This week on Template Thursday with Tammy, I had fun creating this Masculine Birthday Card 1 Template 2 Ways. For this template, I am featuring the beautiful Nature Walk Designer Paper along with the amazing sentiments from January’s Product of the Month, the Fabulous Sayings stamp set, to create the perfect Birthday Card or Thinking of You Card.
If you’re not familiar with the Product of the Month program, back in December Stampin’ Up! launched this fantastic new promotion that gives you even more value when you shop. With a qualifying $75 or more purchase, you can add the current — or even a past — Product of the Month to your order for just $5! Each featured item can only be redeemed once per customer, and they’re available while supplies last. The best part? As of today, February 20th, all three featured items are still available — but once they’re gone, they’re gone!

Today marks 11 Years as a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator. The past 11 years as a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator, have be such a true blessing. I would love to share a little about my Stampin’ Up! Story.
20 years ago a co-worker gave me a handmade Birthday card and I absolutely fell in love with it. I asked if she made it and she said yes, would you like to learn how? I teach classes. Without hesitation, I said YES!!! I immediately fell in love with the quality of the product!! I loved how everything matched, from the paper, ink pads, and markers. I even fell in love with the magic of Heat Embossing.
Fast forward to 2014, when I suddenly had to become a full-time caregiver for my mom and I needed a creative outlet. I remembered how much I loved paper crafting and since I did not sew beautiful things like my mother, I wanted something to do that I knew I could handle and still put a smile on people’s faces. So, I joined not only to get a 20% discount on all my favorite crafting supplies, but I joined an incredible community that is my family!!! Sadly, my mom lost her battle with Alzheimer’s in 2016, but I am beyond blessed to have such a wonderful community behind me and a fun creative outlet to keep me smiling.
I really love that I can either run this as a business or get a nice discount on my favorite supplies. Below I have listed some of my top benefits of being a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator:
I had so much fun in creating these 3 Must-Try Fun Folds with you in my YouTube Live yesterday. If you have been following me, you know I love a good fun fold, and found these 3 must-try folds. I used the brand new Online Exclusive Gathering Moments Bundle, paired with the gorgeous Gathering Together 12×12 Designer Paper.
