It’s a Beautiful Day!

The weather is cold here again but we’ve been playing with a gorgeous flower card.  The Beautiful Day stamp set has a very bold flower that gives you a great focal point on your card.  We added some fun texture in the center of the card with the new Petal Pair Embossing Folder.

We used watercolor paper to stamp the flower and heat emboss.  Then we colored the flower with Calypso Coral ink and an Aqua Painter and cut it out with Paper Snips.  The flower is attached over the embossed Whisper White layer which is layered on a piece of Calypso Coral cardstock.  It takes a bit of time but the results are gorgeous.

A Special Gift for Reach Half Million Sales

Sorry — I can’t share my Hostess Appreciation Party with you yet.  We had ice and snow predicted for last night starting about the time everyone was to arrive so I made the decision to reschedule the party.  I didn’t want anyone out driving on bad roads.  So hang tight — I will share all of it with you after January 22nd.  In the meantime I wanted to share a very special present that I received.  Last month I hit a half million dollars in sales since I became a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator — that’s right $500,000 in stamps, paper and ink.  My upline (and she’s my sister), Tina, presented me with a beautiful charm pen at our Team Meeting this past Saturday.

Half Million Sales, Pen, Award
Isn’t it beautiful.  The pen pulls apart so you can change the bead.  Tina found it when she was on a cruise this past fall — she knew I was getting close to hitting my sales goal.  Now I need just $500,000 more for a special celebration at Stampin’ Up!  Anyone need stamps, paper or ink?

Thank you Tina — I love my pen and will use it proudly.
