Stamping With Kristen

Celebration Bracelet

One of the demonstrators in my group, Lyssa Zwolanek, had a fantastic stamping year.  She recruited 11 and sold $35,000!  At convention she found out she placed 83rd in the Demonstrator of the Year category which is a HUGE deal!  She gets to go on a trip with Shelli and other top demonstrators.  I felt so bad that I was not able to be there with her, so at my meeting I had people surprise her with cards and I made this bracelet for her. 

The top shows one side.  I used Delicate Doilies stamped in the background because that is part of the Suite that Lyssa demonstrated at convention.  I added glitter to a butterfly from the Beautiful Wings Embosslit as an embellishment.

On this side I first typed 83 and printed it since she was 83rd.  I then added more of the same background as the other side.

Our Simply Adorned Items come in this great brown box.  You can dress it up with a ribbon or add more like I did here with more of the Beautiful Wings embosslit and a Rhinestone. 

We have many great items in our Simply Adorned Line of products Shop Now.

This makes a great gift that you can personalize for anyone!

 

Make and Takes from Leadership

A highlight at any stamping event is the Make and Takes.  This year, Stampin Up! came up with some amazing projects!

This first project is a card Shelli's daughter Sarah taught us how to do using My Digital Studio.  They printed it for us, and we simply added ribbon to it. 

We made this card using Clearly For You, a new set from the Occasions Mini catalog.  We were given this set when we arrived.  I like how we crimped just the bottom of the card.

This is a case that the clear mount sets come in.  We sell them in the catalog.  We decorated the outside of it.  You can use them to give a set of cards or notebook.  Notice the key on the ribbon?  We used 4 keys on the different projects.  They are available in a pack of 4 in the mini catalog.  They come with jump rings and lobster clasps so the can easily clip on things.

My favorite thing we made were inserts for our Simply Adorned Jewlery.  They gave us a long chain and the 1.5 X 2" charm.  We made 3 inserts for it. I love that you only need to buy one charm, and can make many different inserts so it looks like a new necklace.  We used ribbon as a "chain" too.

 Here is a look of all the projects together. The container at the top is what all of our supplies came in.

We had a fun time!  Here are the demonstrators from our group that attended.
