Join Stampin' Up! During Sale-A-Bration

Join for the discounted amount of just $125.  Choose between a Standard Starter Kit or a Digital Starter Kit.  When you join during Sale-a-Bration (SAB), you will benefit for the rest of the year!    Each month you place an order, you will get to choose either a FREE pack of Designer Series Paper or a FREE digital download!  Yep, you read that right - FREE product each month for a year!!  Plus during SAB you earn a FREE item from the SAB brochure for every $50 you spend.  That means you’ll earn 4 FREE items just for joining!
Don’t want to have a business?  That’s OK, too.  You can be a Hobby Demonstrator and still receive the same benefits as long as you meet the quarterly minimum requirement.

But Wait…There’s MORE!!!
Product Discount
Demonstrators get a 20 percent discount on all Stampin' Up! products. It's a great way to support your love of stamping, paper or digital crafting, scrapbooking - even home décor.

Extra Income 
You'll earn extra income based on your sales and recruiting.  The sky’s the limit. You may just want to earn enough income to pay the monthly electric bill, or maybe you want to set higher goals – like monthly payments for a new car. That's the beauty of the Demonstrator experience - it's all up to you!

Flexible Schedule
This is your business, so you can put as much (or as little) time and effort into it as you'd like! 

Support from Stampin' Up!
We love our Demonstrators and it shows through our Demonstrator support materials - like our monthly magazine exclusive to Demonstrators, which is full of informative tips and samples.  Workshop ideas plus audio and video training on all kinds of topics are available at your fingertips on our Demonstrator website.  You’ll also be eligible to attend Stampin’ Up! events, which are informative and a BLAST!

The Stampin' Up! Career Plan illustrates all of the different ways Demonstrators can earn income.  Here are some highlights of Stampin' Up!'s generous Career Plan:

• Meet a low quarterly minimum of $300. (That equates to only $80 a month after your 20% discount is applied.)
• As a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, keep 20 percent of the personal net sales you earn through workshop and customer direct sales!
• Earn an extra 10 percent instant income on your first order of $150 or more if placed within the first 45 days of being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator. That means you can earn up to 30 percent from your first order!

Please contact me (314-779-9499) if you're interested in joining my team or have any questions!  Don't wait, call me today.  This offer ends March 31, 2012.

How about some Sweet Stampin'?  A new product hit the shelves this month - just in time for holiday baking!  Introducing Sweet Pressed Cookie Stamps!

The easy-to-use cookie stamp has a solid wood handle with 3 interchangeable stamp images: a heart, a jack-o-lantern, and a snowflake.  Prepare your favorite shortbread cookie dough (or use one of the two recipes included with the set) and stamp away!  The stamps are completely food-safe and child-friendly.  Can't wait to do this with my  granddaughter! 
Deana Schultz followed the recipe that came with the Cookie Press for her swap at the Holidaze event held a couple of weeks ago.  I was one lucky recipient and can vouch that it was yummy!  (Yep, was) 

Deana's swap

Sorry for such a lengthy post.  There's just so much to share with you!  I will return with a project or two tomorrow.  Must get to work.
Thanks for checking in today.  I really appreciate you stopping by!

Open House and Starter Kit Promotion

Hi there!  I want to thank everyone who attended my Open House yesterday.  We had a good time visiting and the girls liked the project.  I did take a few pictures before anyone arrived but totally forgot to get pics of the girls!  Bummer!  If you weren't able to join us, here is a photo of the project.

I used the new In Colors, Wisteria Wonder and Island Indigo.  The border was made with the new Lace Ribbon border punch. Love it!  I also love the new stamp set "Delicate Doilies".  The Perfect Polka Dot embossing folder and pearls added the finishing touch to the card.

You know we stampers (and scrappers) enjoy our snacks while we work.  Since the July 4th holiday weekend is upon us, I thought my traditional Flag Cake would be appropriate.  Plus it requires no oven to heat up the house.  The no oven bit was very appealing to me since we're experiencing 90+ temps right now!   I've been asked to share the recipe, so here it is.

FLAG CAKE 

1 Angel food cake (14-16 oz)

1 large container Cool Whip

1 pkg cream cheese (8-oz), softened

1/2 cup sugar

strawberries, cut in half (approx 1 quart ? - depends on size of berries)

blueberries

Mix cream cheese with sugar in large bowl.  Fold in about 2/3 of the Cool Whip to cream cheese mixture.  Break cake into small pieces and add to bowl.  Stir to coat cake pieces.  Pour into 9x13 pan and mash down to form “crust”.   Gently spread the rest of the Cool Whip on top.   In the upper left corner,  lightly sketch a rectangle in the Cool Whip as a guide for the placement of the “Stars” (blueberries).  Fill in the area.  Add “Stripes” with the strawberries.  Refrigerate until ready to serve.
