March Stamp Class Reminder

A quick reminder to you that the Deadline date to sign up for this month's class is Tuesday, Mar. 5th.  There are so many new things to see, so I hope to see you too!  Come join us for a stamping good time!

New: Totally CLEAR Stamps !!!

 Are you ready?  (Drum roll please!)

Stampin' Up has searched long and hard for just the right material to be able to introduce completely clear stamping. At last, they are excited to announce that we now have photopolymer stamps, which will be an addition to our wood-mount and clear-mount stamp line and will appeal to all types of stampers. The top-quality photopolymer has just enough give to create a perfectly stamped image every time and with the introduction of our firm-foam pads, they're meant for each other! Photopolymer stamps will also be unique, fun designs that will inspire you and provide more versatile options you may not see in our traditional wood- and clear-mount stamp options.

What makes them so great?

• They're entirely transparent for perfect placement every time!
• They are durable. The photopolymer material is designed to last.
• Can you say sticky? (Don't worry; in a good way.) These stamps stick amazingly well to our clear blocks.
• They're age tested. They won't yellow or cloud up over time.
• They use FDA, food-safe material. How far can you stretch your stamping creativity?
• We could go on, but we'll let you try them for yourself.

They are clearly a great choice.

 #132956   ---  Designer Typeset Photopolymer Stamp Set - $13.95 

Photopolymer stamps will be offered on a trial basis. Based on popularity, there is hope to release more photopolymer stamp sets over the coming months. At this time there aren't plans to offer a line of photopolymer sets as expansive as our wood-mount and clear-mount lines.

Available on all order types beginning March 1, 2013.

Not available in wood-mount or clear-mount.

All photopolymer will be packaged in cello bag w/insert, but don't forget you can store them in our clear cases.

I'll be ordering mine with this month's class order, how about you?!

March Stamp Class

Our March Stamp Class is filled with more new products and some really fun ideas, and there are some new developments like the Hostess Code!  So read on to see how it all can work for you!

The "ears to you" card is great fun for Easter for this month, but can actually also be used for any congratulatory occasion by changing the sentiment inside.  Notice the real pinwheel in the upper right corner -- it's quick to cut out with its own little Big Shot die.  And the Tea for Two Designer Paper, included in this month's Accessory Pack, has one sheet made to work perfectly with this die, so easy! "Oh Baby", like the previous card, also uses a Singles Stamp which are available only through Mar. 31.  I've designed a little punched-out baby carriage to go with it; isn't it amazing what you can do with only one stamp? 

 

For the next card, we'll use some very textural elements like the new Natural Trim Ribbon, Paper Doilies, a trendy chevron embossed band, and Delicate Details Lace tape (self-adhesive!); all so that you can get that collage-look very easily.  The shabby chic flower is the final touch, simple to make and the perfect accent for this very versatile card when different sentiments are used.

 

The final patchwork-looking card uses more SAB Designer Paper (FREE!), coordinating mini stamps and punches, and one of the new 1" Soda Pop Tops for the perfect focal point.  I'll show you how to easily flatten these for mailing, and wait until you see the mini 1/2" size --it's just too cute! This design is great for using bits and scraps of your leftover but still gorgeous papers and cardstock; you'll want to remember this layout!

NEW: Hostess Code and what it means for you!

Stampin' Up has offered a new way for you to maximize what you can order in a workshop and can earn as a hostess with a Hostess Code.  Up until now, Clearance Rack items could not be included in an at-home party/workshop or for my monthly stamp classes. Also, guests who could not attend a workshop would have to send their order to the hostess or contact the demonstrator for payment, requiring more effort and perhaps a lost sale.  A Hostess Code will cure those issues, here's basically how it works:

For In-Home Workshops: when a party/workshop is scheduled, I will generate a unique 8-character Hostess Code for that Hostess.  She can tell all of her guests this number so that they can order items online from the catalogs and also at the Clearance Rack, which was not possible before.  Whether the guest is able to attend or not, her item total will go towards the Hostess Dollars earned for that party.

For my monthly Stamp Class:  when I post the description of the upcoming month's class, I will include a unique Hostess Code for that month.  If you would like to include Clearance Items in your order, which will count towards the minimum required to get a FREE class, you can do so.  You may attend class and add to this amount to reach the minimum, or place your entire qualifying order (regular and/or clearance) under this code and receive either a FREE class or FREE Card Set if you cannot come.  The deadline to use the Hostess Code for each month will be the second Stamp Class day, and specified each month in the update.  When the Hostess Code is entered online, you will see my name and the Preferred Pricing automatically appear. All orders placed online will be shipped directly to you, as always. If you cannot attend class, I will mail your FREE Card Set to you.

So it's a win-win for everyone who orders and/or  hosts a Stampin' Up party, WOOHOO!
Feel free to contact me if you  have any questions about how this works.
