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?

  • The Sending Smiles bundle is so versatile! Check out these two projects.


    Last week I shared three projects with the Sending Smiles bundle seen here.  I think it's one of the best choices in the new Annual Catalog by Stampin' Up!  

    I also wanted to use the Pretty Prints designer paper and chose the Bermuda Bay sheet in the package.  I also wanted to use one of the new In Colors and settled on Sweet Sorbet. 

    Next I had to choose a coordinating color to soften these two vibrant colors and settled on Blushing Bride.  I was so surprised how well these colors combined!  

    The next thing that inspired this layout was a card sketch we have been working on in my Flowerbug's Team group.  As you can see I changed the main image to be on the angle.  

    Sketches are one of my favorite ways to get inspiration on card layouts. 

    Measurements:

    • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
    • DSP 4" square
    • White 2 3/4" square
    • Sweet Sorbet 2 7/8" square
    • Glimmer paper strip 3/8" X 4 1/4"  

    Can you see that the flowers are darker in the center and lighter on the outer petals?  I inked the flowers in Sweet Sorbet ink and stamped off once.  Then I used a sponge dauber to add more Sweet Sorbet ink to just the center.  You can see this technique in the video here.  

    This next card was a make & take at my New Catalog Launch party a few weeks ago.  I wanted to have a cute but easy card they could make featuring our new In Colors.  

    They were able to stamp the flowers easily and perfectly with the Stamparatus. You can see how it's done in the video below.  

    One of my favorite thing about this bundle is how versatile the greetings are; so many possibilites! 

    Measurements:

    • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4" 
    • White layers are 3 3/4" X 5"
    • Starry Sky is 3 7/8" X 5 1/8" 

    And here's the video; click on the photo below to watch these two cards and one other too.

  • Clean & Simple Blog Hop; Pretty Pop-Up dies


    Welcome to the Control Freak's May blog hop!  The theme is Clean & Simple projects. 

    You may have just arrived or hopped over from Wendy's blog.  I'm sure you loved her unique projects. 

    For some reason when I think of clean & simple I lean towards mostly white projects.  I've been wanting to play with my new Pretty Pop-Up dies so here is what I came up with for my first project: 

    It's almost all white; just a few accents of Balmy Blue & Petal Pink.  These Pretty Pop-Up dies do not cut all of the way through; they provide detailed texture and a 'peak' behind the die-cuts.  

    I added a bit of color to some of the flowers and butterflies with Balmy Blue & Petal Pink light blends markers.  To get them to pop up a bit I pushed each die-cut outward with my Take Your Pick tool.  I adhered this 4" X 5 1/4" piece to a smaller piece of Balmy Blue card stock using mini dimensionals.  

    The greeting is from the Nature's Thoughts stamp set and on a die-cut from the Natural Prints dies.  I added a 1/4" strip behind this to bring in a bit of Balmy Blue. This card might not be considered true clean & simple but it does only have a few layers!  Ha!

    I stuck with the Balmy Blue & White them for my second card but added a bit of Gray Granite with the Abigail Rose designer paper. 

    I used the smaller oval die for this card and used one of the single dies for the White butterfly.  

    The greeting is stamped on a circle die from the Picture This dies and is from the Nature's Thoughts stamp set as well. There is a piece of Vellum card stock behind the Balmy Blue layer. 

    You can see some of the dies I used in the photo below: 

    Thank you so much for stopping in today; I hope you enjoyed seeing these Pretty Pop-Up die projects!  

    I hope you'll stick with the 'hop' to see all of the projects!  Click here to see Melissa's projects or on the icon below.

  • Sending Smiles card; a fabulous & versatile bundle with video


    I made a bunch of these cards for a swap in April and also demonstrated it on FB Live last Tuesday here.  

    I LOVE the colors of Parakeet Party & Orchid Oasis together.  This new lime color of Parakeet Party brightens up our color line and it works with blues & purples beautifully! 

    The Sending Smiles bundle seen here is wonderful and was #1 on my list of 'must have's'.

    I made three projects on last week's Facebook Live using this fabulous bundle.  See it here. 

    I love the fact that they provided two sizes of the die-cut 'Sending'.  The larger one fits under the finer die-cut like seen on the card below.  But it also fits the stamped greeting image too.  So smart!  

    You can create a variety of flowers with this bundle as you can see.  This flower can be falling like wisteria or growing up like these here; they remind me of grape hyacinth.  

    Click here or on the photo below to watch the video for this card and TWO MORE as well.
