Stamps, Coasters, Ink, Packages, Invitations, You provide the food!
From Shelli's blog...One item—the blitz box—was a kind of a fun origami project. We used it for chips. I’m departing from my usual approach and providing a pattern for that, because it was kind of different. I got the pattern from a good friend. (But don’t start expecting patterns and instructions for everything I post!) It works perfectly as a holder for any dry munchies, such as popcorn, cookies, chips, nuts, etc.

5th Avenue Floral Boxed Set

I LOVE IT!She was my inspiration! What a beautiful set. I really like the 5th Avenue Floral set now. Thanks to Dunja for lending it to me until I can get my own! Also I am in love with the Urban Oasis designer papers now too! I am so going to miss Baja Breeze at the end of June when it is no longer available! I ordered a Sizzix Button Sizzlit and used my Big Shot to make the buttons! Even though i absolutely L O V E buttons and have hoarded them since childhood in a restaurant size pickle jar I thought it would be more fun and economical to make my own. My stamping friends always tell me I don't use a lot of stamps that can be coloured in. I just seem to be attracted to the solid images more for some reason. Check it out! I will be offering this class at the Saturday Camp Crop-A-Lot on June 13th. I used items from my recycling bin to make the box as well as a paper cutter, patience, adhesive and my word window punch. I hope you like it as much as i do! Thank-you Andrea Walford for your designs! All images copyright Stampin'Up!

Inpired by Stampin'Success!

I absolutely love this card so I made three! Stampin'Sucess is demonstrator magazine sent out to us monthly by Stampin'Up! It's full of product information, techniques, suggestions and samples. It inspires and motivates! I look forward to seeing it in my mailbox every month even though it is available earlier on line. There is nothing like holding that paper for me! I save every one of them. The aren't very fat but they are very full! A similar card was featured with instructions but no photos except the front using some of the same and some different stamps sets here. I love how it 'pops'It's not as complicated as the one in our magazine but it was very challenging! I used my home made glimmer mist, my corner rounder, blender pens, a Sizzix Big Shot die called Scribbles & Swirls. Also I used some Kiwi Kiss, Baja Breeze, Pink Pirouette Cardstock as well as some Pretty in Pink Gingham ribbon. The Stampin'Up! stamp sets I used include Fifth Avenue Floral, God's Beauty(hostess) and Great Friend

Designs by Dunja

Spinner Card

inspired by one belonging to Elaine and another by Jessie at Cherish the Thought Scrapbooking Store in Port Moody improved by my new friend extraordinaire Kindergarten teacher and mother of four Susan. I saw Elaine's version on Alison Solven's blog Stamp Crazy after I made one with Jessie and was trying to decide how I would make mine. I knew I wanted to use patterned paper instead of stamps but still wanted to do some stamping. I used a hostess set from last year called Best Yet and another set that was featured in a mini catalogue called Sage Advice that my husband got me when I was still a Stampin'Up! customer. The papers are from the Spring~Summer Idea Book & Catalogue and are called Good Morning Sunshine! I love those designer papers. I used Old Olive and Summer Sun cardstock with a little bit of Apricot Appeal Ribbon and the Pumpkin Rhinestone Brads. You can't see the pretty and striking colour of the brads in this photo unfortunately. They just look like the clear ones. All images copyright Stampin'Up!

Take Ten

Inspired by Take Ten magazine a publication that features cards made in 10 minutes or less. Here's what I came up with. Ten minutes isn't a lot of time!

Can you tell I love Gray

I thought this was kind of cute. It came from this website.

Sign up to be a Stampin'Up! Demonstrator!

During economically challenging times, most of us tighten our budgets. Some expenditures that were once comfortable might now stretch a budget thin. We don't want anyone's efforts to budget wisely to become a barrier to joining Stampin' Up, especially considering the wonderful benefits--personal and economical--being a demonstrator can bring. This is why we're working on a Three Easy Payments option for the Starter Kit. For a limited time, with a partial initial payment, a new recruit can receive her Starter Kit and get her business running. Two subsequent monthly payments take care of the rest.
We'll follow up with details soon, before the end of Sale-A-Bration. It could make all the difference for both of us!
Until the end of March choose any retail stamp set (a value up to $56.95) from the current catalogue when signing up during the promotion. Plus, get 15% off the regular $249 price of the Starter Kit--that's $410 worth of products for only $209!
Benefits of becoming a demonstrator:

* The value of the Starter Kit--Valued at over $410, the Starter Kit is a steal for only $249!
* 20% discount on all products.
* See and purchase new Stampin' Up! products first.
* Access to myriad of project ideas on the Demonstrator Web Site and in
the monthly Stampin' Success magazine.
* Invitation to Stampin' Up! events, where you can learn with successful demonstrators and Stampin' Up! staff.
* Become part of a world-wide stamping family!

One more month for SAB

Love these papers that will be featured in the Occasions mini April 2009
Check out these cards made with products from the Sale-A-Bration brochure!

Coming Soon...

Announcement

* Beginning in July 2009, we will go back to an annual catalogue.
* The Décor Elements catalogue will continue to be separate from the Idea Book & Catalogue, and will come out twice a year.
* The mini catalogue program will change to include three mini catalogues a year, each lasting for four months.

In addition to the changes mentioned above, we will be introducing a small selection of hostess sets in each mini catalogue. This will give your customers even more reason to host multiple workshops throughout the year.
