Deals & Gifts galore; just for you! Times running out; just 6 days left!


If you love good deals; I have two happening through February 28th.

Keep reading! 

I'm giving you 6 free card kits for orders over $55 through the end of February.  Plus my other gifts as well! *I ran out of the easel calendars & embossing folders; I'll be substituting Rhinestone jewels instead. (Gingham embossing folder & Easel calendar kit!). 

In addition to my free gifts you'll get a free Sale-a-Bration choice too! Gifts galore! It ends on February 28th. Go here to order. 


Next deal….. how about $100 in free product?  

During our Sale-a-Bration promotion (ends February 28th) you can choose $125 in product of your choice for just $99.  Plus TWO free stamp sets too!  In addition to that the Starter kit includes a free Paper Pumpkin kit, business supplies and catalogs too. 

I polled my Flowerbug's Team to ask them why they joined when they did. 

Top 5 reasons my gals chose the Stampin' Up! Starter Kit:

  1. A good deal
  2. Continuous discount
  3. Love of Stampin’ Up! products
  4. See new products & catalogs early (cannot wait!)
  5. Ordering regularly anyway

You may think you have to 'sell' or hold events.  Or order a bunch of items to have on hand.  Nope!  Here are some myths you might have about being a Stampin' UP! Demonstrator: 

Myths:

  1. You have to sell.  Or hold classes.  Nope! I call my gals who simply enjoy the discount ‘Happy Shoppers’.  
  2. It’s a commitment.  Wrong. You can quit ordering at any time. Enjoy it while you can and end when you want. There's no pressure from me or Stampin’ Up! to do more than you want to.
  3. You have to join in swaps or group activities. It's your choice.   
  4. I don’t have time.  You're in charge! Spend as much time as you want on this hobby; nothing has to change.
  5. I’m not creative enough.  Case & copy anything you see online or use any of my free tutorials.      

Here are some Facts:  

  1. To stay active, you need $300 in orders/sales each quarter.  But with the 20% discount you’re really paying just $240 out of pocket!  But you get the benefits of the full $300. WOW! And you're taxed on the lower amount; not the full $300. 
  2. Your first quarter is waived so you do not need the $300 in orders until the end of June. That means you can pre-order from the new 2021 Annual catalog that starts in April.  New In Colors!
  3. You get all of the benefits a customer does; including free host rewards and we get our discount on top of special promotions.
  4. Plus we get extra $$ income if our orders/sales are over a certain amount each month. That includes our own orders! 

Are you ready to get yours?

  • Two background techniques on this pretty Kindest Expressions card


    I made this card for our June Team swap; our theme was to create our own background.  I went a bit overboard but had a ton of fun making these!

    It features these products from our Annual Stampin' Up! catalog:

    1. Kindest Expressions stamp set
    2. Paper Florist dies
    3. Countryside Corners dies
    4. Blending Brushes
    5. Artistic Mix Decorative Masks
    6. Embossing paste Matte finish
    7. Adhesive-Backed sequins trio

    Whew!  And I didn't even list the ink and paper!  My colors include Berry Burst, Bubble Bath, Lemon Lime Twist and Basic White.

    • I used Berry Burst ink and a Blending Brush to create an ombre background on my Bubble Bath card stock. I let that dry overnight. 
    • I then used a mask over this to spread White Embossing Paste with a Palette knife.  Even though my ink was dry it picked up the color and created an ombre look on the paste too.  I let that dry for a few hours.
    • Add the greeting and the Paper Florist dies seen here.  I can tell that I'll be using these dies a lot.  They're wonderful and make a huge variety of flowers. 

    I LOVE how they turned out.  

    I'll be sharing my Flowerbug's Team swaps later this week.  Stay tuned!

  • Check out this ‘Tackle box’ with the Gone Fishing bundle! Amazing!!


    Today I'm sharing the last projects Candace made with the Gone Fishing and Let's Go Fishing designer paper.  She was our Artist of the Month for June and created some incredible projects!  

    I was blown away by this 'tackle box' full of candy.  She told me she made it up herself!  AMAZING!! 

    She added gummy fish & worms, kisses, candy 'rocks' and nuggets inside.  I believe she first scored her box front then used the Gone Fishing large die to cut the windows for the front panel. Scoring first would help you center the die. Then she added the window sheet to the underside.  The window sheet holds the die-cut frame and the box front in place. 

    Measurements for the box: *corrected

    • top of box 6 1/4 X 7 1/2" score 1" on all sides
    • bottom of box 6 1/8" X 7 3/8" score at 1" on all sides
    • window sheet 4 1/8" X 5 1/4" 
    • left inside divider (two compartments) is 1 7/8" X 6 3/4" score at 2 3/4", 3 1/2" & 4 1/4" 
    • right inside divider (three compartments) is 2 1/8" X  8 1/4" scored at 2", 2 3/4", 3 1/2", 5 1/8", 5 7/8" & 6 5/8" 
    • inside bottom (under the two divided sections) 5 1/4" X 5 5/8" score at 1 7/8", 2 5/8" & 3 3/8"

    To assemble this you'd add the long vertical divided piece first and then the two scored strips after that.  

    I made a birthday version of this box. You can watch the video here.  

    You can see the Gone Fishing bundle here. 

    This last card is another fun fold; she made lots of them in her array of cards.  

    It's a pocket card that could also include a gift card inside it. Be sure to note the rhinestone 'fish bubbles' on the sentiment.  


    I love the wavy detail she added to the inside piece; it's from the Gone Fishing dies.

    Measurements:

    • Misty Moonlight card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 3/4" & 6 3/4"
    • DSP 5 1/4" X 2 1/2" for front, bottom layer is 5 1/4" X 1"
    • Vanilla inside pull-out is 4 1/2" X 3 1/2"

    And last but certainly not least is this fabulous shaker card:


    It's hard to tell but the colored and stamped panel is placed in one of our clear envelopes so she could add the new Iridescent shaker circles seen here. She added Boho Blue ink to the neutral card front using a Blending Brush, then stamped the greeting and leaves. She also fussy cut the fish from the Let's Go Fishing designer series paper and added them with Dimensionals. Then came the torn card stock layer and the bobbin and linen thread. 

    Now she placed the entire piece inside a clear envelope, folded over the excess and secured it with adhesive. Now she added the shaker circles from the top open edge before closing it off to seal.  Add it to your card base layers and you're done! 

    You can see these clear envelopes here.  I use them for card swaps, storing & protecting my finished cards and of course for easy shaker cards. They're $7 for 50 envelopes! 

    This is such a fun card to make AND receive! It's hard to stop shaking it!
