Sale-a-bration Continues & More !

Hello friends,

Well, the first month of our Sale-a-bration promotion has passed, and we now have 22 days left before it's gone.  Just in time, we have released several MORE products that you can get free with a qualifying order!  That's not all!  We've added some new kits, new online exclusives and, the Clearance Rack has been updated with items that will be (or already are) retired.  Here's the scoop on everything happening at Stampin' Up!

MORE Sale-a-bration freebies!

Just take a peek at all these additional cool items that you can get free with a qualifying order! These items will pop up on the Sale-a-bration section after you've entered your ordered items, so all you need to do is click on whatever you want to choose, and they will be added to your shopping cart. 

Two NEW Kits!

Take a peek at the two new kits we've added!  So Much to Celebrate and Heirloom Arrangements.  

So Much to Celebrate Kit (#165011)

This kit is perfect for a graduation, wedding, or welcoming a new baby. Nothing says "I'm thinking of you" quite like a handmade card, made by you with lots of love!

There's so much to love about this kit!

Clearance Rack Refresh

Items in the Last Chance list (including Clearance Rack items) continue to stay in the online store until they are gone, but the company will continue to evaluate and reduce prices on select items as needed. Here’s a look at the discounted products added to the Clearance Rack this week:

These are just some of the items that have been added, but it’s a good idea to check out the full list of products in the Last Chance offering to see if your favorites have discounts. To see all of the items in my online store just click on the SHOP button to the right.

If you are placing an order, be sure to use my host code when prompted at checkout: XRCPHUFH  

However, if your order is $ 150 before tax & shipping, do NOT use my host code because you'll get 10% in free product for yourself.

As a reminder, all orders of any amount will receive a free gift. In addition, my referral program started in January so all you need to do to take advantage of that is send this email to a friend and let me know who you sent it to. If that person orders, you will both receive a free gift from me. 

A lot is happening in the Stampin' Up! world, and I'm very happy to show you what's next. Soon, we will have another new annual catalog to share but until then, the Clearance Rack, Last Chance Items, Online Exclusives and FREE Sale-a-bration offerings, along with a special "join my team" offer, there are plenty of things to be excited about.  During Sale-a-bration (ends Feb 28) we are offering an additional 

$ 30 in free product, OR the option to choose TWO Classic Marker sets and a stamp set, which brings your joining offer to over $ 200 in free product instead of the usual $ 125. Call or email me today for details! Or you can click on the JOIN link to the right.

Thank you for supporting me in my small business.  I really appreciate you choosing me as your Stampin' Up demonstrator.  Please contact me with any questions or concerns and enjoy this beautiful day!

 

New Mini Catalog, Sale-a-bration & Scrapbooking Brochure

 The time has arrived!  I'm so excited to share our new Spring Mini, Sale-a-bration promotion as well as our new Scrapbooking brochure!  The scrapbooking brochure is a separate publication now, but our future annual catalog will have all our scrapbooking supplies included. How fun is that?

Be sure to check out all the catalogs on my blog here.  You can easily browse and shop all at the same time. If you are thinking of placing an order, please use my host code (found on the right side panel in red) and insert the host code at checkout.  All January orders will receive a FREE gift from me in February.  

Also, this year I am starting a new Referral Program too! I have several bonuses for those that choose me as their demonstrator, so be sure to read all about them by clicking the appropriate tabs located at the top of this page.

Sale-a-bration is our biggest sale of the year and it starts now and ends on February 28.  With every qualified order (either $ 60 or $ 120 before tax & shipping), you can choose a FREE item from the Sale-a-bration brochure. There's a lot of fun items to choose from too, so be sure to check it out. 

During Sale-a-bration, you can also join my Desert Inkspirations team too!  You'll get a great addtional bonus for signing up. Don't worry, you do not have to hold classes at all; you can join as a hobby demonstrator and just get all the perks and up to a 25% discount on products you love.  Here's how it works:

• OPTION 1 - Get $125 of product for $99 PLUS your choice of TWO marker sets from Stampin' Up!'s Stampin' Write Marker Assortments (Brights, Neutrals, Regals, Subtles) AND an exclusive stamp set design to work with them, OR

WOW! Two great choices to join my team and get a discount on every order you place. As a demonstrator, you'll get invited to online events, see new catalogs and get to pre-order before anyone else, and be a part of a fun group of ladies who just enjoy crafting! I live in Missouri now, and most of my team is in Arizona. But that doesn't matter because stamp camps are held in person there, and we attend here virtually.  We always have so much fun. I would love to have you be a part of our fun group!  If you think you might be interested, or just have questions, feel free to contact me and I am happy to set aside a time to chat.  I'd love to meet you!

In addition to the new Mini and Scrapbooking brochure, be sure to check out our new Online Exclusives.  These items will never be in any catalog so that we can offer them to you for a longer period, or until they run out. When you click on my Shop button, you'll see the category there.

There's a lot of new and exciting things happening at Stampin' Up!  I can't wait to show you more.  Until then, enjoy your day and thanks for stopping by today.  💖

Happy New Year!

