1 Template 2 Ways

This week on Template Thursday with Tammy I am creating 1 Template 2 Ways. I love how I took one template and made it two ways to create beautiful Fall-themed cards. For my inspiration this week, I will be using another Mojo Monday sketch, which are my favorite sketches.

Fun Fold with Festive Friends

This week on Teach it Tuesday with Tammy and Jennie, I decided to make this super cute Fun Fold with Festive Friends.  This Fun Fold not only works with Festive Friends, but it can pretty much work with any stamp set or bundle.

 

 

What I love about this fold, it has a secret pocket on the side for a sentiment and or gift card.

11 Years as a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator

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:
