guestSTAR: Mackenzie Fuchs Celebrating Mom and Dad

Today I'd like to introduce DOstamperSTAR, Mackenzie Fuchs.  She's a newer member of our STARS community and her creativity is inspiring.  I invited her to be our May guestSTAR on our DOstamperSTARS private facebook group (a social sharing group for members of my Stampin' Up! downline).  Take a look at a couple of her projects celebrating Mom and Dad.

Celebrate Mom

This double Spiral Flower Die Topiary is just gorgeous!  She offers a fabulous picture tutorial on her blog here. 

Celebrate Dad

Any Dad would enjoy this Chevron Ribbon Tie card!  She shares a " How To" graphic on her blog here

Didn't she do a great job?  Thanks for sharing your talent with us Mackenzie!

Speaking of DOstamperSTARS...

Recently I've been receiving several "requests to join" our private facebook group.  This is a private group, exclusively for STARS.  You too can join our wonderful community of STARS, when you join Stampin' Up! with me!  With Sale-a-Bration going on, now is one of the best times to join and I'd love to have you join my Community of STARS!

PLUS:  Stampin' Up! is offering free Convention Registration to new demonstrators.  Wowee!  That's like a $295 gift, to experience the most awesome Stampin' Up! event of the year!

When you join the STARS Community, here's what I can offer you...

• A variety of ways to connect, learn, and grow (and of course, have fun!)
• Connecting online:
• Private Blog - for reminders, swaps, videos, challenges, training and more.
• Private Facebook Groups - general business and creative chatting/sharing, swapping, blogging, convention group and more!
• Meetings - both local and online or virtual
• Recognition & Incentives
• surPRIZE Patrol on Facebook
• Personal Growth Opportunities
• New Demonstrator Support
• Additional Training Support to grow your business
• Welcome Gift  - view choices here
• One free class from Dawn
• Getting Started emails - to help you move in the right direction

I also get frequently asked... "How can I make it work?"
That's a great question!  The answer is...that's up to you, your goals and the amount of work/effort you put into it.  Everyone is different, so success looks different to each individual person.  For some, success is making their $300 quarterly order requirement.  For other's, succss is making additional money to cover a household bill or more (or buy more stamps!).  Either way -  I'm here to support and guide you in through the process.  That's what I do best.  If you reach out and want the help - I'm here for you!

Here's some basic information about joining Stampin' Up!:

• Types of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators
• Career Plan
• FAQ's (common questons and answers, a must read!)

Additional information can be found HERE 

I look forward to you joining my STARS!

Guest Stamper Sunday: Robin Anderson

It's Guest Stamper Sunday and today I'm featuring another DOstamperSTAR, from Minnesota, Robin Anderson.  

Robin joined Stampin' Up! a couple years ago and this year started doing stamp classes.  She's having a lot of success with them and has been sharing some of her class cards with our group.  She doesn't have a blog.  However, I believe she shares on Facebook.

Here's a couple cards from her most recent class...

Jolly Bingo Bits (120857w or 121187c)

 

Poinsettia made with Bird Builder Punch (117191)

 

How clever is this card?  She used mulitiple Silver Glimmer Paper (124005) trees to make a full tree!  The tree and star shape are from the Merry Minis Punch Pack (126882) and includes an ornament shape too. From the Holiday Catalog ending Jan 2nd.

 

Robin's last card is a personal card she made for her fellow handbell choir members.  The bell uses oval punches.  The clever handle is from a retire set called Something Sweet.

Doesn't she do a great job?  Thank you Robin , for sharing your talent for cardmaking with us.  It makes me smile!

This is made with the Orchard Harvest Designer Fabric Collection found in the 2012 Holiday Mini Catalog.  More pics and description can be found on her blog,  Stampin' With Heidi Blog .  Be sure to:

Guest Stamper Sunday: Laurie Zoellmer

DOstamperSTAR Laurie Zoellmer is my Guest Stamper today.  The one thing (among many) I like about Laurie is, she isn't afraid of trying new things.  Someone like myself, might say, I'll try that some day.  Not Laurie, she just dives right in and does it!  Like her first project, No Sew Fabric Paper Snip Holder.

First of all, Laurie chose the super cute Summer Smooches Designer Fabric - love it!  Plus, the beauty of this little holder is, it's cut with the Petal Cone Die.  I love her finishing touch of the flower (Blossoms Party Originals Die) and button.  She even put together a photo tutorial on her blog, so you can make one too!  See the link below.

This card is a perfect example of Laurie's stamping style, clean and simple (CAS).  It features the Lacy & Lovely (122885w or 122887c) and Betsy's Blossoms (126004w or 126006c) stamp sets.

I have to let you know...Laurie has been laid up for a couple weeks as she had surgery on her thumb.  She is on the mend, but it's been a struggle for her to stamp and prepare for her classes.  She hasn't asked for any help.  I even offered to help her with cutting for her classes and she said no, thanks.  It's gonna be a few more weeks before she's fully mended and back to her normal stamping activity.  So be sure to stop by her blog and give her some lovin'!

You can find her at Laurie's Stampin' Spot Blog and be sure to:

• Check out her No Sew Fabric Paper Snip Holder Tutorial
• Check out her Lacy and Lovely Card and supply list 

Thank you Laurie, for sharing your talent and love of Stampin' Up! with us!
