I used the Friendly Foliage Bundle to make my card today. I used Online Exclusive exclusively on this card today (minus the cardstock and the ink). I also used Brushed with Beauty Designer Series Paper, the Three Banner Punch, Paradise Garden Hybrid Embossing Folder and Pearls of Beauty.
I started off with a piece of Calypso Coral for the base of my card (you can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List). Then, I embossed a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Paradise Garden Hybrid Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Next, I adhered the embossed cardstock to the front of my card.
I stamped onto Basic White cardstock the foliage using Garden Green ink and the Friendly Foliage Stamp Set. I cut the piece out using two pieces in Friendly Foliage Dies ( you can see the picture below as to how I did this). I used Scotch Removable Tape to tape my dies down to the plate.
I made a layer of Basic White cardstock and Brushed with Beauty Designer Series Paper. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and I added the piece to the front of the card.
You can see a picture of how I added Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals and Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the focal point.
I stamped my sentiment directly onto the banner which I punched out using Basic White cardstock. I used the Three Banner Punch to punch the banner. I used Calypso Coral ink using the Friendly Foliage Stamp Set. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the sentiment (only on the right side) and adhered it to the front of my card.
To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card and I added three small Pearls of Beauty in Calypso Coral to the card front.

My Story: when I purchased the Starter Kit in 2009, it was solely for the discount. I loved the products and would go through the catalog numerous times from cover to cover every chance I got! The Starter Kit is completely customizable and you can choose what you want. When I joined, the kit was preselected by Stampin’ Up! so I love that you can pick what you want now. I love being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator!
The Stampin’ Up! Starter Kit is for someone who loves purchasing Stampin’ Up! products and also loves getting a 20%+ discount! But, it’s also for the person who would like to start their own business and share their love of paper crafting. You never have to sell or have a party (unless you want to). See below for frequently asked questions about the Starter Kit.
Commonly Asked Questions
- If I purchase the Starter Kit, do I have to sell Stampin’ Up! products to my family and friends? No, you are under NO obligation to sell. You can be your only customer. Of course once your friends see the cute cards you’re making, they’ll want to buy their stamping supplies from you.
- Will I receive a discount on any products I buy? Yes!! This is the best part! You’ll receive at least a 20% discount on all your purchases.
- Do I have to buy/sell a certain amount of product? The quarterly minimum is $300 in product (which is only $240 after your discount!) that can be from personal orders, online orders or ones from family and friends. The quarters are January – March, April – June, July – September, October – December. Once you join, your quarterly minimum begins during your first FULL quarter.
- What if I can’t make the quarterly minimum? You’ll simply be dropped. No one will hassle you. No one will bother you. It truly is risk free to purchase the Starter Kit!
Are there other perks to purchasing the Starter Kit? Yes! Here are just a few:
- The Starter Kit ships FREE!
- Approximately a month before new products are released, you’ll be able to participate in a preorder and purchase brand new products ahead of the public
- Attend Stampin’ Up! events like OnStage
- Personal purchases of $20 are eligible to receive Stampin’ Rewards. Yes, demonstrators can also receive Stampin’ Rewards!
- Complimentary copy of each current catalog from Stampin’ Up! Once the preorder begins, a complimentary copy will be included in your order. If no preorder is made, the catalog will be included in the first order placed during the catalog sales period.
- Free access to the tutorials I give to my customers!
- You wouldn’t have to have your quarterly minimum until July 2026
