Amazing New Starter Kit deal

 

There is an AMAZING new Starter Kit special going on right now.  The starter kit is always a great deal, but this special just takes things to a whole new level!   When you purchase a starter kit in May, you will get an additional $82 in new products added to your kit! And these are all new products, the new In Color products!  You will get all 5 new In Color Ink Pads, all 5 new In Color Markers, as well as a pack of new In Color Cardstock and a pack of new In Color Designer Series Paper. The rest of the starter kit is up to you.  To purchase a starter kit you pick ANY $125 worth of products, your choice. Get stamps, paper, a die cut machine, you decide. Then just pay $99 plus tax, and it ships FREE. The $82 in new In Color products will be added in.  That means that for $99 you will get $207 worth of products! Amazing.

You will then be a part of the Stampin' Up! demonstrator community.  You don't have to sell or demonstrate, but you can if you wish.  When I joined 15 years ago I joined to get the demo discount. This is the majority of demonstrators and it's a perfectly great reason to join, they are the life of Stampin' Up! If you choose, you can decide to promote Stampin' Up! in small ways by getting a couple friends together to stamp or craft and placing orders for them. Or you can build a business for yourself.  It's up to you. There are no forced purchases, not obligations.  You can purchase the starter kit and never purchase another thing.  But, I think you will find that there is a great community of demonstrators and idea sharing out there, groups to join, products to explore, crafts to be made.  I though I would drop once I had all the ink pad and paper colors.  But I never did. I love this community.  I was my only customer for many years, but then as my children got older and started school, I had more time to craft with others and my business grew. Now I love creating card classes for others and sharing Stampin' Up! My little hobby has grown into a little business.  

Watch my join video to learn more, then click the Join my team tab under the blog header to starting picking out the items for your starter kit. Contact me with any questions.

Color Color Color!

 Hi my crafty community!  Today I am talking Color!! 

A new catalog always means 5 new colors to add into our color families for 2 years.  This year we are adding 6! 

                                      We have 5 new In Colors that will stay around for 2 years. 


                      We also have a new color that has been added to our 'Basics'! Meet Basic Beige! 

This new color is a really nice addition. Basic Beige is a really nice neutral, not too dark, not to light, just right. You may notice that there is no longer a 'Thick' Very Vanilla cardstock, but this could be a substitute. There is still a standard Very Vanilla cardstock.  


Each year when the new In Colors come out, Stampin' Up! remakes their 'Color Coach'.  If you haven't seen a Color Coach before, it's a really nice tool to help you put colors together that will be pleasing to the eye, or that will give the right feel to your card.  Bright and cheery, fall warm and cozy, soft. You can download the color coach here. https://issinternet-my.sharepoint.com/:b:/r/personal/bethrush_issinternet_com/Documents/Downloads/Stampin%20up%20training/DEMO_MKTL_PDF_US_0424_AC_PDF_LAUNCH_COLOR_COACH_CHART.pdf?csf=1&web=1&e=aUrjNI

 Cut out the cards and make yourself a color deck of cards to flip through for ideas or even pick at random and get creative.

Bird's Eye View Fun Fold

 

I made this Interlocking Flap Fun Fold for a team swap this month.  I think the birds from the Bird's Eye View stamp set are just so cute!  For this card I used my Stampin' Up! watercolor pencils to color in the birds.
When the card opens, the flap slides through the opening for a unique design.  I used Crushed Curry and Blueberry Bushel cardstock, as well as some designer series paper from the Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper Collection.  The Woo-Hoo and Congratulations sentiment stamps are from the Charming Sentiments stamp set.  You can see a full how to for this card on my YouTube channel.


As some of you may know, there is a new catalog coming out in May. That means that in April a lot of items will be retiring and some even put on sale. Part of that sale will be the Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper.  The sale starts April 9th, and I suggest you shop soon after so that you can get the best selection. Some items sell out fast. Some will be discounted and others not.  You can already see what will retire on the Stampin' Up! website. Retiring items have that designation listed in the Online store.  The official sale starts April 9-30th.
