  • Waiting for News on the Stampin’ Up Blendabilities?

    Waiting for News on the Stampin’ Up Blendabilities?

    So, I’m delaying my originally planned post for today until tomorrow.  So in the meantime, I wanted to share some news I just learned and remind everyone that there is only 5 days left for the Super Starter Kit deal!

    And, after I tell you about the Blendabilities news… you are really going to want to make sure you know about your option for being a member of the Stampin’ Up Family. Smile

    Stampin’ Blendabilities – Coming Soon(ish)

    Now, if you haven’t heard of Blendabilties, they are Stampin’ Up’s version of alcohol ink markers.  These types of markers are great for blending colors and get complex shading of your images.  It also isn’t nearly as hard as it looks either!

    Here is an example of the type of project you can make:

    Pleasant Poppies

    I don’t have this type of marker yet (I just got to play with them at Leadership in January) but I found this BEAUTIFUL card created by Darlene DeVries.  She used Copic markers which is the same type of marker so you can see the possibilities with the Pleasant Poppies stamp.

    Now, if they have Copics, why am I waiting to buy Stampin’ Blendabilities?

    A few reasons…

    1. Stampin’ Blendabilities are more cost-effective!  They will be available for $11.95 for a set of 3 as opposed to $5-$8 a marker.
    2. They will come in SU colors and so coordinate with the papers, cardstock, and accessories I already have.  (I know, I’m a sucker for easy matching!)
    3. You get your markers in sets of 3 that tell you which shades go together.  So no guessing.  I can get a set of Cherry Cobbler markers and have the light, medium, and dark in one set and know I can shade anything red and know which marker colors go together.
    4. And of course, as a demonstrator, I get an extra discount… and any chance to save money on some awesome tools is always a great perk!
    When can I get some Stampin’ Blendabilties?

    So, here is the tricky question.  Thankfully, Stampin’ Up realized that there are a LOT of people eagerly waiting for these markers and so they are trying to make sure they have enough inventory to prevent backorders.  Turns out, manufacturing is taking longer than they thought, so they have had to shift the release date.

    Demonstrators – If you are a demonstrator, you will be able to preorder 6 of the colors plus some accessories with the new catalog products preorder on May 1st!  Then when the new catalog launches June 2nd, the skin tone colors will be out next.

    Customers – We are still waiting to hear when they will be available for everyone to order.  All the Blendabilities products will be shown in the new Stampin’ Up! catalog in June but the date for ordering will be based on how manufacturing goes in the next couple months.  (The goal being as soon as possible when the new catalog launches)

    I’ll keep you posted as they update us, but if you are really eager for your own set of Blendabilities, consider getting your Stampin’ Up starter kit and joining the demonstrator family!  Get all the perks including seeing the 2014-2015 catalog first & get in on the early ordering the new products!

  • 3 Days Left to Join Stampin’ Up! for only $25– a little Q&A

    I’ve had a number of people asking questions about the $25 Starter Kit special and since there is only 3 days left (this offer ends Monday, Oct 21st), I thought I would answer a few questions here on the blog.

    1. Why would I want to be a demonstrator?
      My question is… why wouldn’t you? 🙂
      But seriously, if you love crafting…. love sharing ideas and inspiration with others (even if it inspiration you found somewhere else!)… and/or just love building your Stampin’ Up! collection of supplies, this is a great fit for you.  When you are a demonstrator, you get discounts on everything you buy, commission off anything anyone else buys, and you are instantly brought in to the community that is Stampin’ Up! demonstrators.  There is not only creative support and idea sharing, but there is also a feeling of family where we share and support each other in our lives.  It is a way to earn some extra money (whether to help pay for more supplies, or to help pay a family bill) and gain new friends as you share your love of creating with others in classes and workshops.  Plus, you run your business the way you want to… push hard or just relax and enjoy the benefits.  See more of the benefits here.
       
