Convention Bound!

It's one of my FAVORITE times of the year...the Annual Stampin' Up! Convention in Salt Lake City! It's 4 days of new products, classes, make and takes, stamping and friendship with over 7,000 Demonstrators from the US and Canada.

I am much more relaxed this year, as last year I was a presenter! It was a great experience and I was honored they asked me, but it definitely was a different experience (as I was working and not able to socialize with my friends as much!). So, this year my friend Kimberly is a presenter and I know she is going to be AMAZING. (Just remember the depends, girl.) :0)

So while I am in SLC, I am participating in a Shoe Box Swap. That is when you design a card, cut up all the materials to make the card, and bring it with you in a plastic container. You pass the containers around the room, and everyone gets to make one of everyone's cards. It's kind of like when you come to stamp camp and I have everything ready for you...except this time, I get to stamp! :-) So, there are a lot of demo's participating in this swap, so the requirements are that the card has to be made in 5 minutes or less. So, here is what I came up with:

I chose the new set, For All You Do (can you tell it's one of my favorites?). I've got some Cottage Wall Designer Series Paper, and some Rich Razzelberry Polka Dot Grosgrain ribbon going on here. It's a simple card, but I love the color combo. I hope everyone else does too!

I leave on Tuesday and come back Sunday. I will post a few things while I am gone. I am sure I will have a lot of new stuff to share! Convention is definitely one of the perks of being a demonstrator. Where else can you go off with your friends for 5 days, stamp, scrap, with no men and no kids, and write it off as a tax deduction? :-)

Thanks for stopping by...go stamp something today!

For All You Do...

...this Bud's for you. (just kidding...) But do you remember that commercial (or am I dating myself)?

For All You Do is actually the Stamp Set featured in today's project. I saw this on another Demo's Blog, and loved it so much that I had to copy it myself!
Thanks so much to Julie Dinn for being the creative mind behind this projet.

This set includes a mini clipboard (4 1/2" x 9"), 4 note cards with envelopes, and the cutest tin to keep the cards in. The tin is embellished with some beautiful new ribbon, so it's almost like a little purse! Very cute!

The colors are gorgeous in this set...Rich Razzleberry and Pale Plum...along with some Rhinestone Brads to add a little bling. I used the Big Shot to add the Monogram. What a cute gift for someone special, or even a back to school teacher gift. The clipboard is mini, but the perfect size to hold a favorite picture. Here is a close-up of the note cards:

Here is the 411 on this class:

Benefits of Becoming a Demonstrator
Whether you just love to stamp, or you want to grow a successful, thriving business, the Stampin' Up! opportunity is the right fit for you. Stampin' Up! demonstrators enjoy many benefits, with just a few listed below:

1. Product discount. Demonstrators get a 20 percent discount on all Stampin' Up! products, including stamp sets, paper, and accessories. It's a great way to support your love of stamping and paper crafting.


2. Extra income. You'll earn extra income based on your sales and recruiting--how much extra income is up to you.

See the Compensation Table for more information.


3. Flexible schedule. This is your business, so you can put in as much (or as little) time as you'd like.

5. Me as your upline! I am here to guide and help you as much or as little as you wish. We have bi-monthly stamping get togethers with our group and have a lot of fun. Participation is optional of course, but once you attend once, you won't want to miss out again. :)

In this unstable economy, earning a few extra bucks each month is a good thing. And at Stampin' Up! you are your own boss, so no one can take away your job.

Save some money on your stamps, or make a few bucks for your family...the choice is yours. Drop me an email to learn more.

Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy your weekend. :0)

Soft Suede For All You Do

I love the earthy tone of the Soft Suede and Dusty Durango In Colors. Here I paired them with the Kraft cardstock for a simple card. I stamped the stems on the Kraft in Versamark ink for a tone on tone look. Then I inked the flowers in Dusty Durango and Soft Suede and stamped on Whisper White cardstock. I cut them out and attached to the card with a Stampin' Dimensional . A scallop edge accent in Soft Suede and a bit of Polka Dot grosgrain ribbon in Dusty Durango, and there you have it.

Have a great afternoon and enjoy the sun!

Bermuda Bay Razzle Dazzle

I adore this years new In Colors, and this one is certainly no exception. This color is Bermuda Bay, and it's gorgeous. I love the way it looks against the black on this card. And lets not forget about this delicious Polka Dot Grosgrain Ribbon. The other side of the ribbon is plain, so you really have more than one option.

This is a fun stamp set, called Razzle Dazzle. Alternating the direction of the stamp gives kind of a funky look to it. In fact, perfect for the teen's...I used this set for my daughters birthday invitation last month. :-)

Have a great day...now go stamp!
