Hello Stampers

So many times I have been asked by new customers where to begin with stamping? 

The catalog is very overwhelming to new customers and even returning customers.  I usually suggest to start with the current "Mini" Catalog, but if that doesn't suit your fancy, there are other ways to get into rubber stamping and creativity to get started.

We as demos are asked a lot by our company what we need help with and this has been an ongoing question with many, so Stampin' Up! has come to a solution for you (and as being a demo, I love it too!

We were asked as demos to "Pick A Kit" survey to complete.  The results are in and here is what the majority of us demos "liked"....Fancy Friends

Fancy Friends Kit   October 29, 2012

 Get everything you need to make six cards for only $15.95 (item 132319)! If six isn't enough, add Note Cards to your order (item 107311)-we've already included extra rhinestones in the Fancy Friends kit.

To assemble the cards:

1. Stamp the doily image in Daffodil Delight or Old Olive ink three times on the card and once on the envelope, re-inking between uses.
2. Stamp "Friends" in Daffodil Delight or Old Olive ink on the front of the card.
3. Adhere the flowers to the card. Adhere Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the center of the flowers.

I am loving this idea and cannot wait to get stampin' myself...my order has been placed and if you are interested, be sure to get on over to my SU demo website (address on the sidebar) and give it a try...what a great gift idea to give to someone that always admires what you create and wants to get started yourself?  Package this beauty of materials in a hand-stamped box or bag and you will be the hit of the receiver!

Have a great day and Happy Stampin'
