Hostess Bonus: more FREE stuff!

Stampin' Up has a new promotion just for Hostesses, and you won't want to miss out on it!  It's Good to Be the Hostess runs from Nov. 1 to Dec. 15, and you get an extra $35 of FREE merchandise on top of your $50 Hostess Dollars for your qualifying workshop of $350 or more.  That's $85 in freebies, and I know we can all think of something great we'd like! (The average workshop usually totals ~$300 in orders so it's well worth it to carry your catalog to work or just show it to friends to get a few more orders to meet this minimum!) Higher workshops earn more and you can also earn something at 50% off!  Ask me about how to host a workshop, or have a "silent" one and still qualify for this.  We can make it work for you!

The previous October Recruiting promotion for a free Big Shot Machine or $100 in FREE merchandise when you sign up to be a demonstrator has been extended until Nov. 11, so you still have time to grab that one now!  If your first qualifying order is >$350, you'll also earn the $35 more in goodies.   Ask me why I love being a demo, bet you'd enjoy it too!!

November Stamp Class

It’s already November, can you believe it? So you know that means the holiday rush can soon be upon us, what to do? For one thing, let’s get some things done ahead of time, like stamp those cards and gifts that we all KNOW we’re going to need!

First of all, let’s not let Thanksgiving get lost in the commercialism of Christmas shopping. We need to pause and be grateful for the rich blessings we all have, and what better way than to send a beautiful card (or two!) of thanks to someone we know. With their rich fall colors, these cards have  sentiments that can also be switched out for a subtle birthday/get well/sympathy or almost any type of card, always good to have. I’ll show you the tricks to make the long window card easily with our square SU punches. The fall shaker wreath/door card made with the new SU circular foam frames can be done with Christmas colors too.  Plus you can choose from 3 options of felt embellishments to complete the beautiful snowflake-embossed card, so special and all wonderful!
