The Perfect Stater Kit When you are an Avid Stamper

 

Cards by Kim T.

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for stopping in today. I'm so glad you did because I have a fabulous post about the perfect starter kit during Sale-A-Bration! Right now through February 28th, you can join Stampin' Up! and my Café team by choosing $175 for $99. Can you believe it?! 

Although you can choose your joining option, I am assuming you already have a die-cutting system since this post if for a stamper who already has many crafting things, and is probably an Avid Stamper. So, the following suggestions have this in mind. 

The Perfect Starter Kit

When you already have many supplies

Many Marvelous Markers #147154, $123

41 dual tipped, water based markers 

10 markers in each color group + Basic Black

Blender Pens #10285, $12

3 dual tipped pens filled with specialized fluid for easier blending 

Eclectic Garden Stamp set #157871, $23

Distinctive Stamp set includes 10 Photopolymer stamps

Basic White Notecards & Envelopes #159232, $7

Set of 20 notecards & envelopes on Thick Cardstock

Painted Posies 3D Embossing Folder, #159175, $10

When you add these products together, you get a total of $175. You cannot exceed the $175 in the starter kit, so this is the perfect way to go. You will spend hours using the Many Marvelous Markers in many ways. You can choose these items just as is, or shop if you'd like to switch out for a different stamp set or embossing folders. Just stay at $175 or as close to without going over.

Why join Stampin' Up! and my Café Team? Here are some of the many benefits when joining: 

DEMONSTRATOR BENEFITS

• No “Selling” necessary…. unless you want to
• Earn additional income based on your sales and recruiting–just how much extra income is up to you.
• Set your own schedule and put in as much (or as little) time as you’d like.
• Get support through online training resources, a quarterly magazine, events, and a demonstrator-only online community with thousands of project ideas.

That's a lot of great benefits. Also for being part of my Café Team,

1 Sheet Wonder for Many Fabulous Cards!

 

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to my 1 Sheet Wonder cards I created inspired by another Stampin' Up! demonstrator from Australia. We all get to share ideas and things in a Facebook Group called Demonstrator Planning Place. It's so nice to connect with other stampers from all over the world! This is one thing I really enjoy about being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator!

Today I have a 6" x 6" template for a 1 Sheet Wonder which means you can create 4 great cards without having any leftovers when you cut your designer series paper (DSP). 

I am highligting the Favored Flowers Level 1 Sale-A-Bration DSP. It is available, while supplies last, through February. This is a 12" x 12" package, so if you did this template, you can get 16 cards, 4 of each design with just 1 sheet of the DSP. That's fantastic! Here are the 4 cards that I created using the Favored Flowers DSP. You will see that I also used the softer backside of the DSP for layers on the card fronts.

One thing you will notice, is that I added 1/4" layers of Calypso Coral to help the DSP really pop and stand out. I really like this deep, rich color scheme on this card.

The card above also has the large flowers cut directly from the Favored Flowers DSP. This paper coordinates with the Fragrant Flowers Bundle found in the January-April 2023 Mini Catalog. You can use the dies to die-cut flowers from the DSP and the look is incredible!

This card is not all from the Favored Flowers DSP. I used the really soft background from the Country Gingham 6" x 6" DSP. I really wanted a softer look for this card and I didn't have a soft piece left from the Favored Flower DSP. If you want to see more details for these cards, click on my video below. 

Thanks again for stopping in. Take some time to check out my stamping events. If you are local to me in Bremerton, WA, you might love to come and stamp & chat with me. I offer In-Person & To Go options for some classes and events. Here are a few more cards I created, but not from a 1 sheet wonder template. 

Remember you can earn Café Coins whenever you shop with me. Want these products I used today? Then simply click any of the items below and earn FREE Sale-A-Bration rewards and Café Coins too.

Remember earlier I mentioned how I connect with lots of other demonstrators? I love this part of the Stampin' Up! community. We have opportunities to join at events, connect in a Stampin' Up! demonstrator Facebook group and more. Interested in joining a great community and my Stampin' Café Group? As you can see from the image, it's a great time to join. I'm happy to talk with you about joining anytime. I've been with Stampin' Up! for 20 + years and I love it!

Happy Stampin',
