The card I am sharing today was created using Stampin’ Up! A Child Is Born Stamp Set.  This is an easel card and a CAS of one Mary Deatherage created a month or so ago, though hers was not a fun fold.  You can find it on her blog.

A Child is Born Stamp Set, using VersaMark ink and Silver Embossing Powder, and a heat tool to set the embossing powder.  Also, stamp the star image in VersaMark ink, then sprinkle Silver Embossing Powder and set with a heat tool.  Stamp a greeting from Stampin’ Up! A Child is Born Stamp Set in VersaMark, sprinkled with Black Embossing Powder, then set with a heat tool.  Die-cut the greeting using a die from Stylish Shapes Dies.  Adhere the greeting with Stampin’ Dimensionals and place it on the card front as shown in the photo above.

One of the perks of being a demonstrator is to pre-order before a new catalog launches, and the Online Exclusives we get to order before they are released to customers.  You will also be getting at least a 20% discount on purchases. If you love card-making as a hobby, you can still be a demonstrator and get that discount to help get more card-making items,  or you can be like I was and buy Stampin’ Up! products for 10 years before I became wise enough to become a demonstrator to get the discount.  When I think of all the stamping products that 20% would have brought over those 10 years, I cringe.

  Being a part of the Stampin’ Up! Community is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.  Are you new to papercrafting and cardmaking and don’t know where to start, but would like to join to save?  As I said earlier in this post, I’m here to assist you in any way I can.  Ask me!
