Being a Stampin Up Demonstrator has some perks, like being able to buy products before they are released to the public and earning free products and free vacations just to name a few. But did you know that the top sellers in the Company get a very special perk? When you reach $1,000,000 in sales, you get to design your own stamp set, which will then appear in a future catalog. How cool is that! Today's stamp set was designed by Angie Juda and … [Read more...] about Five Minute Friday – Bella & Friends
OnStage April 2016 – Delightful Dijon
Today I’m back to sharing projects that I made for the Display Boards at OnStage this past April. All of today’s projects use the color Delightful Dijon. You can read about some of my other projects here: Tip Top Taupe, Watermelon Wonder, and Mint Macaron. First up is my 3D project. I used the now retired Fry Box Bigz die to make this beautiful floral wall hanging. I found these lovely silk geraniums at a local craft store and they paired … [Read more...] about OnStage April 2016 – Delightful Dijon
Clear Treat Boxes
I have to admit, I didn’t even notice these little 2"x2" treat boxes the first time I went through my catalog. But then I saw that the current Artisan team was using them last month in their Blog Hop and I knew I had to get them on my next order. These fun little boxes are a great size to give someone a little treat without having to buy tons of stuff to fill a big box. They make a nice thank you to someone who did something for you that you … [Read more...] about Clear Treat Boxes
Five Minute Friday – Balloons!
Today’s post is going to be short and sweet since my to-do list is growing at an exponential pace. Literally. For every one item I cross off, at least three more items get added. My to-do list is like bunnies – multiplying in the blink of an eye. So, I really needed a card that can be made in five minutes today. Thank goodness it just happens to be Five Minute Friday. Kind of serendipitous how that worked out. :) When it comes to the … [Read more...] about Five Minute Friday – Balloons!
Pin-spiration
I love Pinterest. When I first started using Pinterest, I was on it ALL. THE. TIME. No, seriously I was. Just ask my friends who followed me on Pinterest. I had to quit cold turkey several years ago when I realized I had over 20,000 pins. No, that is NOT a typo. I spent crazy amounts of time spent pinning. Obviously. The past several months I have been easing back into Pinterest because I love the purpose that it serves. Pinterest is an … [Read more...] about Pin-spiration
Designer Tin of Cards
Before I jump into today's post...just a reminder that the Host Code changed today. You can find the current Host Code in the right-hand sidebar right below the Order Online button. This weekend, I finally had a chance to put together the Designer Tin of Cards Kit. I have to say this kit is pretty nice and it's a great price. The kit is only $27 for the tin, dividers, and the 16 cards. That works out to about $1.60 cost per card. What an … [Read more...] about Designer Tin of Cards

For the past several days, Stampin Up has been sharing some sneak peeks at products in the upcoming Holiday Catalog and let me tell you there are some really good things coming very soon. I can’t reveal anything just yet. But as a Demonstrator I get to start ordering some of these goodies next week and I cannot wait to get them. It’s almost better than Christmas. It’s Christmas craft supplies! Until I can share the new goodies, I’m sharing … [Read more...] about Five Minute Friday – Twice The Jolly
Only 150 More Days Until…
Christmas! Do you know why we associate the poinsettia with Christmas? The plant's association with Christmas began in 16th-century Mexico with a story about a little girl. She looked forward to the annual Christmas festival but could not afford to buy a gift to take to the festival. On Christmas Eve, she set out for church to attend the service and picked some weeds along the way. She placed the weeds in the manger as her gift to the baby … [Read more...] about Only 150 More Days Until…
