Tips & Techniques Tuesday - February 13, 2018 - Stampin' Up! Heartfelt Blooms

So we are right in the midst of the Biggest Early Sale that Satampin' Up! has Sale-A-Bration on of the great things about the Stampin' Up! Sale is that for every $50 that you purchase you get to choose a free item from Sale-A-Bration Yup Free. Being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator we get to earn these a month early so as I was looking over the Sale-A-Bration brochure and picking out my choices and I loved the Party Pandas and the Bubbles & Fizz, and Lots of Lavender Heartfelt Blooms was not on the top of my list. I finally got it in late December. I took it out of the case and looked at it and thought I got a dud and was going to call Stampin' Up! to tell them they sent me a blank stamp when i thought I would ink it up as I saw some shinning designs in it. So I inked it up and stamped it and my mouth fell open It was so beautiful and looked just like a photo. I could not believe that flat ugly non descript stamp stamped something so beautiful. I fell in love with right then and there. I know I didn't need more flower stamps but I hope they do more of these. When you put the Stampin' Blends with it, it looks like you could pick those flowers right off the paper.

So now I really want to show you this great Free Stamp set.

Take some time a view this video and then put in that order so you can get this Stamp Set free.

Here are just a few of the cards I have made already with it.

You really have to get it and start creating.

STAMP A MONTH CLUB

Stamp a Month Club.

I want to show how versatile our stamp sets are. That all you really need is one or maybe two stamp sets to make all the cards you need. So every month I will pick one stamp set and then make all the cards with that set, Christmas, Birthday, Thank You and general cards. I will do 3 - to ??? projects. All photos will be posted in a closed Facebook group for you to see. I will also upload written instructions for at least 3 projects. You will be able to add your own photos for that month's stamp set. I will give out gifts and prizes. There will be games and fun times. We will have at least one live event a month where you will see the monthly stamp set in action.

February the stamp set is waterfront a new stamp set in the Occasion Catalog.

Here is a hint of some of the things you will see.

OK the Details when you sign up the first month is $6 and then after that is $15 a month. You can sign up here http://www.22s.com/marysstamping/106976

Why do I want to do this. Well next summer my husband and I are selling our house and going camping around the US. I promised him I would only take minimal stamping equipment. So I will only be taking one stamp set a month plus my 2 go to sets Lovely as a Tree and Teeny Tiny Wishes. I want to be able to make all my cards with that one set plus maybe the saying from Teen Tiny Wishes. I am starting early to get in the grove. So come along with me and enjoy stamping with a single stamp set all month.
