Let's start off the week with a stinkin' sweet Valentine card using product from the 2019 Stampin' Up! Occasions Catalog!
This sweet little skunk is from the set called Hey Love which features some fun lovable animals that you can color or use as straight line art stamping. Look at these sweet gorilla treats created by the Stampin' Up! concept artists!
Here are all of the images included in this set...
Aren't those some fun images? You can color with Stampin' Blends, Watercolor Pencils, or Blender Pens with our ink pads, or with Aqua Painters on Watercolor Paper.
I'm often asked the how-to for tying a simple knot with ribbon for cardmaking. Several years ago, I recorded this video. This tying trick still works like a charm so I thought it worth sharing again!
Hope that helps!

As we begin the new month, I'd like to share a little about the Stampin' Up! opportunity with you. Ever thought about starting your own business?
Beginning January 3 and ending March 31, 2019, there is a special for signing up. Two options:
1. $99 Starter Kit: Instead of the usual $125 that you are allowed to "fill" your kit, add an additional $50 to get $175 of your choice for your kit. 2. $129 Starter Kit: Get $175 worth of product of your choosing along with the Craft and Carry Tote ($50 value) as seen in the video.
Frequently Asked Questions: How much does it cost to join Stampin' Up!? The Starter Kit is $99 plus your applicable sales tax... shipping is free. (During Sale-A-Bration 2019, there is a $129 kit option as stated in the video.)
How much do you get in the Starter Kit? Included in the Starter Kit are Stampin' Up! products of your choosing totaling up to $125. (During Sale-A-Bration 2019, you get to choose an additional $50 pushing that total up to $175!) The kit also includes a business supply pack with order forms, catalogs, etc. How much do you have to sell to be a demonstrator? Good question! Minimum sales requirement is $300 a quarter. The $300 includes what you purchase for yourself plus what others purchase from you. Think about it this way...if you have two parties/workshops at $150 in sales every three months (a quarter), you'll meet your minimum requirement in sales.
What if I don't make the $300 in sales? If you are under your $300 at the end of the quarter, you'll go into Pending Status for one month. During the month, you'll have the opportunity to make up the difference for what you lacked in the $300 total for the previous quarter. ...So say you made $250 in sales for the quarter- you'll need to have at least $50 in sales during the first month of the next quarter. If you exceed that $50 in that first month, it will go toward the $300 for that quarter. What if I am unable to make up sales needed while in Pending Status that first month? Then at the month's end, you will no longer have demonstrator status. That's all that happens. You do not have return Starter Kit, Stampin' Up! does not call, there is no hassle. Period.
What if I'm a beginning stamper and don't know everything about stamping and paper crafting? No one knows EVERYTHING and we all start somewhere! I had been stamping for a few weeks when I signed up. True story.
These are just a few of the questions I receive but are all EXCELLENT questions and I love answering them. So, if you have been thinking about joining Stampin' Up! as a demonstrator...ask away? I will be happy to discuss it with you. And, if you've read this far, I KNOW you've thought about it and I would love to mentor you gently as you make your demonstrator-ship what YOU want it to be!
Please let me know if you'd like to discuss the Stampin' Up! business opportunity or if you have questions! Lisa Brown lisa@inkandinspirations.com 409-719-2853
