Year-End Closeout Has Discounts

Dec 5, 2019 | Shop, Stampin Up, Year End | 0 comments

The Year-End Closeout has discounts on select items (see images below and link to them in my online store HERE) AND hones in on three categories of holiday products going forward. This is meant to assist you in your final shopping out of the holiday catalog.

Please refer to THIS LIST to see what is what:

  • Carryover items available continually through June 2 – on the list I shared it is the white lines or not-highlighted lines.
  • Items that will not be available after January 2 but will reappear in the 2020 holiday catalog (this is a new option and test for the future) – on the list I shared it is the yellow or highlighted items.
  • Items that will not be available after January 2 that will be considered retired (everything NOT on this list).

As a catalog winds down, items DO sell out as they are “while supplies last.”

Questions always welcome! [email protected] or text me at 916.915.3840 (if you text, please include your name).

 
 
 

Beautiful Magnolia Image

Nov 29, 2019 | occasion, Shop, Stampin Up, Sympathy, Thankful, thinking of you, Tutorial | 0 comments

You can create a beautiful magnolia image on a card super fast.  I received a similar card last month from a member of my Demonstrator team. My jaw dropped as it was SO simple yet so elegant and perfect just as it was. I had to make some for myself as birthday thank you notes and I sent them out.

I chose a light color so I could write on the inside. Any light color works (the card I received from my downline was Balmy Blue) OR choose a darker color and use a Whisper White or Very Vanilla cardstock piece to write on and adhere inside (4″ x 5-1/4″).  Wouldn’t the Seasonal Wreath 3D embossing folder look great as a holiday note card or thank you? (pg. 199 of our annual catalog or see it HERE).  If you make groups of these, they are wonderful gifts if you insert them into our Acetate Card Boxes (noted below).

Supplies:
Stamp set: Good Morning Magnolia (149298)
Ink: Soft Sea Form Classic Stampin’ Pad (147102)
Paper: Soft Sea Foam Cardstock (149688)
Miscellaneous: Magnolia 3D Embossing Folder (149579), 3D Embossing Folder Plate (149658), Whisper White Medium Envelopes (107301), Acetate Card Boxes [not shown] (144628), Bone Folder (102300), Die-cutting machine

Measurements:
Soft Sea Foam card base: 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, score at 4-1/4″ then fold crease with Bone Folder

Instructions:

  1. Run Soft Sea Foam cardstock and Magnolia 3D embossing folder (using the 3D Embossing Folder Plate) through your die-cutting machine.
  2. Fold card.
  3. Using Soft Sea Foam ink, stamp corner of the front of Whisper White Medium Envelope.
  4. For gift giving: make sets and insert into Acetate Card Boxes (each holds up to 5 sets of cards with envelopes). See them HERE. Note that the wording is incorrect on that one item; the box holds USA standard A2 cards and envelopes. It measures 4-7/16″ x 5-13/16″ x 5/8″.

 

Remember, you do not have to invent the wheel to be creative, just copy this project! Did you make it with your own hands? Then you have created!

Special Birthday Event

Oct 23, 2019 | Birthday, Shop, Stampin Up | 2 comments

TODAY ONLY – 24-hour FLASH SALE – For a SPECIAL BIRTHDAY EVENT!

This is RARE. Stampin’ Up! does this, maybe, once per year.

 

This aspect/option is HUGE: if you buy a Starter Kit this Wednesday, YES, these sale stamp sets MAY be added. Let’s say you fill your $125 kit on this day with only stamps on sale, it would then be as if you were putting $147 in that cart but you only pay $99. That’d be $48 in FREE product AND it ships free saving you another $14.70 if you were placing this as an order instead.

For $99 you are always getting more than $99 but, for this one day, the value  jumps up if you fill your kit strategically!

Do you have $99 you could order right now? Then do it Wednesday and get up to what would ordinarily be $147 for that $99 instead. You can choose ANYTHING you want. You don’t have to choose the flash sale stamp sets. Use the pink button at the bottom of this email on Wednesday and save a bunch of $!

Flash Sale suggestions:

  1. Shop for yourself
  2. Shop for family as holiday gifts
  3. Shop for your favorite crafter whoever they are
  4. Shop via a Starter Kit as mentioned above

Please refer to my frequently asked questions about joining HERE. Note that you don’t have to “demonstrate” anything or have parties. You can be your only customer and just do this for the discount. Most Demonstrators are in that category and it’s totally welcomed!

Link to this flyer HERE that lists all 56 stamp sets that will be on sale for 24 hours during this special birthday event.

Clearance Rack Specials

Oct 15, 2019 | Clearance Rack, Shop, Stampin Up | 0 comments

You can visit the Clearance Rack in my online store and see the most recent Clearance Rack specials.  Although they are updated every few weeks, as the products sell out, they will no longer be available.  Once they are gone, they are gone for good.  Take advantage of this opportunity because the products don’t last long once they are released.  Stampin’ Up always surprises us with some special products that we would never expect to pop up on the Clearance Rack.  

Here are some of the latest and greatest things that are on the Clearance Rack.

The Silver Gable Boxes are great for upcoming holiday packaging.  Decorate them any way you like for a one-of-a-kind package for that special gift.  Pick it up today here in my online store. 

 The Tranquil Tide ribbon is perfect to accent any holiday project.  You will love the way it enhances cards and wraps around gifts.  Click here to purchase the ribbon today. 

 

Embossing Paste is great for creating some 3D effects and/or a nice texture to cards and projects.  Get some here from my online site.

These products in the Clearance Rack are different from what was there just a month ago.  They really change up faster than you can blink sometimes.  So take a minute to view the Clearance Rack specials and see for yourself all that it has to offer.  The products will still continue to change every few months, so enjoy it while you can.

Happy Shopping!
