Stamp with Michele

Wonderful Moments stamp set, beautiful Designer Series Paper, beautiful wedding card

My friends Linda, Nancy, and I have been playing with some new products trying to come up with cards for a future Specialty Class. Nancy couldn't make it tonight but Linda and I came up with this gorgeous card. I was so excited to use not only the Wonderful Moments stamp set, but also the Bokeh Dots stamp set. Everything came together really well. Little do my customers know that I am sharing with them probably my favorite piece of DSP that has come out this year. I might even need to get the special Stampin' Up! has right now where you buy 3 DSP packs and get 1 free. Exciting.

A shout out to Roxanna Zilk for sending me this beautiful card and allowing me to share it. Although it is not an all Stampin' Up! card there are several elements using our product like the Shimmery White cardstock, Real Red cardstock, Whisper White cardstock, Night of Navy cardstock, and the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits.

Hostess Appreciation 2018- 2nd Project- Impossible Card

This Impossible Card was partially cased from Dawn Griffith, another Stampin' Up! demonstrator who shares freely with the assistance of fellow stampers, Linda Kjeld and Nancy Carpenter. Dawn has a nice video to show you how to make it, if interested. I used the Half Full stamp set, Wink of Stella, Basic Rhinestones, Blender Pens, Pretty Label Punch and a few other items for mine. We did add an extra strip of cardstock on the backside to make it sturdier.

Hostess Appreciation 2018 - Left Right Game Gift

For my Left Right Game I give all my hostesses each year a little box, etc with some retired product in it. This year was a little box that Stampin' Up! has retired already. It was decorated with some retired Saleabration Designer Series Paper &  the retired Bow Builder Punch. Inside were some buttons, brads, and other retired trinkets.

Technique Stamp Club Members needed and July Techniques- Object Sponging and Colorful Background Stamps

I am in need of 2 persons willing to join a Technique Stamp Club. You would have the option of attending the club in the Waterloo, IA area or you could just put in online orders using a Hostess Code when it is time. I do my clubs every other month starting July 11th but normally it is held the first Wednesday of the month.

What would be the benefit of joining the club? One of the 6 months you would get to be a Hostess earning free products, you would receive the current catalogs: Annual, Semi-annual Occasion catalogs and the Saleabration Brochure when they come out, and you would also get invited to my Annual Hostess Appreciation Event. You can check out yesterdays posts to see what happens at the Hostess Appreciation Event. Everyone has so much fun.

There is more information attached in the download below. Thanks for your consideration.

2018 Hostess Appreciation- Gift Bags with hanging card and an Impossible Card

The first project everyone got to make was a Gift Bag with a hanging card. I cased this design from Ronda Wade who is Stampin' Up!'s newest One Million Dollar in Sales person. She loves to share so I really appreciated this share as she says to stop the Designer Series Paper hoarding. I did change the card up a bit. Almost everyone had different Designer Series Paper to use. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The second project was an Impossible Card. I see I have not taken a picture of this card so I will have to add it later also. We finished the day playing STAMP Bingo but my pictures are not good enough to add here. Many prizes were won throughout the day and everyone seemed to have a great day. Special thanks to Nancy Carpenter and Linda Kjeld for several days of helping me get ready for this fun-filled day. Also thank you to Olivia Carpenter for coming over one day to assist. I really appreciate all the help and hope all my hostesses felt like they were treated royally. Also thank you to all my hostesses who were unable to attend this year as only about half could attend this year. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2018 Hostess Appreciation- Gem Game

So we did a Gem Game this year. I had a bowl of gems where each person drew one out of. There were no winners first round but I then had them open the boxes they received when they arrived and it had another gem in it. Three persons had matching gems and won an Impossible Box with a little candy in it. Unfortunately I did not take a picture although I can get one taken soon and post it later. We kept drawing until the Grand Prize Winner and three Runner Up Prize Winner gems were found. The winners are pictured below.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We then took a group picture of all the attending hostesses including myself and my mother.