 Hello friends!  This is my first post for 2025.  I sure hope you all had a fantastic Christmas with loving family and friends.  I also wish for each and every one of you a very healthy and happy New Year. It seems to some, that 2024 was filled with a lot of uncertainty, and questions arose for a multitude of things. Personally, for me, 2024 was okay until October when my husband Dale had two strokes.  He's been through so much and he just recently came home two days after Christmas.  Having him home is a blessing for sure, but he still has a very long way to go.  He has in home health care now, and it's just the beginning of many more questions and concerns, with more things happening that have nothing to do with his strokes.  Our lives have changed; I will now be taking on the role of full-time care giver.  Needless to say, I will do my very best but I'm learning that one cannot take this role too lightly.  You change the time you get to shower, do laundry, talk to friends and as you can tell, I have not posted here since December 14th. It's going to be online shopping for items needed like groceries, with those being delivered since I can't leave the house much.  I thank God every day for my neighbors; I've had to call them once already and I'm learning it's ok to ask for help.  That's hard for me but I'm learning. I also thank God for my daughter and grand daughter, who took time out of their lives to come stay with us when he first came home. I don't know what I would have done had I been alone those first few days. God's blessings and grace are amazing! I am looking forward to Dale's healing and therapy progress and mysteries answered so he can enjoy his life. Here's to a safe, healthy New Year for everyone!

I also want to take this opportunity to let you know that this year, I am starting a Referral Program. I have written emails to all my customers explaining the program and I have created a tab above with all the details. With 2024 having so many costs go up for many items (most items I would imagine), I felt the need to start this program to help keep my Stampin' Up! business fruitful for both me and my customers (new and current).  Everyone wins with this program, so I hope you decide to try it.

Starting January 7, we will also have a new Mini catalog and our best promotion of the year!  Our Sale-a-bration promotion begins with the new catalog.  The annual catalog is still current as well, so any order from either the annual or the new mini, gets you a FREE item from the Sale-a-bration catalog with a qualifying order.  For an order of $ 60 (before tax and shippng), you get to choose a FREE item from the Sale-a-bration catalog.  If your order is $ 120, you get to choose TWO FREE items (or choose a more expensive free item).  I will have the new mini and Sale-a-bration catalogs here on my blog for you to see and shop from, once January 7 arrives.  If you would like a copy of the two new catalogs, please click the tab "Request catalogs" above and I'll get them to you right away.

Be sure to also check out the other tabs including Ordering Bonus and Rewards Program. These specials allow you to shop and earn free stamps and my bonuses.

Thank you for your support. I am honored and blessed to know you and I wish you the best in 2025.

Team Challenge Cards Part 2

Hello and happy day to you!  Today I am sharing my team challenge card from our December team meeting.  I have not yet received the rest of the cards to show you, so today I'll share mine:

Here's my card:

My inspiration came from Dawn at DOstamping with Dawn, Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.  Her card had a square instead of circles, but my challenge was to use circles, metallic and ribbon or twine.  I love how this card turned out. It's almost exactly like Dawn's except for the circles, but in stamping it's great that we can "case" (copy and share everything) when we see a design we love. 

I've listed the supplies below. Feel free to click on any items to add them to your shopping cart if you like.  My current Host Code is to the right in red, and I'm still giving away a few FREE GIFTS for any size order this month.  I'd love it if you would place an order to help me reach my goal.

Next month we will have a new Mini Catalog along with our yearly Sale-a-bration promotion.  You get to choose FREE items with qualifying orders.  More on that soon, but if you want to get yourself a catalog, be sure to click on the "request a catalog" tab at the top of my page.  When I can order them, I can order a set for you as well.  

Thank you for stopping by today.  I hope you have a fantastic weekend!

Team Challenge Cards

This is my second post for today.  As some of you may know, I've not been able to post on a regular basis due to my husband Dale's stroke.  The good news is that he might be home by Christmas and that makes me very happy.  It's just not the same in the house with him gone.  He's been through a lot, so I will apologize now in case I am still missing a few days here and there.

But today, I have some really nice team cards to share with you.  I had a virtual team meeting with my ladies in Arizona Saturday. I gave them all a team challenge. We had a tic tac toe board that included various items to use to make our project.  Here's 3 of the cards that were shared.

Dina used the stamp set Coffee with Friends. She chose to watercolor her images using Copper Clay, Garden Green, Pool Party, Early Espresso and Gray Granite inks.  The card base is Pretty Peacock with a layer of Fresh Fresia on Vanilla and watercolor paper. She finished it off with some of the pretty Faceted Gems Trio pack.  

This happy birthday card was made by Jocyne.  She used the dies from the Textured Florals bundle and her sentiment is cut using the Postage Punch.  The embossing folder is retired I believe. I like that her card is simple and quick yet packs a great message. 

Kathy made this thinking of you card and she used the Autumn Leaf and Peaceful Moments stamp sets.  The Leaf Fall embossing folder is used as the background layer and the Modern Oval punch shows off the sentiment perfectly.  Kathy used Pretty Peacock for her card base, with a layer of Basic White and Crumb Cake.  Inks used are Pretty Peacock, Pecan Pie and Crushed Curry.

Aren't these great cards?  I will have another post soon with the rest of the teams' cards and mine as well.  In the meantime, I'd love to see your comments on what you think of these.  

I've listed all the supplies used for these cards at the bottom of my post.  If you'd like to order anything, your order will ship FREE if your minimum order is $ 75.  The FREE SHIPPING promotion started today and runs through Wednesday, so now is a great time to take advantage of that.  And ALL orders in December will receive a FREE GIFT from me. To qualify you must use my host code in red on the right side bar.  Use this code at checkout to get your FREE GIFT.
