We all Scream for Ice Cream Corner Card Ideas

I love the Ice Cream Corner suite almost as much as I love ice cream cones! I have made 3 fabulous cards to share with you today featuring the Ice Cream Corner patterned paper and the Ice Cream Cone punch as part of the Pretty Cards & Paper International Design Team Blog Hop. I have three cards to share with you today that take full advantage of the colorful and fun Ice Cream Corner patterned paper and the Ice Cream Cone Builder punch. Plus, I have a neat trick for making banners with the punch!

Why I Love being a Demo:
​ Free Stamps

I've already talked about 3 reasons I love being a demo: community, pre-orders, and starter kit value. Today, I want to share a 4th reason. While I love the fun images in the Ice Cream Corner suite, I love even more the fact that I got it free! One of the things that I love about being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator is the opportunity to earn free stamps. There are a number of different ways to do so.

1. As a hostess or customer: You probably already know that when you host a party you can earn free Stampin' Up! product. As a demonstrator, I can still take advantage of this awesome reward! When I submit orders over $150, either a group of smaller customer orders or my own order, I can get the host benefits for that "party!" Likewise, when there are customer promotions, like Sale-A-Bration, I can also earn those rewards. This isn't true for every direct sales company, so it's definitely something I love. 
2. Attending events: Many Stampin' Up! events also include goodies - like free stamps!
3. Prizes: Occasionally, there are company-wide challenges or special incentives within my team where I might win free stamps.
4. Product credits: During Sale-A-Bration, demonstrators can earn product credits. Also, when you reach the 2nd level in Stampin' Up!, you begin earning 2% of your quarterly sales as an additional product credit. How awesome is that?!?

If you would like to start earning free stamps as a Stampin' Up! demonstrator, I would love to talk to you more about it! Just leave a comment and send me an email and we'll chat.
