REALLY add to the beauty of the card, but these could cause your mailing cost to go up. COULD, but I have received MANY cards with rhinestones and pearl, etc on them and I normally do not need to add more postage nor have I been required to pay a little extra to receive it.  

What I like to do is either add a quarter sheet of card stock (4-1/4 x 5-1/2) to the front of the card so that the rhinestones do not poke through the envelope. (I have received MANY cards with them poking through).  
Your second option is to fold your card inside out, giving cushion for the embellishments.

Don't you just love a good tip!!

The black and white check designer paper is from PATTERN PARTY - a hostess exclusive product. It is a HUGE pack of paper - 48 sheets for only $18 when you choose it as a part of your hostess rewards

You gain hostess rewards when your product reaches $150.00

The ELEGANT TAG PUNCH is on the LAST CHANCE LIST. 

The PIERCED BLOOMS DIES are one of my favorites, but nothing lasts forever, right? They are on the LAST CHANCE LIST. Grab them before they are gone!

Card #2 

EVERYTHING on this card is retired or on the LAST CHANCE LIST (except for the Smoky Slate and Real Red for card base and 1st layer as well as the Sahara Sand for the tag, Soft Suede for the cutting board and Basic Black for the utensils.

The main Designer Paper that looks like a brick(ish) wall is from IN GOOD TASTE.  This is another large pack of paper, but it is available to everyone, (not just a hostess). 

The black and red plaid designer paper is from one of the Christmas packs of paper that we could get for FREE during the July/August Sale-a-bration. I loved this plaid so ended up with several packs of this paper.

I sure do wish that the tiny heart shaped embellishments would return to our line-up. I'm glad that I stocked up on those as well.

This card was inspired by Akiko Sudano on Pinterest

Come Stamp With Me Cards

Wednesday, April 13, 2022

WOW!! A HUGE THANKS to everyone who came to my Come Stamp With Me Class on Tuesday this week.

I was busy every.single.minute.of this day, and I LOVED it!!

Instead of 4 card stations, I set up 6 card stations and when the day was complete, I only had 3 cards left. This includes the extra 8 cards that I had to cut more of plus I sold 2 of the samples!! I would say that this was a bang-up day!  I will have to reevaluate for next week so I don't run out.

This was the card that sold out first (I couldn't cut more because I did not have anymore of the designer paper.) The EXPRESSIONS IN INK Designer Paper is on the LAST CHANCE LIST so if you love it like I do, NOW is the time to get it ordered.

Thankfully, the Artistically Inked Dies and the Contour Dies are both carried over to the new annual catalog. This card was inspired by Su Mohr

Talking about the new annual catalog... I have my stock in hand and if you need one, I hope you will reach out to ask for one.  I would love to be your Stampin' Up! Demonstrator!!

This next card is the card that I had to cut extra of. Thankfully, I had a lot of this designer paper on hand so I was able to do that.
This is called a BOOK BINDING TECHNIQUE. You can make the binding narrower, but I wanted to feature a bit more of the pretty paper so I went wider. The Heart & Home Designer Paper is available through June 30 because it is featured in the January to June Mini Catalog. Each 12x12 sheet is print on one side and a woodgrain on the opposite side.

HOWEVER the Misty Moonlight Card Stock used here IS on the LAST CHANCE LIST. 

The ribbons used here are both carried over to the new annual catalog 

1-1/2" Metallic Mesh Ribbon & 1/4" White Crinkle Seam Binding Ribbon

Stamp Set: Honeybee Home and Dies, also a die from the Horizon Dies set.

The punch for the sentiment is the LOVELY LABELS PICK A PUNCH.

I thought about adding a little gold bumblebee trinket, but wanted to keep it fairly monochromatic. It's hard to see but I added some iridescent sequins from a previous Paper Pumpkin Kit.

Here are my measurements:

Card Base: 4-1/4" x 11" scored at 3-3/4" & 5-1/2"

Designer Paper: 4" x 1-1/2" & 4" 3-1/2" 

Label: White - (before being punched): 1/2" x 3-1/2", Misty Moonlight: 3/4" x 3-3/4" (before being punched)

This card was inspired by Amy Rudd as seen on Rachel Tessman's blog

Tulip Fields

Tuesday, April 12, 2022

The cards that were the biggest hit at last weeks Tuesday class are these two that are made with the Flowering Fields Stamp Set and the Windmill Dies


When I cut the designer paper for card #1 I had a triangle leftover and wanted to use it on a card. The cute sentiment is from FLOWING FLOWERS. 

The good thing is that these items are all in the January to June Mini Catalog and not on the LAST CHANCE LIST - yet!! One thing I do know is that the designer paper NEVER carries over AND the Windmill Dies are NOT in the new Annual Catalog. So.....if you really LOVE the Windmill dies and this gorgeous paper - NOW is the time to pick some up.

Card #1 was inspired by Paula

Ornate Frames

Monday, April 11, 2022

 Another one of the items on the LAST CHANCE LIST is the amazing ORNATE FRAMES DIES.

I LOVE THESE DIES!!

Two of the cards that we made at last weeks Tuesday card class used these wonderful dies

Such a cute little kiwi bird on this 4-1/4" x 4-1/4" card using the COUNT ON ME Stamp Set

Also on the LAST CHANCE LIST from this card is the TASTEFUL TEXTILES 3D EMBOSSING FOLDER.

This card was also a big hit at class. I used the retired Eden's Garden Designer Paper. Super happy to say that the SCALLOP CONTOUR DIES and the 2021-2023 In Color Ribbon are both returning!! YEAH!!

Happy Birthday, Julie!!

Today is our only daughters birthday! Happy Birthday, Julie!!

Julie was never a sports fan growing up. She never participated in group sports, she was our singer, but...as an adult she turned into a die hard Detroit Tigers fan. It was fun to make her this card using the HATS OFF bundle. 

Dash off to the LAST CHANCE LIST to get your hands on this bundle before it is gone forever

I had to grab a Detroit Tiger emblem from the internet to make the hat emblem.
