Customize Your Stampin' Up! Experience!

As a Stampin' Up! demonstrator the one thing that I love to do is to introduce new people to our products.  One way I do that is by going in to hostesses homes who invite their friends and family over to have a home party.  They earn lots of free products and it's a blast seeing people experience crafting for the first time with our products.  I customize the party to what the hostess will want their guests to make and take home with them.  Last month I went in to someones home who wanted to do a wine bottle tag.  This was during Sale-a-bration so some of these products you cannot order anymore but I still wanted to show you the project.

The ladies enjoyed learning how to use these products and it's given them a way to pass out those wine bottles as gifts!  Check out my calendar of events at http://brittnysmith.stampinup.net to see my open party dates if you think you would like to take advantage of these benefits as a hostess!  We can also party on Facebook if you are far away or can never get everyone together.  Contact me at brittnycreates@gmail.com.

Happy St. Patrick's Day with Stampin' Up! MDS Project

I found this project on Pinterest and thought it was so cute that I just had to recreate it to have my sons pass out at school to celebrate St Patty's Day.  I thought about using my supplies to do it but with needing to make 18, it would have taken too long and a lot of my supplies.

So what to do?  My Digital Studio to the rescue!  I could quickly create this tag then print it out from my computer and have it saved for future use!!  I really am becoming more and more in love with this software.

Here's the finished project.

All 18 together!

I love Pinterest and I love having My Digital Studio in my bag of treats!!  Have a happy and safe St. Patrick's day on Sunday!

Happy Birthday Card and Gift

 

I am an assistant high school volleyball coach.  The other person I coach with had a birthday on Saturday so I wanted to make her a little something.  I had baked cookies using the Special Events sweet pressed cookie stamp sets over the weekend and all I had to do was make a cute tag to close the bag with!  I put the cookies in our medium flat cello bags.  I created the tag by stamping the 3rd largest image from Daydream Medallions.

 I then stamped "a gift for you" from Bring on the Cake

I used the coordinating die cuts from Floral Frames Framelits Dies to run the whisper white and DSP from Howlstooth and Scaringbone through the big shot.  I used snail adhesive to put the flowers together than tied the ribbon around the bag with white bakers twine.  This is a simple gift that doesn't take much time to make.

Of course I needed a card to go with the cookies though and here's what I came up with.

 

I saw this card on splitcoaststampers.com by Christine Kokiw and wanted to try it.  I just love how simple but neat this card looks.  This was a simple card to make that doesn't require a lot of supplies that could be adapted for other occasions.  I'm thinking of trying this out for thank you cards.
