???Common Questions???

Do I have to sell stuff? 

NOPE...you can just purchase at the discount for yourself. There is never any pressure from me, my team, or the team I'm on.

What's the minimum?

Each quarter (every 3 months) you need to purchase $300 before your discount to stay active = to $240 after your discount. Right now you have the rest of this quarter and all of next quarter, that takes you all the way to Dec 31, 2018 before you have to get your $300 minimum.

What happens if I don't reach the minimum? 

Nothing really...you go back to being my customer. You don't owe anything back to Stampin' Up! And you get to keep all your Starter Kit that you chose.

It's a WIN WIN...worst case scenario, you get $200 worth of stuff for $99 and FREE shipping...and if you never purchase another thing...you go back to being my customer.

I would love to have you as part of my team :) Any questions please contact me – email – nicern1@gmail.com

Remember...this special ends July 31st. Don't miss out :)

#221 Birthday Week Day #6 Giveaway

What a day I had :) 

Started out with sleeping in :) Who doesn't love to sleep in? To me sleeping in just means I don't have to wake up to an alarm :) 

I was able to play in my craft studio for a bit, and then off to brunch with my girls.

We went to a C'est la Vie a French Creperie

AMAZING!!!

Crepes and a flight of mimosa's

It's phenomenal 

We decided to spend the weekend with my mom at the beach so that is how we ended our evening. 
On the beach...a beautiful bald eagle even came and landed near us and hung out for like 30 min. I think it's because I was born in 1976 the bicentennial.lol Just sayin' 

Today's giveaway is 

The Party Panda Set, a memories and more pack and some super sharp snips :)

To enter this Giveaway just comment below and tell me the most adventurous thing you have done. 

I'm not a very adventurous person, for me the answer would have to just be a water slide that I went on in Vegas when I was 16 that was a capsule where the floor dropped out and you slid just about vertical for about 75 feet.

That adrenaline feeling is just not so fun for me.lol

Do Disneyland and California Adventure Parks count as adventurous?lol Those I can do.

Congratulations to....Cyndi Sossaman!

You won my favorite stamp set for my Birthday giveaway.

Hope you are all having a wonderful day

#214 6x6 Designer Series Paper Storage Solution

This is the most amazing storage solution EVER!

What do you do with your 6x6" Designer Series Paper? 

I know what I did...I stacked it and never in a great place.

BUT NOW....you can put together this super fun and sturdy storage solution AND you get to use your beautiful Designer Series Paper

This project was CASE'd (Copy and Share Everything) from Tiffany at Pretty in Paper Crafts who case'd it from someone else.

However that said, the files attached for you to download to have pictures and instructions were designed by me. I found that I needed something that I could really look at to make sure I had it all scored and cut in the right places. I hope that you find it helpful. 

What I love about this storage solution

• It fits my paper that I couldn't fit anywhere else previously
• It is sturdy
• It didn't cost me any $$, just a few sheets of paper
• Each back of paper fits perfectly
• You can take out each holder to use and then put back later. 
• You get to use your Designer Series Paper to decorate
• It's SUPER organized!

Watch my video below showing you exactly how to put it together and don't forget the directions you can print out below as well!

Click HERE to download directions

Supplies needed

• 2 sheets of cardstock for each paper holder. 5 paper holders = 10 sheets of paper for the holders
• 1 sheet of cardstock for the base
• 1 piece of DSP enough for (2) 6 1/8 x 1 1/4" and (2) 2 1/2 x 1 1/4" 
• Circle Tab Punch
• 3/4" Circle Punch
• Tear and Tape
• Adhesive
