Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator

I have loved being a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator for these last 13+ years and have no intention to cease being a demonstrator for many many more years to come. The Stampin’ Up! year finishes on the 30th September each year and within those 12 months you can achieve certain levels. My little stamping business has grown and changed over the past 13 years. When I joined my hope was that I would receive some sales that would be able to cover the purchases I make.

In the last 7 years or so my business has grown as has my team. I am super proud of the team that I have, they are amazing women who have achieved some amazing things as well. This past year has been one of the most rewarding years that I have had. I have set goals each year and this year I am proud to say that I have exceeded them. In 2020 I reached a Sales milestone and then in 2021 I have hit a couple of leadership goals that I never dreamed that I would. These achievements have taken a lot of work in 2 hard years with lockdowns but I have been able to pivot and continue to work my business. I have received the following badges in recognition of my achievements.

2021 Annual Achievements as a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator

In 2019 I held my first ever weekend retreat. 2020 I had to pivot and held my April retreat online and was then able to hold a live event in November. This year I was able to hold my April retreat in person and it was a 3 night retreat. And this weekend I have the great pleasure of being able to hold another one of my retreats and have 19 other ladies coming to join me.

I have to say that I really have enjoyed being a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator and look forward to many more years to come and continuing to grow my stamping community. Would you like to join my community? It is a great month to join if you have considered it in the past. The Starter Kit is on sale for the month of November from $169 down to $130! If you’d like to know more, please send me a message and I would love to have you join my ProCRAFTinators Community of Stampers.

Stamp Camp – Robyn’s Shoebox

Sharing today a card from Stamp Camp – Robyn’s ShoeBox. At Stamp Camp we usually have shoeboxes that have all the items to create the card in the box. But this year with all the restrictions in place in Sydney we were unable to hold the retreat live so Marelle posted a type of Stamp Camp in a box where we had the elements to create the cards but needed to use our own stamp sets.

I used the Painted Poppies stamp set on this card. The idea of Robyn’s Shoebox is to use bleach to colour in the poppies. I needed to go searching for my bleach as I don’t have it in the house very often. The card base is the shimmery white card stock which is so lovely.

I’m going to continue to share more shoebox cards from Stamp camp over the coming weeks. You can purchase all these items from my online store shop.stampinwithsharon.com.au

Stamp Camp – Marelle’s ShoeBox

Sharing today a card from Stamp Camp – Marelle’s ShoeBox. At Stamp Camp we usually have shoeboxes that have all the items to create the card in the box. But this year with all the restrictions in place in Sydney we were unable to hold the retreat live so Marelle posted a type of Stamp Camp in a box where we had the elements to create the cards but needed to use our own stamp sets.

I used the Peaceful Moments stamp set on this card. The other Evening Evergreen card front was already dry embossed using the Macrame 3D Embossing folder and all I needed to do was cut out the pot plant and stamp on the circle. It really is a lovely card and I love the lattice sheet to add a lovely element to the card.

October Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #35

Welcome to the October Stampers Anonymous Blog Hop #35. This month’s blog hop is a colour challenge. You may have landed her from Melissa’s Blog or you may have started here. You will be able to continue to the blog hop by clicking on any of the links below or by clicking on the Next button which will take you to the next blog.

The creative juices were flowing and so I created 2 cards this month. Both cards I used the Color & Contour Stamp set. The inspiration for the first card came from Beth McCullough using blending brushes to create the background and masking off sections of the card each time to create a line and an ombre effect. The Basic Border Dies is a favourite product for me right now and so I chose the zigzag border to cut off the edge of the card front .

The Cards

The second card I made is a simple card just using stamps ink and paper. My husband is more partial to the cleaner look. Which one do you like better?

You Truly Inspire Me Stampin’ Up!

You truly Inspire me Stampin’ Up!
This week I needed to create some cards for my very valuable customers that came shopping with me in September. This card was inspired by Rachel Traudt but I haven’t changed it up that much from her original design. And I also created a video of the process of how I made these cards.
