Here is a sparkling project for you to create for your next party celebration. A birthday, wedding, patriotic holidays, any number of things that include sparkle and fun!
This was a project that we made at my last demonstrator meeting. Leishman designed it and brought enough for everyone to make their own. It uses the Petite Pocket Pouch (remember I said I had another project using that die – here it is) die-cut with the Big Shot and then embossed with the Fancy Fan embossing folder. This is a modified idea from one in the main Stampin’ Up! catalog. the card that is tucked inside holds the sparklers and a match is tied on with the ribbon.
It’s a fun little project don’t you think?

This simple card idea came directly from the Stampin’ Success magazine that Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators receive each month. The magazine was “re-designed” this year and has lots of great articles in it and creative ideas.
While getting ready for my last demo meeting I needed one more M&T project. Cindy was at my house and we were trying to come up with ideas – both of us remembered this card in the Stampin’ Success magazine. And since I wanted to feature the new In-Colors at the meeting we decided this card would work perfectly for that. The card in the magazine used different colors and used Designer paper instead of the little stamped images. We let everyone choose which stamp set to use – I used Itty Bitty Bits for mine and stamped the little butterfly and punched it out. Others used Circle Circus and choose one of the images and punched those out. We had the Friendly Phrases stamp set out and I used the Petite Pairs for this card.
I also used this card as a M&T at my Open House that I had at the beginning of the month for the new catalog. And if you need to know what the new colors are – Gumball Green, Raspberry Ripple, Primrose Petals, Summer Starfruit, Midnight Muse.
A quick thank you to Pat for helping me with my 55 orders. Read more here. My thermometer is rising! Yeah!
Have a great day!

Jun 14, 2012 | Cards, Demonstrator |
I’m going to share some ideas today using the new Betsy’s Blossom stamp set from the Stampin’ Up! catalog. These are cards made by some of the demonstrators that came to my last PAWS downline meeting. I love having everyone join me at my house for these meetings – and while I call it a downline meeting – it is more just demonstrators in my area getting together. This last time I didn’t have any of my downline attend. But some of my sidelines were there and my “adopted” downline come – these are just demos that I have met and need some support. We have a lot of fun and have all become good friends in the process – we share our ideas both creative and business related and stamp together too. Any demonstrator that wants to travel to my home is welcome to attend – the next one will be in July after convention.
So here are the cards from some of the girls –
Linda’s swap
Anne’s Swap
Cindy’s swap
Diane’s Swap
I have more swaps to share from the meeting but all of these used the same stamp set so I thought I would share them all on the same day. I’ll share the others tomorrow.
I want to say thank you not only to some of my customers but also to some other Stampin’ Up! demonstrators that have so generously offered to place an order and help me earn my first Incentive Trip! I’m inching closer each day towards the 55 $55 orders – here is the post to learn more. Thanks so much to Eileen, Kathy, Marlene, Dodie, Judy, Yvonne, and Penny who have already placed orders with me. You can watch the thermometer rise as the orders come in – just look on the side of my blog. It was a surprise this morning when Penny called and said she wanted to help me and place an order. How sweet is she! I hope I get to meet one day – those demonstrators that are going to be at convention I’ll hopefully get to meet.
I need to get on with my day – have a great one and I’ll be back tomorrow.
Apr 4, 2012 | Big Shot, Cards, Demonstrator, In Colors, Mini - Love Notes, Wildlife |
Look at these cute little note cards! Cindy designed these as one of the Make&Takes for my last PAWS meeting. She used all five of the 2011 In-Colors – Pool Party, Island Indigo, Lucky Limeade, Calypso Coral and Wisteria Wonder. These are 3×3 folded notes. The fronts are embossed with the polka dot embossing folder and then a strip of card stock is added to the front. The flower from the Mixed Bunch stamp set and punched out with the coordinating Blossom punch. The centers were stamped and punched with the 3/4″ circle punch and added to the flower with one of the In-Color brads. On the side of each card is a half of the decorative label punch with one of the words from the Fabulous Phrases stamp set.
On the inside is a business message from the special stamp set that demonstrators were able to earn at convention last year. There are some messages like “thank you for your order” and “Bring a Friend”.
I have a few wildlife pictures for you – the robin gathering materials for a nest.

And check out this squirrel that I saw the other day – I wonder who he stole that big apple from!

Its so big he has to stop along the way – or maybe he is just hungry and keeps stopping for a bite. Here he continues on his way….

And here is another squirrel sitting on the wall – it looks to be a mama squirrel to me – maybe she is praying for the peanut feeder to open up for her. The new feeder which is in the tree right behind her is squirrel proof – it shuts when the squirrel gets on it.

Have a great day!
