Country Flowers and the Tearing Technique
Country Flowers and the Tearing Technique
There are some beautiful stampset and dies heading our way in the new May-April 2024 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog. As a demo, I get to order in advance and I love this perk. The other perk of being a demo is the amazing community of women (and men) that surround us. When my kids were little, my world revolved around them...just keeping them alive was a full time job, but I had a full time job too! This didn't allow a lot of time to garner friendships or even sustain the friendships I had in my younger years. When the kids left the house, I felt a void. Don't get me wrong, the husband and dogs were great, but I needed more. The Stampin' Up! community has been such a blessing to my life. It really is about more than inks and stamps. Many of these ladies have become my best friends. Why am I telling you this sappy story? Stampin' Up! has a special "join" offer starting on May 1st and I am extending the invitation to join our community - not just for the discounts, but for the friendships. **See more info about the special offer at the bottom.
Okay, but for now, let's put the tissues away and get on with this card!

Magnetic Bookmarks - Stampin' Up!® style!
I can't believe that my last post was in October!!! It has been a very busy last quarter of the year with craft fairs, Christmas special orders and, well, life!!! I shared how to make magnetic bookmarks in my in-person Sip and Stamp in October and they loved them! So I made some other designs and added them to my craft fair stash. They make a great gift for kids, adults, teachers, book clubs, church groups - really, anyone who can read. But, the best part is that my cousin decided to raise money for a local animal rescue this Christmas, Animals Matter of Clearfield County. As a Stampin' Up! demonstrator, I get to preorder from the upcoming catalog (Jan-April 2024) and had already ordered the Doggone Friendly stamp (photo below). To help raise funds, I sold the dog bookmarks for $3 each (42 of them so far) and gave all the money to the organization. Why am I telling you this?? Because you can do this for your local organizations too! Let me show you how!
Look at the adorable faces on the Doggone Friendly stampset! |
