Hi Stampers!

This newsletter is chock full of card projects, tips, and techniques.  Simply click on the photos and you can download a project sheet for each one.

There's just 2 weeks left for Sale-a-Bration.  I'm still a long way from my personal goal, so I truly appreciate each and every order.  Use my February Host Code 3EEJSDR2to receive a free gift with your order.

Would you like to receive the next annual catalog? 

 I mail complimentary catalogs to all customers that purchase $50 or more within the previous 6 months.  The deadline to qualify for the upcoming annual catalog is March 1st, so it's a win-win when you place those Sale-a-Bration orders.

COPY THE CATALOG

Most people “copy the catalog” because they’re inspired by a sample using a favorite stamp set. This project was inspired by a catalog sample shown on page 81 of the Annual Catalog that uses the Deckled Rectangles Dies. If you don’t have the Deckled Dies, use your Stitched Rectangles Dies (151820) – another creative option!

FANCY FOLD: CROSSOVER

This Fancy Fold card has a Card Base which includes two panels that fold over resulting in a standard-sized card. Each panel has a layer that extends over the fold, ‘crosses over’, and rests on top of the opposing panel. When the card is closed, the panels lay flat. It’s only when you start to open the card that the panels can be seen and then reveal the message inside … WOW!

Take A SIP

Need a lovely card but don’t have time for lots of extra stamping or die-cutting? Use the S.I.P. Technique (Stamps, Ink, Paper) with our Note Cards & Envelopes and a two-step stamp. 

ANYTHING BUT A CARD: DELICATE DETAILS GIFT BAG

When you need a small gift bag or favors for a party, our Delicate Details Treat Box is the solution! Pick the cardstock and inks that match your color scheme and create some very thoughtful gifts!

TOOL TIP: GRID PAPER

Always lay down a sheet of large Grid Paper (130148) on your crafting surface before you start a project. It protects the table, gives you a place to ‘stamp off’, and helps place elements so they’re straight. But did you know it’s also essential when designing a project?
 

Here’s my TIP: Use Grid Paper to determine the exact dimensions for all elements of your design. When satisfied with your completed prototype, use each piece of trimmed Grid Paper to cut the appropriate cardstock and patterned papers.

I CAN'T RUN A BUSINESS LIKE YOU DO

If you’ve ever considered becoming a Stampin’ Up Demonstrator, but didn’t think you could because you couldn’t run your business exactly the way I do, I have great news for you:

You don’t have to!

One of the best things about becoming a Demonstrator is that you get to structure your business according to YOUR needs and goals!

Part-time or full-time, in-person or online (or both), focused on selling catalog product or selling tutorials, it’s entirely up to YOU!

If you’d like to learn more about the many options available to you as a Stampin’ Up Demonstrator, message me at melissa42@msn.com.            I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised!
