Q: What types of Project Life products will Stampin’ Up! offer?

A: You’ll see Card Collections, Accessory Packs, Albums, Photo Pocket Pages, tools, other accessories, and Stamps, of course!

Q: Are the card designs the same as what we can buy in the stores?

A: Nope! We have worked with Stampin’ Up! to design all new products that are super fun and a perfect match to their existing color lines which will make coordination a breeze. Some of the Photo Pocket Page designs are the same and some are different than what we currently offer.

Q: How do I buy these products?

A: Beginning May 1st, you can purchase products directly through my Stampin’ Up! website or, better yet, you can contact me directly and I’ll place your order and let you try out my samples.

Q: Why order through a demonstrator?

A: Stampin’ Up! has a worldwide demonstrator base who understand our products better than anyone. I offer in-home workshops, online parties, and local events. The personal expertise and service make purchasing through a demonstrator a wonderful and unique experience and you will also form great friendships!

Q: Where do I learn about becoming a demonstrator?

A: Visit my Stampin’ Up! website to learn more by clicking the Join page.

Q: How do I sign up to become a demonstrator so I can sell Project Life myself and make money doing it?

A: Once you’ve decided that this is a great opportunity for you, you can sign up through my website HERE.

Q: Are the products packaged the same as existing products (i.e. Core Kits, Mini Kits, etc.)?

A: Most Project Life by Stampin’ Up! products will be sold in Card Collections of 100 cards with 4×6, 4×4, and 3×4 card sizes included. Each card will be printed front + back as all of our current products, but you will not receive duplicates of any cards in the set. Oh – And we’re doing square (not rounded) corners on all of our cards with Stampin’ Up! Yes, there’s an awesome corner rounder punch included in the product line-up if that floats your boat. There will also be Accessory Packs available (sold separately) that will contain a variety of accessories to complement the Card Collection.

A: Products will be available for customers to order beginning May 1st (just 15 days from the time of this announcement)! Watch for product images and more information coming soon.

A: They sure will! Stay tuned for more information on when those will become available.

 

Bookmark with So Very Grateful

So Very Grateful Bookmark Tutorial

I love that the So Very Grateful stamp set is an all in one set- it has pretty floral stamp as well as sentiment or word stamps.  That means that you only need one stamp set to make beautiful projects.  So, grab your stamps, blender pens, and ink pads.

So Very Grateful bookmark

When I was browsing through the Stampin’ Up 2014 Occasions Catalog and saw a vibrant bookmark tag on page 17, I instantly wanted to recreate it.  It is so bright, colorful and uses my favorite projects.

Stampin’ Up! Supplies:

  • So Very Grateful
  • Whisper White card stock
  • Crushed Curry card stock
  • Modern Medley DSP
  • Blender Pens
  • Crushed Curry Ink
  • Bermuda Bay Ink
  • Strawberry Slush Ink
  • Gumball Green
  • Staz On Ink
  • Tag Topper Punch- Scalloped
  • Bermuda Bay Ribbon
  • Dimensionals

Because this project showcases the tag topper punch, I’ve posted a video below from Stampin’ Up! with some great tips for getting the most out of your tag topper punch.

Spring Catalog Sneak Peek

Are you excited for the Spring Catalog and Sale-A-Bration 2014?  I am so excited!!  As a demonstrator, I was able to pre-order the great products from the Spring Catalog, available to you on January 1, 2014.  What a perk!  I looked through the catalog and knew instantly what I wanted- gold sequin trim & gold washi tape.  It looks amazing on everything.  In addition to being able to pre-order, for every $50 I spent, I redeemed Sale-A-Bration products- and they shipped with my order!!

My box of goodies came in Thursday, so I had a chance this weekend to play with them.

My top Sale-A-Bration items are included in this little 3×3 note card.  I used a Pistachio Pudding base and added a Pool Party layer, Sweet Sorbet Designer Series Paper & See Ya Later stamp set.  Love it.  So Simple, but it is a really thoughtful birthday card. Perfect for a guy. (Don’t mind the baby’s toys in the background!)
