Today is the first day of theBlack Friday Extravaganza. Stampin’ Up!’s annual Holiday Extravaganza. Because Stampin’ Up! likes to shake things up, this year will be a little different. Many of the products from the 2018-2019 annual catalog will be on sale within six days. You will have the opportunity to purchase different products on different days. There will be different products to choose from every 48 hours. Almost everyday category will be on sale. Take a look below to see how each day will look and get ready to save. The first products are on sale today.
The Online Extravaganza this year is six days long with three sales going on every 48 hours. It may sound a bit confusing, but check out the breakdown below.
During the six days, we’ll offer three, 48-hour sales featuring a selection of products from the 2018-2019 annual catalog and all will be at 10% off! Also, each 48-hour sale will feature two product categories (e.g., paper, stamps, ink, etc.). So, when one sale ends, the next sale begins; this cycle will continue until Online Extravaganza is over. By the end, nearly every item from the annual catalog will have been on sale!
Please be aware, once the items sell out, they are no longer available at the sale price so get what you want now.
Don’t you just love the ice skating snowman? The card was created with the Spirited Snowmen stamp set and the Blizzard Thinlits Dies. They make a great combination. Having the window in the card adds to the focal point of the card.

Around this time, for years, Stampin’ Up! has its biggest annual promotion and it is called Sale-A-Bration or SAB. SAB has three parts which, to my ears, sounds like “something for everyone.” It ends March 31. Here are the three parts with a brief description:
For every $50 in product you put in your shopping cart, you may choose 1 absolutely FREE item out of a specially designed set of products and, just announced, a few regular products out of a current catalog. Some items are earned free with a minimum $100 order. You choose. All you have to do to get something free is make sure you have $50 of product in your cart.
If you go for the gusto and fill your cart with $250 or more, then you get a bonus $25 in more free product that is 100% your choice. That is a bonus to the host rewards you’d already qualify for. For example, a $250 order earns 10% more free ($25) so when you add the bonus that ends March 31, that’d be $50!
Instead of being a shopper, the 3rd option is to be a happier shopper by buying the Starter Kit and the 20% product discount that begins after you buy it. The Starter Kit is $99+ tax. It ships FREE. You put $125 (not a penny more) of absolutely anything you want in your cart PLUS, through March 31, you add ANY 2 stamp sets of your choice. Those sets could be to about a $101 value. No risk. No parties. No strings.
