 THE SIGN-UP PROCESS

To ensure a smooth sign-up process, remember to do the following three things:

1. TALK TO YOUR DEMONSTRATOR ABOUT THE PROCESS.

When you join Stampin’ Up!, your demonstrator is your best resource. Before you begin, ask them to go over the signing up process with you and ask any questions you may have. They will explain terms that may be new to you, help you decide what products to include in your demonstrator Starter Kit, and offer advice about the process.

2. HAVE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION READY.

Before you begin the sign-up process, gather your personal information so you have it ready.

You will need to enter your

  • Name

  • Email address

  • Phone number

  • Mailing address (and shipping address, if different)

  • Method of payment

    Important note: You must pay for your own Starter Kit. It is against Stampin’ Up! policy for your team leader to pay for your kit, even if you plan to reimburse her.

    Depending on the country where you live, you may also need to enter your social security number, driver license, or some other method of personal identification. For information regarding specific documents you will need for your country, please contact Demonstrator Support at 1-800-STAMP UP or ds@stampinup.com.

    3. HAVE YOUR LIST OF STARTER KIT CONTENTS READY.

    Once you’ve entered your information, you will be able to shop and select the items you would like to include in your personal Starter Kit! There are many products to choose from, so we recommend spending a little time to decide on your selections in advance.

    Your new Starter Kit includes $99 USD/$135 CAD worth of papercrafting supplies to create a kit valued at over $125 USD/$165 CAD—and it ships for FREE!

    Select your kit contents based on the products you need. Decide whether you’ll use them to grow your personal inventory or use them to hold your first class. You can also ask your demonstrator to provide advice on what to include in your kit.

    Once you click “Start Shopping,” you will have the option to select a recommended Starter Kit—or create one of you own. The Starter Kit has a set value limit, and you will be able to keep track of your kit total as you are assembling it. You will not be allowed to go over the set kit value, so select your items carefully to get as close as possible to the allowed value.

    And remember, once you sign up, you will receive a 20% discount on catalog products. (Hurray!)

Gilded Gold Leafing on a detailed die

 


The designers series paper is the hero on this card....Expressions in Ink from Stampin' Up! If you look back in my blog post, you will see some alcohol ink backgrounds that I made on Yupo paper from Tim Holtz alcohol inks. It is a wonderful medium to work with, and it can be quite addictive.....but time consuming. After constructing a alcohol background page, there was only a small area of the piece that I would consider usable for a card. When  I saw that Stampin' Up! had regular paper that looked better than anything I could create, I was very excited! So many possibilities are ahead with this gorgeous DSP. I have say it is heartbreaking to put adhesive on any side of it!
I used so many fun elements on this card! The butterfly is from the Butterfly Brilliance bundle. To apply the golden flakes to the detailed die, Put the adhesive sheet on the card stock, and place you die on the adhesive sheet instead of on the card stock itself. When you remove the adhesive "backing" you are left with a sticky butterfly ready to receive the gold flakes...Viola'! So much fun and beauty....and gold all over the place. The sentiment strip is from the Many Messages die; the phrase is from Inspired Thoughts; I love the simplistic font. The gems are Genial gems. I pulled out the gems with the green ones in mind, then I tried the gold ones and boom, that was it. The gold edges on the sentiment strip are a technique I have used for many years, thanks to my friend Katie for showing me that trick. Of course like most things, the marker is available from Amazon.

Simply Succulents

 

Reinkers are for more than just reining your ink pads. I used a couple of drops mixed with the Shimmer Embossing paste over the Succulents cover plate cut from Basic White. The cute little bug is from the JJ catalog Dragonfly Suite. The sentiment is from Forever Fern Stamp set. 

This fun fold is called an arrow card: I cased it from Lisa Cursio. Check out her blog/You Tube for a step by step tutorial. 
Inside of card

                                                                Inside top flap


The Basic White stitched rectangle piece is embossed with the Textile embossing folder. The sentiment is from the most versatile set in the catalog...Positive Thoughts. I use this set as my go to sentiment set. 

This set is my new favorite! Coloring the image was great fun; I think I used every green I have. The new Succulent In Color is featured on the front image with Rich Razzelberry on the tips. I used Soft Seafoam to blend all the color together which in turn gave some highlights to the petals. The other foliage needed to be alternate greens, so I used Granny Apple Green, Old Olive, Just Jade, and Evergreen. The pot primarily is colored with Cinnamon Cider with some Soft Suede in the shadows and Evergreen on the accent areas. The Designer Series Paper (DSP) is from Pansy Petals....love, love, LOVE this paper! For a bit of nostalgia I used the stitched shapes oval with he woodgrain DSP. The twine bow was also minute addition....of course to cover an "boo-boo" I couldn't live with. The embellishments are Genial Gems, a mixture of gorgeous green and gold translucent gems. The sentiment is from Comfort and Hope set.
