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!

I'm sharing some group photos of some of my favorite Sale-a-bration projects today. Many are made by me and others are swaps from my Demonstrator friends or team members.
Maybe you already own some of these Sale-a-Bration items. I hope you're inspired by these projects. Or maybe these will give you a little nudge to add one or more to your order….?
First are cards made with the Delicate Dahlia stamp set. This was an easy favorite of mine. The 2-step DistINKtive images are gorgeous!
I love this paper so much! Classic prints in Black, Red, White, Sahara Sand & Garden Green. In fact I like it so much I created one of my October kits to go around it! I'll share that next week.
Well I hope you enjoyed seeing some of my favorite Sale-a-Bration projects today. It's always sad when this amazing promotion ends. I hope you were able to get the items you wanted! See all of the free options here.

This Gorgeous Leaves stamp set & bundle is one of the choices you can pick with the Starter Kit special going on right now. It's actually free; one of 12 different options just through tomorrow, September 30th. Click here to see them all.
Here's the most simple card I made. But with these beautiful colors it is still striking. Cherry Cobbler, Evening Evergreen & Cinnamon Cider. Most of the cards used this color combination.
You might wonder how I come up with these color combinations. I usually pull out sheets of card stock and see if they work together. Many times I have to switch one or more out before I'm happy. I don't use a color wheel or any guide; I just play and use what feels right.
This next card is a 3" X 5 1/2" panel of Vanilla CS with a thin edge of Cinnamon Cider. The greeting is stamped and heat embossed on a 1" strip of Evening Evergreen. I did go over the White embossing with my Cinnamon Cider Blends marker. I also colored the White ribbon with the same Blends marker before tying my bow.
Do you ever create your own paper with stamps & ink? These types of images make it fun & easy to do. Try it; you will love filling in your card stock with pretty images. Remember to always start with your largest images first.
In this next card I added a few of the die-cuts from the Intricate Leaves dies from this bundle. The greeting is from the Pretty Pumpkins stamp set seen here. I colored the small leaves image with Stampin' Write markers.
This next card is so quick, easy and still eye catching. Start with a pretty greeting in the center (Pretty Pumpkins set) and add leaves in opposing corners. A little splatter, sponging and gems and you're done!
Now for the next few cards we're getting into some stamping techniques! This set of cards is made with the Emboss Resist technique. Same colors as above with the addition of Bumblebee and Gold.
I embossed the leaves images using Versamark ink and clear embossing onto Vanilla CS. Next, sponge Classic ink randomly, directly over the embossing filling in the entire piece of card stock with color.
Then use a damp tissue or cloth to wipe off the excess ink. It will come off of the embossed images but stay on the card stock. So fun and gorgeous!
I toned down & softened the look with a piece of Vellum card stock (3 1/2" X 4 3/4"). The die-cuts are all from the Intricate Leaves dies. The pretty greeting that is heat embossed with Gold embossing powder is from the Heartfelt Wishes stamp set seen here. It's in the Holiday catalog as well.
As you can see the Joseph's Coat can create a beautiful 'coat of colors'. The card above uses the same colors as the previous cards including Bumblebee. Holiday rhinestones are perfect with these colors.
This next card has Old Olive instead of Evening Evergreen. The Evergreen was just too dark. It is Cherry Cobbler card stock & ink. My photo came out a bit off color.
Once you have clear embossed leaves over this sponged piece you rub on a darker color of Classic or water-based ink. Anything but permanent ink should work. I used Soft Suede here. Most people use Black.
After I rubbed the Soft Suede ink pad directly onto the embossed card stock I used a tissue to wipe off the excess from the embossed leaves revealing the beautifully colored leaves.
*Watch the video below to see this technique done Live.
It's made with the Christmas Season bundle seen here. This bundle was one of my first purchases from the 2021 Holiday Catalog; I think it's extremely versatile and SO easy to create with!
The colors include Evening Evergreen, Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake & Very Vanilla. The sentiments are from the Poinsettia Petals stamp set in the Annual Catalog.

After we stamped the background we added texture with either the Timber or Timeworn Type 3D embossing folders. There is also a few spatter images from the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set.
