  • Free Stamps for Everyone! Join my $1000 Workshop Event

    I was talking with some friends this week about how I was closer than I’ve ever been before to earning the Getaway Incentive trip from Stampin’ Up! this year.  …Wait, that should be said with a little more enthusiasm… I’m getting close to earning the Incentive Trip this year!!  Smile

    With the Stampin’ Up! year winding down this month, I knew it would be a stretch but I had hope that with 2 more weeks of the quarter to go I would be able to bring in some more sales or have a couple of gals on my demonstrator team promote, since a few are super close (you go girls!)

    Well, one of my friends shared with me a really cool idea for a $1000 workshop and I am so excited to share it with you!

    The Everyone’s a Winner Event!

    If you love FREE STUFF and want the perks of being a Stampin’ Up! hostess without the fuss of planning anything, then check this out!

    I’m In!  Now what do I do?

    Get your order in anytime between today and Sunday, June 23. There are several ways you can turn your order in to me:

    1.  Shop online in my online store (here).
    After you place your order, you will be asked if you have a hostess code.  At that point you will need to put the hostess code in:  HGTANH33.  After completing your order, send me an email and let me know what you want for hostess dollars ($26) or what you would like to have for your 1/2 price item, depending on which hostess benefit is drawn for your name. Once all 10 hostesses have ordered, I will draw the winners of either the 1/2 price item, or the hostess dollars and order them. As soon they arrive I will get them out to you! The biggest advantage in ordering this way is that your order will come straight to you! Also, you can order this way even if you are across the country, or not anywhere local to me!  Yippee! When you order online with the hostess code, your order is delivered to you!

    OR

    2.  Send your order to me in an email (jennifer@nwstamper.com), and I will place it for you.  Be sure to indicate what your choices are for either the $26 hostess dollars or the 1/2 price offer.  Depending on what hostess benefit is drawn for your name, I will order your hostess benefits, and let you know when your order is ready.

  • New Catalog Weekend & Stamps are on Sale!

    Sometimes I hear about the promotions that will be starting up in the near future, and sometimes I log into the Stampin’ Up! website for demonstrators and I’m surprised by a new sale that is being announced.  I figured that since we have the two big catalogs out this weekend that there would be no way they would have anything extra….. WRONG!

    I was so EXCITED because Stampin’ Up! is offering 3 fabulous greeting stamp sets for 25% off!

    Grab-Your-Greetings-Flyer_s

     

    Now, I already love the Petite Pairs stamp set…I love it for cards like this:

  • Top 5 Favorites from the New 2013 Stampin’ Up! Catalog

    2013 Annual CatalogWoo hoo!  Its new catalog time!

    I was so excited when I got to check out the new catalog and was really happy that some of my favorite stamp sets from the Spring catalog are carrying over (Oh Hello, anyone?!)  But I was super excited about some of the new items as well.

    So today I thought I’d share with you my Top 5 Favorites in the new catalog!

    1.  Core’dinations Cardstock in ALL the colors!  (pg 157)
    When I finally started playing with the core’dinations cardstock from the holiday catalog and spring catalog, I discovered a love for distressing and tearing this paper.  The slightly lighter colored core and textured finish, gave a neat look to my projects.  It was also perfect for masculine cards and projects!
    This is in my New Catalog Product Share because I need all the colors to play with. Smile

    Samples of Core'dinations Cardstock from Stampin' Up
    2.  Rotary Blade for the Stampin’ Trimmer (pg 176)
    I love my Stampin’ Trimmer and use it every time I’m crafting.  But I’ll admit I started getting a bit disappointed that I couldn’t easily cut multiple pieces of cardstock at the same time.  Much to my very happy surprise, Stampin’ Up! had me covered!  They brought out a rotary blade for the Stampin’ Trimmer so now I can use my trimmer to cut multiple pieces of paper, fabric, and so much more!

     

    3.  Flower Shop stamp set with coordinating Pansy Punch (pg 95)
    I have a lot of stamps…. big surprise, right?  So, I’ve started getting a bit finickier about what stamp sets I want to get.  However, show me a great stamp set and a coordinating punch, and you have me hooked!  I love

    Flower Shop stamp set with matching posy punch

     

    4.  Chevron Ribbon (pg 173)
    Everywhere you look, you can see chevrons…. but isn’t this ribbon so cute?!  I especially love that it comes in 12 different colors.  So you can play with this cute accent ribbon for cards, scrapbooking, or even that cute sewing project you have going on!
    And yes! You can try out all the colors in my New Ribbon Product Sampler!

    Chevron Twill Ribbon from Stampin' Up

     

    5. Magnetic Platform for the Big Shot (pg 184)
    If you have used framelits with your Big Shot … you’ve probably had at least a time or two where you put your paper down, laid down the framelit, and then put the cutting plate on top – only to realize that something moved and now your perfectly set frame is totally off.  Well, yay for technology… or at least magnets!  You can totally use the post-it note trick for holding your framelit in place, why not let a magnet do the job for you and make it super easy? Smile

    Magnetic platform for the Big Shot

     

     

    So those are my favorites…. so far.  Check out the new catalog and then visit me on Facebook or leave a comment here and let me know what you are most excited for!

  • Swaps to Share Using By The Tide + LAST DAY for the Retirement List Contest!

    Last week was an exciting time for me because I registered for the 25th Anniversary Stampin’ Up! convention in July, got travel all arranged for convention, and then got to participate in a Sneak Peek preview party for the NEW Annual catalog!  It was almost too much excitement for me as I was soooo hyped up on adrenaline by the end of the night on Saturday!

    But it got me thinking about swaps and I remembered I had a number of swaps that I hadn’t shared from Leadership convention a few months ago and so I thought I would pull out a few of them to share with you today.

    These cards all use the By The Tide stamp set from the Spring Catalog.  I’ll admit, this stamp set totally isn’t my thing, but obviously a lot of other people like it as my mom has a similar stamp set from a few catalogs ago and I got 3 cards while swapping using the set!

    I thought these were great ideas and even if you don’t love the stamp set, you can use different papers and stamps and make other great cards!

  • The Card That Made Me Love Baja Breeze + LAST DAY for Free Shipping

    When they announced the color refresh and listed all the colors that were going to be discontinued, I was a little sad and had some nostalgia moments as I remembered projects that I loved using those colors.

    Well, today I thought I would share one of the cards that came to mind first when I was reminiscing about color.  It’s the card that made me fall in love with Baja Breeze.

    Baja Breeze color blocked card

    This card is actually from January 2009!  It was back when Baja Breeze was an In Color and I thought it was nice enough but didn’t love it.  Well, then I started creating different color combinations and when I found this one – I realized how much of a great accent color is was!

    Colors used:  Baja Breeze, Whisper White, Chocolate Chip, Kiwi Kiss (though now I need to try Lucky Limeade instead of Kiwi and I bet it would be just as good)

    Do you have a favorite color combination with Baja Breeze?  I’d love to hear what you use!

    Last Day for Free Shipping!

    image.pngDon’t forget to get in any last orders that you want to save on shipping!  With no minimums and great deals to be had, it is an awesome way to get those items and save.

    Make sure to grab the discontinued color items now too before they sell out!  We’ve already had at least 4 reinkers sell out:

    • Bashful Blue reinker
    • Baja Breeze reinker
    • Regal Rose reinker
    • Certainly Celery reinker

    Reinkers seem to go first followed by cardstock, so check your stash and grab what you need!

    Visit my online store to get your free shipping through 11:50pm MST tonight!
