Welcome to our IDEAS blog hop for March. We are 10 international Demonstrators with a tutorial bundle for you.
My projects are perfect for beginner stampers, busy crafters, kids, and given the many embellishment options, fun for avid crafters. It's quick and easy to make a big set of cards in a custom box with the Memories and More cards and matching bases and envelopes. And the cute bunny flower decoration is perfect to go with Easter Lilies or with a bouquet of flowers. Do you see it nestled with the tulips? I hope you like these projects and the projects from my fellow IDEAS demonstrators. It's really a great bundle of spring, Easter and appreciation projects. Keep hopping so you can see all the creativity. The bundle is 57 pages of detailed full color instructions. Each
tutorial features at least one card and one project, some include multiples.

I received this cute card from my team mate Laurie Wilber. I love it!!!
Here's a close up of the piggy - so cute.
She used this set from our annual catalog. It's so versatile, I used this for Valentines, and for thank you's and more.
I also like that Stampin Up created a bundle - so the set, 2 blends (our alcohol markers), a block, ink and notecards. So if you are new to Stamping, you have everything you need in this bundle. And it's just over $50 (it's $53) so now you qualify for a few Sale-A-Bration item. For every $50 you spend you get to choose an item (stamp sets, paper, embellishments)... lots of choices!
This month I'm giving all my customers the Happiness Blooms dots (if you order is under $50 you'll get a half sheet) or over $50 you get the whole sheet. Thank you Laurie - your card made my day! MaryKate
Lots of Sale-a-bration news today. Sale-a-bration is a 3 month Stampin Up promotion where you get a free item for every $50 you spend (or bigger/wower items) when you spend $100. Here's a video showing you the new FREE paper and stamps. You can choose both items (for free) when you spend $100. OR you can get just the paper (for free) when you spend $50. It's a quick video but it really shows you the pretty paper and how to get the handpainted effect very easily.
There many new free items for the $50 purchase.
I love the pearlized doilies (you get 2 for your $50 spend). And the Laser Cut paper is really pretty. To make it easier to see the options I suggest to click on this link and you'll go right to the Stampin Up! site and then just click on Sale-a-bration. See the blue arrow?? Click on this link and go to SHOP You'll also see coordinating framelits for sale, there are dies to match the frog set, the cupcake set... you can find these using the same link but click on Sale-A-Bration coordination.

This gorgeous card was created by Susan Morrison my team mate. I just love it. It's a combination of Valentine's and thank you!!
You can see more of her work at 207ColorfulCreations.com. Here's a few detailed close ups
You can see she used Blends (our alcohol markers) super easy to use and to get the dark and light shades as each color has a dark and a light. You color the light and add some dark and then more light. That's it.
The ribbon is fun, it's in the annual catalog. And there are matching dies to this stamp set. This set was given to us at Convention and we have all used it a lot, for birthday, thank you and Valentine's day.
You might recognize it, if you are a Paper Pumpkin subscriber. Last month we received 24 pillow boxes with some of these cute animals. In that kit we had the Kangaroo and the Chameleon. Don't forget to subscribe by the 10th of the month! I hope you visit Susan's blog - lots of pretty and colorful ideas, happy crafting, MaryKate
Hi crafters We got news of the March Paper Pumpkin - it's 8 full size birthday cards and there's a big free stamp set included!
Paper Pumpkin is a monthly subscription (you can buy 1 month or 3 or 6 or 12) and everything you need is in the box. Stamps, ink, supplies, embellishments, and your first box has the block. One box, everything included! It's $20 a month (bit less if you buy more than a month). I should receive February's soon and I'll post on that (it's succulents!). To get the March kit, you must subscribe by March 10 (from time to time they run out) so don't wait til 11pm on March 10 :) Thanks for choosing me as your demonstrator! Happy crafting MaryKate
We have fun as a team of demos - most of us are hobby demos (and we love the 20% discount) but some of us make it a great part time business. This gift is to celebrate Cathy Jones - and she is a dazzling demonstrator. I love these glitter dots (well I like just about any dots!) I think anything is a gift with nice packaging. This is quick, just a 6 x 4" piece of designer paper and topped with a flower. I showed the team how to make this flower, it's super easy. You use the Vase punch, and punch out 8 vases (these are the petals). Give them a curl with your bone folder. Start with a 3/4 or 1/2 circle and that's the base, the layer the petals in 2 layers (so 4 vases at the bottom and 4 at the top). Then add a 1/2 circle or other embellishment. I added leaves with our leaf punch. It works best with liquid glue and then let it sit and dry for a good 20min as it takes quite a bit of glue. Yay for Cathy - hope she liked the gift! It's a great time to join Stampin UP, you spend $99 and get to choose anything at all worth $175 (so $76 in free anything). No obligation beyond $99. And then you have 20% off everything at Stampin UP. Let me know if you have questions, here to help. Happy crafting MaryKate
Hi crafters I received some lovely cards in the mail and wanted to share them with you.
Here's the collection (one I made). They all use these great framelits with the Be Mine set. These hearts are going to be a keeper for me. Sometimes I sell my retired items but this set will be around in my craft cupboard for a while. You get a lot with 1 die set... so many that I had to cut out the whole collection and put it on a page!
Here's one from my extended teammate Suzanne. She used the whisper white notecards (finish at 5 x 3 1/2) and her layer is 4 3/4 x 3 1/4, with two hearts.
And the inside with Love and an epoxy heart in the o -do you see it? Technically this is a thank you card but I like it for Valentine's Day, or a Hello or a Thank you.
Here's one from my team leader Suzie - I won a little competition (random drawing I wasn't clever or talented!). Her card finishes 4 1/4 x 4 1/4 (so it fits into a regular envelope). The Lipstick layer (at the back) is 4 x 4 and the 4 squares of the designer paper are 1 7/8 x 1 7/8. I'm going to make a similar card - I love this design! and I like her foil heart - foil is free right now as a Sale-A-Bration item (spend $50, choose a free item, send me questions MaryKate@MaryKateScott.com)
And here's mine. Same notecard as Suzanne with my back layer in Flirty Flamingo 4 5/8 x 3 1/8 and my designer paper is 4 1/2 x 3 the tiny edge showing is designed to match the thin heart shape, and the thin "love you" - that was part of the Well Written set (one of my top 10 favorites in the new Occasions catalog). A very versatile set.
Simple cards -- but they really made my day. I hope you make a card, put in it the mail and make someone smile. Real mail (not window mail) is so nice to receive! happy crafting, MaryKate
My projects are perfect for beginner stampers, busy crafters, kids, and given the many embellishment options, fun for avid crafters. It's quick and easy to make a big set of cards in a custom box with the Memories and More cards and matching bases and envelopes.
