It's a Minion Party! Today's youtube video is for Part II of my Minion Series, the Birthday card. Which also could be a party invitation if you were having a Minions Party. These minions are so stinkin' cute, created from the Stampin Up Owl Punch, with google eyes...you can't help but smile when you see them.
I also have a bonus card Minions idea at the bottom of this post. It was created with punches.
Today's card is a beautiful "trifecta" of Stampin Up "watercolor" stamps: Watercolor Wash, Watercolor Words and Watercolor Wings all combined for Watercolor Awesomeness!! The butterflies were cut from Cherry on Top DSP and the Bold Butterfly die. The "celebrate" is from the Natural Elements wood accents.

Happy Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog Pre-Order day!!!
What does this mean? As demonstrators we are able to start ordering from the upcoming Holiday Catalog this morning. It's sooooo exciting!!! My demo group has been buzzing all morning on our Facebook group, it's so much fun. If you want to be the first on your block to get your goodies, you can join Stampin Up (even if it's just for a discount) and get Holiday Catalog pre-order items in your demo kit.
"I'd be lost withuot you" card of flowers. Created with the Cottage Greetings stamp set and colored with Stampin Write markers: Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry, & Melon Mambo. Designed by Veronica.
One of the many, many things I love about being a Stampin Up demonstrator is getting to be the first to see and play with all of the “new toys” that come out. At the annual Convention last week we each got the upcoming 2015 Holiday catalog, we won prizes from the new catalog AND were able to "sneak peek" order from it EVEN before demonstrators can "pre-order".
Here is the video of my Holiday Catalog “box opening” Haul.
2015 STAMPIN UP HOLIDAY CATALOG CARD SWAP
The 2015 Stampin Up Holiday Catalog is almost here! As demonstrators we can pre-order from the catalog beginning August 1 (see demo website for details on pre-order).
Customers will be able to order September 1.
To kick it off, I'm hosting a card front swap open to all demonstrators. A great way to get some fresh ideas to show your customers, and use as class projects.

I've just returned from Stampin Up's Convention in Salt Lake City, UT and WOW...what an amazing time. The fun, the friends, the inspiration. I went with my mom this year, she is in my downline. In Stampin Up world, I'm HER mom lol.
I love being able to spend time with my Stamp It demonstrator group, so many of us are spread out across the country that we don't often get to hang out in person. We had members of our group attending from Alaska to Hawaii!! I posted live updates as they happened on my Facebook Page throughout the event. I'm still on a "high" from all of the excitement, haven't stopped smiling since I returned home.
THANK YOU!!!!! I am so overwhelmed and awed by being honored with 2015 Top Sales (#4), Recruiting(#5) and Top Leadership (#6) Awards as well as being one of Stampin Up's US Top 100 Demonstrator of the Year 2015 called Founders Circle.
Even more rewarding to me is the achievements from my Stamp It Demonstrator Group. These gals were "rocking" the convention stage "like a boss" this week! Congrats to:
I've just returned from Stampin Up's Annual Convention in Salt Lake City, Utah. I attended with some of my Stamp It Demonstrator Group, and met friends there, as well as made many new friends. What an amazing event! Aside from having fun and spending time with friends, one of my favorite parts of any Stampin Up event is the swapping.
really cool "You've Got This" card from the Stampin Up Bohemian Borders stamp set. Build your own borders, backgrounds, and lines with the geometric designs in this set. The background texture is from the Boho Chic folder, and the Bohemian dsp. Designed by Sheri Meyer.
Have a dino-ffific birthday card. The Stampin Up No Bones About it is not your average dinosaur stamp set. It's a "Two-Step" Stampin' set so you can combine stamps to build your image in the colors you want. It makes a great set for the boys. Designed by Veronica.
More beautiful watercoloring on today's "I'm here for you" sympathy card. The flower is heat embossed with white, then painted with aqua painters and ink pad refills for this beautiful effect. Design by Siara Acdal.
The timeless sentiments and images of the Best Thoughts stamp set stand on their own or you can combine them with your favorite stamp sets for more options. This is a "hostess stamp set" which you can earn free with an order over $150, or when you host a club, workshop or ghost party.

This is such a beautiful card from the Butterfly Basics bundle (stamp set and Butterflies thinlits die). Love the color combo of Crumb cake and Blushing Bride. the background splatter effect was created with the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set. Designed by Pam McLean.
Lots of "watercolor" effects on this card without a single paint brush, or aqua painter. True story, the 2-step watercolor butterflies were stamped from the Watercolor Wings stamp set, and the words are from the Watercolor Words stamp set. Designed by Veronica.
