So sadly Sale-a-bration is coming to an end – I love this promotion, it’s awesome to pick free product for every $50 you spend. But it’s nearly over for another year – we have until tomorrow to grab any needed free products and to stock up on basics to keep us going until next Sale-a-bration! And one thing that you might put on your list is the 2015-2017 incolors which will retire at the end of June. The retiring list is due out in about 2 weeks and then the in colors will disappear rapidly. So stock up now before they are gone forever and also when you can still get Sale-a-bration freebies!

And just to give you a reminder of some of the fun products that you can get for free, here are a few of Stampin’ Up!’s own videos showcasing them

There are also only 2 days left to get a free selection of ribbon and sequins (6 yards in all) when your order is $30 or more and you use the code; the current Stampin’ Rewards code is 34ANVEHC (if your order is over $150, don’t use the code, you get the rewards, but you still get the free gift).

This morning Stampin’ Up! launched a new promotion for people who join Stampin’ Up! between January 1 and March 31st. Not only do you get to select TWO FREE STAMP SETS when you join during this time (that’s a value of up to $104) but if you meet your $300 minimum sales quota by the end of June, you get another FREE STAMP SET. That’s on top of the already awesome joining deal where you select $125 of product with free shipping for only $99.

Here’s the free stamp set that you will earn, depending upon when you submit qualifying sales (sales to yourself count!). In the US, CSV is the same as dollars – it’s just a reporting method to allow comparison globally.

Details

• Promotion period: Apr 1–June 30
• Promotion is open to demonstrators who joined from Jan 1–Mar 31
• Demonstrators qualify for one set during the Apr–June promotion period; they may redeem their set the month after they submit qualifying sales of 300 CSV or more.
• Only one set will be rewarded regardless of the amount of CSV submitted.
• If a demonstrator joined Stampin’ Up! from Jan 1–Mar 31, 2017 and already submitted qualifying sales of 300 CSV or more before April, they will receive the Better Together Stamp Set.
• Stamp sets will be redeemable on the first demonstrator order placed after the tenth of the month following the month the reward was earned. When you pull up your order, you will immediately receive an option to redeem your set; you will also receive a list of suggested items to create the project featured in the class video.
• • Each class video will include:
    • A PDF flyer with a sample card using the earned stamp set
    • A list of supplies needed to make the card; this PDF will be available before the demonstrator needs to place her order (in case she wants to add these supplies to her order).
    • A link to a training video created specifically for the earned stamp set; these videos will also be made available on Stampin’ University after the stamp sets are redeemed.
  • Stamp sets may not be exchanged

Here’s a close look at those three stamp sets:

Better Together (normally $37 clear mount, $49 wood)

Big On Birthdays (normally $27)

Birthday Banners (normally $17)

Now, I don’t mean to rush you, but you have only FOUR days to join Stampin’ Up!’s family and be eligible for the new Ready. Set. Earn. promotion and also, I note that the cost of the free stamp set reduces through the months of April to June. So for the best value you need to sell/buy $300 by the end of April.

It’s easy to spend the $300 when you’re first starting out because there are so many tools that make life easier and it’s far better to put in one large personal order per quarter than three smaller ones, one each month. Let me explain – if you have a $100 budget and put in a $100 order, you get no Stampin’ Rewards. If you put your budget money together and put in one order of $300, you get 12% Stampin’ Rewards on that. So $36 FREE product. If your budget is a bit bigger and you can stretch to a $450 order, you not only get 14% Stampin’ Rewards (that’s $63 in free product) you also get to select an item at 50% off. This is perfect for the starting crafter because you can get your Big Shot, a $110 item, at half off.

See you tomorrow,

Well this is exciting and, I believe, a first. There’s a third and final release of products that can be obtained for free during Sale-a-bration. So until the end of March, for every $50 you spend (not including tax or shipping) you get to select one of the products already released OR one of these new seven, the final Sale-a-bration offering.

Please note that as of right now, the card tin and the glimmer paper are no longer available. You must use the item numbers in the above flyer for these items to be free rather than catalog price. Don’t forget that the extra $25 of stampin’ rewards at a $250 and above order ends at the end of March as does the fantastic joining offer of 2 free stamp sets.

Please use the Stampin’ Rewards code to get a selection of ribbon and sequins (6 yards in all) when your order is $30 or more; the current Stampin’ Rewards code is 34ANVEHC (if your order is over $150, don’t use the code, you get the rewards, but you still get the free gift). Click here to go to my online shop or here to join my team. To sign up for Paper Pumpkin, click here. For more details on my Customer Loyalty Programme, click here.

