STAMPIN' UP! SPECIALS



Being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator is so rewarding. Not only do I get to be creative every day, I also get to be a creative coach, offering fresh project ideas & encouragement to my customers & friends.


For me, helping someone put together that perfect project for a special occasion is the best feeling in the entire world.


After all, creating cards, scrapbook pages, & gift items is about more than just stamps & ink — it’s about sharing a part of yourself with the people you love.


I come from 30+ years of being a maker with Close to my Heart & I am excited to share the creativity & many exciting things I have learned over the years -- come join me in the next years to come! -- Margit

Stampin' Up® News!


 

 Yes - you have read this correctly - Stampin' Up®. It has been a while since I checked in here, lots has happened and I will not go into detail for everything. But - for this page last year after a number of years of health issues the owner of Close to my Heart decided it was time to close the doors. Many of us were heartbroken. In my case, I was a consultant for 30 years. But as always, I looked to the future. So, as Close to my Heart closed the doors in April. I started a new journey with Stampin' Up® in May 2024. I do hope you will come along in my new adventure.

 And an adventure it is - SU just introduced two tone cardstock, flip flaps - does that sound familiar? I am so excited! Also, the scrapbook workshops have the same type of guides as we used with Close to my Heart. Our new designer, my former upline, Karen Pederson, now works for Stampin' Up® as well designing and teaching these workshops virtually. In fact, this summer we will have Virtual Scrapbook Retreat - how fun is that?

 So, lots of great things coming.

 I invite you browse my new website as I update this blog with our new specials, etc.

 Thanks for hanging in there with me!

 Happy crafting,

Happy April to you all, -- Margit

 

Hello and thank you for stopping by!

This is my first attempt on a blog - can you tell? I am sure you can. From what I have learned about blogs they are like an online journal and you are getting a peak into my soul ...

At this time I am trying to learn how to post my artwork with watermark and copyright and all that jazz -but I a, learning. My plan is to post my work and along with it I will explain what I used and how I made the project.

As we go along, I will also give you a peak into my life. I will share some pictures of my family, places we have been, places we have visited. So, please come back and visit often. Just know, that I am very new to this blogging thing! So, at this time - any help you can give me is highly appreciated in growing my skills in "blogging".

If you live close to me and you would like to join me in my craft place or one my crops please, check my calendar for any upcoming workshops!
