Most Frequently Asked Question about Joining:
Do I have to sell a lot, do classes or make this a business??
Answer: NO, you do not.. you do not have to hold classes or events, and you can simply enjoy the demonstrator discount and being a member of the nation-wide Luv 2 Stamp Group while you shop for Stampin’ UP! supplies! If you join during Sale-a-Bration, you will need to submit $300 in product orders by 6/30/19. If you find it doesn’t work for you or you cannot submit the minimum sales, you will be given a 1 month grace period, and then simply dropped if it doesn’t work out for you.
Look at all these products I put in my bag when I was on my way to stamp with Cindee!! TONS of stamping and crafting supplies will fit in this tote! It’s amazing!

Gina Cardera and I had the best time hosting a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator event last weekend at her winery!! The space at the Garre Winery is so awesome, light, large and perfect for a demonstrator event!! We even had a delicious lunch prepared by their amazing chef!!Â
Natalie White (above, left) from the Stampin’ UP! home office came to our event and did a business presentation for us.Â
We had displays of handmade cards, home decor pieces, goodie bags and other amazing projects from demonstrators all over the San Francisco Bay Area! We even had a demonstrator come to the event all the way from Alaska!! It was wonderful to meet you, Teri!
We provided 6 projects for demonstrators to stamp and take home, plus they also got to play with the Sale-a-Bration Precious Parcel card kit as a bonus project! Our focus for the projects was on the 2019 Stampin’ UP! Occasions catalog and the Sale-a-Bration gifts in the 2019 brochure.
We all stamped cards to bring and swap with each other.. I’ll be posting mine soon!! They are wonderful!

If you missed the 4 Make & Take projects I designed and previously shared, I’m sharing them again below.. enjoy!
We had a fantastic Luv 2 Stamp Group Stampin’ UP! Demonstrator event on Sunday at the Garre Winery here in the San Francisco Bay Area, and one of the projects we created was this Sweet Cups Birthday treat!! You could fill this Sweet Cup with a little gift, candy, money, small toy, etc.!
The new Sweet Cups are found on page 15 of the 2019 Occasions catalog or #148573 in my online store. They come 10 to a pack (with lids) for only $8.50!!  We used Sponge Daubers and Gorgeous Grape ink to sponge dots onto the cups (takes about 20 to 30 minutes to completely dry), and decorated the lid with the How Sweet it Is designer paper, Sweet Pins & Tags, and the Birthday Cheer bundle!
I added Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets to the Highland Heather Cardstock, then die cut the cupcakes with my Big Shot from the Detailed Birthday Edgelits. When you peel the backing off, you can apply them directly to the Lovely Lipstick Foil die cut cupcakes! The Lovely Lipstick Foil is part of the 2019 Sale-a-Bration free gift offering!! See all of the free gifts available here!
I colored entire sheets of the Epoxy Hearts with my Dark Rich Razzleberry Stampin’ Blends marker and everyone decorated the Sweet Pins and Tags with the hearts after stamping the greeting with Gorgeous Grape ink (from the Birthday Cheer set). A cute little piece of Gorgeous Grape striped ribbon is tied on to the pin from the Sweet Pins & Tags pack!
The Melon Mambo scalloped circles were die cut with the Layering Circles Dies in my Big Shot, and the How Sweet it Is designer paper circles were die cut with the same framelits. When applying the paper or cardstock to the Sweet Cups, I recommend Tear & Tape since the cups are a bit slick. It will stick the best!
We added a 1/2″ wide x 12″ long strip of the How Sweet It Is paper to the rim of the cup.. that was Cindee’s idea and it’s TOO cute!!   Again, use your Tear & Tape for this.
Wedding Season is coming up!! We created this adorable Gable Box with a wedding theme at our Luv 2 Stamp Group demonstrator event over the weekend! This can be used for a bridal shower or wedding favor, or to hold a gift card or money, or small treats! It features the Piece of Cake bundle and Floral Romance Paper with the Lustrous White Gable Box!
The Lustrous White Gable Boxes are pretty and sparkly, like they’ve been sprayed with Shimmer Mist, but that’s just how they come in the pack!! I paired it with Shimmery White cardstock for the tag so that the sparkly theme would carry through the project.
The cake image is stamped in Flirty Flamingo ink onto Shimmery White cardstock and punched out with the Cake Builder punch. The cute die cut tag with iridescent rim is from the Sweet Pins & Tags package, pg 15 in the Occasions catalog, #148571. We added Clear Epoxy hearts to the tags, too!
Download your Free project tip sheet with instructions, photos, and product by clicking the graphic below.
As you can see by the photo above, I only stamped the cake (not the base) but I did punch out a plain Shimmery White base. I wanted the cake to be the star of the show. Mr. & Mrs. and the heart are also part of the Piece of Cake stamp set, stamped in Flirty Flamingo ink.Â
The dimensions for the tag pieces are in the tip sheet download above in this post.
The lace vellum pieces around the side of the gable box are from the Floral Romance designer paper pack. I decided to cut them it 4 pieces to fit on each of the 4 sides of the box, but it’s really easier and faster to just leave the 2″ strip in one long piece and wrap it around the box 🙂 GREAT NEWS… Stampin’ UP! Snail adhesive and Fast Fuse do not show through the vellum!!!
These darling 4×4 Butterfly Gala cards were another one of the Make & Take projects we created at our demonstrator event this weekend!!Â
I must say… this post was ready to go about a month ago, and now that the event is here, several of these Stampin’ UP! products are already on backorder! The Sale-a-Bration organdy ribbon, the butterfly punch and the Gingham Gala paper are on backorder status!! But you can click HERE to be notified when the Butterfly Duet punch is in stock.
I was very excited to see that the Butterfly Duet Punch will punch out dozens (hundreds!!??) of butterflies in the pack of Botanical Butterfly designer paper (a free gift choice during Sale-a-Bration)!! For our cards, I have cut the Botanical Butterfly sheet shown below into strips, and demonstrators have their choice of fussy cutting the entire butterfly out with Paper Snips, or, using the Butterfly Duet punch and punching a portion of the butterfly, as shown on these card ideas today.

