Why I Joined Stampin' Up!

There is many reasons as to why I became a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, here are my top 10:

1) By joining I got $125 worth of product for $99.00.

2) Exclusive emails on what is going to be happening soon (trips, new products and etc.)

3) Early ordering of new products before the public (time to play and create to showcase to the public.)

4) Getting the catalogs before the public (Annual, Holiday, Occasions and Sale-A-Bration.)

5) Earn 20-25% on each sale!

6) Learn creative tips and techniques.

7) Quarterly magazine and weekly emails filled with detailed project ideas, business tips, demonstrator spotlights, the latest Stampin' Up! news and more. 

8) Twice yearly onstage events April 7, 2018 & November (date to be announced)

Registration Dates: January 16–February 28, 2018 for April Onstage

Price: $120 USD/CAD or 12,500 flex points
Ft. Worth, TX, US 
Hartford, CT, US 
Las Vegas, NV, US

and if you missed going to onstage Stampin' Up! will post it online for you to watch. (I will do either a team gathering or we meet online and watch from FB and I showcase the new products)

9)Incentive Trips: 2018 is to Alaska and 2019 is to Greece! (160,000 flex points)

10)Stampin' Up! donates to many charities. In the Annual Catalog Stampin' Up! each year creates an exclusive stamp set for the Ronald McDonald House Charities ( all sales of the stamp set goes to the RMHC (last page of catalog)).

Okay I gotta have one! How do I get it?

With the launch of this tool, we’re trying something different: testing a new reservation system. It acts like a true preorder: you reserve your spot and we guarantee shipment as soon as the product arrives in our warehouse. Demonstrators and customers will place reservations and receive their product at the same time. This system will allow us to get the product to market as soon as possible while avoiding backorders and efficiently managing inventory.

You must create a customer profile-CLICK HERE TO DO THIS

(be sure my name is on the page, if not go to Demonstrator Finder and put in my name, 72 Short Street, Milford Center, OH 43045)

Here is how you reserve it:

Step 1:

Enter your credit card information.

Step 2:

Click reserve.

 

Step 3:

If you want to cancel, click cancel and your reservation will be removed from the system.

 

Step 4: 

A confirmation email will be sent to your inbox.
 

Note:

If the reservation window is closed, you will see the following message.

Second Stamparatus Reservation Window Opens December 5

The results are in! The first Stamparatus reservation window reached its maximum number of reservations in just 15 minutes, which provided us with some very important information: You LOVE this new stamping tool! We couldn’t be more thrilled; in fact, your response was so amazing that we’ve decided to make some important adjustments to the reservation process.

As was previously announced, the second reservation window will remain open from December 5–30; however, during this reservation period we will take as many orders as we receive (yay!) and not close the window until December 30. So whether the total number of reservations is 100 or 100,000, the window will stay open!

Please note the following changes:

• Beginning March 19, we will ship Stamparatuses in the order the reservations were received (first in, first out) and continue through the next few months and beyond as product arrives in our warehouse. Because shipment dates are based on manufacturing lead times, not all of the reservations made during the December 5–30 window will ship on March 19 (as was previously announced).
• In order to accommodate demand, limits have changed as follows: one reservation per customer and one per demonstrator.
• Because we are not limiting the maximum number of reservations for the second window, we will not offer a third window. This is the last chance for you and your customers to reserve a Stamparatus before it becomes available in the 2018-2019 annual catalog.

Please note what has not changed:

• If you reserved more than one stamping tool during the first reservation period, that number will not change; you will still receive the same number you reserved.
• If you reserved one or more stamping tool(s) during the first reservation period, you may still order during the second window.
• The reservation window will open at 2:00 PM (MT) on December 5.

Christmas in The Making Christmas Card

Since the Christmas tree truck is such a popular item this year here  and has a rustic feel to it. I thought  this would be an excellent card to make to send to friends and family. This  truck  is from the Stampin' Up! Stamp Set called " Country livin' " and it is in the Annual Catalog, but hurry you never know when Stampin' Up! will decide to retire this set. I hope you enjoy the video from StampingWithAmore.

Thinking about joining Stampin' Up!? Here is a little incentive to help you out. 

Pre-Order for the 2018 Occasions Catalog and Sale-A-Brations for Demonstrators & Paper Pumpkin Prepaid Codes

Flying Home Stamp Set

 Here is a sneak peek of this new stamp set from the Occasions Catalog for 2018. This is an adorable set. I colored it with the Stampin' Up! Markers (I do not have the blends...yet), used a piece of the wood dsp. Added a bow of Soft Sky and a a piece of doily. I feel it gives it a soft feminine feel. This could be given as a "Welcome to Your New Home" or "Neighborhood."

Paper Pumpkin Prepaid Codes No Longer Expire

In order to simplify the management of Paper Pumpkin prepaid codes, they will no longer expire, including codes that you or your customers may have purchased prior to this announcement. Going forward you will see this change reflected in the “How to Start Your Paper Pumpkin Subscription” email and in the new gift card available in the Paper Pumpkin Stampin’ University Toolkit.

Even though codes will no longer expire, please be sure to redeem your codes. An unredeemed code is like a gift that has never been opened, and we think everyone who purchases a Paper Pumpkin kit (or receives one as a gift) should be able to enjoy it. We would also like to encourage demonstrators to not hold codes, but rather use them to stimulate new subscriptions and reward your team or your existing customers.

As part of our ongoing effort to encourage code redemption, we will begin sending out a quarterly email to code holders encouraging them to redeem their prepaid codes. If we have a customer record associated with an unredeemed code that is older than six months, we will send an email directly to that customer.

Thanks for helping us to make sure that everyone uses their prepaid codes and enjoys their Paper Pumpkin experience!

Information on Shipping

If you are placing any orders that contain gifts for Christmas, please be advised to submit your order(s) by Thursday, December 14 (December 7 for Canada).

Stampin' Up! turns 30 in October 2018!

Stampin’ Up! is entering its 30th year of stamping fun and the celebrations are beginning. Started in Shelli’s living room in 1988, Stampin’ Up! has become so much more than just a stamping company—it has become a way to create opportunities, build relationships, and share the joy of crafting.

• Have a online party with 30 new and current customers
• Do a swap with 30 people to get new ideas
• Create a 2 or 3 sheet wonder for 30 cards
