Merry Minis

Have you ever wondered where I get inspiration for my cards?  Well if you've been reading my blog you know a lot of it comes from Pinterest, but another great source that I use is our demonstrator only magazine called Stampin' Success.  This is a bimonthly magazine that is sent to demonstrators with lots of projects and business related items.  I just LOVE getting this magazine and probably fold over every page for things I want to make or do!

 

So I was inspired in the July magazine with this card below.  I CASE'd it almost identically but changed just a few things to fit the supplies I had.  I just love how simple this card is but with lots of little details to make it really stand out.

 

 



 Supplies needed to make this card:

Card Stock: Crumb Cake 5-1/2" x 4-1/4"
                    Whisper White 1/2" x 4 and scraps for stamping
                    Gumball Green 3-3/4" x 1/2"

Stamp Set: Merry Minis clear #127919 $11.95 or wood #127916 $14.95

                        Easy Events clear # 123225 $24.95 or wood #116958 $32.95

I colored just "merry" with cherry cobbler marker



 

Ink: Summer Starfruit

        Cherry Cobbler ink pad and marker

        Gumball Green

 

Accessories: Cherry Cobbler Baker's Twine

           Tools: Essentials Paper-Piercing Pack to make the hearts

                      Stampin' Pierce Mat

                      Paper Piercing Tool

                      Merry Minis Punch Pack

                      Paper Snips

    Adhesives: Snail

                       Mini Glue Dot

 

Receiving the Stampin' Success in the mail is one of many perks of being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator.  To learn more check out my site http://brittnysmith.stampinup.net or contact me with your questions.  I love what I do and would love to have you join my team!

                        

Stop back tomorrow to see how I stepped up this Christmas card by doing just a few different steps.

 

Volleyball Senior Rec

If you don't know this about me already well here you go.  I am an assistant girls volleyball coach at a local high school in the area.  We had our senior rec last night and I wanted to make cards for our 4 seniors that the coaches could sign.  Our colors are white, black and red.  Here's what I came up with:

Since I'm a bit of a procrastinator and don't get inspired until I'm under the gun, I needed something simple.  I really wanted to make a volleyball player punch art but not when I started at 10 pm the night before.  Definitely for next year even though there could be 7 seniors.  I better make sure I don't wait until the night before!

This also made me realize that I don't have any sport inspired stamps.  I had to hand draw the volleyball on my circle punch.  Add to my wish list of things I need to order.  Thank goodness for having my discount as a Stampin' Up! demonstrator ;)

Supplies needed to make this card:

Card Stock: Whisper White card 5-1/2" x 4-1/4"
                     Real Red DSP from Patterns Pack Brights Collection 5-1/2" x 1-3/4"
                    Whisper White scrap for square and circle punch
                     Basic Black scrap for die cutting

Ink: Basic Black to sponge volleyball
        Basic Black marker
        Real Red marker

Accessories: Sponge Dauber
                     Crystal Effects
                      Snail Adhesive
                      Stampin' Dimensionals
Tools:  1-3/8" square punch
            2-1/2" circle punch
            Big Shot
            Typeset Alphabet Bigz Die
           

Stampin' Trimmer

It has finally arrived!!

As a demonstrator I have been waiting for this new trimmer since the announcement months ago.  Another reason I love being a demonstrator is because I get to order this before any of my customers.  Customers will be able to order this trimmer in November.  Check out the video to see all the reasons you will want to order this trimmer next month.





Let me know what you think and you will be able to order this trimmer November 1st at my online store http://brittnysmith.stampinup.net if you aren't a demonstrator already.  If you would like to know all of the great benefits of being a demonstrator like preorders, product discount and monthly income to name a few, please contact me at brittnycreates@gmail.com  I would love to discuss all the possibilities of running your own business.

Pinwheels

I was going through my pictures and old posts and realized I never showed these pinwheels.  If you remember from here I made strawberry and blueberry flavored jello cookies using the newest sweet pressed cookie stamps to take to a 4th of July party.  I wanted to design cute labels so people knew what flavors they were.

In the June issue of Stampin' Success (which is a demonstrator only magazine, a GREAT perk for being a demonstrator) featured pinwheels so I took my inspiration from there.  The largest pinwheel was made with whisper white and the inside pinwheel used real red and pacific point.  They are perfect colors for 4th of July and red, white and blue colors.