I think it’s just BRILLIANT that Stampin’ Up! coordinated the colors of the Botanical Butterfly paper, the Gingham Gala paper, the Gingham Gala sequins and the Sale-a-Bration Organdy ribbon pack all with the same 5 colors!!! It made prepping the cardmaking supplies for this project super easy and fun!

Below: Botanical Butterfly punched image on Highland Heather Gingham Gala designer paper with Highland Heather Sale-a-Bration Organdy ribbon & Gingham Gala Sequins
Each card has a folded Thick Whisper White Cardbase (4-1/4″ square) with a 4″ square of Botanical Butterfly paper, a 3-1/4″ square of color coordinated cardstock, and a 3″ square of Gingham Gala paper! The ribbon and sequins match the color scheme for each card. The cute die cut label with iridescent border is from the Sweet Pins & Tags pack, pg 15 in the Occasions catalog, #148571.

Awesome Stampin’ UP! Spring Color Combo featured in the Gingham Gala paper stack!
You can use the Butterfly Duet punch to punch out the butterflies in the Botanical Butterfly Sale-a-Bration paper, even though they are not the same size! Or, use Paper Snips and fussy cut the entire butterfly image.
You can see all of these supplies, details and close up photos in my online Stampin’ UP! store.. simply click the product photos at the bottom of this post!
Tomorrow is a BIG DAY!! I am co-hosting a demonstrator event for 50 demonstrators here in the San Francisco Bay Area. This is one of our Make & Take projects featuring the Stampin’ UP! Sale-a-Bration 2019 Foil Sheets in Grapefruit Grove and Occasions Catalog products. I love this card featuring the Lace embossing folder, and hope all of the demonstrators enjoy creating it!
See all of these Stampin’ UP! products in my online store by clicking the product photos at the bottom of this post or in the free download below.
Sale-a-Bration Gift!
You can find the Foil Sheets pack on page 12 in the 2019 Sale-a-Bration brochure, or HERE online. You will enjoy 8 sheets of foil in this pack when you select this as your free gift with purchase in my online store!
The background floral image is stamped on a die cut Stitched Rectangle in Grapefruit Grove ink. I used the large rose image from Climbing Roses as a background for the heart. I kept the feel of this card really soft and warm with the colors, products and textures.  The die cut heart is embossed with the Lace Folder, but you can experiment with other embossing folders in your big shot. See THIS POST for more ideas!
A few scattered pearl embellishments finish off this soft and sweet card design.
I’ll be sharing the other projects and photos from our fun event over the coming several days. Â
