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!  

Go here to see it all.

Black Friday Special! (Through Sunday too)

Do you normally shop on Black Friday?  Online or in the stores?  I have a feeling there will be a LOT more online shopping this year!  That's my plan anyway.   

I thought I'd host my own Black Friday special this weekend; just in case you want/need any Stampin' Up! products.

Be sure you consider your crafty friends or family when shopping.  Think card kits or Paper Pumpkin! Giving them some special projects to create while they stay at home is a thoughtful gift. 

All online orders over $55 this weekend that use this host code NCMAWRKB will receive one of our hand made Multipurpose glue stands! 

And if your order is over $75 I'll add a tube of Multipurpose glue too! 

Go here to shop but be sure to order between Friday, November 27th through Sunday, November 29th to get this special offer! 

I will choose the color unless you message me requesting a certain color. We have a limited supply of some colors. 

If you want to purchase one or more they're available in my Shop here.  They are $6 each and shipping is about $3-4 in US.   They make great gifts for your stamping friends!

Next weekend I'm having the last Christmas cards class on Saturday.  Here are the cards we're making: 

It's all about the trees this time!  I realized after I grouped them together that each one features a tree.  

Class is Saturday, December 5th at 10 am.  Class size is limited due to social distancing but there are two spots left. Message me if you'd like to come.  You can get the PDF tutorial for this class and the 3 others I had here at my Shop.

Crazy HUGE BOGO & Fundraiser Event; Septemer 29th.

Tuesday, September 29th I'm holding a HUGE Birthday BOGO Sale!  (It's my birthday today!)  I'm selling 100's of retired Stampin' Up! products at this event.  I don't save any of my retired items and have to clear it all out to make room for new!  *I've vowed to myself I won't store anything outside of my studio. 

If you're local to me in Minot, tell your friends about this amazing event where you get FREE product with purchase of retired items.  Yes!  It's crazy! 

I may be able to offer some extras to long distance customers after the event.  There's just too much to list until some is sold.  

It's at my home studio at 429 Cedon Drive in Minot, ND from 4-7 pm.  

• Come with a wish list for quick ordering
• Stock up on card stock, In Colors or anything in our three catalogs!
• Masks are encouraged! 
• There should be plenty of room to shop; retired items are outside and ordering is in! 
• Orders can be shipped to your home or mine; your choice!

At the same time we're holding a Medical fundraiser for my stamping friend Donna who has had multiple hospitalizations and surgeries.  Insurance isn't covering much at all.  We're selling hand made cards, gifts, baked goods and more. Free will offerings accepted!

October's Christmas Cards Class; or choose the tutorial only.

Last week was my first set of Christmas card classes and in 2 weeks will be the second set.  

I always enjoy creating the cards for these classes.  It can be a challenge to keep them simple but striking!  Here's this month's set: 

I chose to feature a few new stamp sets or bundles from the 2020 Holiday Catalog.

From top left to bottom right:

• Snow Wonder bundle in Misty Moonlight & black 
• Poinsettia Petals bundle in Real Red & Mossy Meadow
• Joyful Holiday with Gleaming Ornaments, Cherry Cobbler, Shaded Spruce & Green Foil paper
• Life is Beautiful in Early Espresso & Balmy Blue

Class will be on both October 12th & 16th and we'll make 3 of each card with coordinating envelopes.

If you're not local to Minot, ND you can purchase the pdf tutorial too. Check it out here to see this one and September's too.  These tutorials are great for personal use or for class projects too!

Window cards for tonight's FB Live; stamp right along with me!

Here are the cards for tonight's FB live projects.  Monday night's videos are designed for you to stamp right along with me.

Gather some supplies, pre-cut your pieces and join me here at 7: 30 pm CT.  The measurements are below.

For the card above I used the Flowers for Every Season designer paper and the Tasteful Labels dies.  There are two separate pieces of Misty Moonlight and White CS below the DSP panel.  The greeting is from the Lovely You stamp set. 

I used the Lovely You stamp set in Magenta Madness and Just Jade.  That pretty texture is the Dainty Diamonds embossing folder. The window is made with the Label Me Lovely punch seen here. 

I had to use my new favorite stamp set Forever Fern for this window card.  I stamped the same leaf image repeatedly in Misty Moonlight, Cinnamon Cider and Crumb Cake.  Love blues and browns together!  The circle is a 2" punch and the pretty label die is the Tasteful Labels again. My favorite set of label dies now! 

Measurements:

• Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
  Main window layer 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"
  Layered piece 3 3/4" X 5" (the Magenta card has a tighter layer; 3 5/8" X 4 7/8")

Use Designer paper, stamped or textured card stock and assorted dies or punches for your windows; layer them if you'd like.

Supplies:

• 
  Punches - Label Me Lovely, 2" circle, Medium Daisy, Confetti Flowers Border punches
  Designer series paper - Flowers for Every Season
  Ink & Card stock - 2020 In colors, Crumb Cake & White
  Dies - Tasteful Labels
  Stamps - Forever Fern, Lovely You
  Other - jewels, embossing folder, dimensionals, sponge

 

Join me tonight when I make these three cards!
