I joined Stampin’ UP! as a demontrator in November 2010 – it was one of the best decisions I made. It allowed me to express my creativity using high quality, coordinating products. It has also allowed me to meet new people with whom I have become friends.
I believe in sharing what I do and introducing people to card crafting and seeing the joy on their face when they create their first card. I chose to develop a business for myself but that is not a requirement, read on for some more information 🙂
I was asked the other day what the difference was between ‘Cling’ stamps and ‘Photopolymer’ Stamps – and that is a very good question. After nearly 10 years as an SU demo I tend to forget there are folks that are new to this wonderful craft!
Basically they each do the same job – produces beautiful images for your crafting delight, they are made from different materials you just handled them a little differently. So today’s post explains how to handle them, attach labels, attach to acrylic blocks and keep them clean.
It is that time of the year again – a brand new catalog with brand new in-colors, stamp sets, punches, embellishments and ribbons……………… to name but a few!
It is also a bit of a celebration for me as well as this is my 1000th post!
I am using the ever versatile Note Cards and Envelopes for my cards today which is one I sent out to my customers with their copy of the new catalog. It features Lovely You Stamp Set with the coordinating Lovely Labels Pick a Punch ~ which you are going to love!
WOW – the new 2020 -2022 In- colors will be launched later this week and once again I am offering you the chance to get the full collection of these colors without breaking the bank!!!

Welcome to June! I often share where my inspiration comes from – today my color combination is from a scarf I wear as an accent during the winter months (too hot to wear scarves during North Texas summer months) I was putting it on one day and recognized Petal Pink then Smoky Slate and so today’s card was born!
I have used a very simple, asymmetric, fold that showcases the Positive Thoughts Stamp Set along with the stunning Petal Pink Organdy Stripped Ribbon which made me fall in love with Petal Pink in the first place!
Once again I am thrilled to be taking part in the Ink . Stamp . Share blog hop, we are a group of Stampin’ Up!®️Demonstrators from around the globe here to bring you inspiration through creativity!
You will have either arrived from Dana’s post or starting here ~ either way WELCOME . This month’s theme is NEW CATALOG SNEAK PEAK ~ where we are sharing some of the new products from Stampin’ UP!’s 2020 – 2021 Annual Catalog.
On May 21st Stampin’ UP! held a Day of Service and invited as many people to join in with them as could get onto the facebook page. They provided instructions with a template and used the Share Sunshine PDF – which is stuffed full of greetings reflecting encouraging sayings perfect for lifting the spirits of folks while we are coping with the restrictions to keep us all safe during the terrible COVID 19 pandemic. You can still purchase the Share Sunshine, it will be available until June 2nd ~ ALL proceeds go to a COVID 19 fund!! So far they have raised over $200,000!!!
I made 20 cards from the supplies – all of them different, using the Woven Threads DSP, lots of embellishments and some punches. They have all now been distributed to customers and friends.:-) #ShareSunshine
I cannot remember a time in my life that I have been bored – there has always been something for me to do ranging from reading, weeding my flower beds, baking bread or cakes, sewing on a button, even clearing out a cupboard or drawer or crafting – I think all of these are ‘creative’ in some way so I have really loved the Crafting Forever Stamp set particularly the ‘Do Something Creative Every Day” greeting.
Today’s card uses just this stamp along with the Daisy and Medium Daisy Punches. The Crafting Forever Stamp set is about to retire along with the Gold Faceted Gems I used for the center of my daisy!
Shaker Cards are such a lot of fun, especially for children but I am sure an adult would enjoy one as well! It was our youngest granddaughters birthday last week so I thought a fun card would be just perfect, particularly as she will not be having a party with friends and extended family this year.
We later found out that she wanted an ‘elephant’ cake for her birthday – which her talented parents made for her – so the Birthday Bonanza DSP, with the cute animals, I used for her card turned out to be in the right theme!
