Only 2 Weeks Left for the Stampin’ Up! Joining Special

Posted on by
Reply

Good Friday afternoon stamping friends. We made it through the week, and the weekend is right around the corner. I hope you are all starting to make some plans. We are in full swing Autumn here in NJ. It’s a little cooler than I like, but I’m loving all the beautiful fall colors on the trees. I’ve got yellow trees in my back yard and purple/red in the front.

A little over 7 years ago I made the best decision ever and joined the Stampin’ Up! community. I’m part Amy’s Inkin’ Krew which is the best team you would ever want to be on. There’s never any pressure to sell, we all just love stamping and sharing. I have made more friends than I’ve had my entire life, and my heart couldn’t be any fuller. One of the best things is when we all get together at the Retreat (which I’ll be going on next week) or meeting up at OnStage, and getting together on Zoom every month. We all have so much fun together sharing what we have a passion for, stamping. Whether it’s in person or on Zoom, we always laugh and have a great time together. Pictured below are only a few from the team that were able to make it to NC in March for OnStage. When we’re all together we laugh till our sides ache and just enjoy each other’s company.

Tara and I (pictured below) have such a wonderful friendship that I never thought I’d have. Tara is from MO and I’m from NJ, but we are able to get together a couple times a year, and we offer Online Classes together each month. We talk and text on a regular basis sometimes just to see how each other are. I can’t wait to see her again next week at the retreat. If you love stamping and love sharing and would love to be a part of this amazing stamping friendship community, why not think about joining us. I’d be more than happy to help you get signed up. Join as a hobby demonstrator and if you decide you want to sell to your family and friends then you can think about the business side. More than 90% of our team are hobby demos and do it to enjoy the discount for themselves. As a hobby demo you get to go to OnStage and enjoy all the other perks of being a demo.

Posted on by
Reply

Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. What kind of plans do you have for the weekend? I’m working today and planning on staying in tomorrow. We’re supposed to be getting all kinds of bad weather here in NJ this weekend. Sounds like a good time to stay in and catch up on my cards.

My Holiday Essential Pack is Back

My Holiday Essential Pack is back for ordering October 11 – 31. Everyone seemed to love this essential pack when I offered it in August so I thought I’d offer it again since Holiday card making is approaching fast.

I’m offering a Holiday Essential Pack to get those holiday cards made. Let’s get a head on making those Holiday cards this year. Get all your adhesives ordered now so you don’t run out while you’re in the middle of making those Holiday cards.

Each Kit will Include Full Packs of:

  • Adhesive Sheets
  • Liquid Glue
  • Mini Glue Dots
  • Stampin’ Dimensionals – 2 Packs
  • Stampin’ Seal
  • Stampin’ Seal Refill
  • Tear & Tape Adhesive
  • Linen Thread
  • Rhinestone Basic Jewels

If you were to order all this separately it would cost $65.25 + shipping. I’m offering it for $56.00 plus $9.00 for Priority Mail Shipping. All orders must be submitted by October 31st. I’ll be placing 2 separate orders, once on October 22 for the first group and a 2nd order on November 1st. Once everything arrives, I’ll package it up in a cut little bag and ship it out to you.

As an EXTRA BONUS for the 1st 10 people that order I’ll also throw in a pack of Basic White Medium Envelopes

Click Here to place your order for the Essential Pack Today!! Deadline to order is Friday October 31st

Stampin’ Up! Creative Haven for Fun Fold Friday

Posted on by

Good Friday afternoon stamping friends. I hope you all hd a great week and are looking forward to the weekend. The temperatures have dropped here in NJ. It was in the 30’s last night and my house just isn’t warming up today. I’m also too stubborn to ut the heat on yet.

I have a sneak peek for you of some new Online Exclusives coming in November. I just opened my box yesterday after I finished cutting up all my kits for my upcoming online class. I wasn’t letting myself look in the box because I knew what would happen. I kept the card super simple to let the DSP do most of the work. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Creative Haven Book Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusives Creative Haven Bundle and the Hobby Haven Specialty Designer Series Paper (both available November 1st) for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Creative Haven Book Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere the center section of the Cajun Craze card base with Liquid Glue to make the book fold card. Adhere the panels of Hobby Haven DSP to the coordinating Daffodil Delight mats with Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Creative Haven Book Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

Adhere the layered panels to the Cajun Craze card front using Stampin’ Seal.

Stampin' Up! Creative Haven Book Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

Cut a panel of Basic White using the Creative Haven Dies. Using the Small Blending Brush add some Daffodil Delight Ink to the die cut panel. Stamp the sentiment from the new Stampin’ Up! Creative Haven Photopolymer Stamp Set in Secret Sea Ink. Fussy cut a couple of the images from the Hobby Haven DSP and adhere them to the die cut panel. Adhere the sentiment panel to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Earthy Matte Dots (available November 1st) to the card front.

Stampin' Up! Creative Haven Book Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

Stamp the sentiment from the Creative Haven stamp set in Secret Sea Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the star image from the Creative Haven stamp set in Daffodil Delight Ink next to the sentiment. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Daffodil Delight mat then to the inside of the Cajun Craze card base.

Stampin' Up! Creative Haven Book Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com
