Beautiful Season

Hi Stampers

I love the Beautiful Season Stamp Set and all the beautiful cards out there in bloggerland but I never got around to ordering it!   Then I remember that it was recently offered as a digital download (The Beautiful Season Stamp Brush Set) and purchased it that way.  I love it! - It was so much less expensive and no sales tax/nor shipping.   And best of all, no waiting for it to arrive!

I haven't finished the inside as yet because I wanted to take pictures and post it today.  The inside will say "Thinking of you at Christmas".  This sentiment is also from the same stamp brush set.  I used the Labels Collection Framelits Die again for this card.   The framelits are to die for and I hope they have many more in the new catalog coming out in July 2012!

Wednesday, 14 December 2011 is the last day that the Starter Kit is being offered for $125.00.  If you join during this special you will also receive a FREE pkg of DSP or digital download for every month you place an order during 2012 - how cool is that!  Click here for all the details. 

Thursday, 15 December 2011 is the last day for my free shipping and 20% discount on the items from the Holiday Mini Catalog!

Thanks for stopping by today

Supplies:

Paper:  Very Vanilla Card Stock (101650), Marina Mist Card Stock, Early Espresso Card Stock (119686), Letters to Santa Designer Series Paper (122349)

Stampin' Up! needs all kinds of demonstrators...

If you choose to become a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator you don’t have to do what I do.  You can be any of these:

Which one would you be?

• Discount Demonstrator:  Likes the idea of buying stamps for personal use at a 20 percent discount and occasionally sells to neighbors, relatives, and friends.
• Short-Term Demonstrator:  Sells for a short period of time to earn a specified amount of money and stops when the goal is reached.
• Seasonal Demonstrator:  Works hard at the business during September, October, and November for seasonal money and maintains minimum orders and sales during the balance of the year.
• Hobby Demonstrator:  Loves doing workshops and earning extra money when it’s convenient; works a lot some months and very little other months; likes to do workshops that are easy to book; doesn’t like to work too hard to book workshops.
• Career Demonstrator:  Views a Stampin’ Up! demonstratorship as a viable business with long-term career potential; pursues management and wants to move up the career ladder; loves attending Stampin’ Up! events and has developed close social relationships with other demonstrators; works at her business in a consistent and outgoing manner.

As you can see, this is a flexible, fun business you can build to suit your needs and desires.  Make it fit for you by using your unique talents and style. A lot of people join up just to get the discounts – I know that’s why I did it when I first joined! There’s nothing wrong with taking advantage of the extra discounts and advanced notice you’ll receive as a demo, and then leaving when you’ve met your personal goals if that's what you want to do.  I turned this into a profitable business and if you would like to do the same, I will show you how.  It is not easy and does require work but the results are well worth it.

If any of these ideas appeal to you, ask me for more information about becoming a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator & joining The Ink Abouts family (demonstrators from Maine to Hawaii). 

If you have any questions, EMAIL me or call me at (479) 876-7453

Take Stampin' Up! Demo Benefits for a Test Drive!

With all the the buzz about the amazing 50% off the Starter Kit deal, there are lots of questions.  What I love about this Stampin' Up! opportunity is that, as a hobby or career demonstrator, purchasing the kit allows you to try out demonstrator benefits and discounts without any requirement to sell or hold workshops.

If your motive is simply to get the kit, it's OK!  The offer ends Nov. 30.   However, please don't wait until the last minute to avoid any technical issues in signing up on-line.

TAKE A TEST DRIVE:  The Stampin' Up! Starter Kit offers you $300+ in products and lots of choices.  PLUS, you get the benefit of taking Stampin' Up! demonstrator discounts and benefits for a "test drive" through the end of the first FULL quarter--with no obligation.

Check out these tips:

• There are two Starter Kits to choose from.  Here are the contents of the Standard Starter Kit and the Digital Starter Kit.  One is sure to be right for you!  Normally $175, BOTH kits are $87.50 thu Nov. 30 and ship FREE!
• You can substitute like items of equal or less value.  This includes choices from the current Mini Catalog.  Wood-mount stamps can be replaced with clear-mount and vice versa as long as they are equal or less value.
• When you purchase the Starter Kit, you become a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator and member of my Golden Girls.   You are NOT required to purchase anything further, hold workshops or sell products.
• You receive Stampin' Up! demonstrator discounts and benefits through the end of the next FULL quarter. Stampin' Up! quarters are January-March, April-June, July-September, October-December.
• IF you want to remain active and continue demonstrator discounts and benefits beyond the end of the next FULL quarter, you would need $300 in product sales (which includes your own purchases, customer and workshop orders).  This extends your benefits through the following quarter. $300 in sales per quarter is required to remain continuously active.
• There's never a penalty to drop and you keep all the discounted products you purchase.
• Many members of my Stampin' Pretty Pals are hobby stampers. They buy exclusively for themselves.  I'm cool with that :)
• It's an honor for me to welcome both hobby and business demonstrators stampers to my group.  I provide support for both.

