One of my favorite things about being a Stampin’ Up Demonstrator is that it has introduced me to an amazing community of people!

From my fellow Demonstrators to my fantastic customers, I have a circle of friends and colleagues whom I treasure, and I can honestly say that if I wasn’t a Demonstrator, I wouldn’t even have known they existed!

If you’d like to plug into that community, and build a community of your own, I’d love to tell you more about becoming a Stampin’ Up Demonstrator. Give me a call at 920-385-6023.

BONUS TUTORIAL - Grassy Grove

Creating a Sympathy card can be difficult as your thoughts are with the bereaved and you may not be in a creative mood.

Q and A: Storing Markers and Blends

My friend says ink markers and alcohol pens need to be stored standing up and I say they need to be stored lying flat. Who’s right?

Stampin’ Up! recommends that both our Stampin’ Write Markers (ink) and our Stampin’ Blends (alcohol) should be stored lying flat. Doing so keeps the ink equally distributed between the fine and broad tips. The best way to store both Markers and Blends is with our Storage Cubes.

Our Marker and Blends Storage Cubes are on page 124 of the Annual Catalog.
Marker Assortments, in every Color Collection, are on page 126.
The 40-piece Many Marvelous Markers (page 126 #147154) [all colors in each Color Collection] come in a sturdy, hard-plastic case with extra space for In Color Markers.
Stampin’ Blends for our Color Collections are found on pgs. 122-123; Natural Tones Stampin’ Blends are on page 128.
