All the Details You Want to Know about January

Published: Tue, 01/05/21

Happy New Year!

There's a stamp in the A Wish for Everything set that says "Hope this New Year is filled with promises of many bright tomorrows". I wish this for each of you and your families.

January marks the beginning of two new catalogs! The new seasonal catalog (called January - June or JJ for short) will be available to us longer than in the past - until the last day of June! Even though it's considered a "mini" catalog, it's still 90 pages long. There's something for everyone.

The Sale-a-bration catalog is full of everything that is free. You'll see more details on Sale-a-bration later in this newsletter.

In this newsletter, you will find information on:

- Basic White

- the new Mini Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine

- Sale-a-Bration and all the ways to get free products

- A few new catalog highlights

- My January Special

- Links to sign up for my Open House

- How to get a Catalog & Virtual Links

- Hey Chick Stamps

Mini Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine

The wait is over! This cute little (put very practical) Mini Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine is now available for purchase. And just in time! You will earn a free Sale-a-Bration item if you purchase it in either January or February. I pre-ordered mine last month and have really enjoyed using it because it takes up so much less space on my table! I will film a little video (to go with the little machine) in the next two weeks showing some little tips.

This Mini Machine has a working area of 3" where the big one has 6".

Sale-a-bration

For those who have been with me a while, you know how great Sale-a-bration is. For those new to me, let me explain. Sale-a-bration is a special sale that used to happen only once a year. Beginning in 2021, it's going to happen twice a year. January & February AND July & August. There are three ways for you to earn free products.

1. Shop - for every increment of $50 or $100 in products ordered, you get to choose a free item in the exclusive Sale-a-bration catalog. There are no limits as to how many free things you can earn. There are 7 choices for the $50 level and 2 choices for the $100 level (or spend $100 and choose two $50 level items).

2. Host - host a party that totals $300 (or choose your own $300 in products) and earn a free Punch Party stamp set in addition to all the other free products you earned in #1. Every stamp in the set coordinates with a punch.

3. Join - Join Stampin' Up and receive FIVE stacks of their newest (to be released in June for the public) stacks of Designer Series Papers for free.

Choose any products totaling $125, but pay only $99 as your Starter Kit. In addition to this savings and the free papers, you will also receive free shipping and a complimentary Paper Pumpkin kit, plus catalogs to share with friends/family. You will also become a part of my creative team of Wicked Stampahs, who range from beginner stampers to avid crafters as well as hobbyists (they are their only customer) to teaching others and selling products. There is room for everyone on my team no matter what your level or stamping intention. We are all-inclusive.

January - June Catalog Highlights

Here are four quick videos showing a glimpse of the many new sets of products. I will be filming my own catalog walk through this week and will post & share.

January–June 2021 Mini Catalog

Love You Always

Floating and Fluttering Bundle | Stampin' Up!

Sand and Sea Suite | Stampin' Up!

She doesn't mention that the Seashells Embossing folder works with the die! The die lines up with the shell impressions and cuts them out. This suite is sure to be a fan favorite!

My January Ordering Special

For the month of January - for every 10 people who order $100, you will receive three things from me: a pack of free Opal Rounds gems, a roll of Blackberry Bliss Striped Ribbon* (from the new January - June catalog) AND a free Sweet Strawberry Online Class PLUS the free Sale-a-bration products you choose (I recommend choosing the Berry Blessings stamp set & Berry Delightful pattern paper that will go along with the class).

Or, sign up in January or February with Stampin' Up! and my team and also receive the Sweet Strawberry Online Class from me as a welcome gift.

*or substitute item if backordered.

Special Birthday & Stamping Celebration

I’m combining my annual Sale-a-bration Open House with my 50th birthday, highlighting some of the birthday stamp sets in the catalogs. Since we can’t gather in person this year for my annual Open House, I am hosting it on Facebook. Which means more of you can attend!

This Saturday, January 9, 11 - 1pm EST

Just like my regular Open House, there will be lots of samples to see, demonstrations of new products, socializing, perks and giveaways.

If you can’t watch/attend live, that’s ok! You can catch all the replays on this special Birthday party FB page and refer back to the projects as many times as you wish.

But, you need to RSVP to attend and get the links. You need to both sign up by clicking this link and then join the special facebook group with the link you will receive.

New Catalogs!

I have mailed out complimentary catalogs to those who have placed orders with me in the last 6 months. I have plenty more. If you live local, you can pick up a catalog from my porch pick up box anytime. Send me an email after you have picked one up so I know who has one.

If you would like a catalog mailed to you, I am asking for $5 to cover the postage. Once you place an order with me, I will mail you $5 back.

Send me an email with your name and address and I will send you the PayPal link.

See the catalogs online!

Hey Chick Announcement

We know that there are many chicken lovers out there and even more since the pandemic began. Did you know there was a baby chick shortage?? My niece received 4 baby chicks as a birthday present last summer (and is in love with them). There is a new Hey Birthday Chick stamp set in the January - June catalog....but wait there's more (or will be more). Beginning in February (or now if you become a demonstrator in January) there will be dies to go with that set and bundled together to save 10%. AND Stampin' Up! is bringing back the Hey Chick Sale-a-Bration set from 2017 with their dies as well.

So, if you were thinking about getting some chicks to stamp, you just may want to wait until February for these extra options.
