October join special; get a complete $99 crafting kit for just $35! Do not wait!

My Flowerbug’s Team has grown by well over 20 people this month! YAY! Lots of people have taken advantage of the unbelievable join special in October.

This join special is absolutely incredible and if you’ve ever considered getting the starter kit now is THE BEST TIME! There are just 2 days left so do not wait to take advantage of this deal.

You can choose either the $99 kit or the $35 kit. I recommend the $35 kit. This gives you more money to put towards your first order as a Demo.

With either choice you get $90 in free products! From then on you get 20-25% off all purchases from Stampin’ Up! as long as you stay active. Use this link to start your kit order. It’s really just an order; you can decide how long you want to stay in later. There’s no need to sell or hold classes; just enjoy the discount! However if you do want to earn some extra $$ I am happy to help you in any way.

More details:

• You have through March to meet your first $300 quarterly minimum! (And all purchases will count towards that amount)
• Add the November Online Exclusive products to your Starter Kit (you can see them when you’re picking out your kit products)
• During your first six months you have the following opportunities:
  • 1. Early access to the January–April 2026 Mini Catalog (PDF in November + preorder privileges).
  • 2. Preorder access to the January Online Exclusives.
  • 3. Early access to the 2026–2027 Annual Catalog and preorder opportunities.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Let me tell you about this package deal. You can get the awesome 12 Days of Crafting kit with the join deal. This pretty box of products is valued at way over $100 and costs $99. But if you added it to your starter kit it costs just $35. And you still get to add $26 more in Stampin’ Up! products to get to the $125 amount! That’s crazy amazing.

You can see it here.

This beautiful kit includes 12 ‘windows’ filled with brand new Stampin’ UP! products plus two stamp sets as well! This calendar comes with a 24-piece stamp set and has 12 never-before-seen products including papers, embellishments, ephemera, tools, and more, all of which coordinate with one another! *you will need a cut & emboss machine

Bonus perk; everyone who orders it from me (and my Team of course) will receive a big PDF filled with multiple projects using these new products. I cannot wait to play with mine.

• Ornate Thanks & Ornate Borders with a clever fun fold idea

  April 21, 2020

  ---

  I shared these two pretty cards on my Facebook Live last Tuesday. (Click here to see my page.)  I made another version using the Best Dressed designer paper.  I'll share those tomorrow. 

  
  
  
  
  
  

  They are made from a standard 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" piece of card stock but you add a second score to it.  It's scored on the long side at 1 1/2" and 4 1/4".

  
  
  
  
  
  

  The best part of this fun fold card is how it makes the most of your designer paper!  Each card uses one piece measuring 5 1/4" X 6".  Cut it into three pieces; the first (left) piece at 2 3/4" wide X 5 1/4" tall, the middle piece at 1 1/8" wide and the right (inside) piece at 2 1/8" X 5 1/4".

  Those three pieces add up to 6" across!  What a great way to use your designer paper! You can make 4 cards from a 12" sheet! 

  The white layer inside the card (for writing or stamping onto) is 5 1/4" X 1 3/4".  I used the To a Wild Rose stamp set for the greeting. The leaves and greeting die-cut are from the popular Painted Labels dies (now available again!!!) 

  Here's a close up view of the greeting.  It looks like I heat embossed it right?  

  
  
  
  
  
  

  I didn't but it is sparkly!  I used the Wink of Stella pen!  It's fun to trace the stamped greeting; it's large enough that it was easy to do. 

  You can find this pretty Ornate Garden specialty paper and the entire Ornate Garden suite of products here.  

  
  
  
  
  
  

  This card base is Terracotta Tile; one of our 2019-21 In Colors.  I paired it with Mint Macaron card stock.  

  
  
  
  
  
  

  I added an extra Ornate Border trim on the inside of the card too.  You might be able to spot more Wink of Stella on the designer paper and I added it to the die-cuts too.  See that pretty Terracotta Tile ribbon?  It's part of the Ornate Garden ribbon combo pack with Old Olive.  Gorgeous soft 1/4" ribbons! 

  
  
  
  
  
  

  The label and leafy die-cuts here are from the To a Wild Rose bundle seen here.

• Two days left and they’ll be gone!

  April 20, 2020

  ---

  The retiring list is coming out this week Wednesday and these bright and vibrant In Colors will be gone within hours!  They're the 2018-20 In Colors seen on page 164 of the Annual Catalog. Click here to see everything available in these colors; there's a lot! 

  Be sure to order by Wednesday before they're gone!  

  I created 5 cute cards; one in each color using the Daisy Lane & Sweetly Swirled stamp sets.  These cards are going out to my family this week.  

  
  
  
  
  
  

  I used Black ink for the greetings and swirls and the In Color inks for the daisy. The Medium Daisy punch is part of a bundle with the Daisy Lane stamp set seen here. Remember that it will not be available as a bundle after May, 2020. Even if both items return in the next catalog, bundles always retire from one catalog to the next. 

  Here's the Lovely Lipstick version: 

  
  
  
  
  
  

  Details:
  Main cards 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
  Black 3 1/2" X 4 1/2"
  White 3 1/4" square plus 3/4" strips for greetings
  In Color DSP 1" X 3 1/4"
  

  
  

  
  
  
  
  
  

  Products used:

  Sweetly Swirled & Daisy Lane stamp sets, Retiring 2018-20 In colors plus Black ink, Daisy punch, Faceted gems, In Color ribbons & In Color enamel dots

• Best Dressed FB Live cards

  April 17, 2020

  ---

  I made these 3 pretty cards during my weekly 'Stamp with Me' Facebook Live last night.  

  
  
  
  
  
  

  Each Thursday at 8 pm CT we'll finish 3 cards together in about 30 minutes.   Prep your pieces ahead of time using the measurements I provide and you'll be surprised how quickly you can make your cards!  Join me here: 

  I used the Best Dressed Designer paper seen here but you can substitute other paper, colors, stamps and punches. The stamped greetings are from the Peaceful Moments set here. I use this stamp set so much; the sentiments are wonderful.

  After the video many people share their finished cards. It's so fun to see what products everyone uses and how similar (or not) they are to mine. 

  Here are the details and close up views of these three cards: 

  
  
  
  
  
  

  Old Olive 5 1/2" X 8 1/2", Best Dressed DSP is 4" X 3", Lovely Lipstick is 4 1/4" X 3 1/4", White strip is 3/4" X 4 1/4".  A fast, easy card. 

  
  
  
  
  
  

  Purple Posy 4 1/4" X 8 1/2" scored at 5 1/2", Mint Macaron 3 1/4" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4", yellow DSP is 4" X 2 3/4", floral DSP is 3" X 4", Stitched So Sweetly die-cut in White, 2 1/4" Mint circle, punched butterflies , Mint 1/8" ribbon

  
  
  
  
  
  

  • Purple Posy 4 1/4" X 9 3/4" scored at 5 1/2", DSP is 4" square, Detailed Band die-cut (see it here) in Purple Posy (Or use a border and any punch or die-cut)
