May Happenings

Hello friends,

Sometimes my days get away from me.  As many of you know, I am my husband's care giver and things have been pretty hectic lately.  When that happens, I can't get to my blog to post things, nor can I get to my craft room to create.  I'm hoping to fix that right now. 😊

Let's start with some news from the home office.  May is an exciting month; we have a new annual catalog that went live on May 6th.  We also have some new items added to the Online Exclusives store, and some great new kits too! And let's not forget that May is "join my team" month too!  Read on to learn all about these wonderful opportunities. 

I've added our new Annual catalog to the right sidebar. To view it, just click on the catalog image. There's so much to see. We have added quite a lot of scrapbooking items, and we now have two tone card stock. The color on one side is a lighter hue of the other.  These were very popular with Close to my Heart products. As you know, Stampin' Up! acquired several of the CTMH products when they closed. In addition, many of the CTMH Makers have joined our Stampin' Up! family and we couldn't be happier.  I'm sure you'll find just what you're looking for.

Two New Kits!  Our Share a Smile Kit and our Beautiful Blues Kit will have you smiling...BIG! Each kit has all the supplies you need to make gorgeous cards for any occasion.  Read on to learn more!

Stampin' Rewards!

Did you know that now you earn Rewards for every order you place at my online store?  If your order equals $ 20 before tax & shipping, you earn 10% rewards that you can use on a future order.  And, the rewards will add up and they are good for one year!  In the past, your order had to be $ 150 before tax & shipping, but all that is changed!  And I will still send you a gift for placing an order too!  

In addition, I started a Referral Progam in January.  When I send out emails, if you forward my emails to a friend, and they order from me, you both will receive a gift.  There are limits to this, so be sure to check it all out on my Referral Progam tab above.  Check out my Cactus Rewards program too! If you order from me, there are THREE ways to earn! Add that to the Stampin' Rewards you get for ordering, and how can you lose?  

Thanks for stopping by today.  As always, I welcome your suggestions and any questions.  I will be  back soon with some new products I'm going to play with this weekend.  Have an awesome day!
