August 2021 Newsletter -Â Christine Josti, Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator
I was speaking with a stamper yesterday who has been stamping for over 20 years and she told me that her original ink pads still work - and she's never re-inked them! She has all her original stamps and tools and they all work great. This emphasizes to me that Stampin' Up! makes their products to be long-lasting and top quality - just like the customers and
demonstrators they attract, in it for the long haul and top quality. đ  I'll also add kind, caring, creative, giving, eager to learn more and fun to be around.  I like to hear these stories, so please share yours with me. Keep using your "old" products even though I am telling you all about new ones today.
Those who have been around Stampin' Up! for a while know about the fabulous Sale-a-bration that happened once a year.....but this year, it's happening for a second time!!!!! Summer Sale-a-bration! Â
What is Sale-a-bration? Itâs a special sale where you can earn free products in three different ways between August 3 - September 30:
1. Each increment of $50 or $100 purchased earns you a free product in the exclusive Sale-a-bration catalog. There are no limits or combinations on how many free items you can earn. Â
2. Host a party and in addition to the free Stampinâ Rewards products you earn, you can also earn an exclusive free âIn Your Wordsâ stamp set. You can host either an in-person or virtual party. Let's set one up!
3. Join Stampinâ Up! & my group of âWicked Stampahsâ. Become a member of the Stampinâ Up! community and choose a bundle for free, to go along with your joining kit. See bundle options & more details HERE.

Do you see Christmas items in the SAB picture???Â
This is a first!  Free Christmas & Holiday items (plus other great choices).
~ To sweeten the Sale-a-bration sale, I am offering a free online Dahlia class for orders over $100 in August & September. The Delicate Dahlias stamp set is a level 2 stamp set you can earn for free during Sale-a-bration (with a $100 order).Â
Even if you donât choose the Dahlia set as your free item, you will still receive the class and learn card making technique & tips. I'm working on the designs for the class now and will send out once they are done.
This is the first year I have grown dahlias in my garden and I'm so happy I have decided to give them a try!
Sweet as a Peach Class will be on August 14. Watch anytime if choosing the class-to-go option.
Make four Sweet as a Peach cards and circle-handled favor box. Cards fit into included acetate gift box with coordinating gift tag - the perfect gift to give (or keep). Plus, you get a tube of my favorite multipurpose liquid glue, a box of mini-glue dots, one sheet of Dimensionals, a spool of Petal Pink Sheer Ribbon, and a spool of Linen Thread.  Everything you need to make the projects
included in the class.

I designed this card and it will only be shared here in this email (a perk for being on my mailing list). Directions on how to make this card are below. Feel free to change your pie flavors by switching colors or changing your type of desert to a candy apple, cupcake or fruit cake (see stamp set
