Why should you host a Stampin' Up! workshop?

You ask, "Why should I host a Stampin' Up! workshop?  Well after this week's Sisters in Stamping posting, you will see exactly why.  There are great new hostess sets in the new idea book and catalog.  Plus, there is a new hostess program that you are going to absolutely love.  Gone are the days of level 1, level 2, or level 3 hostess sets.  Now each hostess set has a dollar amount attached to it and you can get any one of your choice (as long as you have enough hostess dollars).  Isn't that awesome?  I just had someone this week place a $150 order and she was able to select 3 sets for FREE, and all 3 of them were hostess exclusive.  Before she would have only been able to get one set. Cool, right?

Enough about that, onto today's card.  This card was created using the Faith in Nature hostess set.  This one is a beauty.  There are 5 stamps in this set, 2 words, a flower, a leaf, and a pear.

I went with some fall colors, Cherry Cobbler, More Mustard, and Always Artichoke to create this card.  I just did some random stamping on the background in all three colors. And then did direct to paper using the More Mustard pad along the edges of the stamped very vanilla cardstock.

Just a close-up view of the saying on the front.  I stamped the leaf image in the 3 colors on scrap paper and cut them out to add to the corner of the greeting.  They are attached with dimensionals (but you knew that already, right?)

And because the always artichoke cardstock is so dark, I added a piece of very vanilla cardstock to the inside of the card (stamped with a single leaf image) so you can write in this card and allow the recipient to actually read what you write. (smile)

Hope you enjoyed my card but don't forget to head over to Sisters in Stamping to see even more great ideas using this year's Hostess Exclusive sets.

And when you're done drooling over the awesome sets, call me to schedule your own workshop. Remember my customer received 3 hostess exclusive sets for her $150 order, way better than the old hostess program of only getting one.

Have a great weekend.  I'm busy, busy, busy this weekend.  Open house tonight (which you are welcome to attend) at the Sleep Inn in Dunmore (5:30 PM - 9:00 PM), Brittney's and Vinny's wedding rehearsal tomorrow and Brittney and Vinny's big Wedding Day on Sunday.
