My Stampin’ Up Shopping List
Nov 20, 2021 |
Our new Spring Mini Catalog (January – June 2022) will be mailing out to you mid December! Also the new Sale a Bration catalog with the gift-with-purchase freebies! If you have ordered from me in the last year, you will get one automatically from me. **if your address has changed, be sure to let me know to be sure they get to you) If you are new here and do not have a demonstrator, email me Linda@stampingschool.com to get on my list. Demonstrators will get a complimentary copy from Stampin’ Up soon!
This week’s video has a sneak peek of a suite coming in the new catalog in January. It’s called Heart & Home. It’s an easy layout with any floral set you have and the embossing over the image really looks and feels great in person, too!
Here is my video with the Blessings of Home bundle:

This is such an easy layout! You can substitute anything for the focal point altho I do love a versatile flower. The textured embossing folder makes it look like watercolor paper. I also like the shimmer In Color vellum peeking out!
This one is close to the same layout, but I stamped on the designer paper instead and if you squint, you can see the vellum scallop layer. The Heart & Home Designer paper has a pretty Freesia color print that I used here in popped up rectangles.
This one uses the largest flower and takes longer to color but I love the Razzleberry and Balmy Blue together.
Stampin’ Up Shopping List
The stamps, dies and designer paper isn’t out til January but here are the rest of the supplies I used!

Hi All!
This week I spent a day using the Eden’s Garden Suite.
It’s a new suite of products that is an early release bundle along with 3 other limited-time items. The Bundle with stamps and dies will be in an upcoming catalog but the Cotton 12×12 paper, Garden Gems and 12 x 12 Designer paper are while supplies last and will not be in the upcoming catalog.
Here is my video and right below the video is the link to the printable Recipe/Measurements PDF
VIEW/PRINT 5 RECIPES WITH MEASUREMENTS PDF HERE
You can see the leafy oval garland dies above. It’s big enough to cover a 4″ x 5-1/4″ layer pretty well.
Most projects I have seen using this suite are all green in color, designed by the suite which is monochromatic with White, Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen. I decided to pair the dies with a few other color combos and try to use the dies for other layouts.
For the smaller gold frame, I cut the large oval wreath into 4 pieces and created a rectangle. I love Blackberry Bliss and gold together!
This card is a Blushing Bride card base with a Calypso Coral layer. I stamped it with the Eden Garden stamps all over as a background and then embossed it with a texture folder. I used the Meadow dies for the flowers.
When I saw the little floral frame dies, I saw the potential for a bird’s nest!
I used Crumb Cake cardstock to cut the little frame and snipped it into 4 pieces to create the nest. I crumpled a piece of the Eden Cotton paper to create the faux silk effect.
here is a traditional green/gold card using the Eden designer paper. I love the shiny gold on the paper!
The edge die is 6″ so it’s easy to snip it in 1/2 for a 3″ border on the paper.
And lastly, a gate fold!
Yes in green but using the Tidings of Christmas 6×6 Designer paper. I love the little delicate frame on the inside!

Hi all!
Stampin’ Up has a sign up/join special starting Nov 4th -Nov30th
$75 to join and choose $125 in products in your kit!
Is it right for you?
22 years ago, I joined Stampin’ Up just to get a discount. I was a brand new stamper and at that time the starter kit was around $300! AND it wasn’t customizable as it is today. I had started stamping cards, buying odd bits of stuff from craft stores that never really worked together and when I found Stampin’ Up I knew it was what I needed because of the coordinating papers, ribbons, inks and papers. Seemed to make sense to invest in things that went together!
I never planned to ‘sell’ stamps. Then things began to change when I made cards and sent them to friends…can you show me how to make those? Can we have a stamping day? Can I invite people? As it grew, I decided to try to do it full time 5 years later.
I have a large team of stampers and many do it for the discount on their own supplies. Sometimes they have a friend or 2 that like to stamp and they all place orders together. Lots of stampers on my team get together with their friends once a month to stamp together and collect a few orders. Is it right for you?
You may want to be a Demonstrator If….
If you already place stampin’ Up orders monthly or $300 total every 3 months.
You could place the orders yourself and save a bit. (I can show you how to place orders) As a demo, you start 20% commission, which they call instant income. So if you placed a $100 order for yourself, it would be 80.00 with the $20 commission plus tax and shipping on the $100. So your order total as a demonstrator would be $97 instead of 117.00 retail with tax and shipping. ( I used 7% tax as an sales tax average) The discount goes up as we do more.
You may want to be a Demonstrator If….
If you love Stampin’ Up products and want to be in on the preorders and early release sneak peeks.
As a demo we get to order a month early each new catalog.
And yes, we can still earn host rewards for our own purchases.
You may want to be a Demonstrator If….
If you already get together with friends to stamp together.
One of you can sign up as a demonstrator and place orders together. It’s an easy way to reach the $300 a quarter together.
You may want to be a Demonstrator If….
If you are a natural teacher/sharer and love to help others learn to stamp.
(This was me, altho I wanted the discount, there was such satisfaction to help others make cards! )
I started small with 4 or 5 people, prepping projects and teaching the art of stamping.
Making extra money from class fees helped me fill my craft room!
You may want to be a Demonstrator If….
If you hate spending money on tax and shipping. (this was me, too)
With the 20% commission, it really can be compared to tax and shipping free on your purchases:)
It may not be right for you if….
You like being a great customer instead of a demonstrator/shopper – that’s ok!
I love my customers and love helping making decisions, inspiration and hearing about what’s happening in life.
Maybe you don’t want to place your own orders on the computer (altho you can call your orders in to SU, which helps some who don’t like computers:)
What’s the catch?
No catch. No Strings.
Honestly, choosing what you want in the starter kit is the hardest part. There is a contract to electronically sign, you add a social security number and a checking account in case you make extra commissions and they put money in your account, which is nice!
you can stop anytime. If you don’t meet the $300, then they just drop your demo ID number and access to the demo website.
That’s it. No penalties, no pay-backsies.
To stay active in Stampin’ Up, it’s a $300 in orders (one or many, it doesn’t matter) each quarter.
We are in our first quarter, October-November-December. Those that join and purchase the starter kit get the rest of the quarter free, no more orders required. So the first $300 isn’t due until end of March! (and any order placed between start date and March counts towards the $300) Our quarters run Oct-Dec, Jan-March, Apr-June and July-Sept.
During November, choose $125 in any products from the Annual Catalog or the Holiday catalog (or some from each).
Pay only $75 and your sales tax. And FREE shipping!
Call me if you have questions and think it’s for you!

Hi Friends!
Birthdays…we all have them, right?
I remember how excited I was to finally hit the double digits when I turned 10 years old.
Then 16, 18 and 21 (which I really was robbed on that one because I had my wisdom teeth removed)
30 was still a good year! Then the 40th celebration was the black balloons, over the hill banners….
50 was fantastic, wise enough to know we are lucky to be here and enjoying friends and family.
Now my next big party will be 65 I guess!
Matt and I both had birthdays this past week.
I’m grateful to be healthy, friends near and also across the miles.
Cards arrived in my mailbox almost daily over the last few weeks and that feeling of warmth, a smile when I see the return address and then the fun of opening each one to see what the sender created. I treasure each one.
Each card is unique and special!
Instead of one project this week, I thought I’d share them all with you and hope you see a design or layout you’d like to try,
a new twist on a stamp set or paper you already have!
Oh, and be sure to watch at the end – there is a really great book that is a MUST for cardmakers!
(Thank you Cindy for the book!)
Here is the the video!
Go Stamp Something!
