Downline!

I want to send a special welcome to the Stampin' Up! Family to my first downline Kylene Humphreys. She's more than just a downline in the SU! family, she's actual family; my sister-in-law. Welcome Kylene! It's going to be a fun road from here!

Big News!

If you're considering becoming a demonstrator and the upfront cost is just a little out of reach right now, you're in luck. Stampin' Up! announced on Saturday that they are offering a 3 Easy Payment option until April 30. If you act fast and get your paperwork in before March 31, you will still get the 15% Sale-a-Bration discount and a free stamp set of your choice. A $47.95 value. The online sign-up does not qualify for the 3 Easy payments, you have to fill out and mail in the paperwork. I would be happy to email you if you're interested, or if you're local, I'd be happy to deliver it in person. If I can answer any questions please don't hesitate to contact me!

Hostess Gift

I always like to make my hostesses a little something to say Thank You for booking a workshop or class with me. I downloaded the template for the box from the demonstrator side of the Stampin' Up! website (a huge perk for being a demonstrator), printed it on some Rose Red cardstock, cut it, scored it, and tied it together with some linen thread. Super easy project, and super cute! I put some skittles in one of our cello bags and tied it with a little ribbon.

I also made her this bookmark. I showed one in a previous post. The giant paper clip is from Staples. I wish they made them in Silver. I know they have big silver ones at Wal-Mart, but they're not as sturdy. I think it turned out pretty good. She liked it and that's all that matters. Thanks again Laura!

Four Square Stamp Set

I was challenged by a hostess to come up with a card that could be customized for more than one occasion. Not everybody wants to make just a Thank You card or a Happy Birthday card. Well, this is what I came up with. I used the Four Square Stamp Set, I never really looked at it in the catalog before, but I'm so glad that I have it now. It covers quite a few occasions. I took some of the idea for the card from the catalog and tweaked it a bit. For demonstration purposes I stamped and layered all of the sentiments separately and put them on velcro so that they could be interchanged so the class-goers could see exactly what it would look like with the stamp that they chose. Most of them chose the Hi. I'll be posting the other projects over the next couple of days, stay tuned. Supplies:
Stamps: Four Square
Ink: Riding Hood Red
Paper: Riding Hood Red, Bashful Blue, Pumpkin Pie, Whisper White, Washington Apple