    2. Don’t I have to do a bunch of selling?
      Nope!
      First off, whether you are looking to do this as a business, to feed your own hobby, or just to get the perks personally and you don’t want to sell to anyone else, you have over 5 months to try it out!  Stampin’ Up! gives you through then end of the first full quarter to make the minimums to keep getting all the perks. So, that means you have until March 31st to sell or buy your first $300 in products.  And keep in mind, that is the retail price… anything you buy, you get at least 20% off.
      There are lots of specials and promotions to earn free stamp sets and cash if you do decide to sell to your friends and family, but no obligation to do so.
    3. What do I get in the starter kit?
      This special is giving you some basics and access to all the demonstrator resources for only $25.  The kit itself includes:
      ** $25 – $26.95 in product of your choice
      ** Business supplies including catalogs, order forms, invitation post cards, and more
      ** And instant access to the demonstrator website, and me as a resource. 🙂
    4. What should I get in the starter kit?
      This is a question I get a lot and it is a bit of a tough one because it really depends on (1) what supplies you already have, and (2) if you are planning on holding classes/workshops or not.
      In general, the starter kit I’ve been recommending to go with this promotion (assuming you aren’t just buying your favorite stamp set or framelit set to fill out your collection) includes
      ** Whisper White Note cards & Envelopes (item 131527)
      ** an ink pad (or the In Color marker set that is on the clearance rack right now for $5.99 because 4 of the 5 colors of markers are still current colors – item 123002)
      ** a single stamp (like the Birthday Cake stamp – item 130390)
       ** a pack of rhinestones (item 119246 ) or candy dots (Item 130933)
    5. $25 Stampin' Up! Starter KitIs there any information or support for me after I sign up?
      Heck Ya!There is TONS of support and information for you after you sign up including 
      **the demonstrator website,
      **demo-only forums and galleries on Stampin’ Connection,
      **the bi-monthly Stampin’ Success, online demo-only groups,
      **our Fun n’ Crafty team facebook group,
      **monthly team meetings in person and via web-conference calls
      **and of course, me!  I’m always here to help and cheer you on!
    6. Ok, I think I’m ready, now what?
      Woo hoo!  I’m excited for you.  All you need to do now is go to the online form to enter your information and select your goodies for your starter kit!

  • Stampin’ Up! Convention 2013 Recap & Announcements

    If you have been following along with all the news from convention, you probably saw and heard a bunch of product announcements, news, and promotions.  Turns out I took around 1,000 pictures, so while I edit those, I thought I would summarize all the news so you can make sure you didn’t miss a thing.

    New Product Announcements

    One of the really fun things at convention is being the first to hear about new products.  This year was no exception and we had a number of fun announcements for what is on the way!

    • Undefined Product Line –  Create your own one-of-a-kind stamps with this new line of rubber carving tools and the raw rubber and blocks to create your image. And yes, I know it sounds intimidating, but it is easier than you might think!  If I can create this flower, you can make a stamp too! Smile
       

    Available Now!

    • Flip Card Thinlit Dies! – I’m super excited about these new dies, and not just because I won one of them. Smile  These dies (in both circle and label shapes) makes it super easy to create fun flip cards with just a few cranks in your Big Shot (instead of fussing about placement, cutting, scoring… etc).
      imageAvailable August 1st

     

    • Envelope Score Board –Now you have another option for creating custom envelopes in 66 different sizes!  The board has printed on the front, exactly what size to cut your paper for the size envelope you want.  Then you just use the guides to score the 4 quick lines, use the built in notch punch to cut away the parts you don’t need, and a  built in corner rounder to punch the corners of your envelope flaps to make them look even cuter!

    Available September 2013

    product share sample

     

    I finally sat down with my new catalog and decided to put together some product shares for some of the new, cute items in the catalog.

  • Stampin’ Up! Regionals and Free Sneak Peek Stamp Set – Eat Chocolate

    Man, yesterday was the Stampin’ Up! regional seminar in Portland, OR and I attended with my mom and my friend Sue.  I flew into town late Thursday night with the hubby and Nicholas.  I was very behind on getting ready and ended up not making swaps until 12:30am the morning of regionals.  I ended up getting too tired and so I took my last few pieces and raced to finish my swaps before everything started. 

    Imagine my surprise when I heard “is this the last minute finishing of swaps?” and I started to respond and looked up to see the speaker was none other than Shelli Gardner herself!  So, of course I had to get a picture (and how does she always take a perfect picture and I always look just a little goofy?)  Anyway, this is me, Shelli, and my friend Sue.

    IMG_1574 (800x600)

    That was super cool to chat with Shelli before things got started (we were actually on the path between the stage and the staff table so she stopped and chatted with us a couple times.  She is a really cool lady).

    I have tons of cards and techniques to share with you over the next many blog posts but today I wanted to share with you the AWESOME recruit promotions that Stampin’ Up! is offering for anyone signing up to be a demonstrator in the next two weeks.
