From Emmy in Maine:
I had wanted to become involved with Stampin' Up but for many reasons it took a while for things to work out so I could.  During this time, Lisa Brown called me periodically to ask if I needed anything or if I was ready to join.  There was NO pressure, just a "presence".  When I could finally see my way to be able to become a demonstrator, the choice was clear for me.  No other demonstrator would do to become my "boss".  I have NOT been sorry for one minute!!  Lisa is the BEST- always encouraging us, keeping us updated, and inspiring us with videos, both tutorials and team builders.  The team has been so much fun.  Although I have never met any of the other members in person, I feel like I know them from my contact on our team Facebook page.  Each member is friendly and encouraging. I feel like I have my own squad of cheerleaders!!!
 
From Catherine in Texas:
Lisa is a great Stampin’ Up! upline! She is so helpful in answering all my questions to help me stay on track and reach my goals with my business. If she doesn't have an answer she always gets back with me soon as soon as she finds out! I am so grateful to have signed up as a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator under Lisa because she is very passionate about what she does and helping others achieve their goals! I love that we have the team Facebook page to share Ideas and the team blog to help get our creative juices flowing! Thank you so much, Lisa, for your dedication to helping me achieve my goals in my business.

Stampin' Up! Gentle Peace 2014 Ornament

The Gentle Peace photopolymer Christmas stamp set from Stampin' Up! is a beautiful depiction of the Holy Family and was the perfect choice for this week's Makeover Monday here on ink and inspirations.

This beautiful image is created in a stained glass style and is a wonderful line art image for coloring with Stampin' Blendabilities.  The "2014" date still needs to be added but I haven't decided the "how" on that yet!

Take a look at the video tutorial below to see the step by step for a similar ornament from Christmas past.  If you prefer, you may view the video on my You Tube channel HERE.

The stamp set used in the video tutorial is no longer available for purchase from Stampin' Up! The supply list below contains the listing of products for the makeover.

To shop, just click the photo links above!
