I'm so excited that summer has finally begun! No more giving homework reminders, time for everyone to sleep in, morning walks, grilling dinners, time in my garden (I harvested my snap peas the other day - delicious!) and wearing shorts & sandals every day. It's really the simple things that make me happy. I wish
you a very happy summer.
Bonus Days for the Entire Month of July
Back by popular demand - Stampin' Up! offered this special last summer and it was a big hit. For every $50 you spend in products during the month of July, you will receive a $5 coupon to use in August. No limits in the number of coupons you can earn. Coupons will be emailed to you after you place your order, so be sure
your email address is correct.
Not only can you use your coupons towards anything in the new 2017/18 Annual Catalog, but you can also use them towards products in the upcoming 2017 Fall & Holiday Catalog - Whoo Hoo!
Is Summer the Only Time You Have to Create/Craft?
For some of you, I know the "school year" is super busy and you just don't have time to put yourself first and make time for your own creativity. I encourage you to take some time (even if you need to schedule creativity time) for this very important and basic need of creativity. It's really important for your sanity.
According to Albert Einstein "Creativity is intelligence having fun". Here are 5 ideas to help:
1. Take one of my classes
2. Subscribe to Paper Pumpkin (everything you need for the project is in the box)
3. Gather
some girl friends and host a stamping party (daytime or night) or private class
If you would like to receive July's Paper Pumpkin Kit, be sure to sign up by July 10! No sneak peaks for the project this month, but I am sure it will be spectacular. These kits are only $20/month and everything you need to make that project comes right in the box (you can't get that at any craft store!!!). These kits are perfect
for the summer, for almost any age (really, they are perfect for any time of year).
*There
is no time commitment, you can stop them at any time. I've been getting them for 4 years and still love receiving mine.
I can not believe the offer I am about to type - it's that incredible. Purchase a customizable Starter Kit for $99 in the month of July and receive a FREE Essentials Gift Pack AND a FREE Carols of Christmas (not even released yet) stamp set!!!
The Starter Kit is $99 (plus tax) and you choose any products totaling $125 ($26 in free products and free shipping), receive a free Paper Pumpkin kit so you can see how fabulous it is and share with friends ($20 value free), a box of catalogs to share with friends, the Essentials Gift Pack (grid paper, snail adhesive, paper snips, bone folder and 2 "D" size acrylic blocks - value $52) and the soon-to-be-released Carols of Christmas stamp
set (value $20). All of this for $99 (and your state sales tax) - what a deal!!!
After your Starter Kit purchase, you will automatically join my team of "Wicked Stampahs". Right now, there are 18 of us and we are all part of the team for different reasons (enjoying the 20-25% discount, earning an income, going to events, companionship of fellow
stampers, enjoying the hobby and many more reasons). We have a Facebook group to inspire each other and for those local, have monthly creative meetings and two yearly events. You do not even need to live near me to be a part of my team. I invite everyone to join and enjoy all aspects of being part of the Stampin' Up! family. There is no risk involved because you can stop at any time and keep everything.
If you have any questions at all about Stampin' Up!, please ask me! Here's a link to an informational flyer: Tell me more!
Would You Like to Host a Stampin' Up! Party?
Gathering with friends is at the heart of Stampin' Up! and essential for what we do: Inspire, Create & Share. There's hardly any work for you to do, just invite some friends & family and let me do all the rest by showing what I love and having you create some cards of your very own. We can do this at your house or
mine.
