Hello Crafters!

I know its been a very long time, like almost 1 and 1/2 years…..yikes! I just updated my website and thought maybe I should give this blogging thing another try. So here goes…..

I am still an Independent Stampin’ Up! demonstrator and still loving it! It has been 6 years and 6 months since I became a demonstrator. I still love every minute of it and especially meeting all the people along the way. I now have a small team of demonstrators.. 5 to be exact and about 20 regular customers. I know you are probably thinking wow that’s not very successful for almost 7 years. I guess it all depends on how you measure success because I feel super successful! I have not ever wanted to work hard at this and I do not need the extra money to live. I have always wanted this to be a business but more of a hobby business at this point in my life. I absolutely love what I do and it never feels like work and I want to always feel this way, so to me I am super successful!

So enough about me! What have you all been up to lately? What crafts are you guys working on?

This is the most recent card I have made. It was featured in my Facebook live on Tuesday of last week. I wanted to show off those Radiating Stitches Dies and this card sure does show them off. We will get to those dies in a minute, but lets first talk about that Easter Bunny stamp set! I just love this set.

This stamp set is just $19 and it is Photopolymer. Look at those cute bunny images and I love those eggs! As you can see in my card above I colored my images. I used the stampin’ blends and if you have been following me you know they are my favorite for coloring! You can not go wrong using a stampin’ blend marker! What are your favorite coloring tools that Stampin’ Up! offers?

This stamp set also coordinates with the bunny punch which is currently unavailable til May 15, 2023. I do recommend purchasing the stamp set for Easter and then once that punch comes back in to add that punch too!!! I can not stress enough to all you crafters that when you see a product and you love it, you need to just purchase it so you don’t miss out. I have customers emailing me wanting the bunny punch now and I can not help them. I really wish I could.

Now lets talk about those dies!!! They are called the Radiating Stitches Dies and they are super sweet! They are general shape dies with those embellished stitching on them! You will be using them with all your creations! They are super fun! These were part of the Online Exclusives that came out March 1, 2023! There were several products released and this is something new Stampin’ Up! is offering. You will not find any of these products in catalogs, only online at my shop! There will be more Online Exclusives offered through out the year so if you follow me you will know in advance of when new products will be released! If you want to check out the Online Exclusive products head over to my shop here!

I am hoping to start blogging more regularly now. I always want to but time seems to always get the best of me. I really hope you guys are doing well and getting lots of crafting time.

Stay tuned…

Chris!
