I know that I am. I’ve been trying not to neglect my older stamp sets but I’m having a hard time doing that! Just in case you’ve missed all the excitement, here’s what’s happening. The new Occasions catalogue, filled with spring and Valentines themed inspiration went live on January 6th.
As a demonstrator I was able to order from this a month ago and I’ve been having a great time playing with all my new goodies. The best part is SAB aka Sale-A-Bration which is an amazing promotion that apparently Stampin’ Up! runs each year. This is my first time experiencing it and it’s awesome – it runs from January 6th to March 31st!
For every $50 that you spend (before tax and shipping – and believe me it’s easy to spend $50 in the new catalogue!) you get to select a free item from the Sale-a-Bration catalogue. Also the hostess rewards (or your own rewards if you just put in a large order) are increased by $25 once you hit $250 in addition to all the SAB freebies. This really is THE time to buy! And if you sign up as a demonstrator (which gives you a 20% discount) you get to either pick a kit from the Occasions catalogue or 2 sale-a-bration items. Definitely THE time to sign up. The starter kit, which you customise completely, is only $99 with free shipping for $125 worth of stuff plus the kit or the 2 SAB items. You can’t ask for a better deal – and there’s no requirement to buy another thing. Ever. Although, you will. I guarantee it! But, as long as you stay active ($300 per quarter in sales which includes sales to yourself) then you continue to get the 20% discount – and as an extra thank you for signing up, your first order after sign up (as long as it’s within 45 days) gets a discount of 30%. What are you waiting for? Please email me if you have any questions otherwise just go to the site, hit the Join button and select me as your demonstrator (Liz Bailey, Randolph, NJ) and sit back and plan what you’ll stamp with first.
I’ve been trying to decide which are my top five favourite new items. I think they are:
Lotus Blossom – you’ve possibly seen this everywhere already and it’s a free set!
Painted Petals
Sheltering Tree
Hello You Thinlits (which comes bundled with Crazy about You – definitely a useful 15% to save there)
Perpetual Birthday calendar with its stamp set (this isn’t a bundle, but they go together and I was out of spots on my list!)
There’s also a lot of gorgeous new DSP both for sale in the Occasions catalogue and free in the SAB one. And four new blendability colours. And I’ve got my eye on the Mini Treat bag thinlit dies – there are so many extra pieces in that set which could also be used on cards…
If you don’t have the catalogues, just click on the images of the catalogues in the left hand panel to view them right now. This assumes that you’ve got some spare time – don’t open them if you need to leave the house within the next 20 minutes!
