Last few days

I hope everyone has had a great Christmas and that you'll have fun plans for New Year's Eve!

 Did you get anything crafty for the holidays? Let me know in the comments! I love hearing about new toys! :)

If not, there's still time to treat yourself to items from the Holiday Catalog before they are unavailable starting January 3. A handful of items will be available for a little while, but most of the festive seasonal items are exclusive to this catalog.

Also, the Single Stamps are available only until January 2nd, so if you've been debating getting any affordable individual images or sentiments, do so in the next couple days. I hope they come out with another round of images and sentiments, but no news yet. See the Single Stamps here!

I'm off to a wedding in Chicago. I just finished making the card (pics to come later!) so now it's time to get ready. Cardmaking > getting dressed...priorities! ;)

Holiday Gift Season is Upon Us!

The holidays are coming up fast, including my birthday next week during the amazing SU sale from 11/19 through 11/28 including 2 days of door busters!  Happy birthday to me!  :)

Do you struggle with not knowing what to tell people to get you for birthdays, Christmas, and other gift-giving occasions?  Or do you have crafty friends but aren't sure exactly what they might need or want?

I can help make your gift-giving and receiving a little easier! 

Giving creative shopping sprees
  • If you want to let a crafty person do some fun creative shopping or want someone to give you a SU! shopping spree in time for SAB and the new Spring catalog, I can offer gift certificates!  
  • You can pay via cash, check, or Paypal, and I will create a unique gift certificate (in a festive card if preferred!) for the lucky recipient.  
  • Then the person shops to their heart is content through my SU website or email, and everything up to that amount is covered already!

Want presents you'll love?  
  • Send me your Stampin' Up wishlist (Click "Contact me" on my website!) - item name and numbers
  • Give this handy hint to the generous gift-giver so they know how to find me!    
  • I'll work with them to order items from your wishlist within their budget
  • I can assist with gift wrap and drop off in the Madison area or have delivered it to them so you stay surprised!  
  • Let Santa spoil you for once! 
Let me know if you have questions or want to give or receive a creative gift this year!  What's on your wishlist? 

Who's ready for a SALE?!

Me me me!

Stampin' Up just had a one day sale on stamps.  Maybe you missed out and were hoping for a Black Friday deal?  Never fear, there's plenty of deals starting MONDAY and going until the 28th!

20% - 50% off deals too!







As they say on TV, "But wait, there's more!"

Beyond just those two days of deals, Stampin' Up has not one, not two, but three, yes three pages of products on sale for 20% to 50% off!   Go here!   
  





It includes select stamps, punches, ribbon, designer paper, the tabletop paper trimmer, embellishments like rhinestones and brads, and even the MyDigitalStudio2 software is 50% off (design digital scrapbooks, cards, blog layouts, and holiday cards!).  Holy buckets! 

This is a great time to order any last minute supplies for holiday projects or thank you cards, but let me warn you, the Sale-a-Bration items and Spring catalog are pretty amazing, so you may want to wait to buy basics like cardstock or non-essential non-sale items until January.  ;)

Best deal yet to sign up
Interested in taking advantage of this amazing deal even more?  You can combine this sale with the free ink pad offer if you want to sign up as a demo.  Pay $99 to get any $125 worth of product free, including more bang for your buck with sale items (Hello, Big Shot!), get a free collection of new ink pads, and all the business tools you need if you want to do it more than a hobby!  

Wanna order?
If you're local and want me to order for you, please send me your order by 6:00 pm on Monday, or you can easily order through my secure SU website to have it shipped directly to you.  Just select me as your demonstrator and you get the sale price rather than paying the online price.  Click either Contact Me or Shop Now from my website

Ink-redible deals to get SU ink pads!

Have you tried the new Stampin' Up ink pads yet?  I have the Regals, Subtles, and Bolds color collections, and LOVE them.  You can earn a color collection for free for a limited time!



Dates: November  1 - December 16, 2012

Promotion #1 Details: Hostesses who hold a minimum $450 party during the promotion period will receive a FREE collection of Classic Stampin Pads-- choose from Brights, Subtles, or Regals--a $49.95 value!  Plus, the free ink is in addition to the regular hostess benefits-- on a $450+ party, you would earn $65 in Hostess Rewards plus a half-price item!  INK-redible!  This would work on a single $450 order if you have a ton of shopping to do, or you can collect orders from friends without needing to host a party if you prefer.

Promotion #2 Details:   Join as a Stampin' Up demonstrator during this timeframe, and you'll get a color collection free too!  You don't even have to commit to anything - pick out $125 worth of products (anything you want!) for only $99, get a free set of ink pads, and then any future orders are at a discount (including a special discount for your first ordered entered as a workshop!).  With the new Spring catalog coming out soon, that discount will come in handy!   :) 

Of course, if you want to turn it into a business, I can help with that too after I've been learning the ropes over the last few months.  Come to one of my monthly demonstrator group meetings held by my upline to check it out if you're curious.

One of the perks of being a SU demonstrator is having access to extra discussion boards, project inspiration, and a bi-monthly magazine.  Here's a link to a small sample of the articles of the magazine you'd get to help you with your hobby or business!
