Here's a sneak peek of the August kit - just so you can see what one is like:

Do you want to learn to make your own greeting cards?

Have you stumbled across my blog because I love to make cards and you want to learn how to do it too? You have come to the right place!

I have been a Stampin' Up! demonstrator for over 15 years and have definitely found my passion in life! I never thought of myself as an artist, but have come to realize that being an artist doesn't just mean art hanging in a gallery or store or on the walls of people's homes. 

Art is expressing yourself. However you choose to do so. And I chose card making as a way to express my inner creativity and love doing it too.

So what do I do as a Stampin' Up! demonstrator? I share my love of card making with others, through this blog, my Facebook page, my Pinterest page, and on Instagram. My favorite, though is on YouTube. I post a video each week sharing a card idea that you can copy and make at home. Of course I hope that you will purchase these products through me but even if you have another demonstrator I hope that I can still provide you with inspiration. 

Stampin' Up! has a brand new brochure to help you get started.

They feature five products that are perfect for beginners. Some of the products are from our current catalog, but others are exclusively found only in this brochure. Click on the brochure image above to download a copy to your desktop. 

One of the products in the brochure is Simply Citrus. Have a look at the video below to learn more about this fun product:

This stunning kit is an easy way to get started making your own cards. The kit makes 15 cards (3 each of 5 designs). 16 printed envelopes (8 each of 2 designs). A few of the other things this kit contains is 10 yards of Calypso Coral and white Baker's Twine, 60 vellum die cut flowers and it is all contained in a super cute printed cardboard box. The colors used in this kit are Calypso Coral, Mango Melody, Just Jade, Garden Green, Night of Navy and white.

If you like what you see and want to get started I am happy to help. I am happy to consult with you as you decide:

• what you need to get started
• your favorite colors
• what kinds of cards you might like to make
• any other questions you may have

Feel free to email me (anytime!) at: terri@nutzaboutstamping.com and let me know when you are free to chat.