To make these pinwheels, you first have to decide how big you want them to be.  Once you know your size, you cut that size square.  For example, I made my largest pinwheel 4 x 4.  Than using the Simply Scoring Tool you draw diagonal lines to each corner.  Now you'll use your scissors to cut into the center from each corner leaving about an inch from the center.  Next, using the paper piercing tool and mat, make a hole in the middle of your two diagonal lines and on the right side of your cut lines.  Each triangle should have 1 hole.  To assemble, use a brad and curl in the corners with the hole into the middle and attach all with brads.  You'll need to create something to cover your brad like I did with my labels.

To acheive my double pinwheel affect: Cut a smaller size square from DSP.  I made mine 3 x 3.  Glue onto whisper white before creating your pinwheel with the steps above and that's it!!

How cute are these and can be used for any occasion or reason!

Corner Bookmark

Bookmark fits on corner of pages

One VERY nice perk about being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator is that we receive a monthly magazine called Stampin' Success.  There are always such great ideas that help run my business.

One month they featured bookmarks that I just had to try.  I love books and always need a cute bookmark to mark my page.  Plus what a better way to advertise my business than having this with me at all times!

I wanted to post this early, but one of my closest friends just had a birthday and wanted to surprise her with this handmade bookmark since she is a big reader too.  Hence the J on the bookmark.

Front of bookmark

Back of bookmark looking just as cute!

I Did It!

I just have to brag a little in this post because I'm very excited!

When you join Stampin' Up! they have a 6-month program to motivate you to grow your business from the beginning.  It's called Stampin' Start.  The goal is to reach $300 in sales each month for 6 months and recruit at least 1 person.  The program is broken into 2 periods totalling 3 months in each period.  If you achieve $300 in each month in either of the periods you are rewarded with 2 FREE stamp sets from any catalog!  Each recruit within your first six months is an additional stamp set FREE!  There are additional cash rewards if you achieve all of these goals in your first 6 months.

Well I unfortunately didn't achieve the sales goal my first 3 months, but I just got an email from Stampin' Up! stating that I achieved Stampin' Start for the second 3 months!!  That means I will get 2 FREE stamp sets!  I'm going to wait until the new catalog releases next month to order from.  I couldn't be happier that I achieved this goal.  It's a great start to my business and makes me want to grow it even more to earn even more FREE stuff from Stampin' Up! including trips.  I'm very jealous hearing about demonstrators just getting back from their FREE Disney trip for their achievements.  My big goal is to earn a trip one of these years.

I want to say a BIG thank you to everyone who made this possible for me.  Without you I wouldn't have achieved this goal so THANK YOU!  If you have placed an order with me either in person or online, look for a little thank you in the mail soon!

I love being a part of this company and their are so many perks that they give us for being demonstrators.  Now with the starter kit being fully customizable for only $99 it's a great reason to join my team and be a part of a company who truly appreciates everything we do.  It's great to be a Stampin' Up! demonstrator and I would love for you to join my team and help you achieve Stampin' Start yourself!  Contact me to learn more or join through my website today www.brittnysmith.stampinup.net

Being a Stampin' Up Demonstrator is Great!

I love being a Stampin' Up demonstrator.  There are so many great perks when you join.  Not only do you get 20% discount on every order you make, but you can also use the business as a tool to make a little extra cash if you wish.

What I absolutely love is our monthly demonstrator magazines that we receive.  There are SO many great ideas to help you grow your business and projects just to make as a crafter.  You cannot receive these unless you are a demonstrator.  I received this in the mail Friday and there is a flower box that I'm dying to make for some holiday gifts for family members.  I can access the supplies and directions needed to make this project on our demonstrator only website too.  So I have noted what I need and will be adding these supplies to my first demonstrator order in December.  Stay tuned for a future post once I have this project created.

The other thing that I just have to brag about being a Stampin' Up demonstrator is that we receive the catalogs at least a month in advance and then get to preorder the supplies from that catalog a month before it is released to customers.  That gives us the opportunity to create projects for workshops to increase sales for that catalog.  I just received my Occassions mini catalog that will begin in January and have to admit that I can't wait to preorder in December and start creating projects to share in January!  It will be hard not to share it before than but there are some great items you will just have to wait to see but it will be worth it!

Oh how I love the perks of being a Stampin' Up demonstrator!  Click on join me on the left to learn more and join my team!  I look forward to sharing my crafting love with you and having you apart of my growing business.
