Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. Does anyone have any plans in the works? I’ll be at work all day today and I have a feeling it’s going to be a slow day. The weather is cloudy and blah. People can’t do outside work, so unless they have indoor projects like painting, they will not be visiting us. Looks like I’ll be bringing my Stampin’ Up! catalog with me for some card ideas.

I’ve had a few people contact me about how Stampin’ Up! works. It’s really a great company to be a part of. They are not like a lot of these other companies out there that you can join. You are NOT required to sell if you do not want to. You can join just to enjoy the discount for yourself. Stampin’ Up! has a quarterly required amount that you do have to spend to stay an active demonstrator, but I have to be truthful, it is so doable it’s unbelievable. When I first started, I broke it down monthly and said, I spend that anyway, why not join. If you’ve been thinking about joining, give it a try. If you find it’s not for you, then you just go back to being a customer, no penalties. Once you start to get that discount. you’ll want to stay on though. You get to enjoy at least a 20% discount on everything you purchase, you get to see the new catalogs and Online Exclusives earlier that anyone else and if you want you get to go to the Stampin’ Up! events. We have a very relaxed team and there is never any pressure to sell. Most of our team is made up of Hobby Demonstrators who like to stamp and share. We get together monthly via Zoom to get the updates of what’s going on in the Stampin’ Up! world. We get together once a quarter in person or via Zoom to get updates and stamp together. Everyone loves to share what they are making on our Facebook pages that are private to our group only. Sometimes there’s even prize patrol. Contact me and we can talk. Maybe it’s time for you to start saving money on what you love to do too. Contact me today at creativestampingdesigns@gmail.com and we can talk. Joining Stampin’ Up! was one of the best decisions I ever made. I’ve made so many friends that like to do what I do.

If you need any stamping supplies, I’d love to be your Demonstrator. Just click HERE to go directly to my online store or drop me an email if you have any questions. 

MY CURRENT HOST CODE IS:   D9EX7ZXG

Use this host code when placing an order with me. When you order $50 or greater you will receive a free gift from me! If your order is over $150, please do not use this code, but you’ll still get the free gift. The free gift is your choice of any 1 item valued up to $10.00 from the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog, the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog or from the Online Exclusives!  Unfortunately, packs of cardstock are no longer an option for a free gift. Shipping has become too expensive to ship and it’s costing me as much to ship as the cardstock costs. For any orders $50 or more I will also send you my monthly class tutorials.  Click HERE or go to my Customer Rewards for more details and to see what this month’s tutorials are.

Please remember to use my current Host Code and make sure that you can see my name on the final checkout page listed as your Demonstrator when you order so that you know that you’re ordering with me, and you’ll get my rewards! 

Happy Stamping, Karen

In response to changing policies at Stampin’ Up – I’m adjusting my Ordering Gift policy as well.  I’m having to get a little more tough on the adding of Host codes when you place your order thru my Online Store.

Not to worry – you’re still going to get that $10 ordering gift for orders of $50 (before shipping & tax) or greater.  And the gift is still any 1 SU! product up to that $10 value – which includes some of our fun Host Sets!

But – if you DO NOT use the Host code for your orders of less than $150 (this is the RETAIL total before Shipping & Handling), then you’ll have two options:

1. You’ll need to call Stampin’ Up! (1-800-Stamp-Up) and ask them to add it for you. They’re very helpful and will get it done quickly!  OR….
2. If your order was over the $50 threshold but under $150, then…you’ll forfeit that $10 ordering gift and rewards – this is the Bummer Option – and I REALLY don’t want to do this, SO please remember to add my Current Host Code.
