Because I'm in SUCH a fabulous mood today, I've decided to offer FREE SHIPPING on all my customer's Stampin' Up! orders from now until the end of July!

No matter where you are in Canada, you too can take advantage of this sweet deal to stock up on new catalogue goodies!

Why am I so happy, you might ask? Last night I learned that I have earned a place in the prestigious Founders Circle award for the 5th year in a row!

Not only did I place for the #1 in Sr. Associate Promotions award, but I also earned the #6 Demonstrator of the Year spot -- boy, was I ever excited!!!

My heartfelt thanks go our to all my fabulous customers, hostesses, friends and of course the awesome women in my "Canadians, INK!" team... I would NOT be in this position without all of YOU.

YOU are why I love being a demonstrator, through the rocky times and the good ones too. Many of you know that this past year has been a particularly difficult with lots of health issues and family "stuff" to take care of. I have especially appreciated everyone sticking with me through it all; your support has meant the world to me.

THANK YOU!!

It's that time again... a new catalogue means fabulous new Designer Papers and don't we want them ALL?

Of course we do...but you who wants to spend hundreds of dollars or need THAT much paper all at once? Instead, try my paper samplers as they're a great way to have a bit of it ALL without breaking the piggy bank!

Here is how it works: When 8 of you sign up for a paper sampler, I order one of each of the Designer Papers in the Stampin’ Up Catalogue. I then cut them all up, sort them out, so that you will receive one 6×6 sheet of every Designer Paper to play with!


SAMPLER A:

There are 16 Packs of Designer paper and you will get one 6×6 sheet of each paper design, giving you a big stack of 96 sheets of DSP! 4 of the packs are Specialty style, so they have flocking or gloss or something special on one side.

SAMPLER B:

There are 5 packs of the Patterns DSP this year and they are packaged a new way! Stampin’ Up is offering paper stacks of our 5 colour groups, so you get more colours in one pack!

The IN COLOR pack has 40 sheets, 4 each of 5 colours. The Brights, Subtles, Regals and Neutrals all have 40 sheets, 10 colors in each pack, 2 each; each pack has 2 sheets with double-sided designs.

You will get one 6×6 of each colour and design for a total of 100 sheets (4 of the In Colors and 2 each of all the rest). That's 45 monochromatic colours in all!

These new paper ‘stacks’ have a glue padding (like a notepad) on one end. That means when I cut it up 4 ways, 2 of you get sheets that are already padded together.

I have 2 fun classes planned for you next week, so book the time off to come and join me:



Wednesday July 14 - Thank You Cards!

- Make 5 different Thank You cards with matching envelopes; class includes your own So Many Thanks stamp. $25 per person.

• RSVP for 1pm or 7pm

Add vintage charm to your projects with this beautiful, high-quality crochet trim.

Tie it, dye it, knot it, gather it, or stitch it--with 5 yards in each package, you’ll have enough for many projects.

■ Approximately 5 yards per package
■ 100% cotton
■ Can be dyed using Classic Stampin' Ink
■ 5/8" wide

Stampin’ Up!’s exclusive Elegant Lines Textured Impressions Embossing Folder creates a deeply embossed image on card stock and paper.

The die embosses one side of the paper and debosses the other side, so you can use either side, depending on the look you want to achieve.

You can emboss an entire card front edge-to-edge or create a large embossed image!

■ Designed to cut through one sheet of paper or card stock at a time
■ Use with Big Shot machine, standard cutting pads, and multipurpose platform
■ Die size: 4-1/2" x 5-3/4"

Labels: Big Shot

Our brand new Distressing Essentials kit includes tools that make it easier than ever for you to create a distressed, vintage appearance on your projects. Includes the following tools:

■ Precision files for sanding intricate die cuts and sanding in tight areas

■ Blendable vintage ink and stamp for creating an aged appearance: Tea Stain, Charcoal, Mahogany, Navy ink

■ Because vintage ink contains alcohol, they are not recommended for scrapbooking

Jewels are just as magical in papercrafting as in fashion. Add a pearl here, a rhinestone there, and your projects take a subtle step up. With our rhinestone & pearl basic jewels, it’s easy to add a touch of class to your projects in an instant!
