Fun, Stamping, and Paper Crafting

Today we're going to talk about fun, stamping and paper crafting, and a gift that you can give yourself.

I'm sure that most of you reading this have a love for paper crafting, rubber stamping, and the fabulous products from Stampin' Up! 
First and foremost, I thank you for taking the time!


Eight years ago, I was introduced to Stampin' Up! and rubber stamping at a party hosted by my daughter's friend.  I admit, I was reluctant to attend.  I was a "scrapbooker" and didn't need stamps for my layouts. ;)  But, other friends were attending so I thought I'd join in on this social event.

Little did I know that...
1) ... there was much more to paper crafting and rubber stamping that I EVER imagined!
2) ...stamping and crafting in a group is a LOT of fun.
3 )... you can make lasting friendships through a hobby and sharing good quality time together.
4) ... I would fall in love with the product and would get hooked on Card Making, too!
5) ... within one month, I would purchase the Starter Kit to get it ALL at a great price and also get a discount on every purchase!
6) ... eight years later I would still be sharing this great craft with others!

MY POINT?
You love paper crafting and showing your creations to friends and family, right?
That's what I do.
Love what you do; share what you love.

Give yourself this very special gift.  For $99, you can order $125 in product of YOUR choosing currently offered by Stampin' Up!
 
Then, YOU choose what you'd like to do with that title of Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator
Purchase for yourself and your friends... or, share it with everyone and enjoy being in business for yourself.


Join my group of demonstrators and you'll be mentored gently to make your demonstrator experience what you'd like it to be!

Email me at [email protected] or call me at 409-719-2853.  I'd love to speak with you and answer your questions.

Or, if you just can't wait any longer, you can sign up HERE.  You'll receive a welcome call and we'll chat a bit!

Join the fun, and experience the joy of sharing with others!

Fun, stamping, and paper crafting...do it for you AND those you love!

Stampin' Up! Birthday Card for a Special Little Boy

Mojo-monday-boy-birthday-card
Stampin' Up! Birthday Card for a Special Boy

 

One of my friends and a fan of Ink and Inspirations on Facebook posted on my wall sharing the story of a special little boy who requested a mailbox full of cards on his birthday.

Danny is battling cancer and has a birthday in a few days.  I wanted to create something fun, bright, and cheery.  This set, Monstermaniacs, is no longer available but I love using it for fun birthday cards for kids...especially little boys!

The layout inspiration came from today's Mojo Monday sketch.  Sketches are always a great starting point for me in my cardmaking especially when I'm wanting a card to go together in a hurry.

I hope you'll join me in making this little boy's wish come true and send a birthday card out to him right away!

Stampin' Up! Kinda Eclectic and Trust God Card

Sorry for the super-delayed post today but I wanted to share this sympathy card that I created with Kinda Eclectic and Trust God stamp sets from Stampin' Up!

I am finding the Kinda Eclectic set to be very versatile and I am really enjoying using it on my handmade cards.  The inspiration for this card came from this week's Mojo Monday sketch.  I decided to use this retired designer paper from my stash so that gave me the starting point for my color scheme.
