Dare to Dream
When I first joined Stampin’ Up!, I was a little worried about how I was going to come up with ideas for cards. What I didn’t know at the time was that Stampin’ Up! has a wealth of resources available exclusively for demonstrators. One of the fun things that came with my demonstrator kit was the August edition of Stampin’ Success magazine. This is a resource of business tips, class and workshop ideas and best of all: card ideas created by other seasoned demonstrators!
Have I told you how much I love the Betsy’s Blossoms stamp set and the Loving Thoughts sentiment sets? I know I have! I saw a version of this card in the demonstrator magazine and just had to make my own interpretation. I kept the colors shown, but I changed the sentiment. The original card also had a piece of gumball green ribbon in place of the strip of gumball green paper I used since I did not have that ribbon. (Yet!) I love this card! The colors make me happy! These are the new In Colors for 2012-2014 and I can’t stop creating with them.
I really thought the “Dare To Dream” sentiment was perfect here as well. For me, I’m taking a chance on creating a blog and starting a business of my own. I would love to have you join my team! We can grow our businesses together and create a successful team! I would love to help other motivated people start and build their own business!