Hi Stampers

 
Only two days left to join my team.  Such a fabulous deal!  Get over $310 worth of Stampin' UP! stuff for ONLY $87.50 and YOU get to pick which stamps, inks and card stock you want! 

SERIOUSLY Santa came way early with this OFFER.  It is time to JUMP on it now.  Buy the KIT as a gift.  Tell your Hubby or loved one all you want for Christmas is  the 50% off Stampin' Up! Starter Kit.

Call me at (479) 876-7453 or e-mail me at [email protected] and I'll answer any questions or concerns you may have.

Now onto today's card!  I am so excited at the way this card turned out.  I printed out the sentiment (with image) using my Digital Studio and finished it off using the Deck the Halls DSP (50% off right now) on Soft Suede Card Stock.  Isn't it gorgeous? 

 
The image was colored using Old Olive and Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Write Markers.  I used Victoria 5/8 Crochet Trim under the Deck the Halls DSP - you can see it peaking out on the left side of the DSP.  The ribbon under the sentiment is the Always Artichoke Seam Binding (love this binding - it is so soft).  I used the heat tool on it until it started to curl.  Such a quick and easy card, yet elegant.  This is definitely my style!

Hi Stampers

 
This is the second card the ladies will be making at the New Techniques Class on Friday.  I like the sky and clouds so much better than in the first one which you can view here.  There's one spot left for the Friday class - if you live in the Bella Vista, AR area and would like to attend, click here for the registration information.

 
I made the sky using a scallop circle punched out from the Scallop Circle punch.  Bashful Blue was sponged on the Naturals White Card Stock using the sponge dauber.  The owls were punched out from Chocolate Chip Card Stock and the vests for the owls are punched out using the retired DSP called Pawstively Prints from the Occasions Mini Catalog.  The sentiment is from the Smarty Pants Stamp Set.

• Don't forget about the blog contest which ends on Friday, 15 October 2010.  Still time to play!  All the details are here....
• The Craft Tote (a must have) promotion ends on 18 October 2010.  For all the details, click here.

Thanks for stopping by today and please leave a comment if you can!  I love to read your comments - they make me feel so warm and fuzzy!

Business Women's Day

Hi Stampers

Today is Business Women's Day.  September 22 marks the 1949 founding date of the American Business Women's Association, the mission of which is "to bring together businesswomen of diverse occupations and to provide opportunities for them to help themselves and others grow personally and professionally through leadership; education, networking support and national recognition.

At this point, you are asking "what does this have to do with stamping?" Everything!  I started stamping because I was looking for a creative outlet.  I was a hobby demonstrator for about two years and then decided to take it to the next level.  I've been fairly successful in the last couple of years and consider myself a businesswoman who owns a paper-craft business.

One  of my favorite things about being a businesswoman with Stampin' Up! is the people you meet and network with at all levels.  From my customers, to my down-line, to other demonstrators, to the Stampin' Up! Staff, you interface with  - they are the nicest, friendliest people in the world. 

The next favorite thing about being a businesswoman  is you determine how successful you want to be.  You can be a hobby demo or a successful demo with a down-line of 500 people!  It's all up to you.

Other reasons I love being a businesswoman with Stampin' Up!

• Additional Income (I love the extra money!)
• Discount on purchases (what the heck, I spend it on stamps, might as well get a discount!)
• Recognition:  Love the bonuses from SU
• Networking:  Regionals, leadership and convention are so much fun but they are also full of business tips and techniques.

Join my team and find out how much fun it is to love what you do!  Contact me at [email protected] or (479) 876-7453.

Speaking of bonuses!  Sign up this month and get this gorgeous FREE Craft Tote Bag ($39.00 Value).   It matches the  Greenhouse Gala Designer Series Paper.  In additional to that, I will give you any stamp set in the Catalog or Mini Catalog if you sign up by 30 September 2010.
