Today its fun to share many responses we got from our listeners as we continue this conversation about repurposing and using what we have. To see the actual tour visually - go here

40 Cards for Lent
stampingonthebackporch
Many of us think of giving something up for Lent. How about using Lent also as a time to focus on giving? Lets get creative in who we sent cards to this month. I like the idea of making a list of 40 people during the 40 days of Lent because it will take us beyond the obvious. In this episode we talk about different ideas for making those 40 cards meaningful.

Project Pocket Quilt Cards!
stampingonthebackporch
On a Facebook live I made eight quick and easy pocket cards and challenged my viewers to make and post one over in my Facebook group - the Back Porch Stampers. Over 200 pocket cards. Have been posted - how amazing is that!!! Then Jjlie Heitz, a team member and friend, called with an idea. "The moment I stamped “sending healing hugs” my heart felt something. A quilt, a hug and I thought “this quilt could be the hug someone needs during these Times”. Then my mind started racing and I had to contact Karen with an idea that was put on my heart. “Would you be interested in...

Celebrating Galentine's Day!
stampingonthebackporch
We had no idea what Galentine's Day was when we received a Galentine's Day card. I actually thought it was a misspelling - and Tim won this argument. There is a funny story about how this became a holiday - dating back to 2010 and an episode of Parks & Recreation - but what a great reminder to celebrate those platonic friendships! Those friendships we can count on though all of life's ups and downs - we are so grateful to have those. This is a reminder to thank those special people in our lives - and to share a story with them about how they have impacted our lives. We would love to hear...

info_outline25 years ago this month I started my papercrafting business. So much has changed in our lives since then!
Tim's job had just ended, I was homeschooling our kids and I wanted to find something to bring in some money at least temporarily in the evenings until you found another job.
I had never considered direct sales - never thought I could sell a thing - but I thought I could show how to make cards. I mean, after all, people wouldn’t even be looking at me - they would be watching my hands and what I was creating.
Little did we know that 25 years later Tim would be working with me. We would be having a blast creating and connecting with wonderful people all over the country!!!
Along the way I have met so many new friends and I have welcomed many people that have joined my business. I decided to ask a few of them why they joined and I’m going to share their responses later …. But first I just wanted to mention a couple of things first.
Did you know that there are several different ways we can make money with a paper crafting business?
But first —— Why Pay Full Price? If you are already buying stampin up products - why not get a discount? Starting with 20% off anything you buy
___no obligation
—- never any pressure from me - this really is all about you!
How do I make money?
Of course, if you are just buying for yourself - you are saving money - but what if you want to make money — or even just have your hobby pay for itself?
Or plan a vacation for some day in the future when we can do that again
Or maybe you want to build an online business.
Make $ 6 ways.
Three ways from Stampin' Up! - Commission on products, building a team, bonuses
Other ways: Class fees, finished product sales (cards & gifts at craft fairs or online), special orders, designing projects & selling tutorials
**Think you can’t teach? Have you ever stamped with a grandchild or a friend and shared an idea with them? You are already a teacher —— we all are!!!
So much opportunity to hold classes over Zoom - a small group that looks forward to getting together each month
The Fine Line Community!!!!—- This is my downline group - you get my online classes for free, weekly lives and encouragement and sharing from the team
Get it first! Get new catalogs first & order a month before customers
Card Swaps
From the home office —- SU website, conventions, Facebook groups and more
So - Do you know what the best deal in the catalog is????
It is definitely the starter kit! For only $99 (and no shipping which saves your another 10%) you get to choose $125 of anything you want in the catalog - plus this month and next, you also get five new paper packs!
Who is this for????
**For the beginner —— what an opportunity to get started with an awesome kit and a discount on everything else you need
**For the avid stamper —- you know you want the latest products anyway!!!
