Sale Beginning Today

This new catalog AND the biggest sale of the year (Sale-A-Bration) begin TODAY!

There are three parts to Sale-A-Bration and all three include something free:

1. Join the discount club—this is the biggest offer, in my opinion, due to the value of the freebies then the subsequent discount you get at least through July 31 (a minimum of up to 6+ months). The Starter Kit is:

  • $99 + tax
  • you select anything you want for up to $125.00 ($26 in free product)
  • ships free (saving you $12.50)
  • AND during this promotion only, you also may add ANY stamp set of any value that we sell in any catalog (highest priced set is $45)
  • AND a free Mini Paper Cutter exclusive to this offer AND a 48 piece sampler of our mini catalog Designer Series Paper (see pages 18-19 of the SAB brochure). The last two items were available for Demonstrators only to purchase just in December and I paid $26.50 for the pair.
  • AND, lastly, every new Starter Kit gets a $22 Paper Pumpkin kit free.

Adding it all up, you pay $99 + tax for a custom package worth up to about $231!

If you will buy $99 in the next 6 months, THIS is the best bang for your buck hand’s down!

Super key in all this is to emphasize that there are NO strings, NO risk, and NO parties. You may join just to get the discount as the vast majority do. When you buy the Starter Kit in January, for example, you have all the way through July 31 (6+ months) to check it out.  The value and timing just doesn’t get any better. Please refer to my Frequently Asked Questions in the Pages section of my blog at www.StellarStamps.com.

2. Shop—The brochure has items you may choose FREE with a $50 purchase of anything in my online store and those you might select with a $100 purchase. If your order reaches $150, you also get the usual Stampin’ Rewards freebie dollars based on your order total (see page 73 of the new mini catalog).

3. $300+ order-In addition to everything in #2 above, when your order reaches $300, you automatically receive the Little Ladybug stamp set (page 17 of the SAB brochure). It’s adorable and it’s free, free, free!

Year-End Closeout Has Discounts

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! StellarStamps@gmail.com or text me at 916.915.3840 (if you text, please include your name).

 
 
 

Beautiful Magnolia Image

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.

All images © 1990-2019 Stampin’ Up!®

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″.

Special Birthday Event

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.
