Video: Million Dollar Happy Mail

Jul 20, 2025 | 1 comment

Hi all!  Matt was able to get my audio fixed so I can share the video of my card that Stampin’ Up sent.
It really is amazing!   The video link opens in a new tab:

I love the Boho suite and the Everyday Arches dies so this card is perfectly fit for me!
It’s about 5″ x 11″ and 1/2″ thick!

The jacket slides open to reveal a paper tray with the card inside.
Petal Pink and Cloud Cover look great together!

When the card comes out of the ‘tray’, there is a little Congratulations.  Honestly, they could have stopped there but the card keeps revealing more layers!

Living in NC, the mountains are special to me so this might be my favorite part of the card!

And a little pocket for a thoughtful, pull out note from Shelli & Sara:)

in my video I totally forgot to show the backside!!
Thank you for sharing in the excitement with me

(SU legals requires me to say it’s an
extremely rare accomplishment achieved by fewer than 1% of demonstrators
and not typical of the average demonstrator)

Happy Mail….

Stampin’ Up sent these lovely flowers and card for my million dollar milestone.
The card is fabulous!  I had it all planned to open it up for the first time on video with you so we could look at it together and for some reason, my audio sounds terrible like static and a windstorm.    Matt comes home tomorrow so I’m sure he will be able to find the problem in less than 5 minutes when I have been working on it for an hour!

I also have a video of projects using the new Jar of Joy!

Til tomorrow….

WE did it!

It happened today!   I crossed the $1,000,000 career sales milestone with Stampin’ Up!
I signed up 25 years ago telling my team leader, Mari, that I would NEVER sell it LOL
I just needed some supplies to build my collection:)
Mari knew better.  She could see I loved stamping and liked to teach so encouraged me. It took about 5 years before I started to work it, trade shows, stamping parties and classes.  Many of you started stamping with me WAY back then and I”m so grateful for all of those friendships along the way!
I’ve met so many wonderful stampers I now call friends.
One million dollars represents a LOT of stamping supplies – thank you for helping me get there!

Thank you for all the lovely comments on the SU Facebook page  – this is their photo. 
I feel the love! 

Sometime in September 2026, Matt and I will go to Utah for an achiever’s retreat and I’ll help design a special stamp set!  (if you have an idea for unique and new stamp set, let me know! I’m still tossing ideas around in my head)  I’ll keep you posted when it gets closer!

Thank you for those who ordered in July to help me cross the line!  I’m still giving away the samplers with orders through the end of July!  (see that post here) 

Disclaimer: Stampin’ Up! would like me to tell you that the achievements mentioned in this post are not the typical experience for a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator. The level of sales required to achieve this result is accomplished by less than 1% of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators.

Happy July 1st!!
LOTS of new things arriving in the SU store today!
I’m sharing all the product photos here by category.
If you would like to see them in the store to sort, filter and read details,
you can go HERE to see them all.
(Basically go to the stampinup.com store and click on What’s New. )

To me, this one is a must-have if you like sunflowers!
Sunflower 3D embossing folder $12  – 6″ x 8-1/2″
#166145   If you missed my video showing 4 ways to use it, Click HERE

These are all stand-alone stamp sets
What did I buy?  Not 29 Anymore, because I’m lacking in humorous sentiments and this one is great!  The Jar of Joy because I have the jar punch, and Prairie Grass because it looks like an easy but elegant way to stamp on the scenic paper i have a LOT of:)  And I got the Mazel Tov because the Jewish holiday sets are hard to find.
(yes, I wanted the cute llama, too)

These are the stamps/dies bundles that come 10% off.  
You can still purchase the stamps alone or dies alone.  Three of the bundles are also available in a bigger suite

What did I buy?  The Just a Note (love the office stuff), The Jolly Holly and the pears!

Stampin’ Up is also getting a head start on Halloween, Fall/Thanksgiving and Christmas/Holiday!

I bought the Need for Tweed because it appeals to my retro side:)
I also bought the Pears to go with the bundle!

The ribbons are gorgeous……the Petunia has more of silver threading and shine in it.  The Mossy Medaodw leans more gold.  Shimmery and pretty!   The Low Profile dots are pretty and easy to mail:)
