IT'S A GREAT TIME TO JOIN STAMPIN' UP!

If you visit my blog regularly, you know that I love to share cards made by other Stampin' Up! Demonstrators. For me, one of the biggest perks of being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator is that I always have an endless stream of creative ideas from other Stampin' Up! Demonstrators. Of course, there are online Stampin' Up! Demonstrator groups that have great ideas; but for me,our demonstrator group that meets every month to share our creative talents and ideas with one another is my first love! It is so wonderful to get together and chat about business and life while we enjoy making lots of great stamped projects and cards. Of course, we always have snacks so we can keep our energy up!

Right now is a great time to join Stampin' Up! and my Stampin' Up! Demonstrator family. During Sale-a-bration the starter kit is only $125 (that's a $340 value, and it ships FREE)! Plus you get a FREE gift just for signing up (you can choose from a Package of Designer Series Paper or a Digital Download every month for the rest of 2012). When you join, you can choose and customize either the Standard Starter Kit or Digital Starter Kit to fit your personal stamping needs and current stamping inventory.

If you aren't sure being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator is for you, just give it a try! You can join Stampin' Up! now and receive all the demonstrator discounts and benefits thru June 30, 2012 with no obligation to purchase anything further or host workshops. There's no penalty to drop!

Whether you want to be a business demonstrator or a hobby demonstrator, you will enjoy tons of demonstrator benefits from Stampin' Up! AND when you join as part of my downline family, you can attend any classes or workshops I offer for FREE and take part in all the demonstrator events/activities I offer.

MORE OUTLINED OCCASIONS!

This is a "mini-pizza box" Keri shared with us at our last demonstrator get together. It holds 3x3 cards, and makes a perfect "little something" for a special "little someone"!

For the box Keri used Early Espresso Card Stock; the Bird Builder Punch with some Baja Breeze Card Stock; the Bigs XL Tasteful Trim Die for the Big Shot with some Cherry Cobbler Card Stock and the Fashionable Hearts Embosslits Big Shot Die (available in the Occasions Mini Catalog) with some Calypso Coral Card Stock. She added some Calypso Coral Everyday Enchantment Ribbon (available FREE in the SAB Catalog) to "accessorize" her box beautifully.

And here's the little 3x3 card that goes inside the box!

For this cute little 3x3 card, Keri used the Scallop Square Bigz Clear Die for the Big Shot with some Cherry Cobbler Card Stock. And she stamped the "love" from the Outlined Occasions Stamp Set (available FREE in the SAB Catalog) and colored it with Baja Breeze and Cherry Cobbler Stamp-N-Write Markers. And, again, accessorized it with some Calypso Coral Everyday Enchantment Ribbon (available FREE in the SAB Catalog).

YOU CAN PURCHASE ALL THE SUPPLIES FOR THIS GREAT GIFT HERE!

OUTLINED OCCASIONS MEETS "THAT MICHELLE"!

Sale-A-Bration is always my favorite time of year~I love FREE stuff! And this year Stampin' Up! has great products for FREE in their SAB Catalog. Here is an adorable sample of a cute little gift/goodie bag "That Michelle" shared with us at our demonstrator get together this month.

For her bag, she used Sahara Sand Card Stock with the Bigz XL Fancy Favor Box Die and tied it up with some Riding Hood Red 1/2" Stitched-Poly Ribbon. She used the Labels Collection Framelits Die for the Big Shot to cut the shape out of the middle of her box and then stamped the word "love" from the Outlined Occasions Stamp Set (FREE in the SAB Catalog) onto Very Vanilla Card Stock and then colored in the image with a Riding Hood Red Stamp-N-Write Marker. Of course, we stuffed our bags with chocolate for the perfect treat!!

PAPER DOILLY LARGE SIZZLITS DIE!

This is a card I made with my Morning Madness Group and shared with my Demonstrator friends. It was a big hit.

I combined the Large Sizzlits Paper Doilly Die from the Occasions Mini Catalog with the Fresh Vintage Stamp Set from the Sale-A-Bration Catalog. This made a very elegant sympathy card.
