What happens when 12 Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from across the globe collab to create inspiring content? It’s a fun filled event you can enjoy from the comfort of your air conditioned coolness. Yes, it’s unusually hot, hot, hot where I live. So it’s a good weekend to stay inside and stamp with us!
This event is open to my customers that are my Facebook business page fans. Being a FB page fan is how I can invite you to the group. Using an email address to extend the invitation no longer works. Like/subscribe to my FB business page here https://www.facebook.com/superawesomestamper Then send me a FB PM and ask to be added to the group.
I kick off the event at 3pm central time on Friday, June 11th. I hope you are there to watch the fun or watch on replay too! This event features tons of projects, ideas, tips, tricks and random prizes too! Hope to see you in the group!
The Elegantly Said stamp set and Elegant Tag punch are designed in a favorite style of mine, chabby chic. I do love a good scroll! So I had to feature them in my next batch of Kits in the Mail. The stamp set and punch are new products introduced in the new 2021-2022 annual catalog that went live in May.
The “Z” makes an interesting card front.
The Z Fold greeting card kit features 1 of the Night of Navy design and 1 of the Cinnamon Cider design tucked inside our medium cello envelopes and includes 2 basic white envelopes as shown below.
Please note that the stamped images are not included in the kit (images on both tags, scroll and lace ledge) since Stampin’ Up! does not allow us to include stamped images in our kits.
Good Morning! The brand new 2021-2022 annual catalog is live! Start browsing the copy you received from me and then decide between 2 promotions to help fill your stamp shelves!
If your shopping list has a few lines, you might consider the Join+ promotion because you get to pick which products to purchase that value $155 while only paying $99 plus tax. You can then start to enjoy the demonstrator discount on your future orders shortly after you receive your demo id. It’s like using a coupon for every order! Full details and sign up is online through my website by clicking these words.
The second promotion rewards you for connecting and crafting with your stamp circle whether that circle is just you or you want to include your stamp friends too:) During this promotion, host your friends for a Zoom Make Along party. I’ll take care of mailing the make along kits, providing the Zoom link and sending you the graphic below so you can invite your friends to the party. Your friends place an order using your host code. When your party reaches $250 in sales (excluding shipping and tax), you earn $25 more host dollars to spend!
As always, if you are placing an order that is under $150 (excluding shipping and tax), please use the host code that is published on my blog on the right side. The host code changes every few weeks. Click here to use the current host code which is VCTWDJ9X. If your order is over $150, do not use a host code (and try to get your order to $250 so you can earn the $25 in extra host rewards yourself). Click here to place your order if it is over $150.

Thanks for stamping with me!

We set a date for the Zoom, I’ll mail the kits and then we can chat while I demonstrate kit assembly over Zoom. We can close your party on Zoom night.

Bees have always fascinated me. It probably goes back to the days when we lived in the country and had fields to wander in. Plucking the flowers to present to Mom while observing the insects buzzing by. I remember learning that plants feel pain too as evidenced by their wilting once they were plucked and their nutrient source was broken.
Fast forward to attending an informational session presented by Shedd Farley of the Farley Center in Verona, Wisconsin. Shedd spoke of how the center came to be and the programs offered in their mission of Peace, Justice and Sustainability.
One program is their New Beekeepers Program which offers an in person class following a year in the life of the honey bee. I kept his talk in the back of my mind thinking someday I would take the class. I decided to sign up for the class in January 2020 not knowing what a different year 2020 would be. This is a ripple effect that actually started with their newspaper article that was published many years ago.
Farley Center Beekeeping Program Mentors are Patrick Norby and Matt Kersten. They did a fantastic job answering all our questions and offered insight based on their bee keeping experiences. The year started with package install and ended with honey extraction day and fall clean up. I shared a few photos on my Facebook page from last year. I will be starting to blog our bee keeping journey for this year. So I hope you follow along!
I am excited to share the bee package install videos below. Om Bee One hive is the first video that starts with commentary from my parents, the B and B part of the endeavor (Barb and Bob). The Gnome Sweet Gnome is the second video and gets right into the install.
Although I have produced over 400 paper crafting videos for my Youtube channel, these are the first two beekeeping videos. I was not sure what to expect for video quality since filming is outside and I am a distance from my camera phone. So please be kind and I’ll improve the production value as I go along.
I’ll be sharing more bee videos and bee blog posts as we move through the seasons for educational and scientific purposes since the horizontal Layens hives are not as common as the vertical Langstroth hives. Women bee keepers on the internet are even less common; let’s fix that with sharing my videos and posts:) We used Langstroth hives during the Farley Center class but I decided on using Layens hives instead after doing much research on the internet and reading books. I had time in 2020 so I made plans;) One bee keeping Youtube video a day, keeps the doctor away, haha!
I hope you enjoy the educational and real world experience of honey bee keeping from Zone 4 in Wisconsin, USA!
