Stampin' Up! Best Catch



Welcome to Wednesday.  It's the middle of the week and that means Friday is only two days away.  I love the weekends because it gives me time to spend with my husband and my kids.  It also seems like there is less hustle and bustle and there is time for a little regrouping for the upcoming week.  I hope your Wednesday is good for you, as well.

Today on Facebook Live over on my business page, I am featuring a stamp set in the Stampin' Up! Occasions catalog.  Have you seen it?  It's called Best Catch and it is FABULOUS!!!  This set can be used for birthday, celebration, Father's Day or thinking of you.  As a bonus, this stamp set can be purchased as a bundle with the framelits to save 10%. 


Did you miss us at 4:00 today?  You're in luck because you can watch it now by clicking on the arrow in the image below.  don't forget to leave me a comment below letting me know which project was your favorite, for a chance to win a prize during next week's Facebook Live.  Good luck.




As always, if you make a purchase from my online store of $30.00 or more (before shipping and tax), I will mail you the make & take projects for this week's projects.  Please be sure to use HOST code HPVQQSBC at checkout in order to qualify.   Because of the weight, I will not be able to mail the tile we used in today's video, however, I will mail you another completed card that I have created using this same stamp set.   I'm afraid the tile would bend up all of the cardstock during shipping, and that would make for some very unhappy stampers.

This week I am offering a prize giveaway from the Occasions/Sale-a-Bration catalog.  After watching the video, come back here and leave a comment below and tell me which is your favorite project.  I will draw one lucky winner.  You MUST leave a comment below in order to be entered into the drawing.

Monday Morning Happenings


Happy Monday!!!!  This week I have some fun tips and  projects to share with you here, and over on my Facebook group.  If you haven't joined me on Facebook yet, Click here now to join us. 

Did you know that each Wednesday at 4:00 p.m.,  I do a Facebook Live presentation where I demonstrate three new projects for you using Stampin' Up! products?  I show you step by step how to create the projects. PLUS, if you make a minimum purchase using the monthly hostess code, I will send you the make & take pieces for FREE.    If you don't have a facebook, check back here Wednesday after the event and I will post the video through YouTube for you to watch. 

Today I am sharing a sympathy card that I made recently.  A sympathy card is not something that we like to have to mail out, but it is a good card to have on hand in case we need it.  Here's the card I am sharing today:



Here's how I created the card:

  1. Cut a piece of whisper white cardstock to 8 1/2" x 5 1/2". Score at 4 1/4". 
  2. Cut a piece of Flirty Flamingo to 4" x 5 1/4".
  3. Using the stamp set Incredible Like You, stamp the flower image randomly onto the flirty flamingo piece using flirty flamingo ink. 

4.    Cut a piece of All My Love Designer Series Paper to 2" x 5 1/4".  Attach this piece to the center of the flirty flamingo stamped piece as shown.

5. Wrap white weave ribbon around the designer series paper and tie the ends in a knot

6. Attach this piece to the front of the card base.

7. Cut a circle (second from the largest), and a scallop circle (black),  using the Layering Circle framelits. 

8. Stamp the flowers on the white circle piece, using the Incredible Like You stamp set and flirty flamingo ink.  Stamp a greeting ( I used Flourishing Phrases) using black ink.

9. Attach the white circle to the Scalloped black circle then attach to the front of the card as shown using dimensionals. 

10. Using the Sprig Punch, punch 2 sprigs from Soft Sea Foam cardstock.  Attach using tombo multipurpose adhesive

11.  Attach 3 small pearls to each corner.

Stampin' Up! products used to create today's project:

  1. Whisper White cardstock (item #100730)
  2. Flirty Flamingo cardstock (item #141416)
  3. Flirty Flamingo Ink (item #147052)
  4. Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad (item #132708)
  5. Flourishing Phrases stamp set (item #141534)
  6. Incredible Like You stamp set (item #148708)
  7. Whisper White 3/8" Classic Weave Ribbon (item #144159)
  8. Layering Circle Framelits dies (item #141705)
If you don't need a sympathy card to have on hand, this card could easily be altered to create a birthday or thinking of you card.

If you need supplies for this, or any other project, I would love to be your demonstrator.  You can visit my store 24 hours a day. Don't forget to use the HOST code above at checkout.  Click here now to visit my store.  I hope you'll stop back again tomorrow for more card making fun.

Happy Stamping,

Debbie

Happy February!!!! It's hard to believe that January has flown by.  Here in Michigan, we are in the midst of crazy winter weather.  Last week we had a severe winter weather advisory and we were caught up in the polar vortex.   Did you receive some of that bitterly cold weather too?  The feels like temps here in Michigan plummeted to -38, but I know some areas got even colder. On Wednesday we are suppose to get freezing rain, snow and ice.   Is it spring yet?

I have listed the February host code above.  If you are placing an online order, please be sure to use this code at checkout.  If your order is $50.00 or more, you get to choose a FREE sale a bration item of your choice from Stampin' Up!  How fun is that?    Also, when you place an order of $50.00 or more, I will be entering your name into a drawing to win a prize from the Occasions catalog. You will receive an entry for each $50.00 order you place.  Winner will be drawn on April 1, 2019.

Don't forget about Facebook Live each Wednesday.  This week's Live will be at 3:00  due to a scheduling conflict.  I hope you will join me for a live demonstration featuring a fun and FREE set from the Sale-a-Bration catalog, Hello Cupcake.  You can join us live by clicking HERE or you can watch the replay right back here after I have edited and posted the YouTube video.

