Bonus Days AND a Giveaway!

WOW, it's like Christmas in July! There is so much to tell you about, I hardly know where to begin!!! I guess I should start with first things first, so.....

• For the entire month of July, Stampin 'Up! is having their popular Bonus Days promotion again! For every $50 spent (pre-tax/shipping) you get a $5 coupon code by email to spend in August. There is no limit to the number of codes you can use, either. (Trust me, there's something coming in August you will want to spend it on. *grin*)

• There is also an awesome bonus gift pack that will be added to any Starter Kit in July! It's called the Essentials Gift Pack and includes Paper Snips, a pack of Grid Paper, SNAIL adhesive, a Bone Folder, two Clear D Blocks, aaaaannnnd the Carols of Christmas stamp set shown below, that will be in the Holiday catalog in September! (Yes, there will be a coordinating die set available and yes, you can preorder it in your kit!!!)
   

That is a $72 value for FREE. Seriously, if you've been toying with the idea of getting the demo discount, this is the time to do it. Those free essentials mean you can choose more fun stuff for your kit! You don't pay shipping on the starter kit, either. You only pay $99 and get to choose $125 in any products you want, plus get the $72 Essentials Gift Pack. Then you get the 20% discount on future orders, and there is no further obligation on your part. I'd love it if you joined my stamping family!

Which leads me to the last nugget.....the GIVEAWAY from YOURS TRULY (not from Stampin' Up!)!

• For every $50 (pre-tax/shipping) you spend using the host code ETCJWP27, you will get one entry into the drawing for a Coffee Café Bundle that includes the Coffee Café photopolymer stamp set, and the Coffee Cups Framelits dies. $100 gets you two entries, $200 gets you four, and so on. The drawing will be held on July 21st at 9:00 PM (Eastern), and winner will be announced Saturday, the 22nd.
  

PLEASE NOTE: Do not use the host code if your merchandise totals $150 or more! At that point, you earn host benefits (but you will still be entered in the drawing!).

Check back here tomorrow night for the Stamp Review Crew blog hop, where we will be featuring this very stamp set with lots of lovely ideas to inspire you!!!

For a Special Friend....

....who just joined my Stampin' Up! family, and I'm so happy to have her aboard (welcome, Natalie)! In addition to the wonderful perks offered by Stampin' Up! (see below), all my girls get a monthly project from me, which consists of a completed sample and illustrated instruction sheet (with measurements) for the project, which they can use for classes or workshops, if they want. Some of my "family" aren't local, so I keep them in the loop by sending notes from the monthly team meeting, plus any updates from the home office, in addition to the monthly project.

If you are thinking about becoming a demonstrator, whether as a hobby demo (for the discount), or as a business (to add to the family income), now is the perfect time to join. Not only is the customizable Starter Kit discounted right now, anyone who signs up during Sale-A-Bration can choose either a pack of Designer Series Paper or a Digital Download EVERY MONTH for the rest of 2012! 

I'd love to have you join my team! If you've been thinking about it, please contact me with your phone number, and I'll call you and answer any questions you have. And, there's an added bonus from me if you sign up before February 29th! But I'm not telling, unless I talk to you personally. Heh heh!

Three Days Left!

The $99 Starter Kit special ends on July 31st...trust me, you don't want to let this slip by! In addition to all the many, many benefits you get from Stampin' Up, you also get lots of perks from me, as well.  My downlines can attend any class, free of charge. If you live out of the area, I'll send the lesson plan, including step-by-step illustrated instructions, plus a sample of the finished project. You'll receive the complete color chart, with punched samples of all the current colors:

You'll also receive labels for all the Designer Series paper (DSP name, item #, page #, list of complementary colors), and labels for your ink pads. I'm available to answer questions pretty much 24/7.

And, from now until this deal ends, you can choose ANY stamp set in the current catalog as a bonus from me!

Join my stampin' family!  You'll be glad you did!!!

It's Here! It's Here! Free Stuff is Here!!!

What's here, you ask? Only the biggest Stampin' Up! promotion of the year! For a limited time early every year, you get to choose free goodies. And it's unlimited! For every $50 in merchandise you purchase (before tax & S/H), you can choose something from the SAB catalog (which includes over 60 specified stamps from the big catty, too!). Spend $50, get a gift.  Spend $100, get 2 gifts, and so on. Host a party, pool your order with friends, or just splurge on yourself, and for every $300, choose an additional freebie!

And as if that weren't enough, the customizable Starter Kit (valued at more than $310) is discounted to under $149 AND you get an additional product bundle valued up to $50. If you've been considering joining the Stampin' Up family, now is the perfect opportunity. You really have nothing to lose! You have three choices if you decide to join:

1. Be a hobby demo just to get the discount. Stampin’ Up! supports all demonstrators, no matter their goals or the level at which they choose to run their business. You only need to submit $300 in sales per quarter. That is less than an average Stampin’ Up!® workshop! Also, you can submit your sales in any increment you wish and still receive your 20 percent discount and commission.
2. Choose a career path to fit your individual needs. Stampin’ Up! provides dozens of training resources filled with project ideas and tips to help you run every aspect of your business. You can earn money in three ways: instant income (20 percent of each order), monthly volume rebates (5–20 percent
   of total sales), and monthly downline override commissions (2–6 percent of your recruits’ sales).
3. If you decide to drop, just don't place any orders and you will automatically be dropped. You don't even have to return the Starter Kit.

Just some of the benefits:

• The Starter Kit ships FREE!
• Try it out for yourself! Enjoy all the discounts and benefits through June 30th, with NO obligation to do anything else.
• There is no penalty if you decide to drop (but I think you will find you want to stay!).
• Demos get the same benefits as hostesses, too.  Stampin' Up really spoils us!
• Too many more to list here, but I'd love to tell you more about it, if you are interested. Contact me through my Stampin' Up! website.
