New Stampin' Up! Online Exclusives Coming Soon



 



Today's projects give you sneak peeks into some Online Exclusives products that will be available November 7, 2023. I was able to pre-order them as a Demonstrator. We have a great Starter Kit Special going on right now, that is ending soon. You could order these terrific products for yourself.


The Garden Meadow Bundle has a set of 16 stamps along with matching dies. I stamped some on watercolor paper, and used my Aquapainter to color the images. You can see several on the card above.





The Meandering Meadows 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper pack is gorgeous. The images were hand painted, then photographed to create  amazing nature scenes. I also made a 2024 Calendar using one of pieces.






Last, but not least there is a matching pack of embellishments. The Dragonflies & Birds Adhesive Backed Embellishments match perfectly!





I will be back with more projects featuring these wonderful, new products! If you don't want to wait until November 7th, you can join my Jean's Jewels Team. This is a marvelous special that ends October 31st, 2023.

Stampin' Up! turned 35 years old this month, and to celebrate they are offering a choice of getting the starter kit at 35% off, or 35% more in the kit! That means you get to choose $125 of anything you want for only $64.35, or $168.75 of anything you want for only $99 … both with free shipping!!!!



But that’s not all…

You also get to attend the virtual Stampin' Up! OnStage Event in November…. another $77, value for free!!! Now that’s a deal! 

In addition to these special perks:

This is a starter kit and there is no obligation to do anything other than enjoy getting the deal! As long as you are active, you will receive a 20% discount. If you don't want to sell, there is no problem. Most demonstrators join for the discount, and maybe sell to a few friends.

I would love to have you on my Jewels Team! I hold monthly virtual meetings, and we have a lot of fun! Contact me for more information.
