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

  • The Last Chance Sale starts Tuesday!! The Stamparatus is already low inventory!


    Tuesday starts our big Last Chance sale on both the Annual and Spring (January-April) catalogs.  However things are already selling out!  I wanted to give you a heads up on my favorite tool.  

    One of the biggest shocker on the retired lists is our Stamparatus seen here. It's already in low inventory! 

    I am SO SAD that it is retiring.  You may wonder why because it's an amazing stamping positioning tool.  There are some copyright & legal issues happening that is forcing Stampin' Up! to take it out of their product offerings. 


    This means the magnets, grid paper are leaving as well.  So if you don't have a Stamparatus yet; get one today!  And if you do, I suggest getting a set of magnets here while you can. They're half off starting Tuesday, April 4th.

    Here's a video showing you the benefits of a Stamparatus. 

    And here's another one below on hinge step stamping.

  • Easter Bunny Floating Panel card with a free project sheet & video tutorial!


    We made this sweet card at my March Card Clubs – it features the Easter Bunny bundle.  This bundle is currently unavailable.  you can get the Easter Bunny stamp set now but the Bunny punch is returning in May. 

    It's a Floating Panel fun fold card; one of my current favorite folds lately.  It's both fun to make and easy to create too!  

    My colors include Fresh Freesia, Blackberry Bliss and Daffodil Delight.   Below you'll see the baby version. I gave my gals the choice of Easter or baby.  

    The greetings for the baby card are from Charming Sentiments. Click here for the PDF project sheet for measurements & products used. 

    I used a variety of products on this card: 

    • Stamps – Easter Bunny, Charming Sentiments
    • Ink – Fresh Freesia, Blackberry Bliss
    • Paper – Fresh Freesia, Daffodil, Blackberry Bliss, Basic White, Tea Boutique, Butterfly Kisses, Flowers & More host
    • Other – Basic Borders dies, Cane Weave 3D folder, Dimensionals, Brass Butterflies 

    Do you see his little cottontail? I tore off a piece from a cotton ball and rolled it into a ball. It's adhered with out Multipurpose liquid glue.   

    Here are the measurements:

    • Card base 4 1/4" X 11" score at 2 3/4" & 5 1/2". Scraps for bunny & circle punch. Two strips 1/2" X 1 1/2" for the floating panel hinges
      • DSP pieces four pieces at 1 1/4" X 4"
      • White front square 2 3/4", inside 5 1/4" X 4"
      • Blackberry Bliss square 2 7/8"
      • Greeting strips 3/4" X 3 1/2"

    Here's a tip on the Floating panel:  You need just two pieces of card stock about 1/2" X 2 1/2". Fold them in half and adhere to the center fold; one on each side.  Your front panel is adhered to this. 

    *Watch the video below (or click here) where I share the tips on creating this card; it's the second project of 4!

    Have you ever done the baby swipe technique?  It's so fun; playing with baby wipes and ink refills is a bit addictive!  

    I made this card for our March Team swap; the theme was to use a technique involving ink refills.  

    My colors include Daffodil Delight, Polished Pink and Black.  

    Other products used:

    Can you spot the shimmer?  I used the Pearlescent paper from the Annual Catalog.  See it here. 

    It was the perfect sheen for this technique as the moist ink did not absorb quickly like it might for regular card stock. Glossy paper would also work well. 

    After I added the color, I let it dry for an hour or so.  Then I textured it with one of the embossing folders in the 3D Basics pack seen here.  These are currently out of stock but they'll be back in May. 

    Below you can see the difference in my cards; especially the colors. One is soft and subtle and the other more vibrant.  This happens as you work with your baby wipe; the first few swipes are bold and the next few are much softer. 

    Tips for success: 

    • Fold and roll your baby wipe in a tube.  Hold it tightly and add a few drops of ink refills. 
    • Add each color separately in a row.  I tend to add enough for about 1/2" of surface. 
    • Start swiping off your paper and then onto it.  You can do straight swipes or get creative and add curves or swirls. Let dry.
    • Shimmery, pearlescent or glossy works best. But you can do it on regular card stock too. 
    • I suggest you use light to medium colors. 

    Notice the colors of the butterflies? I colored the Brass Butterflies with a Polished Pink blends marker for the left card.  I wasn't sure I liked it or not so left them uncolored for my swap cards.  

    Watch the video here or click on the image below to see this technique. It's the last technique I share in the video.
