Brian’s Week in Review: February 9, 2025

Today is Sunday – and that means it’s time to take a look back at the past week in my Week in Review post. It’s crazy how fast these weeks past – and this week was another crazy-wonderful one. I want to share a quick rundown of the week (for those who don’t follow me every day) with a little extra background (for those who already tune in daily).

Before I run through the posts from each day of the week, I want to give you a summary of the big Stampin’ Up! promotions launched this past week:

New Sale-a-Bration Items Added

Stampin’ Up! has added ELEVEN new items to the Sale-a-Bration lineup – products you can select for free with a $60 order. To see all of the additions, CLICK HERE.

Last Chance Sale Items Added (Great Discounts!)

If you like big discounts (and you know you do), you’ll want to check out the new (and newly discounted) products in the Last Chance sale listing. To read more about these new items, CLICK HERE. To see these new products in my online store, CLICK HERE.

Now, back to the Week in Review…

Monday

On Monday I shared a quick summary of this month’s Pumpkin in the Fungeon call with my Paper Pumpkin subscribers. We always have a great time chatting with each other and sharing the projects we’ve made. Such creativity in this group! Here’s a look at the cards I shared with the group during our call:

The cards in this kit are great as designed, but we still have fun making alternative designs. If you’d like to read more about these projects or look at the Paper Pumpkin products used to make these cards, CLICK HERE.

Tuesday

I never expect to receive cards for my birthday or for big celebrations, so I’m always surprised when lovely cards arrive in my mailbox. After my surgery in late January, I received a handful of cards that I love so much. I didn’t want to let all that creativity to stop with me, so I shared some of the cards with you on Tuesday. Here’s a look at the cards:

In my post, I share a closer look at each of these cards, including a few thoughts about each. What a honor to receive such beauties from these incredible ladies – I’m so happy I could share them with you. If you’d like to see the close up of each of these projects, CLICK HERE.

Wednesday

On Wednesday, I shared the 11 new Sale-a-Bration options (so many great reasons to place an order today!) and a new card with one of the familiar items added to the lineup. With the Planted Paradise stamp set, I made this sweet card with some of my favorite greens and a sentiment for the ages:

I felt comforted by the warm browns and greens I used to make this card. If you’d like to read more about the project or see all of the new products in the Sale-a-Bration lineup, CLICK HERE.

Thursday

On Thursday, I shared the two new kits that were launched this past week and shared that new items were added to the Clearance Rack (now called the Last Chance Products). If you haven’t taken a look at the Last Chance Sale in a while, NOW is a great time to do it! CLICK HERE.

One thing to note about the Heirloom Arrangements Kit that sets it apart from most other kits – the kits makes 8 cards (1 each of 8 designs). It appears there are a lot of beautiful elements in this kit – each is unique (no repeats here). Here’s a look at the finished projects in this kit:

Friday

On Friday I shared a bold, vibrant birthday card with the Planted Paradise stamp set, the same set I shared on Wednesday. This time, one of the stamps is used to create dinosaur tracks. What a fun find! How could I NOT pair these tracks with the Darling Dinos Bundle. Here’s the card I shared on Friday:

Saturday

Late in January, my career sales with Stampin’ Up! passed over the $1 million level.* With each celebration as demonstrators pass this milestone, Stampin’ Up! designs an incredible card and sends a special gift. As my achievement day approached, I’ve been really excited to see what my card would look like – and I wasn’t disappointed! On Saturday, I shared a step-by-step look at the card they designed for me and the gorgeous succulents they sent me.

Here’s one of the pictures of the INCREDIBLE card that unfolds and unfolds and unfolds:

I love my card so much and am so grateful for the outflowing of kindness and support that I’ve received. Happy to have this card to remind me of how special this achievement was for me.

* Stampin’ Up! legal requires me to tell you that the level of sales required to achieve this result is accomplished by less than 1% of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators.

I love that you’ve been with me for so much of this journey. I’ll have so much to share with you next week, too. I hope you’ll join me for the fun!

Thanks for stopping by today!
