Demonstrator Training December 2018 Blog Hop

Welcome to Kylie’s Demonstrator Training Blog Hop. You are visiting Tatiana in Australia. This blog hop is with a group of Stampin’ Up!® Independent Demonstrators who are taking part in Kylie’s Demonstrator Training. Our training is to help build our own Stampin’ Up!® businesses. My goal from this year’s training (our Stampin’ Up!® year started on 1st October) is to learn more about what is needed to earn the 2021 incentive trip!!!

The training group is filled with so many wonderful demonstrators from all over the world. I am loving being a part of this supporting community. It can be challenging when you want to turn Stampin’ Up!® into a business that supports your family and not knowing where to start and that you are going about things the right way can be confusing and overwhelming on your own. This training gives us ideas a pointers on how to build our business. Part of our training is blog hopping!

This month’s card I created using products from the upcoming 2019 Occasions catalogue and combined them with my product of the week Shimmer Paint. I also set myself the challenge to make a masculine birthday card that was still “my style” and I think I’ve achieved this goal quite well:

All supplies used in this card are shown at the end of this post in the thumbnails. These are linked to my Stampin’ Up! online store.

To create this card:

Card Base: Whisper White Thick
Card Fronts: Granny Apple Green and Costal Cabana cut using the 4th largest Rectangle Stitched Framelits Die

1. Take your card base and card fronts and flick Bright Copper Shimmer Paint onto them. I used a dry Aqua Painter and flicked the brush tip on a scrap piece of card stock. TIP: use some Grid Paper to protect your work surface. Allow to dry. If you want you can do this to the envelope too!
2. Die cut the words happy and birthday from the Well Written Framelits Dies in both Basic Gray and Basic Black card stock. You can only die cut one set, I recommend Basic Black if you only use one.
3. To assemble:
   1. Adhere the Granny Green card front to the card base using Liquid Multipurpose Glue
   2. Attach a strip of the Costal Cabana / Granny Green Reversable Ribbon to the back of the Costal Cabana card front and then adhere to the card base.
   3. Using the sponge glue method (Liquid Multipurpose Glue with a Stamping Sponge wedge) adhere the Basic Gray sentiment to the Basic Black with the latter slightly showing to create a shaddow appearance. Adhere to card front.

My colour scheme was inspired by the new Costal Cabana / Granny Green Reversable Ribbon. I’m in love with this ribbon. It is soooooooooo pretty. I know ribbon isn’t quite masculine, but here I’ve used it as a bit of a banner.

I am loving being a demonstrator. It has brought so much to my life. One of my favourite parts of being a demonstrator is that you can do as little or as much as you want with your business. You can simply enjoy the discount (YAY) or you can work towards building a business like I am with this group of amazing demonstrators.
