Team Meeting Projects

One of the best things about being a Stampin' Up! demo are the people you meet, and especially the ones who become part of your team. On Saturday I met with two of my newest recruits for a chance to get to know each other better, share some laughs, and make some projects.

Here are Tracy and Carolyn, hard at work:


We had a peek at some of the new product from the Occasions catalogue, along with some of the free gifts found in the Sale-a-bration brochure!

This was our first project (a card kit from Sale-a-bration!)


Our second project was another card, using the Petite Petals stamp set and Petite Petals Punch from the Occasions catalogue, along with Perfect Pennants stamp set for the sentiment. The Washi tape is from the Retro Fresh This & That series. The Designer Series Paper is also named Retro Fresh.


Our final project was a 3-D item. We created a Book Box that will hold candy, gift cards, gift certificates, cash, small items, and lots of other things! Everyone chose their own colours and varied the design, and they all turned out beautifully!

Everyone wanted to give the new Spiral Flowers Originals Die a try, and I bet you will too!

Be sure to check back tomorrow for some exciting news that Stampin' Up! announced at the Leadership Conference last weekend.

Happy Stamping!

Easy but Beautiful

Sometimes the easiest cards can offer a lot of impact.

Take these ones for example... Not a lot of embellishments or colours, but they are still eye-catching.


I made two sets of four cards (two Thank You, two Happy Birthday) to give to friends. I hope you get some inspiration from these simple cards.

Stamp Set: Simply Sketched (Hostess)

Cardstock: Whisper White, Crisp Cantaloupe, Pistachio Pudding.

Ink: Crisp Cantaloupe, Pistachio Pudding, Black Stazon

Happy Stamping!
