A Whole Lot of Stuff

Hi Crafters,

First, let me apologize for my blog. It's partly broken. I've been trying to get it fixed, but having trouble reaching those who can get it done. I'll figure something out soon. Hang in there with me.

Bonus Days
WOW! Stampin' Up has announced a whole MONTH of Bonus Days! In July 2017, every $50 spent gets you a $5 coupon to use on anything in August! There's no special code to use. 

• There is no limit to the number of coupons you can earn per order-- or throughout the whole month of July.
• An email address is required to participate; Bonus Days coupon codes can only be delivered via email.
• All order types qualify for this promotion except for the Starter Kit-- see Starter Kit details below.
• All coupon codes need to be redeemed in August 2017. They expire at midnight MT on August 31st.

Starter Kit Special

In July, new recruits receive a FREE Essentials Pack, which includes Paper Snips, SNAIL Adhesive, Grid Paper, two D Blocks, and a Bone Folder, ($52.00 value). 

AND IF THAT'S NOT ENOUGH, they will also receive the brand new Carols of Christmas Stamp Set, ($20 value), coming out in the Holiday Catalog.

All this is over and above the Standard Starter Kit of $125 product of your choice for $99.

So all you sitting on the fence, trying to decide if you want the Starter Kit, now's the time to come on and join me. Former demonstrators are welcome to take part in the special, as well.

Schedule Change

Hi Stampers,

The Open House scheduled ​for this weekend, June 3rd, is cancelled and will be rescheduled. Somehow, I thought I could prep for the open house and prep to go out of town during the same week! What was I thinking?!

I'm excited for you to come create and have fun with the new catalog items, so I'll reschedule. Thanks for understanding. Sorry if I caused any inconvenience to you.

In the meantime, happy stamping!
Gayle
