WOW: Half Price Starter Kit!!!!

Well, Stampin' Up! has done it again! What do you call it when you get over $375 in crafting and business supplies for only $107.50? You can call it an amazing deal, but we're calling it an amazing opportunity! From November 15-30, you can purchase either our Standard or Digital+ Starter Kits at 50 percent off the regular retail price of $215 (plus free shipping!), and enjoy these great benefits as a Stampin' Up!® demonstrator.


(Food for thought: If you've ever toyed with purchasing My Digital Studio, the starter kit is actually CHEAPER than the program itself!!! How amazing is that??? And if you love MDS, each $1.25 download (or more) and all your printing go toward your quarterly minimums!)

THIS IRRESISTIBLE OFFER IS ONLY AVAILABLE UNTIL NOVEMBER 30, 2010, SO CONTACT ME BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!

If you decide you'd like to give this a try, there is no obligation! You can simply enjoy the amazing products at a HUGELY reduced rate and never do anything beyond this. You can make personal purchases and enjoy the constant 20% discount (and 30% off your first order!). You can give the business opportunity a shot and earn a bit of extra income to help cover your purchases. Or you can give it your all and make this a full time business. Stampin' Up! has room for ALL kinds of demonstrators!

You may be asking yourself, what are some of the benefits to being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator. Here are just a few of the many perks:
· Earn additional income while sharing creativity.
· Make new and lasting friendships.
· Enjoy access to nearly unlimited creative ideas.
· Receive a free subscription to an exclusive monthly magazine.
· Receive two free months subscription to your own business website.
· Opportunity to earn free products and incentive trips.

You may also be wondering, what does it take to remain a Stampin' Up! demonstrator. If you decide to join our team and it isn't for you, no big deal! You'll never have to have anything sent back, or return anything or pay anything! After you "drop" you simply won't get access to the Stampin' Up! website and you'll no longer get the magazines mailed to you:) So, here's what it takes:
•You have to sell (or buy:) $400 per quarter. This can be done in one order or a 100! If you're considering this, $400 is typically one workshop or one class every three months!
•Your first quarter doesn't end until March (which means you have about 4 months to reach this minimum!)
•Signing up now will allow you to partake in the Sale-a-bration perks of being a demonstrator....who doesn't love free stamps!!!
•Signing up now also allows you to participate in the preorder of our next mini catalogue and Sale-a-bration preorders!!!

Who Would've Thought...

...that you could make a nice Christmas card from a leaf!!!  This was one of the cards we made at my monthly stamp night last night.  It is very simple but the idea is really cool and shows a way to use a stamp set in a different way.  We used the set French Foliage which is in the Holiday Mini and is meant more for Fall and Thanksgiving cards.  By using the small leaf, we created a Christmas wreath just by stamping it in a circle and adding the 'splat' stamp as the berries. 

The cardstock colours are Real Red, Pear Pizzazz, and Very Vanilla.  Ink is Pear Pizzazz and Real Red.  The ribbon is Real Red grosgrain  and the greeting is from the set Four the Holidays.

Didn't Make the Cut

*Please be sure to take a minute to remember all those who have fought and are still fighting for us today.*

So I was creating the projects for my monthly stamp night and I set out to create a card using one of the new Letterpress Dies called Joyful Season.  I also wanted to incorporate Stampin' Up!s great fabric and when I got finished, the card just wasn't good enough for my girls to create.  I am not that happy with this card but maybe you have some suggestions for me?!?!?!

The cardstock is Real Red and Whisper White.  The fabric is called Candy Cane and I even put a glitter brad in the center...everything I wanted to use but it just seems boring to me.  I really wanted to showcase all 3 items but I guess it is back to the drawing board, or rather creating board for me!

You are Invited...

Awesome Weekend!

This past weekend we had our first Christmas Stamp Camp and it was lots of fun!!!  I think that everyone enjoyed themself and enjoyed the projects that we made.  Everyone went home with a door prize and lots of new ideas for things to make.  Here are some pictures of the day.
