I’M GOING TO FIJI!!!  THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!

Stampin' Up! Product Giveaway

As a THANK YOU for all your support for me as a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, I am giving away this basket of Stampin’ Up! products (valued at over $200) to one person who leaves feedback on this post (before May 31st)!

Me in FijiI am making this gift available to all my followers (not just those who buy from me) because I want you to know that the very kind feedback that I receive from my work, truly warms my heart and keeps me inspired to keep sharing.   Pathetic, I know, but my family doesn’t always find me as terrific as you guys seem to, LOL, and I ‘take the love’ where I can get it!!!

On May 10th, I officially earned Stampin’ Up!’s Grand Vacation to Fiji!!! This is such an awesome incentive to work towards while doing what I love doing the most ‘sharing what I love’ which is papercrafting with Stampin’ Up! products and meeting new people.

Stampin’ Up! not only came up with two incentive trips this year–one much easier than the other to earn–but the Grand Vacation to Fiji was something I couldn’t pass up, especially when they made it EASIER to earn than ever before!   And you can join Stampin’ Up! for only $99–seriously, can you beat that?

This year I celebrate 16 years with Stampin’ Up! (in August) and I truly do celebrate the wonderful people I have met through Stampin’ Up! and I count many of them as the people I am closest to today!  Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Occasions Mini Last Day to order!

By Amy · Comments (0)
Monday, April 30th, 2012

Time flies when you are having fun!  Say goodbye to these AMAZING accessories and three product ‘suites’ in Stampin’ Up!’s 2012 Occasions Mini Catalog.  The suites feature coordinating papers, sets and accessories:

Be sure to order by today… use the  downloadable PDF or you can view it online in the interactive flash format for a limited time.  Stampin’ Up! hasn’t published the ‘carryover’ accessories and we won’t know what sets will be carried into the new catalog in June.

Have you forgotten already?  Look at some of the fun I’ve had with them:

Remember, my online purchase gift for April & May is 20% of your purchases back in free product in the new catalog–that you will receive… CLICK HERE for more information and to see the current ‘Class to Go’ that you will also receive.

HEADS UP FOR MAY 1ST!  Excellent news!  Starting tomorrow, you can join Stampin’ Up! for only $99 and it is really, completely, totally customizable… no ‘set’ price limits, etc.  That’s right… the Stampin’ Up! starter kit will be $99 and the online sign up process will be simplified.

I will post all about it tomorrow… are you excited?  I am!

Pop Up ‘Look Here’ blast from the past!

By Amy · Comments (1)
Saturday, April 28th, 2012

I have been sitting here AMAZED at how quickly the retiring Sizzix dies are going on the Discontinuing List!

And then I looked at the Clearance Rack and saw that the Stampin’ Up! Sizzix ‘Look Here’ die was still available!  I feel very bad–I just told someone who emailed me a few weeks ago, that we didn’t carry it anymore! Now I have guilt!!!

So the moral to this story is that while you are checking out the Discontinued lists… be sure to check out Stampin’ Up!’s clearance rack for things you miss but SU still has inventory in. There are some awesome deals there!  And don’t forget my online order special through the end of May… earn 20% back on your online purchases towards an order in the new catalog… read all about it here!

How did I make this card? CLICK HERE for the video on how to work with the ‘Look Here’ die by Sizzix, made exclusively for Stampin’ Up!  and by the way, the snowflake punch used in this card is retiring with this catalog… but good news, the stamp set, Delightful Decorations,  and coordinating punch is staying!
