Flowerbug's Inkspot

OnStage Highlights

I returned from a fabulous 2018 OnStage last night.  I've got a ton of things to catch up on but I wanted to share some photos with you as well as a few sneak peaks of new Occasions catalog items.  And a fabulous announcement too!!!

Lucky number 5! We both won the very first Prize Patrol!  It's a new stamp set that coordinates with fabulous double layered butterfly framelits!

The new upcoming 2019 Occasions catalog!  

My Flowerbug's Team that attended including Karen, Marguerite, myself, Jane, Jonna, Candy and Jacki 

At CentreStage with my friends Dawn Thomas, Dawn Olchefske, Susie Wood, BJ Peters, Sharon McNeeley, myself and my downline Jane Martin who earned her first CentreStage invitation.  

I'm so proud of Jane!  She worked so hard to earn her promotion to Silver Elite!

Now for the fabulous announcement!

Stampin' Up! has come up with new Cling Mount stamps! 

This means the printed label on their red rubber stamps will be 'sticky'! 

Your stamps will not fall off and you will WANT to apply your clear image stickers now but they will stick fabulously! 

I'll share a video on how they work tomorrow on my Facebook Live.  It's Tuesday mornings at 11 am.  See it here on my Facebook page. 

News: Dashing Along Designer Paper is now available!

I have good news and bad news about our Christmas products in the 2018 Holiday catalog.  First the bad news ...

Stampin' Up! has run out of three products from the Holiday catalog and will not be getting any more in before Christmas so they've turned off the item numbers and they will no longer be available.  I know!  I am so disappointed too!  

1. Joyous Noel Designer Series paper; page 29 item #147816
2. Festive Farmhouse Elements page 13; item #147890
3. Santa's Workshop Enamel Shapes page 19, #147811 

Now; for the good news!  The Dashing Along designer paper is back and available to everyone!  It was a special offer during September for hosts but now you can purchase it for $11.  It's item # 149903 

Here are a few samples of cards made with it and the Dashing Deer bundle.

Looking forward.... and Friday tip of the week!

Stampin' Up! announced the top performers list today and I'm so excited to be able to share that I made the top 100 in the company - globally!  To me that is huge and incredible and I feel so grateful to each of my customers and downline. 

It's amazing to me that I can succeed in this fun and creative business that I LOVE!  I am incredibly grateful to be able to share my passion with all of you and I truly, honestly thank you for your support.  

I have also just reached 10,000 subscribers to my YouTube channel!  Woo hoo!!! And I said once to a friend that I would NEVER, EVER do videos!  I've changed and grown so much in the 13 years I've been with Stampin' Up!   If you haven't seen any of my videos or subscribed to my channel you can do that here. 

And now for a stamping project to share!

I had a bunch of left over sheets of Silver Glimmer paper from last month's Christmas cards and just couldn't throw them away (see the card below).  My friend Pat challenged me to come up with a card using them.  I was inspired by a sketch I saw online and made this one. 

This single thinlit cuts out tons of snowflakes all at one time!  And what you have left is the silver piece I used above.  So I mounted it to a piece of White card stock, added a black and Red strip and a greeting and bow.  Super fast and simple, and eye catching too! 

Have you seen the Beautiful Blizzard bundle?  It's on page 39 of your 2018 Holiday catalog and it's truly gorgeous.

Below is the card they made with the snowflakes die-cut from the Silver Glimmer sheet seen in the above card.  I used Highland Heather, Night of Navy and Balmy Blue here.  I like to come up with unique color combinations for Christmas. It's sort of a challenge I give myself to go out side the blues or red & greens. 

Thanks for stopping in today!

The November Snowflake Showcase specials starts today!  

Now everyone can purchase these outstanding products.  See it all here or the  flyer here

This card features the Snow is Glistening stamp set and the Snowfall Thinlits.  

It's part of my November Christmas stamp a stack class this weekend.  It's Pacific Point & White with a bit of vellum.  The two images are embossed with White embossing powder.  The vellum greeting strip is long enough to wrap around to the back of the Pacific Point card stock. So the adhesive is in the back.  I love this trick!

You'll receive my 20 cards tutorial when you purchase the Snowfall Thinlits from me. 

And if you add on one of the stamp sets you'll also receive a pre-cut kit for two more cards using these products!!!

The exclusive Snowflake Showcase starts Thursday! Get a 20 cards tutorial from me!!!

I'm SUPER excited about the new and exclusive Snowflake Showcase products!  They are available starting November 1st.  As a Stampin' Up! demonstrator I could pre-order them in October and I've been sure enjoyed playing with them!  

The products include TWO stamp sets, an amazing set of snowflake thinlit dies, a set of snowflake trinkets and White Velveteen 12" specialty paper!  The stamp sets both coordinate with the snowflake dies; but it's not all about snowflakes! 

The Snow is Glistening stamp set is perfect for Christmas but can also be for many winter occasions.  And the Happiness Surrounds is any season or occasion but it still works with the snowflake thinlits!  It's so clever and makes these thinlits extremely versatile!  It's exactly what we've been asking for - multipurpose use from our products which makes them a great bargain for us all.  

Each time Stampin' Up! offers these exclusive products I've seen people miss out on them and regret it later.  Don't wait to order; I know you'll love them! 

****I'll be making this pretty card live today (Tuesday) at 12:30 pm CT on Facebook.  Join me here! 

   

I totally enjoyed playing with these products and came up with tons of projects!  Here is the flyer for all 5 of the Snowflake Showcase products.   Snowflake showcase flyer
