January 24, 2013: Catching Up

Pin It Now! I'm so behind on sharing all the amazing offerings Stampin' Up! has going on right now!  Stick with me, as this is a long post. :)

First and foremost, it's my favorite time of the year - Sale-a-Bration!  That's right - it's that time of year again!  Receive a FREE product (and most are exclusive to this promotion!) for every $50 you spend prior to tax and shipping.

 The Sale-a-Bration brochure is quite long this year - all those fabulous new products! - so make sure you scroll to the right to see the whole thing.  I especially want to make sure you notice the Petite Curly Label Punch, one of the free offerings.  I think I'm in love. :) 

And, Sale-a-Bration wouldn't be complete without a recruiting promotion!  For Stampin' Up!'s 25 year anniversary, you will receive an extra 25% of product...for free!  That makes an already amazing deal an even better one!  That's $159 in product, plus the business starter kit, for only $99...and free shipping!  There is never an obligation to stay a demo, so you really can just sign up for the great value on the starter kit!

And...as long as we are on the subject of Stampin' Up!'s 25 year anniversary, I can't believe what they have decided to do to celebrate.  Each month this year Stampin' Up! will be taking a collection of favorite images from the last 25 years and releasing them with one brand new image as a Clear Mount Stamp Set, all for $14.95!  January is Best of Birthdays, and it's a doozy!

In case you haven't been around for the last 25 years (like me!) I'm told that the new image is the lovely oval one, which coordinates with the Wide Oval Punch.  How fabby is that?  And we all need more birthday stamps, right?

Every year it seems that Stampin' Up! comes out with something new and innovative that just blows my socks off.  This year it is definitely Paper Pumpkin.  Do you ever feel like you don't have a card to give, and no ideas to make one?  Or you see fab cards online, but don't have enough toys to recreate them?  Like Cinderella, a pumpkin carriage will arrive every month at your door and sweep you to the creativity ball!

 There is a special website at www.mypaperpumpkin.com with all the deets, but here is a crash course from the website:

Sweep away the mundane-your creativity carriage awaits!

I'm Paper Pumpkin . . .
I come to your door each month (a fully decked-out creativity carriage). I'll help you to escape your life with some paper fun.
I come in a sweet box, but you'll really love what you find on the inside:
All the stamps, ink, paper, and accessories to create pinable projects. Create stuff like cards, journals, décor, and more!
Paper Pumpkin by Stampin' Up! is a new monthly kit program that anyone (even you) can enjoy!

Get Started

It's so easy to get started. Simply sign up for the program starting Monday, January 14 by visiting www.mypaperpumpkin.com and click Get it. Every month a new, surprise project kit arrives at your doorstep. Just think of the anticipation of creating a fun project to pin, showoff, and share with your friends and family-every month!
Of course, you'll want to know more. So here's the nitty gritty:

• Each month we send you a unique, surprise kit with a project-cards, journals, décor, and more! (We've even color-coordinated, measured, and cut everything for you!)
• Each kit includes stamps, ink, paper, and accessories-everything but adhesive.
• Each kit gives you and your customer a 30-minute creativity escape.
• We will ship your Paper Pumpkin on or around the 15th of the month.  
• You need to sign up for a kit by the 10th of the month to get that month's kit. If you sign up on the 11th of the month, your first kit will come the next month. (Let's say you sign up on May 10th, we'll send your kit around May 15th. If you sign up on May 11th, we'll send your first kit around June 15th.)
• A Paper Pumpkin membership is $19.95 per month (and shipping is included!) The commissionable amount is $14.95 for each Paper Pumpkin.  
• There's no commitment, you can cancel your monthly Paper Pumpkin at anytime. You can also skip a month if you want.
• Starting in early March, we'll offer a Try-It kit if you'd like to try Paper Pumpkin for one month.

Here's How You Order

Sign up for your monthly Paper Pumpkin starting Monday, January 14 by visiting www.mypaperpumpkin.com and click Get it.
Starting in early March, you can try Paper Pumpkin for one month by visiting our online store.

A Free Gift in Your Very First Kit

The Welcome Kit is the very first Paper Pumpkin you will receive in your first month of membership. The Welcome Kit includes a free gift-a clear acrylic block!

 Make sure you check out www.mypaperpumpkin.com...I'm so excited about this, and I know you will be, too!

Now, we aren't the only ones that get stumped for card ideas.  How many times have you seen that unfortunate husband or boyfriend in the grocery store, looking through the cards with slightly dazed expression?  Let's face it - commercial cards are sappy.  And no guy likes sappy.  Bail him out with Dude, You're Welcome!

And the video is hysterical.



Still with me?  Just a few more things!

Following the crazy success of the Single Clear Mount Stamp Program, Stampin' Up! has released TEN new, never before seen images - and at crazy good prices!  Check them out HERE.

My fave image?

Towels for Two.  Adore, right? :)

And, of course, the Clearance Rack Blitz is still going on...

Okay, I'll let you get on with your day.  I just wanted to add my FAVORITE Stampin' Up! video EVER.  Y'all know I'm a HUGE Trekkie, right?  Oh, yeah...



Thought I was going to DIE laughing.  Love!
