Circle Success Card

Every month I make a card for my Top 10 Sales Achievers on "The Heartfelt Stamper's" Team. Here is the card that I made for May Sales, awarded this month at Team Time!

ALY'S HELPFUL HINTS:

• I'm a bit obsessed with the color combination from the June Card Kit of the Month and also the Stamp-A-Stack. I'm having a hard time getting away from it! So I switched it up slightly for this card, I used Wild Wasabi (an UPCOMING color for the Color Renovation!) instead of Old Olive.
• This stamp set, Circle Circus, is the PERFECT stamp set to give your punches a workout! Every stamp lines up with a punch – mostly the circle punches but then the 1 image shown on this card lines up with the Scallop Circle Punch. It's SO EASY being able to stamp and punch your images – no cutting is always a good thing in my book! This stamp set is also an extremely versatile stamp set – it can serve as a wonderful set for masculine cards as well!
• The greeting at the bottom is on a large circle that was die cut on the Circle Big Shot Die.
• Finished Dimensions – 4" x 4"

And a BIG Congratulations to the Top 10!

A Star is Born!

This card is WAY behind in posting… it was the Congratulations Card I made for my Top 10 Sales Achievers for the month of March! In my defense, they did just get distributed at the April Retreat Weekend (we didn't have a First Thursday Team Time due to the Retreat Weekend) and then I was on vacation… I know, excuses, excuses! Here it is!

ALY'S HELPFUL HINTS:

• For the chipboard star on this card, I ran a piece of So Saffron Cardstock through the Big Shot Machine with the Polka Dot Impressions Folder prior to adhering it to the chipboard for a little extra "texture!"
• In need of a different way to tie ribbon around a card? Sick of the same old same old? Try this! Use the Horizontal Slot Punch to punch into the card, and then string your ribbon around through that instead of the other edge of the card – a new look in an easy step!
• The blue used here, "Bermuda Bay" will be retiring and gone forever on June 30th!!! Order it while you still can!
• The sentiment "A Star is Born!" came from the Level 1 Exclusive Stamp Set "Picture This" in the Occasions Mini Catalog. Stay tuned, I'll have it for sale on July 1st!

Congrats from Terri

I've been so busy stamping things that I can't post yet, that I'm scrounging up things to take photos of to be able to show you!!! This little gem of a card is one that I never posted and should have – it's darling! This card was made for me by my Service Account's Manager (SAM) over at Stampin' Up! as a Congratulations Card for earning Founder's Circle this year.

I want to pass it on and consider this a "virtual" congratulations card to two FABULOUS Heartfelt Stamper's Team Members – Amy Rist and Pam Kane! Amy and Pam have both just promoted to Senior Associates – and in their first month as a Demonstrator!!! They're on FIRE!! Congratulations, Ladies!

The "Congrats" Card also fits in perfectly with it being a Thursday – Thursdays are "Toot Your Horn Thursdays" over on our Heartfelt Stamper's Yahoo Group – it's a day where all of the fabulous ladies are able to share what accomplishments they're proud of! Mine for the day? Hmmm… I'm quite proud of the fact that my Studio isn't a COMPLETE mess!!! I have also finished all of my SWAPs and Shoebox SWAP for Regionals… those are big pluses!

Seeing Stars Stamp Set (115352), Fundamental Phrases Stamp Set (114968), Dusty Durango Cardstock (115321), Dusty Durango Classic Ink (115654), Dusty Durango Polka Dot Ribbon (115609), Bashful Blue Cardstock (105120), Bashful Blue Classic Ink (105209) and So Saffron Cardstock (105118), So Saffron Classic Ink (105213), Chocolate Chip Classic Ink (100908), Whisper White Cardstock (100730), Rich Regals Brads (106953) and Stampin' Dimensionals (104430)
