"Create With Us" Project Tutorials

Happy Sunday!

Well isn't THIS a flashback to long ago?!?  Tamara blogging on a Sunday morning!  What the heck???  I knew I had gotten away from weekly blogging for a while now, but I was SHOCKED when I really looked at my posts, to realize it has been TWO YEARS since I consistently blogged on Sunday mornings.  Holy Cow!  I knew life had gotten busy but two YEARS???  Yikes!  A few weeks ago Stampin' Up! had a weekend of training for Demonstrator Leaders and, in that event, we needed to set some goals.  Goals that would foster PERSONAL growth as well as BUSINESS growth.  There are a few areas I want to work on for personal growth; continuing my "health" journey (fingers crossed that tomorrow, when I weigh in, I will be down 30 pounds!), reading a book every month (that may be VERY ambitious, given that I currently read one a YEAR) and starting to exercise (ya ... we'll see about THAT one lol).  For my business growth I want to do SO many things, but one of them is to get back to more frequent (and consistent) blogging!  I DO love to blog.  It's really like a diary for me as I just blather away about my week and my projects.  So here I am, trying to get back into my Sunday morning routine and sharing more projects with you.

For five MONTHS I have wanted to share THESE particular projects with you and tell you about a Tutorial Group I am in.  First the projects ...

Created with the Sweet Strawberry Bundle ...

Created with the Sweet as a Peach Bundle ...

Created with the Pansy Patch Bundle ...

Created with the Expressions in Ink Bundle ...

Created with the Sparkle of the Season Bundle ...

(hmmmm ... looking at them all in a row I DO see a bit of a "style" to all my cards.  Apparently I like layers, angles and more die cutting than actual stamping!)

These are some of my very favourite cards I have made over the last 6 months.  Why?  Because I got to sit and play and play and play.  I got to create what I WANTED to create, not what could be created/reproduced quickly and/or without too many supplies.  Those are the types of card I generally need to create for my Mystery Card Monday's live events (that you can find on my business FB page "Tamara's Paper Trail" here every Monday night at 7:00 pm MT) or for my virtual classes.  The cards above could be created without restrictions!  The only "rule" is that it is focused on a particular bundle.

Now ... about these Tutorials ...

I have joined forces with some of the very best Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Designers around the globe to put together tutorials that we can then offer to our customers and teams.  Each month we create a project using a given Bundle and a PDF Tutorial is produced with full written and photo instructions on how to make each of the 15 projects.

Check out this lineup of Stampin' Up! Awesomeness!

I am SO blessed to have been asked to join this group of artists!

So how do you get your hands on one of these Tutorials?  There are two ways.  

1. Canadians: You can get one free with an online order.   I will send you one tutorial for every $60 you spend in my on-line store, using the hostess code I provide to you.
2. Anyone in the world:  You can purchase one for $25 CDN via etransfer to an email I provide to you.

Easy!
