COMPLETE KIT CONTENTS (Customizable):

*New to the 2011-2012 Idea Book & Catalog!

When you purchase kit, there are NO STRINGS ATTACHED. However, if you decide to embark on the wonderful opportunity that you can choose to take along with it, Stampin' Up! needs ALL KINDS of Demonstrators! What kind would you consider being?

• FRIENDS & FAMILY DEMONSTRATOR:  You just want to buy all your stamping and scrapbooking supplies at a great discount and help your "friends & family" get their supplies too!  Also want access to great "demonstrator only" websites and monthly idea magazine–always tons of ideas at your fingertips! No pressure to sell to others, attend events, or communicate with anyone – you just simply order when you want to.
• GIVE IT A TRY DEMONSTRATOR:  You join Stampin' Up! to see what it is all about – with no long-term commitment or plan.  You purchase the kit (which is a great deal all by itself,) have a couple of workshops or classes, just to see if you might like it.  If you find it's not for you–you can become a "discount purchaser" or just say "good bye!"
• HOBBY DEMONSTRATOR:  You like the idea if doing workshops and earning extra money, but only when it’s convenient for you.  You might work a lot some months and very little, or not at all, during other months. You love to stamp and/or scrapbook and like to support your own “hobby" so that you can buy everything that you want with the money you earn!
• PART TIME DEMONSTRATOR:  You see the potential to do a little work and earn a little money on a consistent basis.  You want no pressure to ever do more than you want, but you want help and support from a "upline" who truly cares about you and your goals.  You may have specific goals in mind–pay for preschool, college tuition, car payment, new furniture, etc…
• CAREER DEMONSTRATOR:  You recognize the potential of being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator and want to build a business with long-term career goals.  You want to pursue management and want to move up the career ladder. You love attending Stampin’ Up! events and building relationships with other demonstrators and customers. You intend to work at your business in a consistent and outgoing manner.

And by purchasing the kit through me, you also get a friend and Team Leader who will support and guide you with what you need. CLICK HERE to learn more about all that I offer to my Team Members – both Local and Long Distance!

And as if THAT wasn't enough — when you join through me, I also have a "WELCOME GIFT" for you!!!! You'll get a FREE Ribbon Share or Fabric Share!!!!! The type of share you'll receive depends on quantities – but you're guaranteed one as a little gift from me to say WELCOME!

Phew!! This opportunity is SO AWESOME I have to catch my breath from all of the excitement just sharing it with you!!! Contact me today for more information and/or to get going! alystamps@gmail.com or 585-360-2667.

Punched Posies… Gone Green!

I just adore the Level 2 Exclusive Hostess Set featured in the Summer Mini Catalog, "Punched Posies." Here's a fun card I made with it trying to think outside the box a little bit!

ALY'S HELPFUL HINTS:

• The thing I love about this stamp so much, besides it's fabulous artwork, is that EVERY SINGLE STAMP in it coordinates with a punch!!!!! I just LOVE when I don't have to cut anything out by hand and can instead punch it right out in 1 simple step! Here, I used the Scallop Circle Punch to punch out all of the flowers that create the shape of the tree.
• The Filigree Brads work beautifully with this set – the artwork in the images coordinates so well with the loops in the filigrees!
• I'm utilizing TWO new colors in this card coming on July 1st – Pear Pizzaz and Early Espresso! Love them!
• The trunk was cut out free handed with Paper Snips… sorry, there's no template, I just drew it free hand with a pencil and cut!

Awash with Purple!

Today's card is OUT with the old and IN with the new all rolled into one!

ALY'S HELPFUL HINTS:

• This stamp set, "Awash with Flowers" is a sneak peek – it will be available on July 1st in the NEW 2010-2011 Idea Book & Catalog! I just adore working with this set – it's been a while since I've had a 2-Step Stamping Set that I really love.
• What is 2-Step Stamping? 2-Step Stamp Sets come with 2 parts – 1 part is a series of bold images – this is what you stamp your lighter colors in. Part 2 is a series of outlined images – this is what you stamp your darker color in. 2-Step Stamping is a beautiful way to achieve rich images, without having to go through all of the work of water coloring! And 2-Step Stamping has NEVER been easier with our new CLEAR MOUNT STAMPS – it makes lining up your images as easy as pie!
• Have you tried Textured Cardstock yet? I just ADORE textured cardstock – it's probably one of my favorite products! It adds SO MUCH to a card by doing so little, which allows you to make simpler cards that looked jazzed up in a fraction of the time. Textured card is what I've used here on the background purples.
• The colors of this card is all about the retiring purples!!! I'm going to miss these light purple beauties dearly. I've used Pale Plum, Lavender Lace and Almost Amethyst. Order these colors while you still can!

WHAT TO ORDER:

Items in RED are RETIRING on June 30th – Order while you still can! Accessories are ONLY while SUPPLIES LAST!

Awash with Flowers Stamp Set (Coming Soon!!), Soft Subtles Textured 12×12 Cardstock (108695), Lavender Lace Classic Ink Pad (101305), Almost Amethyst Classic Ink Pad (101723), Pale Plum Classic Ink Pad (102732), Basic Black Classic Ink Pad (101179), Basic Black Cardstock (102851), Whisper White Cardstock (100730) and Basic Black Gingham Ribbon (104832)
