Sale-a-Bration Starts Today

Sale-a-Bration starts today! This is a great time where you earn a free stamp set from the Sale-a-Bration catalogue when you spend over $100. Remember, it is a free Sale-a-Bration set for every $100 spent. Other ways to earn more free stamp sets are to join Stampin' Up! or host a workshop where sales reach over $600. Further details are listed below in my previous post. As I predicted, my scanning device on my printer isn't co-operating so I haven't yet been able to scan the brochure so if you would like a copy of the brochure, please contact me and I will send one out to you. Alternatively, log on to www.stampinup.com.au to check out the PDF of the catalogue under the 'specials' tab.

Animal Stories

Here is a sample of a Birthday Card using the Giraffe stamp from the 'Animal Stories' ($24.95) stamp set from the Summer Mini. I have also used a sample of the Tall Tales DSP which has some great animal prints. The technique I have used is 'rock'n'roll' where I have stamped the Giraffe in So Saffron then rock 'n' rolled it on Chocolate Chip ink.

Upcoming Sale-a-Bration Promo and other info...

Sale-A-Bration

This is a great promotion that runs from January 25 to March 31 2010. Basically, there are 3 easy ways to earn free Stamp Sets from the Sale-A-Bration catalogue:
1. Spend
Spend $100 with Stampin' Up! and you earn one free Sale-A-Bration Set of your choice (choice of 4). Remember, there is no limit, so for every $100 you spend, you earn a free stamp set!

2. Host
Host a Workshop of at least $600 and earn one free Sale-A-Bration Set in addition to the generous Hostess Benefits.

3. Join
Join Stampin' Up! during Sale-A-Bration and receive a free Stamp Set from the Idea Book and Catalogue (up to $79.95).

The stamp sets from the Sale-A-Bration Catalogue are lovely and I will try to upload them from January 25.

Please contact me if you would like to book a Workshop during Sale-A-Bration so you and your friends can make the most of this promotion or if you simply have your own Wishlist that you would like to order from, I can arrange for your order to be sent directly to you.

Stamp Club

I am looking to run another 'Stamp Club' again this year. Basically, there are 6 members who each take a turn in being a hostess without hosting a workshop. To ensure we meet the $300 hostess benefits criteria, each member spends $50 per month and if it is your turn at being a hostess that month, you get the free hostess money (at least $30) and a Hostess Stamp Set of your choice. This is a great way of building up your collection on a gradual basis and receiving the hostess benefits without hosting an actual workshop. If I have enough members (I require 6), I will start in the last week of January, that way you receive 3 opportunities to receive a Sale-A-Bration Stamp Set if you spend over $100 so please let me know ASAP if you wish to join or have any questions regarding the stamp club.

Happy New Year!!

Okay so I know this is all a bit belated but Happy New Year to you all! We have been down at West Beach since Boxing Day and only arrived home today. Not having a computer made for a nice break from technology but frustrating too, it's amazing how much our lives rely on it these days! It was strange to not have any craft projects to do but it was nice to just sit and relax and it is now very hard to get motivated to do anything! As I have nothing to show in the way of craft for my holiday period, here is one I prepared earlier...Thank you to all of you who helped make 2009 a successful and fun year for me and I look forward to catching up with you all again soon..

Sale-a-Bration is coming so keep watching for more info and don't forget the Stampin' Up! Sale that is currently on, details of items on sale are listed in my previous post.
