As I worked on today's project, it suddenly occurred to me that you may not realize all the background work that happens before I complete a post. I research all kinds of card designs, as well as tips and techniques. I listen to the questions that my customers ask and incorporate those answers into my posts. I keep a robust supply of products that I believe have the most value to paper crafters, specifically card makers and scrapbookers. Finally, I pull that together and here we are. So, besides my cute card design, today I'm sharing the top 3 reasons you need a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.
Here are the top 3 reasons (and why you should pick me):
- Save Time. We are all very busy these days – work, family, friends, church, and volunteerism. I'm constantly researching to find new products, new designs, and new techniques, which I share with you. Yes, you can surf the internet and buy magazines. Or you can let me do that and pull it all together for you!
- Save Money. As part of being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, I keep up with all the current promotions and products. I share that information with my readers and customers. Of course, if all I did was talk about that, I'd sound only like an advertisement. So, I focus on how you can get the best value for your purchases.
By the way, did you know that you can shop for Stampin' Up! products without a demonstrator? It's true, but the price is 10 percent higher. Why would you want to do that?
- It's Easy. I share lots of projects – here, on my Facebook page, (soon) on Pinterest, and in my newsletter. Not only do I show photos of projects that you can adapt or copy, but I list the main supplies that I used. In my newsletter, I provide a complete list with detailed instructions. All you need to do is follow them. And all of these options are free.
Now, back to the project. First of all, I was looking for a way to use up scrap card stock. We all end up with a pile of it. My card uses 7 different colors besides Whisper White. I wanted to use a Sale-A-Bration stamp set, Bloomin' Marvelous, since this promotion ends in 8 days. I wanted to use some interesting embellishments. I love ribbon, Paper Daisies and In Color Dalias. I especially love my Big Shot and the Embossing folders. To give this project added dimension, I sponged the edges of the white elements. I also used Stampin' Dimensionals behind some of the squares.
All you need to do now is copy my card. Or adapt it. It can't get any easier than that.
And, if you're looking to purchase some Stampin' Up! supplies, either for this project or another one, then please visit my online store. (You can click on any of the bold, underlined product listed in this post to go directly to it in my store. Any questions? Feel free to ask!
Above all, please continue to visit this blog. I love what I do, and I'm happy to be able to share it with you!
