Why would you ?

May 16, 2021

If you love Stampin' Up! products and creating I sincerely believe getting the Starter Kit is the smart way to go. Here is a short list of what other Demonstrators say about sharing this opportunity:

Because if you're going to buy anyway, why not at a discount?
To share in your love of crafting and sharing that love with others.
To get the best deal.
To join a community of like minded, creative & loving people!!
To enjoy the opportunity to save $ while making beautiful paper crafts, with top notch products and building friendships all over the world.
Because everyone should get to have this much fun at work!
Because even as a hobby demo it's a great way to build friendships, have fun and get a discount.

I've never had a Team Member regret joining Stampin' Up! Most often they say 'Why did I wait?!'

We have so much fun in my Flowerbug's group! Even though many of us are spread across the country we connect, share and support each other online. Most are hobby stampers or what I call 'Happy Shoppers'; just enjoying the perks of the discount, being a part of some fabulous online groups and seeing and ordering from catalogs early. It's a fantastic thing to be a part of!

Details on being a Demonstrator:

Enjoy the 20% discount on all orders while you're active. Stop ordering when you want.
There's no pressure to sell or hold events.
Your first $300 quarterly minimum isn't due until the end of September!
And all orders from May – Sept count towards that minimum!
Many people buy from themselves; ever order counts towards that minimum!
SU counts product as retail towards that minimum; but you're paying just 80% of it. For instance, an order of $100 counts towards your $300 minimum but you pay just $80. Most times the tax & shipping is added on to the $80; not the $100. This means you're receiving an even better deal!
Joining now means you can pre-order from the Holiday AND Sale-a-Bration catalog in July!! And that counts towards your minimum!

Use your nesting dies to create a designer paper window – video & free project sheet

August 5, 2024

On last week's Live video I shared a neat way to use nesting dies to create a frame with your double sided designer series paper.
Save

I chose to feature the Thoughtful Moments DSP with this neat technique. Simply choose two dies that are the same shape and about 1/4-1/2" apart. Die-cut and then flip over the narrow frame to reveal the opposite side of the Designer Series Paper. It's so neat!

**This Designer Paper and many more will be on sale starting Tuesday, August 6th! Details will be shared tomorrow.

The leaf die is from the Friends for Life dies. My nesting dies are called Countryside Corners and can be seen here.

Save

Tip – be sure the color of the opposite side of your paper coordinates with the front. I chose the card base to match the frame – Pretty Peacock. My greeting is in Fresh Freesia.

Here are both cards shown on the video; the second card on the right has a Lost Lagoon frame & card base. The White die-cut on the right card is from the Thoughtful Wishes bundle.

Save

Here's the free project sheet you can download or print: Download Thoughtful Journey Window card

The designer paper for these cards is 4" X 5 1/4" which leaves a 2" strip for another project. I wanted to share a quick card to use up that leftover piece:

Save

I simply added it to the card base with a coordinating card stock strip on the edge. Then added layering circles for my greeting.

If you're wondering about the ribbon, it's the pretty Iridescent 1/2" striped trim seen here. I cut it in half to get 1/4" thick trim. It has been unavailable for awhile but it's back now.

Here are all 4 cards I shared in the video you can see here.

Save

Here's the video below to see how this is done plus another card idea with the beautiful Thoughtful Journey designer paper. I'll share the second card Wednesday.

Ginny made this cute card with the A Little Latte designer paper

Save

Her colors include Calypso Coral and Pecan Pie. She cased this card from Karen Ksenzahovie from Creative Stamping Designs. I like the little details of the three DSP strips under the coffee cups. Her greeting is heat embossed in White.

Mary also featured the A Little Latte designer paper and the Latte Love bundle. These products can be seen online here.

Save

Her colors include Pecan Pie with Lost Lagoon and White. She trimmed off an inch from the left front to reveal the cute trio of die-cut coffee cups inside. Cute detail!

Fun Summery card swaps by my Team

August 1, 2024

This week I've been sharing our July card swaps made by my Flowerbug's Team. Our theme was thank you cards without flowers.

Roxann made this adorable card with the Round we Go bundle:

Save

See the Round we Go bundle here. Her background paper is from the Country Woods DSP seen here. Her colors are Smoky Slate, Petal Pink and Pool Party with White. What a fun and eye-catching card!

Lori made this one with the Spotlight on Nature dies and the Butterfly Paper Accents seen here.

Save

Unfortunately the Spotlight on Nature dies are unavailable again – this must be the third time since they were released! Her colors include Crumb Cake, Pretty in Pink and Summer Splash with White. The amazing Dotted Circles 3D embossing folder is featured on her background. Love how it fits so perfectly with the circles! It's in low inventory but you can see that here.

~~~

Candy made this beautiful card with the Sketched Butterfly bundle seen here.

Save

I love her soft colors of Lost Lagoon with Smoky Slate, Black and Very Vanilla. She used Lost Lagoon & Smoky Slate Blends markers to color that pretty butterfly. She also used the dark Lost Lagoon blends marker to color her Black & Very Vanilla large check ribbon.

Tomorrow I'll post the last of the July Team swaps.
