Do I have to sell or do classes?
Not at all! I welcome everyone to my team. Whether you want to hold classes or just shop at a discount. Every demonstrator is their own best customer!

Is there a sales minimum?
To stay an active demonstrator and reap all the benefits you do have to submit $300 in sales every quarter. It's easier than it sounds, things add up quickly!

What if I don't meet the sales minimum?
If you don't meet the sales requirement by the end of your first full quarter (which isn't until the end of March 2024) you will simply go back to being a customer not a demonstrator. There is no penalty or Stampin' Up! police. We understand life happens and that's ok. There is no penalty to you.

Sending Cheer Santa Punch Art

I have another ADORABLE project to share with you using the Sending Cheer Bundle.  I made this one for a swap and I LOVE it!!  If you want to see more with the Sending Cheer Bundle check out this post with Week 1 of my Twelve Weeks of Christmas Series.  I'm also featuring this bundle in my Card Crate this month. This is a class to go and I'm featuring this bundle in the class.  It's a Christmas card stamp a stack and you'll make nine cards.  PLUS you'll also get an exclusive tutorial for a tag box! Check it out and sign up for this month's Card Crate today!

I made sure to add some extra stamping on the inside of the card.  I am usually really bad at making sure the inside and the envelopes of cards are just as special as the front so when I remember I really get excited!!!  

stampin up, sending cheer

To make my Santa I used the circles from the Reach For The Stars Dies, die cut in Petal Pink.  If you're looking for basic circle dies, you'll find them there.  I die cut the hat from the In Color Textured Specialty Paper in Sweet Sorbet.  For the trim on the hat and his beard and mustache I used the Textured Shimmer Paper.  It works amazing!  His beard is the corner of the hat.  So simple!  I embossed the background with the new Snowflake Sky folder and added some glitter sequins to finish it.  I have a full supply list below.  You can shop for these products in my Online Store.

Twelve Weeks Of Christmas Week 1-Sending Cheer Hot Cocoa Holder-VIDEO

Welcome to Week 1 of my Twelve Weeks of Christmas 2023 Series!  Every Sunday through December 17 I will be going LIVE in my Facebook VIP Group to share a fun and exciting Christmas project!  It might be a gift, decor, stocking stuffers, cards or gifts.  Either way you're in for a treat ever week!  This week I'm kicking it off with the Sending Cheer Bundle and a fun hot cocoa/hot chocolate holder.  I've made lots of hot cocoa holders in the past and I wanted this one to be a little different so I made a pleated side which is super fun!  If you love this Sending Cheer Bundle make sure you check out my October Card Crate.  This is a class to go and I'm featuring this bundle in the class.  It's a Christmas card stamp a stack and you'll make nine cards.  PLUS you'll also get an exclusive tutorial for a tag box! Check it out and sign up for this month's Card Crate today!

The sides are pleated and the entire thing is held closed with a fun belly band.  Belly bands are a good go to for boxes or projects that you want a fancy closure.  You can decorate your belly band any way you choose.  For the outside of my holder I'm using new DSP from the mini catalog.  This is the A Walk In The Forest DSP.  

stampin up, sending cheer

My holder will hold the standard Swiss Miss Hot Chocolate or any pouch of similar size. I used the stocking image, so cute, from the set.  The top of my stocking is die cut from the Textured Shimmer Paper, I love this fun paper and it gives lots of amazing detail to a simple project.  I finished with some stamped holly and berries and some gorgeous ribbon!!

Above It All Plaid

I have one more project using the Above It All Bundle, well, just the stamp set on this one.  I know you're looking at this card and thinking, "I don't think she did use the stamp set".  Check out that plaid pattern though, every single line is stamped with the wire stamp from the Above It All Set.  Using just that stamp, stamped repeatedly in different colors I made a really fun plaid background to a fun card!  

stampin up, above it all, pick of the patch

I pulled out the Pick Of The Patch Set for some adorable pumpkins and I used my Alphabet A La Mode Dies for my greeting. I die cut them in the Soft Shimmer Paper for some extra sparkle.  TIP: Add an Adhesive Sheet onto your paper before die cutting for easy gluing!  While I only used the stamp sets Above It All and Pick Of The Patch, I linked the bundles below. Trust me if you love the stamps you'll want the bundles!  I have a full supply list below you can shop for these products in my Online Store.

Shimmer Above It All

Yesterday I shared a card featuring the Above It All Bundle.  Today I'm sharing another card with the same bundle.  I used the same measurements of everything but changed out the colors for a completly different look.  Instead of stamping the tram card I used the dies to create my tram car.  I used lots of specialty paper for lots of added sparkle and shine.  My tram car is all die cut from the Soft Shimmer Paper and I used Silver Foil for the mechanism.  So much sparkle!

stampin up, above it all

I used a range of blues for my ink blended background and went with Pecan Pie cardstock for my mountains.  My greeting is from the Go To Greetings Set.  

Make your own:
Bubble Bath 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"
Berry Burst 5 1/8" x 3 7/8"
Basic White 5" x 3 3/4", scrap for greeting
Pecan Pie 2" x 3 3/4" cut with die
Soft Shimmer and Silver Foil for die cutting

Make sure you check out yesterday's post for a video and lots of tips on ink blending.  I have a full supply list below, you can shop for these products in my Online Store.

Above It All Sunset Ink Blended Background Card-VIDEO

I am so excited to share this card with you today!  It is a stunning card, I don't think the pictures do it proper justice.  I'm using the Above It All Bundle from the Mini Catalog.  This is a really fun and different bundle then we've had I love it!  I live in Albuquerque New Mexico and here we have the Sandia Peak Tram, when I saw this set.  I immediately thought about our tram.  It's a fun adventure and I highly recommend it if you're visiting the city.  The thought behind this card was a New Mexico sunset with the mountains below.  I love it!  It's perfect!  

I ink blended the background, check my supply list below for all the colors that I used.  Ink blending can be a bit of an arm workout.  The more you blend the smoother the color will become so if you're not happy with the look when you begin, keep going!    I used some Wink Of Stella to splatter lots of 'stars' and sparkle on the background.  

stampin up, above it all

I stamped my tram car in Lost Lagoon and Pretty Peacock.  The mountains are die cut with the dies and I LOVE the details they give on the mountains.  

Make your own:
Gorgeous Grape 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"
Starry Sky 5 1/8" x 3 7/8"
Basic White 5" x 3 3/4", plus scraps
Crumb Cake two pieces 2" x 3 3/4" cut with die
Pretty Peacock scrap die cut
