Quick cards with the Field & Flower DSP & In Color cards & envelopes

Have you noticed our In Color cards & envelopes?  They're called Flowers for Every Season Memories & More cards & envelopes; whew!  That's a long name, right?!  See them on page 154 of the annual catalog or click here.  They're larger than our average card at 4 1/4" X 6 1/4" and come with 10 printed cards and envelopes.  All for $11 and in our pretty 2020-22 In Colors.  

This week I'm sharing cards made with this beautiful Flower & Field DSP; it's free with any $50 order in February during Sale-a-Bration.  See it here. 

Here I added a piece of the Flower & Field DSP measuring 3" X 4" to these pretty cards. Then a layered greeting and a punched flower.  So easy, but aren't they cute?!

I used a few of our Pick a Banner punches for the White 1" strip and the Blossom punch for the flower. I added a vellum piece underneath punched with the Story Label punch.   The greeting is from the Peaceful Moments stamp set.

The February Paper Pumpkin kit is a beautiful set of cards with a 'thinking of you' theme.  Here's how Stampin' Up! is describing this cards kit: 

The Bouquet of Hope Paper Pumpkin Kit provides enough supplies to create nine cards and coordinating envelopes. This soft, sympathetic kit includes patterned card bases, die-cut floral elements, ribbon, embellishments, and more!

The kit’s exclusive Bouquet of Hope Stamp Set features supportive sentiments centered around comfort, care, hope, and love. Such a versatile stamp set can be used throughout the year! 

• Card size: 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" (10.8 x 14 cm)
• Coordinating colors: Basic Black, Bumblebee, Just Jade, Merry Merlot, Mossy Meadow, Rococo Rose
• Coordinates with the Flower & Field Designer Series Paper, an exclusive Sale-A-Bration item.

**Remember that if you purchase a 3,6 or 12 month pre-paid subscription in February you can earn a free Sale-a-Bration item (or 2-4!).  It's what I do each year at this time.  You can see the pre-paid options here.  

Here's what I suggest:  Get a 6 month pre-paid now and then in August get a second one during that SAB promotion!  You'll earn 2 free SAB choices each time!

The kit for January is darling!  It's Valentine themed of course.  Here's one of the alternatives I made with my kit. 

Did you know that my PP customers get a free bonus projects PDF tutorial each month?  And so does my Team!  It has 9 different projects in it every single month!  

Fact: SU gives us a 3 weeks 'heads up' each month on the theme of the upcoming kit. This way we can decide if we want the kit or not!  It's simple to go in to your account and suspend it for that month.

Striking cards with Pretty Perennials with True Love DSP

If the True Love designer paper hasn't caught your eye yet look at these cards:  

I paired it with the Pretty Perennials stamp and dies bundle for a recent FB Live.  I used Bermuda Bay, Real Red and black. Simple Stamping at it's best!  No die-cuts or punches either!  Sometimes it's fun to just stamp and layer.  

You can see the measurements below. I try to share the printed list in my videos so they're easy to jot down.

Lastly here's the stepped-up card I made using heat embossing and the Perennial Petal dies.  See the Pretty Perennial bundle here.

I also used our new Blending Brushes to add color to the white flowers.  Love these so much! 

Measurements are below and you can watch the FB Live replay video below: 

I think cards featuring black and White with a pop of color are so striking and stand out.  What do you think?

Easiest Shaker card you'll ever make!

Giving an interactive card makes the card extra special like shakers, spinners or fun folds.  But they can be time consuming or a lot of work.  

I used the free 'A Touch of Ink' stamp set from the Sale-a-Bration catalog.  You can see it here.  That background was made with our Blending Brushes and Bermuda Bay & Calypso Coral ink.

This type of shaker card is truly easy; really!  Besides the stamped element you need three basic things:

1.  A clear envelope
2. Strong adhesive
3. Sequins, beads or tiny punched pieces

Insert your stamped card stock into the clear envelope, fold the excess envelope over to the back and seal with adhesive leaving one end open.  Add your fun filler and seal closed.  

The pretty sequins in this card are the Woven Threads sequins in the annual catalog on page 157.

I made a video in December on making one of these shaker cards.  Even though it's a Christmas card it's the same technique. Here it is:

Don't miss out on our best deal!

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. 

Fact: You get $125 of product of your choice, 5 packs of 6x6 DSP ($57.50), free Past Paper Pumpkin ($21), no shipping on any of this ($20.35). So instead of $223.85... you pay just $99?! What? 

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!
