Project of the Week: Nature Walk Top Note Card – Hand Stamped Cards with Josee Smuck-Stampin' Up! Canada Demonstrator

There are a lot of cool things about being a Stampin' Up demonstrator, but hands down one of my favourites is the magazine called Stampin' Success that we receive in the mail each month. It is packed full of business tips, and great samples. This card is inspired by one from the February issue of Stampin' Success and features the Nature Walk (W121925/C121997) stamp set from the Occasion Mini catalogue.

Did you that the Stampin' Up starter kit is on sale as part of Sale-A-Bration? Right now the kit is 15% off and comes with an extra bundle of free product including the color coach, a simply sent kit, a coordinating simply sent stamp set and the punch of your choice. If you'd like more info about the starter kit special, I'd love to talk to you, so just email or call me.
