TEN YEAR STAMP-IVERSARY!

Ten years ago today, I made a decision that completely changed my life for the better, but I had no way of knowing it at the time! I took the plunge and joined Stampin' Up! just so I could get the discount on the products I had come to love. The wonderful friends I've made along the way are a bonus I never expected!

To celebrate my Stampin' Up! anniversary, I have two offers. The first one is for anyone who takes advantage of the Extra, Extra bonus to join Stampin' Up!

New demonstrators who sign up between July 1 and August 31 will receive an additional $30 that they’ll be able to put toward their Starter Kit (pay $99 and choose $155 worth of products).
New demonstrators will receive a $10 coupon code, which they may use the following month.

If you join in July, you can start using the coupon in August, which just happens to be the preorder period for the holiday catalog! If you join in August, you can choose Holiday catalog preorder items for your kit, and then use the coupon in September. The coupon codes will expire October 31st.

Now, my personal offer to you if you join my team is a Starter Accessory Kit, which includes Paper Snips, Simply Shammy stamp cleaner (with case, not shown), a starter acrylic D block to stick your stamps on, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, and a pack of Mini Stampin' Dimensionals - everything you need to get going, leaving you more choices for stamps, ink, and paper in your starter kit! That's a $29.50 value and will be my gift to you for joining my stamping family.

Paper Snips

Simply Shammy

Clear Block D

Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Mini Stampin' Dimensionals

Not ready to take the plunge? Then let me give you a Thank You gift if you place an order with me during the month of July, using the current Host Code on the upper right. Once I receive notice of your order (using the Host Code!) I will contact you to find out what you'd like for your gift. The choices are any one color Classic Stampin' Pad, OR a spool of Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon, OR a spool of 3/8" Old Olive/Pretty Peacock Reversible Ribbon.

Pretty Peacock Classic Stampin’ Pad

Whisper White 5/8" (1.6 Cm) Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon

Old Olive/Pretty Peacock 3/8" (1 Cm) Reversible Ribbon

And now an observation: if you had planned to buy about $80 in products, then add in tax and shipping, that comes to almost $99, the price of the starter kit. Now consider that for the same $99 you can choose $155 in products, and shipping is FREE on the starter kit. It's a much better deal, almost double the product (more bang for your buck!) and there is no further obligation on your part. That's it! If you like getting the 20% demo discount, and want to stay active, you'd need to meet the minimum by the end of December (Oct-Dec is your first full quarter). If you don't buy anything else, you will no longer be "active" and that's that. There's no penalty of any kind. Think about it.

The Stamp Review Crew - Good Morning Magnolia

https://stampreviewcrew.blogspot.com/2019/07/GMG.html

Welcome to the third Monday of the month... and another Stamp Review Crew hop! The "Crew" is made up of a group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators from around the world who pick a stamp set or bundle to highlight on the first and third Mondays of each month, with a bonus hop if there is a fifth Monday. Today we are featuring Good Morning Magnolia, a truly splendid stamp set that is part of the Magnolia Lane Suite. If you just came from Holly's blog, The Rubber Redneck, you can continue on by clicking the "Next" button below. If you want to go back and admire Holly's projects again, just click "Previous"!

Today I have two cards and a 3D project! Okay, now pick yourselves up off the floor....I do occasionally make something other than cards, and this is going to be a pillow gift filled with chocolates for my daughter when she comes to visit in a few weeks.

I started with a 4" x 4" sheet of Magnolia Lane DSP and scored/folded at 3/4" all around to make the lid for the box. Then I used a 4-1/2" x 4-1/2" piece of Whisper White Thick, scored/folded at 1" all around to make the box bottom. The magnolia and leaves were made using the Magnolia Memory Dies that coordinate with the stamp set.

The next project is a card that features that gorgeous BIG magnolia blossom. It's so much fun to color! I used the Old Olive Foil from The Noble Peacock Suite and embossed with the Scripty 3D folder, then adhered it to a Mossy Meadow mat.

The blossom was colored with Light Petal Pink, Light Mango Melody, Bronze, and Mossy Meadow Combo Stampin' Blends. After it was colored, it was cut with the die and adhered to the card base with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Some Old Olive rhinestones (also from the Noble Peacock Suite) were added to dress it up a bit more.

Next is something a little different....a CAS thank you card. I wanted to get away from the magnolia for this one, and the flourish and scripty Thank You just begged for something different.

The flourish mimics the lines of the border die beautifully. I decided to add some more foil from Noble Peacock (seriously, Stampin' Up! needs to carry foil in ALL the colors!) along the bottom of the border.

Everything was stamped in Night of Navy, with the exception of the leaves, which are Seaside Spray stamped off once. A bit of gingham from the new Neutrals DSP was the perfect "foil" to the foil, don't you think?

Up next is New Zealand crew member Nikki Spencer over at My Sandbox. I can't wait to see what she has done with this magnificent magnolia suite!
