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!

  • Christmas card swaps – fun layouts and fancy-fold cards


    I have lots of beautiful cards to share with you this week; all from my Flowerbug's Team swaps. You'll love the theme – 'to use glitz, shine or shimmer'. 

    This first card was made by Tracey.  I think we all love the fractured card layout! 

    If you want to learn how to make a fractured card here's a link to a video I did.

    Products used:

    • Christmas Tidings embossing folder (Holiday catalog)
    • Stylish Shapes dies – for 1 7/8" Vanilla square

    ~~~

    Next is a neat interlocking gatefold card made by Candace. I'm not sure of the name of this fun fold but see how the circle die-cuts are entwined? One is adhered to each side of the front folds.

    • Gift of Giving stamp set (2023 Holiday catalog)
    • Shining Christmas specialty designer paper ( was in the online exclusives; now sold out)
    • Stylish Shapes dies for circles (2023-24 Annual catalog)

    She added designer paper to the inside too!

  • Beautiful Winter Meadow card; a great layout to use those extra pieces


    The Winter Meadow designer paper & the Magical Meadow stamp & dies bundle are among my favorites from the 2023 Holiday catalog. Pretty products produce pretty projects!  Say that three times! Ha! 

    I was playing with the designer paper and had these two pieces among the scraps in my paper pack. I simply added a layer of Blueberry Bushel card stock to one piece and added them to the White card base offset from each other for balance.  Easy peasy! 

    Measurements:

    • Card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 4 1/4"
    • DSP 1 piece at 2 1/2" X 4" and 1 at 2" X 4 1/4"
    • Blueberry Bushel 2 3/4" X 4 1/4" 

    Of course the pretty dies help a lot too. The greeting label is from the Nested Essential dies seen here and the leaves are both from the Magical Meadow bundle seen here.  

    Next I added a greeting layer – heat embossed with Silver embossing powder & my Heat Tool.  Adding the White & Silver mesh ribbon in loops under it sure gives a great finishing touch! To add the loops of ribbon I created them and pressed them to the back of my greeting, after I added some Seal tape runner of course.  

    I saw that this beautiful Winter Meadow designer paper is in low inventory; grab it while you can here.

  • Last day of the Seasonal Stock up Sale! Meandering Meadows surprise Accordion card with free project sheet & video


    Today is the last day of the Seasonal 'Stock up' Sale. I sure appreciate getting a discount on consumable items like card stock, ink refills and markers!  

    ~~~

    The Meandering Meadows designer paper is gorgeous with it's water-colored scenes.  I shared three card ideas on last week's live video.  

    This one is actually a fun fold card.  It sure doesn't look like it though!

    I used a wide strip of Blueberry Bushel and a narrow strip of Balmy Blue on the front. The designer paper is actually most of the front of this card. Here's the inside view: 

    See how the back of the front layer of designer paper is revealed here?  There is a full 11" X 4 1/4" piece of accordion folded card stock between the front and back layers.  It's a very cool design that's also easy to make.  

    *Download or print the free project sheet here: Download Meandering Meadows surprise accordion card

    I really like how it shows both sides of our double-sided designer series paper.  It also gives you lots of layers to stamp or decorate.  I kept mine quite simple. 

    I used my favorite greeting set in the 2023 Holiday catalog; So Sincere.  See it here. It's a gem! The tag die-cut is from the Tailor Made Tags seen here. 

    You can see a glimpse of each sheet in the photo below.  It's 6 X 6" in size and filled with watercolor scenes. This type of designer paper allows you to let the pretty scenes do the work for you. Click here to see it.
