June Creative Challenge Video

Every month we come together to create amazing projects for our Creative Challenge. This month I pulled a variety of the projects and created a short video. 

I hope you enjoy watching it! 

If you enjoy the video please let me know and I will create them every month and add more creations. It was a learning curve to create this one.

July Sweet Stampede Meeting- Online Only Hello Sweet Stampeders! I hope you are enjoying your summer! It's HOT here, but we leave for the Stampin' Up Alaskan Cruise on Thursday so I am looking forward to a cool down!    Don't forget- our meeting this month is ONLY via Facebook Live! Please don't come to my house as there is no meeting here this time! I will be live on our Facebook Group page on Monday evening at 6:00 CST. If you can't join me live, make sure to catch the replay.  If you orderd the Make and Takes, I will be prepping those today and getting them out on Monday. I will post the PDF link on Monday.    Our meeting in August will be on August 13th at 6:00 CST and we will be back to our normal local and FB Live meeting.    Did you see the announcement on Tuesday from Stampin' Up? Here it is below:  The holiday catalog is coming, and that means tons of new products for you to see and adore! So schedule some “me” time and get ready for fun—we’ll unveil one amazing holiday catalog video per day from July 24–26 at 1:00 PM (MT)—or you can watch them any time thereafter. A prize patrol will follow each video. And remember, you’ll have 24 hours after the video posts on the demonstrator website to get in on the prize patrol awesomeness; for a chance to win, simply complete the survey at the end of each video.  Don’t miss this fun opportunity to get a sneak peak of our new products; the sooner you can start making your holiday catalog goodie list and checking it twice, the better! Check back on the Demo page from more details! ​​​​​​​ Every year Stampin’ Up! offers an incentive to demonstrators to help them get excited about including our fabulous Paper Pumpkin subscription service in their business, and this year is no exception. From July 11–August 10, they're offering first-time subscribers 50% off their first kit with the Blooming Savings Promotion. But that’s not all! They also have an incentive for demonstrators which lets you earn a superfun and extremely useful new item from the holiday catalog. (Hint: We’ve had lots of requests for a product exactly like this one. We think you’re going to LOVE it.)  What can you earn? We want you to feel excited about selling Paper Pumpkin to new subscribers, so we’re offering you an incentive to make sharing Paper Pumpkin WITH EVERYONE even more fun and rewarding!  If you get three or more new subscribers from July 11–August 10, you will earn a FREE new product from the holiday catalog. Stay tuned and check back on July 30 for details! If you get 2 new subscribers during the same time period, you’ll receive a $5 USD/$7 CAD coupon code redeemable via OLO or OEX. Full details about this awesome promotion can be found here.   Color Your Season Promotion Stampin' Up will be releasing a new bundle of products in August for our customers that will only be available for one month! We as Demonstrators can order it in July in order to prepare projects and classes for August. The stamps and framelits will only be available through August "while supplies last." The new colored pencils will most likely be available in future publications. This is a great way to encourage your customers to put in an order in August! How to make the most of this promotion:  Take advantage of the preorder. As you fall in love with the Color Your Season products, it will be easy to share them with your customers. Nothing can market a product better than your own sincere enthusiasm.  Samples sell! Share all the colorful things you make, and borrow our project ideas too. As your fellow demonstrators begin to share projects, CASE (Copy and Share Everything)! Just be sure to give credit where credit is due. Use the tools that we’ve provided to help you get the word out about these fabulous new products. Print out the flyer to hand out at events and post our shareable images on your social media platforms. Reach out to your customers who haven’t ordered in a while; this promotion is a great time to bring back stampers who are ready for a new season to make time for crafting.  Play up the versatility. While the Blended Seasons Stamp Set works great with the Watercolor Pencils, it also works well with our other coloring tools too, such as the Aqua Painter, Brusho, Blender Pens, and more!  For more information and marketing tools, check the Stampin' Up website (sign in as a demo) and you will see the large graphic at the top of the page.   July Stampede Perks Tropical Chic Project Class Download PDF Here Sign Up for Kit here    To purchase the Stampede Kit option, you will need the Tropical Chic stamp set and Framelits and Granny Apple Green Woven Ribbon.