Happiness Blooms Suite and Facebook Live


It's a blustery January here in Michigan.  The current temperature is -34.  Yes!!!! MINUS.  Dear Michigan, this is not what I was expecting when I returned from sunny Florida.  The last time temperatures were this low in Michigan was in 1996.  I guess every 22 years is not too bad.  BRRR  But, as we say here in Michigan, if you don't like the weather, just wait, because it will change.  On Saturday, we are expecting the temperature to be 41.  That's a 74 degree temperature change. 

While the wind is blowing, and snow has been falling, I've been retreating to my craft room to create with all of the new goodies from the Occasions and Sale-a-Bration catalogs.  Do you have your copy yet?  If you are not currently working with another demonstrator, I would be happy to mail you a copy of the new catalogs.  Just leave me a comment below, or send me an email at stampitwithdebbie@gmail.com

Today's Facebook Live features the Happiness Blooms Suite and oooh is it beautiful.  Have you ever looked at something in the catalog and thought "there's no way I'm ever getting that"?  I saw this set live at our annual Stampin' Up! meeting recently.  I did not see all of the paper live, but I saw the stamp set.  I swore I was not getting it.  And now I have it.  And I LOVE it!!!! Today I am sharing just three samples, but stay tuned for more samples to come.  This is such a fun set to create with, and it gives me hope that spring is on the way. 

You can watch the video live by clicking on the arrow in the image below.  Leave me a comment below or on the You Tube video to let me know what you think. 

Do you have a stamp that you would like to see me feature on facebook Live?  Leave a comment below and I will do my best to feature your request. 



I hope that you enjoy today's Facebook Live projects.  Be sure to join me over on my Facebook page where I share tips, tricks and other project samples. Click here to join now:   Stamp It With Debbie 

Have a great day and I hope if you are in an area that is getting lots of cold weather, you are staying warm. 

Happy Stamping,

Debbie

Facebook Live Featuring Piece of Cake


 

This week's Facebook Live features the new stamp set "Piece of Cake".  I like when a stamp set can be used for several occasions, and this is one of those sets.  You can easily create birthday cards, anniversary cards and even wedding cards.  One of the projects today holds a mug cake and you could use this as a party or table favor, or just to have on hand to use as a small gift when a birthday sneaks up on you.

I had so much fun creating these projects and I will continue to create projects throughout the week.  I have some fun things in store for you, so stay tuned.   You can see all of my projects over on my facebook page by clicking here now.  Don't forget to click on FOLLOW so you never miss a post.

If you missed seeing Facebook Live today, I have posted below a link to the replay video. Click on the arrow in the image below to view now.  Don't forget to leave a comment to let me know if you liked these projects.  If there is a stamp set that you would like for me to feature during a live demonstration in the future, please leave me a comment below and I will do my best to accommodate your request. Enjoy!


Stop back tomorrow for more fun ideas using this brand new stamp set from Stampin' Up! 

Happy Stamping,

 I have been a demonstrator for five years now, and I think this might be the most exciting year yet.  There are so many awesome products to choose from in the Occasions catalog, PLUS there are so many great items to choose for FREE when you place a $50.00 order.  I had a hard time choosing which products to get. 

Besides being able to earn FREE product, there is something else that I wanted to share with you that is so very exciting.  What if I told you that you could save 20% or more on all of your stamping supplies?   You DO NOT have to hold parties or have a blog or even a facebook group where you sell.  If you sign up during sale a bration, you have until July, 2019, to place a qualifying order.  If, at that time, you decide that being a demonstrator is not for you, you have the option to drop.  That's it!!!  Here are the benefits to being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator under me:

  • 20% or more discount on all of your favorite Stampin' Up! products
  • be a part of my growing team, the Glitter Brigade
  • receive my monthly "to go" classes at a special team rate
  • view the new catalogs and pre order, with your discount, before the catalog even goes live
What's more, Stampin' Up! is offering a most AWESOME incentive for you to join during Sale-a-Bration.  You can get this Exclusive Craft and Carry Tote when you join now. This bag cannot be purchased any other way except for when you become a demonstrator now. 


There are two options for joining Stampin' Up! during Sale-a- Bration

Option 1:

  • Choose $175.00 worth of Stampin' Up! products for just $99.00 (plus tax). With this option, you get FREE shipping.  With this option you are getting $50.00 extra in FREE product of your choice.  YOU choose which items you receive!!! Isn't that awesome?

Option2

  • Choose $175.00 worth of Stampin' Up! products PLUS you get the exclusive Craft and Carry Tote (valued at $50.00 and shown above) for just $129.00 plus tax and FREE shipping.  Again, YOU choose which products you wish to receive in your starter kit. 
Ready to sign up?  Contact me today!!!  Let's talk about how much fun being a demonstrator can be.  You can email me directly at stampitwithdebbie@gmail.com or you can call me directly at (517) 388-6724.  I would love to share with you.

Do you need an Occasions and Sale-a-Bration catalog?


 I would love to be your demonstrator.  Please email me directly at stampitwithdebbie@gmail.com to request your FREE catalogs today.  PLEASE NOTE:  If you are a current demonstrator, please do not request a catalog to be mailed to you.  Stampin' Up! will mail you a catalog directly.  Also, if you are already working with another demonstrator, please be sure to request a catalog from that demonstrator. 

I am looking forward to sharing LOTS of projects from the new catalogs with you.  Please remember that every Wednesday over on my Facebook group, I have Facebook Live where I share new project ideas every week.  You can find my group at facebook.com/stampitwithdebbie Don't forget to click FOLLOW so you never miss any of the fun projects and ideas.
