I love this card! The design was inspired by a card created by Kylie Bertucci, an Australian demonstrator. I loved her card and wanted to make my own! I made a few changes but I really do have to credit her original card.
The stamp set I used was Ribbon of Courage with the matching Support Ribbon Frameits Dies (purchase both and save 10%). The stamp set was inspired by Patty Bennett, a Stampin’ Up! Million Dollar Sales Achiever! It’s a stamp set with so much meaning behind it.
Using the heart stamp and Rich Razzleberry ink, I stamped directly onto Whisper White cardstock. More hearts were stamped in Berry Burst on a separate piece of cardstock and cut out with the Support Ribbon Framelits. I added Stampin Dimensionals to the backs and attached them to the card front.
The base of my card is Berry Burst as well as the scalloped circle for my sentiment. I embossed the sentiment, also from the Ribbon of Courage stamp set, using Versamark ink and white embossing powder. It was cut out with the Layering Circles Framelits. Stampin’ Dimensionals were also added to the back before placing it onto the front of the card.

The other day my daughter mentioned that she needed to cut hearts in multiple colors and shapes using felt and wondered if I had anything we could use to cut them out. YES!! We pulled out the Big Shot and the Sweet & Sassy Framelits and started die cutting!
Did you think that the Big Shot only cut paper? You can also cut fun foam, fabric, thin sheets of cork, vellum, and felt. When I had my own classroom, I used to cut shapes out of fun foam and use them for projects and games. With the wide variety of shapes available, the possibilities are endless!
If you’ve had your eye on a Big Shot, knowing that you are able to cut so much more than just paper with it, gives you more reasons to have one of your very own!
For more information about the Big Shot or the Sweet & Sassy Framelits, or to place an order, click either picture below and you’ll head over to my Stampin’ Up! online store.

It’s Tool Time Tuesday and today it’s all about the Embossing Buddy (it’s on page 201 in the Annual Catalog). The Embossing Buddy is a MUST when embossing.
It’s quite simple to use but makes a world of difference to your finished project. By simply rubbing it over the surface of your paper, you’ll prevent small pieces of embossing powder from sticking to your paper. Once you heat emboss the powder, it can’t be removed. Sometimes you can’t even see where extra embossing powder has landed on your paper but once you heat it up with the heat tool, it’s too late.
Here are the steps when embossing:
- Prepare your paper by rubbing the embossing buddy over the surface.
- Stamp your image with Versamark Ink.
- Pour embossing powder over the stamped image and shake off any excess.
- Even though you’ve used the embossing powder, there’s a possibility that stray bits of embossing powder are on your paper, so use a fine brush to brush them away.
- Use the Heat Tool to heat your image and watch the magic happen!
I love to emboss and it never fails to make me say, “Wow!”
If you’re interested in trying out embossing, you’ll need the products below (the embossing powder I reach for most, is white). Click on any of the products and you’ll head to my Stampin’ Up! online store!

Have you heard about the new alcohol markers in 12 exclusive Stampin’ Up! colors, Stampin’ Blends, from Stampin’ Up!? These pens are so new, they aren’t even available yet unless you’re a demonstrator.
If you’d love to purchase the Blends during the pre-release, only for demonstrators, Join My Team as a demonstrator before October 15th. You can add them to the Starter Kit or to any of your future orders with a 20% discount. Click here to join the fun!
Frequently Asked Questions About the Starter Kit
Do I have to sell Stampin’ Up! products? No, not unless you want to. You can join just to get your discount of at least 20% off everything you personally buy. But of course, you do have the option to sell to others. When I joined, it was purely for the discount!
How much is the Starter Kit? The Starter Kit is $99 but when you sign up you can choose anything out of the Annual or Holiday catalog to include in your kit BUT you’ll choose $125 worth of product. PLUS, and this is a biggie, SHIPPING IS FREE on the Starter Kit. You can get that Big Shot you’ve been wanting or anything else you’ve had your eye on or the new Stampin’ Blends. When I joined Stampin’ Up!, everything in my kit was selected by Stampin’ Up!, so I received a few things I didn’t care for. I love that today you can choose exactly what YOU want.
What are the requirements to continue receiving the discount? Every quarter your sales (this can be your own personal orders) need to reach $300. When you first join, you have a complete quarter to meet this minimum so that means that if you join today, your first full quarter won’t begin until January so you’ll have until March to reach that goal. To continue to receive all the demo perks, meet this minimum. If you don’t want to continue after March, simply stop purchasing from yourself or selling to others and you’ll simply be dropped but you’ll still have your Starter Kit and all of the products you purchased using your discount.
What are the perks of being a demonstrator?
- At least a 20% discount on everything you purchase from the catalogs including the Clearance Rack.
- Preorder products before catalogs are released.
- Stampin’ Success, a quarterly magazine, just for demonstrators.
- Access to the Demonstrator Only Stampin’ Up! website filled with training and support.
