GuestSTAR: 10 Berni Baio Projects to Share!

Today I'm sharing a whole lot of cards from my friend and DOstamperSTARS team member, Berni Baio. 

Berni's been a member of my team for 8 years.  When she first started, she was just learning about stamping and card making.  She's come a long way with her crafting and especially likes fun fold cards (as you will see).  Plus, she's not only great about making cards, but sending them too!  It's always a nice surprise when I see her envelopes in the mail.

Check her projects...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Leave a comment for Berni and I'll pass it along to her. 

Also - she shares her project on her Pinterest page, which you can find here

Thanks for stopping by!

Enjoy~Dawn O

GuestSTAR: Mackenzie Fuchs Swap Angel

Today I'm sharing a couple of cards made by DOstamperSTAR Mackenzie Fuchs. She was a "swap angel" for our last swap (filling in for someone else at the last minute).  She rose to the occasion with flying colors.  Every time I walk past my display with her cards - I just have to smile.  She has such a talent and I'm so glad she was able to be our swap angel. Take a look...

Didn't she do a fabulous job?!  Be sure to check out her blog Do All Things (she shares her craft room re-do, it's awesome!)

Meet Mackenzie...

I had been looking for a place to go and make cards because I did not have a lot of supplies so I googled "card making classes mn" and Stampin' Up! popped up. After finding the demonstrator in my area I saw that she had an upcoming card class and I emailed her asking if I could join. After attending the class and wanting EVERYTHING in the catalog, I ended up placing a few orders over the course of a few days. I was hooked!

So I started to think about the demonstrator opportunity in the back of the catalog--was it for me? I'm not the most outgoing person and my network isn't very large so I wasn't sure I would be able to sell to other women! I did know one thing though, I wanted everything in that beautiful catalog! I started researching what it meant to be a demonstrator and found some great blogs about how you don't have sell to others to be a demonstrator, you can join to enjoy the demonstrator discount (be a "happy shopper"). My heart fluttered! I could have my cake and eat it, too?! Yay! I contacted Heidi, my demonstrator, and asked her what she thought.  Before we could even meet to talk about it, I just signed up!  I couldn't wait to get my order(s)!

It has been a year now and I am in love with all the ways Stampin' Up! takes care of their demonstrators

• preorders for all the new catalogs
• events where I can meet up with other women that love what I love
• all the opportunities to stay inspired

This truly is a unique opportunity and its so easy to find inspiration! I always like to tell people that I love Stampin' Up! because everything coordinates. I used to go to the local craft stores and see many, many cute things I'd like to use but then I realized how they are all in different collections and none of those collections coordinate. That just doesn't work for me; I need to know that all my supplies are going to work well and play nice together.

If you're thinking of joining Stampin' Up!--DO IT! You won't regret it and you will fall even more in love with stamping (and save some money in the process). 

I think she said it perfectly!  Are you like Mackenzie and want to be a "Happy Shopper"?  Then joining now may be the right time for you.  During Sale-a-Bration (ends March 31st), you can select an additional gift of either...

• Option #1: Choose a FREE Simply Created Project Kit from the occasions catalog with your Starter Kit (one of 5 choices).

• Perpetual Birthday Calendar Project Kit [137950]

guestSTAR Sharon Bennett: Fall Idea with Truly Grateful

Each month on our private DOstamperSTARS facebook group, we feature one person as our guestSTAR of the month. This past month, Sharon Bennett was our guest.  She had a "Fall" theme for her projects.  Take a look at one of them...

This one was probably my favorite project (though, they all were fabulous!)  I loved the way Sharon created the leaves...they look so real. Plus she used one of my all-time favorite stamp sets, Truly Grafeful (131730w or 131733c)

She's posted all four of her projects on her Crafty and Creative Ideas Blog.  Be sure to check it out.

I want to thank Sharon for being such a fabulous guestSTAR!

Enjoy~Dawn O

guestSTAR Robyn Rasset: Featuring Blendabilities!

Quick update:

The ever-popular Endless Birthday Wishes Photopolymer stamp set is in again.  Get yours today before they are gone again!

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Each month on our private DOstamperSTARS facebook group, we feature one person as our guestSTAR. This past month, Robyn Rasset was our guest.  She shared several projects featuring the new Stampin' Blendabilities Markers.  Take a look at some of her fabulous projects...

Sweet Briar Rose

Robyn's Tips for Blendabilities and Heat Embossed Images & Pearls:

• Heat emboss the Sweet Briar Rose (133806) stamp (with White Embossing Powder), then use the Stampin' Blendabilities Markers to color the embossing.  Just run the tip of the marker over the embossing to give it a sheen of color.
• Use Stampin' Blendabilities Markers to color Basic Pearl Jewels for a glossy colorized look.
• Click here for more details

Blended Bloom

Isn't Robyn's Blended Bloom (135906) flower dropped-jaw gorgeous?!  Find more details on Robyn's Blog here.

Be sure to check out more of Robyn's Stampin' Blendabilities Marker Projects:

• Blendabilities Sky and Ground Tips
• Skin Tones Blendabilities

Didn't she do a fabulous job?  I never knew you could color heat embossed images with Blendabilities.  I can't wait to give it a try myself.  Thank you Robyn for sharing your talent with us!
