New Catalog Preorder

One of the awesome perks of being a Stampin' Up! demo is that we're allowed to buy new product before it comes available to the rest of the world. 

I saw this fold the other day and decided I needed to try it.

 I love pocket cards! They're so interactive and fun :) This one uses the Envelope Punch board to achieve it. 

The card on the left with the peach paper and doily are old items that I was practicing with. 

The card on the right is made with the new GORGEOUS Share What You Love designer series paper. Pictures just don't do this pearlized paper justice. 

I used two new stamp sets on this card too. The pocket stamp set is called Enjoy Life. It was designed by Million Dollar Achiever Connie Fitzgerald. 

And do you see that awesome personalized piece on the front??? 

Yep, we've got a stamp for that now too! 

How cool is that?!

You can make your own sayings/greetings and personalization with the new Make a Difference stamp set!!!! 

So, if you'd like in on the ability to enjoy great new products early, I'd love to have you on my team. 

Otherwise, please contact me today about how you can buy these cool new products starting Friday June 1st. 

Until then, 

Happy Stamping!!!

Heading North WOOHOO!!!

I am SUPER stoked this morning!

I get to go to Milwaukee for weekend with some pretty wonderful women!

It is Stampin' Up's OnStage time!

What is that? You ask. Well, it's a flurry of fun activities! One of those fun activities is swapping cards with other demos to get new ideas. I made 50 this year and they're several different styles. 

Stampin' Up! also reveals the new 2018-2019 annual catalog!!! We get to make items using product from the that Catalog (that goes live on June 1st) and Stampin' Up! gives us lots of goodies before anyone can buy them!

It's so much fun!!!!!

But, the BEST part is that I get to spend time with some of the greatest women I have the pleasure of knowing! I feel so blessed that God brought these women into my life via stamping. 

You could join us at the next OnStage. I'd love to have you on my team. 

You could get $125 worth of product for $99 and enjoy all of these perks too with no further obligation!

Happy Stamping!

Smash Card

Today's card share was designed by Gayle Kiesow of our Stray Ducklings group. 

It's a smash card - something new for me that I've never tried. 

It's all about the scoring of the fold then using a belly band to keep it closed. 

I'm always learning new things in crafting - especially from my Stray Duckling's sisters.  We continually grow by having meetings, swapping with one another and teaching each other new paper crafting ideas. If you're a Stampin' Up! demo in Central Illinois and would like to join us, we'd love to have you! If you're not a demo but would like more info on how you can save 20-25% and have lots of fun with a great group of people, please don't hesitate to contact me!

Stray Ducklings & Dragonfly Dreams

Dragonfly Dreams Swap Card

I wanted to give the illusion that the dragonfly was flying from flower to flower. This was my first attempt at a slider card. The stamp bundle is Dragonfly Dreams out of the new Occasions catalog. This set is GORGEOUS! So many possibilities! The card base is Bermuda Bay. The layer and dragonfly are in Night of Navy. The sentiment is stamped in Sweet Sugarplum. The flowers are punched out with the Blossom Bunch Punch from Blooms & Bliss DSP. I added a sequin from the Bermuda Bay Sequin Trim to the center of each flower. 

I am blessed to be part of a group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators in the central Illinois area. We meet every other month. The camaraderie with these women is nothing short of amazing. We share lots of great info, swap cards, laugh and have fun! Here's a video of our swaps and the women who could attend this past Saturday.

I hope you've enjoyed my swap card. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you might have. If you'd like to be part of our Stray Ducklings group, I'd love to chat with you about how you can join us, get $125 of merchandise PLUS 2 free stamp sets with NO obligations to buy/sell anything else!

Happy Stamping!
Kim
