Flowerbug's Inkspot

Two important events end Tuesday, January 26th!! Don't miss out!

I want to ask you 3 questions:

1. Do you have a long wish list of Stampin' Up! products?
2. Have you ever wished you could get all of your Stampin' Up! products on sale?
3. Have you wanted to see the new catalogs early?  And order products early too?!

If you answered yes to any of the above I hope you'll tune in to my Facebook Live on Tuesday evening.  I am going to go over the truths & myths of becoming a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.  I'm also sharing how I got started.

Here's a link to the event.  Opt in and you'll get notified when I'm on. 

For those of you not on Facebook, I'll upload it to YouTube on Wednesday here. 

I asked my Flowerbug's to share their 'why' and it was so neat to hear their responses!  They are so happy they made the decision; I've never had anyone tell me they regretted it.  Ever!

Some have been with me more than 10 years and never held a class!  And that's okay! A few have had some classes to help them meet their minimums and a few hold regular events.

Here are their most popular reasons:

1. They love the discount of 20% or more on all their purchases.
2. They're enjoying being a part of something so upbeat and rewarding, making friends online and in person.
3. They don't want to give up the Stampin' Up! online community. There are numerous, exclusive websites they have access to with tons of inspiration not seen anywhere else. 
4. They really love getting their catalogs early and ordering from them before anyone else. 

The Starter Kit is always 25% off but during Sale-a-Bration it's an even better deal with the extra 5 packs of Designer paper you get free; a value of $57!  

Remember the Starter kit is only $99 and you can choose up to $125 in product of your choice.  You get free shipping, a free Paper Pumpkin kit and lots of catalogs & business supplies.  Go here to get yours!

~~~

Tuesday is the last day of my BOGO Sale! If you love a deal and Stampin' Up! products be sure to check it out.  For every dollar you order you get my retired items FREE! 

Yes, it's crazy and it all ends Tuesday, January 26th!

Top 10 reasons to consider the Starter Kit deal right now

I want to ask you 3 questions:

3. Have you wanted to see the new catalogs early?  And order products early too?!

Here's a link to the event.  Opt in and you'll get notified when I'm on. 

As most of you know, Stampin’ Up’s annual event called Sale-a-Bration always takes place at the beginning of the year. This year they are offering an AMAZING deal on the starter kit, one that I think all my customers should take advantage of as you receive FREE DESIGNER PAPER, 5 PACKS VALUED AT $57.50 FOR FREE.

PLEASE KNOW, YOU DO NOT NEED RUN A BUSINESS, THE KIT PURCHASE IS RISK FREE AND SOMETHING YOU CAN PURCHASE WITH NO ADDITIONAL PURCHASES NECESSARY!

On Tuesday, January 26th at 7:30 pm I'm holding a special FB Live to share details on purchasing the Starter Kit.  Join me here then.

How does the kit purchase work you might ask?

It’s so EASY! You get to pick $125 of any Stampin’ Up! product of your choice from either the annual or the January – June catalogs and pay only $99 plus tax. You receive FREE SHIPPING TOO!

Treasures of Life Easel Calendar card

Look at this stunning card Annette made for our latest Team swap. 

She used Petal Pink & Gray Granite card stock. I believe she used Black Memento ink for the stamped images.  The pretty image is colored in with Blends markers; so pretty!  

Check out the Treasures of Life stamp set here. 

Other additions are Pink Petal Organdy ribbon and Elegant Faceted gems. 

I made a video on creating these calendars; see it here.

Berries galore with the Berry Blessings & Sweet Strawberry fun fold cards!

This week I'm sharing a bunch or swaps from the latest Flowerbugs Team swaps.  I love swapping with my Team!  They are so talented and creative!  

Look at these adorable fun fold cards with the Berries bundles.  The dies are the Stitched So Sweetly dies. 

Karen created this fun fold card using the Sweet Strawberry bundle (seen here) which includes a stamp set and a strawberry punch plus the Berry Delightful Sale-a-Bration designer paper.  This special paper is part of a bundle that's free with a $100 order (more on this below).  It has raspberries, blueberries and strawberries plus picnic themed designs that remind you of aprons or tablecloths!

Candace made the sweet card below using the Berry Blessings bundle seen here.   

She used the raspberry paper along with the same green plaid Karen did above.  This card is a tri-fold design; measurements are below.  She also used the Stitched So Sweetly dies like above. 

Measurements:

Snail Mail & Pretty Perennials; a cute combo with video!

Here are the cards I created for Monday night's FB Live video.  It was 'Stamp with Me' night which occurs on the 2nd & 4th Monday nights.  Join me here! 

When I first saw the Snail Mail designer paper I fell in love!  I had absolutely no idea it would be this cute.  Have you found that to be true?  You see things in a catalog and think they're okay or kind of nice. But then in real life you are amazed?!  This is one of those papers!

This was inspired by a similar card I received in a swap from my friend Dawn Olchefske.  

Here they are separately:

      

My colors were chosen by the adorable Snail Mail DSP - Bermuda Bay, Real Red, Blushing Bride & Pool Party.

Measurements:

• Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
• main layer - stamped or textured 4" X 5 1/4"
• Designer Paper strips 1" X 4"

Quick & Easy Easel Calendar cards with video!

Look at this pretty Easel Calendar card made with brand new products!  

I used product from both new Stampin' Up! 2021 catalogs.  The designer paper is called Paper Blooms and it's free with a $50 order during our Sale-a-Bration promotion. Click here to see it.

The dragonfly & greeting are from the Dragonfly Garden bundle.  It's in the 2021 Spring catalog and you can see it here. 

These easel cards are so simple to make!  The scored, square piece is adhered to the inside bottom of the main card.

Measurements:

• card base 4 1/4" X 11"
• easel 4" square.  Score at 1/2", 2" and 3 3/4"

Here are a few more I created as gifts for my customers in December.  These calendars can be found online at a few different sites.  Just google 'mini tear off calendar'. 

  

These are made with designer papers from the Annual Catalog.  The left one above features the Artistic Blooms; the right is the Ornate Garden.  The greeting is from the Friend Like You stamp set.

The pretty one below is made with the Forever Greenery designer paper. Who wouldn't want one of these at their desk?  

Below is the video.  Be sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel so you don't miss a thing!

Beautiful Vine Design with Oh So Ombre with video!

What do you think of the Oh So Ombre designer paper?  Have you seen it yet?  If not look here.  

It's a 6 X 6" pack of 48 sheets of Designer Series Paper.  There are 2 designs and 4 colors in this pretty pack and it's FREE with any $50 order during  Sale-a-Bration! 

I created this card with it for a Flowerbug's swap a few weeks ago. The first card features the Bermuda Bay color in the pack.   

Of course I chose to use all new products!  The pretty stitched outline is from the Stitched with Whimsy dies seen here.  I love that they don't actually cut; they just stitch a pretty outline. You can really notice the Ombre since I switched the die when I inserted it back in the window. Watch how in the video. 

The intricate die is from the Flowering Vines die.  It's part of the bundle with the Vine Design stamp set which is where the greeting images are from.  See them here. 

Here I used the BlackBerry Bliss piece of DSP.  Which do you prefer?  

I hope you watch the quick video I made featuring these new products.