See you tomorrow,

Just 11 days to go in Sale-a-bration!

There’s some Stampin’ Up! News to share this morning and a couple of things that I wanted to point out. So let’s get to it!

Next month there’s a Stampin’ Up! party called Onstage! It’s where the next catalog is revealed to demonstrators and we get to play with new product (and even order some of it), watch presentations and hang out with the Stampin’ Up! family . We also like to make lots of a single card and swap with others so that you get a whole host of samples. This year, head office has given us a list of a few of the current stamp sets which will be in the new catalog in case we wanted to make our swaps with sets that will definitely be around for another year.  This makes these sets a really good buy – here they are:

Dragonfly Dreams (item 142924)
Jar of Love (item 141587)
Banners for You (item 141710)
Touches of Texture (item 141934 W/143251 C)
Swirly Bird (item 141749)
Beautiful You (item 143004 W/143637 C)

I seem to have used a few of these sets quite a lot!

If you’d like to attend an Onstage event, joining now would allow you to sign up for the event in November. Of course you could join a little later, but joining in March gets extra benefits. The normal benefits are:

• 20% discount on all your orders with the potential to push that 25%
• Volume rebates, team commissions, performance bonuses
• VIP access to new product releases at least a month early
• Free products to earn during various promotions
• Qualify for product rewards, incentive trips and more
• Receive the exclusive Stampin’ Success magazine quarterly
• Eligible to attend Stampin’ Up! events twice per year

The starter kit is an amazing deal – it’s fully customizable, so for just $99 you get $125 of quality product of your choice, shipped free, saving you $38.50 on product and shipping. If you join by March 31st, you add two stamp sets completely free, a value of up to $104. If you’re ready to jump in, grab your wish list and click here. Or if you have questions, go to the Join My Team tab for more details. If you still have questions, contact me.

Finally, Sale-a-bration is in the final month and will end on March 31st. Products are on an “as supplies last” basis so if there’s something you really want, dive in early. A good way to get free products is to buy a Paper Pumpkin prepaid. A 3 month prepaid Paper Pumpkin is currently on sale ($55 instead of $59), so not only do you get almost a 7% discount, you get to select a Sale-a-bration freebie. What more could you ask for?! Just order as normal at my online store – you can put the code 137859 in the search bar and it will take you right there. Even better is the 12 month prepaid where you save $2 per month (137861), but the best part is that you get FOUR Sale-a-bration items for that and $21.50 in Stampin’ Rewards! It’s $215 for a whole year of the red box (I ordered it myself) and if you add a few things and get to $250, not only do you get a fifth freebie, but there’s an extra $25 on top of the usual $25 of Stampin’ Rewards, so in total, that’s FIVE free Sale-a-bration products and $50 in Stampin’ Rewards.

In case you don’t know what Paper Pumpkin is about, here are the details:

• Each month you receive a unique, surprise kit with a project. It’s colour-coordinated and everything is pre-cut
• Each kit includes stamps, ink, paper, accessories and instructions.
• Each kit gives you about 30 minutes of fun
• Your Paper Pumpkin ships around the 15th of the month.
• You need to sign up for a kit by the 10th of the month to get that month’s kit. If you sign up on the 11th of the month, your first kit will come the next month.
• A Paper Pumpkin subscription is just $19.95 per month (and shipping is included!) There’s no commitment, you can cancel or put your subscription on hold at any time. You can also prepay 1, 3, 6 or 12 months at a time (great gift idea) and save money with the latter 2 options.
• Once you’re a Paper Pumpkin subscriber, you can buy previous kits as supplies last. Sometimes complete kits are available, at other times, it’s just the consumables so that you can make more.

Please use the Stampin’ Rewards code to get a selection of ribbon and sequins (6 yards in all) when your order is $30 or more; the current Stampin’ Rewards code is 34ANVEHC (if your order is over $150, don’t use the code, you get the rewards, but you still get the free gift). Click here to go to my online shop or here to join my team. To sign up for Paper Pumpkin, click here. For more details on my Customer Loyalty Programme, click here.

And don’t forget that during Sale-a-bration, for every $50 you spend (before taxes and shipping) you get to select a FREE product from the Sale-a-bration catalogue. Don’t have paper copies of the catalogs? Drop me an email and I’ll put one in the mail.

See you tomorrow,
