3/$5 Card Making Night - November

A couple of weeks ago, I held my November 3/$5 card night (holiday themed, of course!) It was an awesome turn out and I think each of the ladies had a lot of fun. Many of them decided to make 2 sets of cards, so I was glad that I had made up lots of extras!

My card night fell during the week before Thanksgiving, so I knew it was the perfect time to add a Thanksgiving card to the "card menu".


Stamp Set: Day of Gratitude

Paper: Old Olive, Cajun Craze, More Mustard, Early Espresso, Very Vanilla, Autumn Spice Specialty Paper

Ink: Cajun Craze, Old Olive, markers: Cajun Craze, Old Olive

Accessories: Decorative Label punch, basic pearls, Dimensionals

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

I saw this card at Laurie's Stampin' Spot and instantly fell in love with it! I only tweaked a few things (mostly the sentiment) because I adored everything about it.


Stamp Set: A Cute Christmas, Teeny Tiny Wishes

Paper: Baja Breeze, Real Red, Whisper White, Candy Cane Christmas Specialty Paper

Ink: Basic Black, Real Red, markers: Baja Breeze, Pink Pirouette, Real Red, Garden Green

Accessories: 1/4" Real Red grosgrain ribbon, Snowflake punch, Scallop Oval punch, Modern Label punch, basic pearls, Dimensionals, Dazzling Diamonds glitter

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

I thought it might be fun to add a little something different to this month's card night, so we made a gift card holder. I found a quick and simple tutorial on how to make these. I used the Two Tags Die to make the portion of the gift card holder that comes out and attached a piece of tape to hold the gift card in place.


Stamp Set: Season of Joy, Occasional Quotes (sentiment - Hostess Level 3 set)

Paper: Very Vanilla, Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, Jolly Holiday Designer Series Paper

Ink: Cherry Cobbler

Accessories: Scallop circle punch, 1 3/8" punch, 1 1/4" punch, scallop dotted trim, sticky tape, Dazzling Diamonds glitter, 1 1/4" striped Old Olive, Two Tags Die (used with Big Shot), Dimensionals, silver elastic cord (retired)

and the winner is...

What Kind of Demonstrator would you like to be?

Discount Demonstrator:

You like the idea of buying stamps and supplies for your personal use at a 20 percent discount and occasionally selling to neighbors, relatives, friends, etc.

Seasonal Demonstrator:

You work hard for a short period of time or season to earn a specific amount of money or to achieve a specific goal, and then you maintain minimum orders and sales during the balance of the year.

Hobby Demonstrator:

You love doing workshops and earning extra money when it is convenient. You work a lot some months and very little other months. You will do workshops if they are easy to book, and maybe have a regular group that meets together once a month. You enjoy the rewards that being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator brings, but you don’t plan to make Stampin’ Up! a career.

Career Demonstrator:

You view Stampin’ Up! as a viable business with long-term career potential. You pursue a management role, and you want to continue moving up with your Stampin’ Up! career. You love attending Stampin’ Up! events and have close relationships with other demonstrators. You work at your business in a consistent and outgoing manner.

How you make Stampin' Up! yours is up to YOU! Maybe this isn't the right time for you to throw yourself into a new business, especially with the holiday season fast approaching. Have no fear...buy the kit now at this AMAZING price and decide later on how you would like to proceed as a demonstrator. You will enjoy demonstrator privileges through March 31st.
