I shared a covered note book that I send out as a Gift, last week. I have been asked by a few people to show you how I cover the book, so here we go. It is really easy, trust me on this.
I use a standard Exercise Book as the base, which happens to to be the perfect size to use a half sheet of Designer Series Paper. So I just cut this at 6" and stick to the front of the book with Fast Fuse, lining it up at the top of the book. I then trim the bottom off the paper and save this for later when it comes to covering the chocolate bar I include in my Gift Pack.
I add a piece of ribbon around the spine, a few appropriate Die Cuts to the front (using the wonderful Multi-purpose adhesive sheets to make it REALLY easy!) and it is done. As I said at the beginning, this is really easy.

Wrapping a gift is great fun, but so is making the card. Yesterday you saw me do the former, so today it is time to make the card.
Now you will have to forgive me, but I did have a bit of a senior moment part way through the video. I would have put money on having used the double sided adhesive sheet on the Glimmer Paper, but I clearly didn't, as you will see.
I did enjoy pulling lots of bright colours and using the FREE dies from the Sale-a-bration catalogue for the wording.
I am really quite pleased with the result, particularly as I know the recipient well, so knew she will appreciate the thought.
If you are wondering about the gift tag I didn't get round to making yesterday, come back tomorrow and you will see that and the complete package.
I really do find such joy in celebrating my Team Members' success,.

Yesterday I told you how I welcome new members to my team, but I do so much more than that.
One of the best events for me is when one of my Team hits a Milestone.
Whether that is a first Milestone of hitting their first quarterly minimum or something more, like promoting, it will be time for a celebration and a gift from me.
Today starts the process of putting together a gift package for one of my Team who has just hit her first quarterly minimum. I have put together a little pack of goodies and want to make a box to present them in. She loves Unicorns and Mermaids, so the Myths and Magic Suite were an obvious choice.
I chose the Mermaid paper, which is more a lightweight card, and matched it with Berry Burst Cardstock and Finely Woven Ribbon. I measured the dimensions I needed for the box base and sides and used these to calculate the size of card. In this case I needed the base of the box to be 6 x 5" (15 x 12.5) and the sides to be 2" (5cm). This meant I needed my card to be 10 x 9" (25 x 22.5cm)
As this is a box with a lid, I wanted to make sure that they were a snug fit, but not too tight. To do this I find it easiest to just trim 1/16" (1.5mm) from the top and side of the base. I then scored each side on my Simply Scored Board at 2" (5cm), turning it each time. The lid was scored at 7/8" and 2" (2.25 x 5cm) to allow for the lid to be reinforced.
Having constructed the box it was then a simple case of filling it with my signature yellow tissue paper and the present before tying it all together with ribbon and a bow.
Come back tomorrow to see the card I made to go with the present.

Whenever anyone joins my Team I get really excited because I love my Team growing, but it is also an excuse for me to craft! Not that I really need an excuse to craft, but focused crafting is something I am less good at. A new Team member means I can make them a card to welcome them. I cover and decorate a notebook and wrap up a little bar of chocolate (I get that I am in a minority when it comes to liking chocolate, or in my case not).
But I also send some bite sized bits of information about finding your feet when you first sign up as a Demonstrator. How to get started if you want to run classes or parties, or just getting together with a few friends and crafting together.
My team are not all local, so I also let new members know how I keep in touch with them, and more importantly, how they can contact me if they have any questions. I also arrange Team meetings, both in person and via Facebook Live. I want my Team to know I am there for them if they need help, but I also want them to help each other. We can all learn something new, so sharing ideas and inspiration is very important.
Now that you have heard a little more about my Team, why not give the Starter Kit a test drive and see if being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator is the right thing for you. Remember that during Sale-a-Bration you not only get to pick £130 of product of your choice, you can also add any 2 stamp sets from the Annual or Spring/Summer Catalogues FREE, which means your Starter Kit could be worth over £200. Remember, you only pay £99, including Postage and Packaging.
The sooner you take your Test Drive the longer you are guaranteed to get your 20% Discount on all your orders, without any obligation. You will have until the end of June to meet your first Quarterly minimum, which means as a Demonstrator you can order from the new Annual Catalogue in May, a month ahead of Customers.

Do you want to know how to get the best from Sale-a-Bration? If so you are in the right place. I am focusing many of my projects on exactly this over the next few months.
I am loving how many ways you can use the Beautiful Peacock stamp set and this time I have combined it with another favourite, Brushos. Watercolour paper and white embossing powder provide the perfect canvas to then show off the amazing firework display that Brushos give.
For full details of all the amazing offers available until the end of March take a look at my Current Offers Page; trust me it will be worth a visit.
The video will show you all you need to know in order to try the Emboss Resist Technique with your Brushos. It really is such fun, I can't get enough of it.
