Why would you ?



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:

  1. Because if you're going to buy anyway, why not at a discount?
  2. To share in your love of crafting and sharing that love with others.
  3. To get the best deal.
  4. To join a community of like minded, creative & loving people!!
  5. To enjoy the opportunity to save $ while making beautiful paper crafts, with top notch products and building friendships all over the world.
  6. Because everyone should get to have this much fun at work!
  7. 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!

  • Control Freaks New Catalog Blog Hop


    It's time for our monthly Freak's blog hop!!  Our focus today is the new Annual Catalog.  We have lots of amazing projects to share with you using brand new products. 

    You may have arrived from Tami's blog; I'm sure you loved her projects!  Or maybe you just started here.  To see all 12 posts be sure to click on the icon at the bottom of each post. 

    It's been so fun to play with exciting new products from the 2020 Annual Catalog!  Are you ready for some glitz & shine?

    I chose to play with the Forever Gold Laser-cut Specialty Paper today.  It's part of the Forever Greenery suite of products.  You can see it best on page 152 of your annual catalog. It has 6 sheets; 3 each of 2 single sided designs. One side is gold and the other is white which you can color, spritz or sponge.  I chose to use the gold sides for my projects here.  

    You can see the details & measurements for each one under the photo. 

    I chose to use jewel toned card stock for each card; I think it looks rich & regal with these colors.  The card above is Blackberry Bliss with Very Vanilla.  The pretty golden leafy medallion is all one piece; just punched out from the pack.  I added a 1" X 4 1/4" strip of Vanilla under it and a stamped die cut above with a few metallic pearls.  The stamped image is from Dandelion Wishes and the die is from the Stitched So Sweetly dies. 

    This card is Shaded Spruce with Vanilla.  It's hard to see but the large 4" X 5 1/4" vanilla is textured with our Tasteful Textile embossing folder. The greeting is stamped on a die from Tasteful Labels using the Heart to Heart stamp set.

    Once I had these pieces adhered I could add the laser cut piece on top. I added a bit of liquid multipurpose adhesive to the edges and a few leaves and it's done!

    The laser cut card front pops out so easily from the rest in the sheet. No fussy cutting or die-cutting with these! 

    This is probably my favorite one of the three. This laser-cut piece is delicate and leafy; it leaves a perfect area for a greeting in the stitched center. The card is Night of Navy with a 2" strip of the World of Good designer paper across the middle. 

    I stamped the 'Always' greeting (Field of Flowers set) on a 1 1/2" X 2 1/4" piece of Very Vanilla card stock and sponged the edge with Misty Moonlight ink.  The 'In My Heart' greeting is embossed with Gold embossing powder on Misty Moonlight card stock and punched out with the Classic Label punch. 

    Did you spy the cute little flowers on this card?  They're from the new Confetti Flowers Border punch. Each one has a Metallic pearl on it.  

    I hope you enjoyed seeing these pretty cards with the beautiful Forever Gold Laser-cut Specialty Paper.  If you like shine and glitz you'll love it!

  • One more Forever Fern card with video; in my favorite colors!


    As I've said before I cannot get enough of this stamp set.  And when it's in some of my favorite colors too, well it hits all the high points in my stamping world.  

    We made these pretty cards at my June card clubs.  Simple stamping at it's best!!

    The colors here are Gorgeous Grape, which is gorgeous!, Old Olive and Bermuda Bay.  The pretty die is from the Tasteful Labels set of dies seen here. 

    This stamp set really makes you feel like an artist.  These Distinktive stamps are absolutely amazing!  I cannot say enough about how much I love them.  Even when you stamp over the images it doesn't matter as they appear somewhat translucent.  

    Watch this quick video to get the details and catch some great tips.

  • 2 cute cards with the Pampered Pets bundle


    I featured the Playful Pets bundle when I made these two cards at Tuesday's Facebook Live this week.  This suite is absolutely adorable!  

    Here's a close up of the first card.  The texture of the new Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder is so neat.  It's subtle but still quite noticeable with a unique texture. 

    This card shows just a peak of the cute Playful Pets designer series paper between the textured layers. 

    See the paw prints on the bottom right?  That is a die in the Pets dies.  I placed a scrap of Black CS behind it to show it off.  You can see the entire Playful Pets suite here. 

    The dog is cut from the Playful Pets DSP; the Pet dies match some of the images in the paper!   I added a bit of the Playful Pets trim for a collar and a bone from the Pet Trinkets.  Below are the measurements for this card:

    • Real Red 5 ½” X 8 ½”, 1” X 5 ½”, 2 ¼” X 5 ½” textured pieces
    • 1 ¼” X 5 ½” Designer Series Paper

    Other products used: Tasteful Textile folder, Stitched Shapes and Layering Circles dies

    Below are both cards I made in the FB Live video.  Click here to see it.

    The second card is a unique fold where the Black piece is the full back of the card and the Real Red is scored for the card opening. It's a fun and unique card that works well with our Designer paper.  Whether you use 6 X 6" or 12 X 12" paper it all works without much waste when cutting.

    Measurements:

    • Black 5 ½” X 4 1/4”
    • Real Red 3 ¼” X 11” scored at 5 ½”,
    • Designer Series Paper 5 ½” X 3”
    • Soft Suede 1" X 4 1/4"
    • White strip is 3/4" X 3 1/2" 

    If you like these cards you may want to get my Card Kit to Go that features the entire Playful Pets suite of products along with 10 pre-cut cards!  Be sure to order it by Saturday! See it here.
