I just got back from Stampin' Up!'s Leadership Conference in San Antonio, Texas - I'll be sharing more samples and fun pictures from that in the next few days. I really enjoy being a demonstrator - and if you'd like to be able to earn an income doing something you enjoy, this is a GREAT time to become a Stampin' Up! demonstrator. The starter kit price is reduced to $150 - great value and a great start off for your business - plus all new demonstrators will receive either a free package of Designer Series Paper OR a free digital download every month for the rest of the year! You're not locked in, either - you can start with a Designer Series Paper Pack, and the next month, you can select a digital download to use with My Digital Studio software or other photo editing software.
If you'd like more information on becoming a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, browse the information HERE, CONTACT ME or join me at my free Information Evening - the next one is TOMORROW - Wednesday, January 25, at 7pm here in Burlington. RSVP for directions.
I'm attending Stampin' Up!'s Leadership Conference in January 2012 - I'm looking forward to attending this annual event for business builders, as I haven't attended in a few years. As a perk - I can offer you a special deal for TODAY and TOMORROW ONLY!! If you sign up as a Canadian Stampin' Up! demonstrator with my team by tomorrow evening, you can receive your starter kit at a discount, PLUS receive your choice of either a package of Designer Series Paper or 11 free digital downloads! Your starter kit will only be $150 for almost $250 worth of crafting AND business supplies. You will be ready to go right away, and will be able to share the fun of Sale-a-Bration as a demonstrator, when it officially starts in January.
Click HERE and click on "JOIN NOW" to take advantage of this special offer - but remember, it expires tomorrow at 11:50 Mountain Time. Contact me if you have any questions - don't miss out on your chance to Sale-a-Brate early!
This is a fun birthday card created using some of the free product you can receive during Sale-a-Bration!
The image is from the set Bring on the Cake - in Stampin' Up!'s Occasions Mini Catalogue. Inked in Pacific Point, I removed the ink from the flames of the candles and re-inked with a Stampin' Write marker before stamping onto the cardstock. The Designer Series Paper is from the Ice Cream Parlour Designer Series Paper and Quick Accents Pack, and the ribbon is from the Ice Cream Parlour Ribbon & Button Pack. Either of these bundles can be chosen with each $60 in merchandise order. The Scallop Trim Border Punch echoes the scallop on the cake plate in the image.
You still have time to Sale-a-Brate...you can place an online order HERE (click on SHOP NOW) or contact me directly to place your order or book a workshop!

...until
the end of this year's Sale-a-Bration... SAB ends at the end of
March. We had a full extra month (well, minus one hour!!) for SAB this
year - how did you like that? If you're like me, you've probably left
things to the end of the time frame!! You can still place orders
online HERE (click on ORDER NOW), or you can
contact me by email. With your $65 merchandise order (before
shipping/taxes) you can select a Sale-a-Bration product for free.
Don't forget that besides the fun goodies in the SAB catalogue, there
is a list of items from the large Idea Book & Catalogue that you
may select.
This fun sample was featured on the demonstrator side of the Stampin'
Up! website (there's a whoooole side of information & inspiration
there for us!) - I love the idea of using different sized punch outs to
create some extra texture on the cardfront. This card features the
Happy Moments set - see how the packages are actually paper pieced?
You stamp your image on different cardstocks or designer series paper,
then cut out the images and reassemble them.
I hope that you're enjoying your March Break (for those of you to whom it applies...) - and maybe getting some craft time in for yourself?!
Stampin' Up!'s Sale-a-Bration is on now - with every qualifying purchase ($60 merchandise), you may select a SAB product for FREE! So far, this set has proven to be the most popular amongst my customers - Polka Dot Punches. Each of the stamps coordinates with a punch, making impressive cards and scrapbook pages a cinch!
Here, we used the heart stamp, heat embossed with gold embossing powder onto pink pirouette and baja breeze cardstocks, then punched out with the full heart punch. Mounted onto brushed gold metallic cardstock, backed with basic black cardstock and then onto a mellow moss card. The sentiment is from the Upsy Daisy set, again heat embossed in gold.
I'm looking forward to all my SAB workshops, and there's still space in the Crazy For Cupcakes class. Check out the classes page - there's now Paypal links to instantly pay and confirm your spot in the class! The personal touch reservation still applies, too - feel free to contact me by email or phone to save your spot!
