KSL News) The CEO of a Utah company surprised some lucky Utah National Guard members with a special "tour of duty": a seven day cruise to Bermuda.
The Utah-based scrapbook company Stampin’ Up donated 85 cruise cabins to the guard to thank the soldiers for their service.
The unsuspecting winners received the good news today. One guardsman felt overwhelmed by the unexpected gift. "This has been kind of a dream come true. We’ve been married 22 years and I’ve been trying to get my wife on a cruise, just a three- or five-day cruise," Lt. Col. David Osborne said.
Many of the guard members selected for the cruise have served multiple tours of duty overseas.
Way to go Shelli! Just another reason why I love this wonderful company. They just care about others so much!
Bring your little stamper (6yrs+) to this fun class where they’ll create some great little projects for Valentine’s Day including a Lollipop Cover, Treat Bags, 2-4-6-8 box and more…all stamped with love of course!
My 7 year old daugher just got some pen pals this past week. They’ve agreed to hand stamp a card for each other each month and write a small note. She’s so excited. She loves to stamp and always wants to join my card swaps. I thought this would be a good alternative for her.
She even looked at splitcoaststampers to find a card to case this idea. So cute!
This card she designed all by herself. I think she’s going to be a future demonstrator some day, don’t you?! lol
PLEASE leave her a comment and let her know how great they are, she’d love to hear!
These 5 samples shared by Tracie St. Louis at my team Pizza Party earlier this month are absolutely yummy! I bet you won’t guess what the background paper is!!! Ok, I’ll tell you! It’s the paper that SU sends in their boxes as extra packing. She straightened it out and stamped on it! Don’t you think that’s so clever?! I know it’s something I’m going to try soon!
Make sure you leave Tracie a comment below to let her know just how great an idea this is! (Hi Tracie!)
I’m offering a DEMONSTRATOR SPECIAL: sign up before Jan. 20th, and you’ll get 5 free classic ink pads from me absolutely FREE!
On Friday, I hosted our quarterly Demonstrator Diva Night. My team has a chance to earn a spot at this special and exclusive event where they get to enjoy making some special stamped projects, friendships with other top demonstrators, yummy goodies and best of all SPA services.
Each demonstrator can get free spa dollars from me for different reasons such as bringing a make and take, a demonstration, getting promoted in their SU business or bringing a snack. On Friday 7 of us got pedicures and 1 manicure. Nothing like having pretty feet! 🙂
We had 3 fun make and take’s!
The first project was one of my club projects from this month:
In this project, we used the versamark plus a classic ink pad to create a sticky ink that we can emboss with. Have you ever done that?! It’s so easy.
Directions:
1) Ink your stamp in the versamark ink
2) Now place it in your Classic ink pad (in this example I used Ruby Red)
3) Then stamp it on your paper
4) Add your clear embossing Powder
5) Heat with your Embossing tool (no, a hair dryer DOES NOT work!)
Voila! Instant coloured embossing! Now you can emboss with any colour ink you have! Fun!!!
The second project created by Anne Morin, a very talented Quebec demonstrator in my group was this adorable envelope! It closes using 4 hearts from the Time Well Spent stamp set. Did I ever mention that this level 3 hostess stamp set was sent to ALL the demonstrator absolutely FREE, FREE, FREE!!! That’s over 50,000 of these sets sent out. Yikes!! What an awesome perk of being a demonstrator.
Here’s what it looks like closed.
Here’s what it look like opened.
And here’s the matching card that fits inside perfectly! Don’t you just love it?
The last make and take we had was brought by Trina St. Michael. She prepared this calendar using a CD case. What I love about it is that it uses almost all of my favourite in the SU catalogue: Embrace Life Stamp set, Ginger Blossom Paper, Dazzling Diamonds Glitter and Rhinestone Brads…oh my…how can you go wrong with all of these wonderful things. Ok, I feel like I should break into a song now. lol. Sorry about that. hee, hee
January is definetely a time for making that special calendar and I’m sure this great project by Trina will surely inspire you to create your own!
We had a great time at our Diva Night and I’d love to have you join me next time. If you’ve ever thought of joining Stampin’ Up! as a demonstrator– now is the time!
