New Stampin’ Rewards Program

Good Morning! I don’t have a pretty card to share this morning, but I do have some important news to share about the new Stampin’ Rewards program that will be starting next month. The current Stampin’ Rewards program that Stampin’ Up! has had for many years will be going away in mid-April. But in the new program that starts April 15, 2025, you’ll be able to earn Stampin’ Rewards on smaller orders! Yay!!

Here are the details:

You’ll no longer need to place a large order of $150+ to earn free product like you do with the current Stampin’ Rewards system.
You will earn 10% rewards on orders of $20 or more to use on future purchases. So if you place an order of $50, you’ll earn a $5 reward and if you place an order of $100, you’ll earn a $10 reward.
The new rewards will have an expiration date. You can save your rewards for up to a year and you can spend your rewards all at once or a little at at time.
You will need to have an online account at stampinup.com and will need to opt in to participate.
There will be a new Rewards Dashboard to help you easily keep track of and manage your rewards.
The “host code” will be going away, so you’ll no longer need to apply them to your orders.

These changes will begin on April 15, 2025 at 8:00 AM mountain time. We are all excited about the new program and the ability to earn rewards for smaller orders. Let me know if you have any questions.

If you need any stamping supplies, I’d be very happy to be your Demonstrator. Just click on the Shop Now Button on the right side of the screen to go directly to my Online store or contact me if you have any questions. Happy Stamping!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Stampin’ Up! Last Chance Products Updated And More!

Hello!! Stampin’ Up! has several new things happening today, so I just needed to get the word out. Unfortunately, I don’t have a pretty card to share, but the new updates are so exciting!

The Last Chance Products items have been updated! Items from last Fall’s Online Exclusives releases have been added to the lists and some items have bigger discounts. I did notice that in some cases, it’s better to order bundled items separately since the bundled prices are not discounted while the separate items are. It’s a great time to pick up some discounted Christmas items! These items are available while supplies last.

Shop the Last Chance items in the Online Store HERE.

Sale-A-Bration Additional Products

Ready for more? There are EVEN MORE PRODUCTS available to shop, earn, and redeem during Sale-A-Bration. We don’t want you to miss out on these great products and incredible deals, so take a look at our newly added products by clicking on the picture below to download the Sale-A-Bration Additional Products Flyer.

Remember, you must use the item numbers in the flyer in order to redeem these products as Sale-A-Bration items. These products have different item numbers in the catalog, which won’t register as part of Sale-A-Bration.

We’ve included two kits as part of our Sale-A-Bration newly added products. Once the kits sell out, they will be discontinued. If they do not sell out during Sale-A-Bration, they may be discounted at a later date.

Note: The newly added products that are now redeemable during Sale-A-Bration are part of Stampin’ Up!’s existing product offering.

New Online Exclusives Coming March 4!

The Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator Pre-Order period has begun for a new release on Online Exclusives. These new Online Exclusives will be available for everyone to order beginning March 4, 2025. Click on the picture below to download a flyer to get a peek of some of the new items that will be available. This is only a partial list of the new release, so be sure to check back on March 4!

New Kits in Kits Collection!

And Stampin’ Up! has added two new kits in the Kits Collection – The So Much To Celebrate Kit and the Heirloom Arrangements Kit! These are both card kits that are perfect for Spring!

Creative Challenge: Making Gift Boxes from Cards

And since I didn’t have a card, I decided to share this pretty alternative to the Heirloom Arrangements Kit created by the Stampin’ Up! artists. They even provided step-by-step instructions!

Stamp the grid image in tone-on-tone color on the back of the Pretty in Pink and Crumb Cake cards, stamping off first. (The Blueberry Bushel and Cajun Craze cards are already printed on the back.)
With the printed side facing up, score 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ card bases at 1/2″, then cut at 8″. Rotate cards clockwise one quarter turn and score at 1/2″ and 3-3/4″.
Rotate cards back and cut 1-3/4″ down from the top edge of the card on the existing center score line. Cut a 1/2″ x 1-3/4″ piece out of the top right corner. Cut a 1/2″ x 1/2″ square from the bottom right corner and an additional diagonal notch off the bottom right corner. Cut a triangle notch out of the bottom 1/2″ tab at the existing center score line. Cut a small diagonal notch out of the bottom left corner. Fold on all the score lines.
Cut a piece of Basic Beige Cardstock to 3-3/4″ x 3-3/4″ for the bottom of each box.
Add Tear & Tape Adhesive to the bottom 1/2″ tabs and right edge 1/2″ tab on each card and assemble the boxes, using two cards for each box.
Tie Black & Very Vanilla 3/8″ Large Check Ribbon around each box. Create gift tags using kit contents and tie them to the ribbon using twine from the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack.

Sale-A-Bration Is Going On Now!!

Stampin’ Up! Retired Products For Sale

Good Morning! I don’t have a card today but I wanted to let you know that I’m making progress in cleaning out my craft room! As a result, I’ve updated my Retired Products Sale List with a bunch of items from the 2022 – 2023 Annual Catalog. Yes, it took about a year to pull it all together, but I’m finally done with this catalog. Yay!

You can find all the items that I’m selling on my Retired Stampin’ Up! Items For Sale page along with the details. And if you have any questions, just contact me!

I made a small dent, clearing out four piles of stuff. But I still have boxes of stamp sets, dies, embossing folders and punches piled in corners of my craft room and guest room. And they’re not even sorted. UGH!

For the items that are on my retired items sale list, I have them sorted and neatly stored in a corner – I just need to label the boxes before I put them in a closet.

Of course they’re still great for making pretty cards – they’re Stampin’ Up! Here are some examples of past cards I made with them:

Baby steps…

Next is to sort through my recent Holiday Minis and add them to my Retired Items Sale list. The new Annual Catalog will be coming on May 1, 2024 and I need to make some room.

Hopefully, your crafting space is in better shape.

New Online Exclusives Available Tomorrow!

A new selection of Online Exclusive products will be available soon. Online Exclusives won’t appear in any catalog and are only available in the Online Store while supplies last.

I haven’t been able to get my hands on these sets yet, placing my order late, but I’m sure you’ve seen the sneak peeks, so get those shopping lists ready!

Put together elegant birthday cards and tags detailed with gold foil with the Birthday Sparkle Kit (item 163685 – $23)! You’ll get a variety of elements that you can mix and match to create something special for any recipient.

Create home decor with the Happy Houseplants Kit (item 163873 – $25). This kit includes four frames and the paper pieces necessary to create 3D paper plants. Put everything together yourself or gift this kit to any plant lover!

The Kits Collection offering changes frequently as new kits are released, and kit availability fluctuates. To check the availability of these new kits or past kits, visit my Online Store.

The March Paper Pumpkin Kit is Memorable Meadows!

Shopping

Choose a FREE Sale-A-Bration item from the Sale-A-Bration Brochure with every $50 or $100 you spend (before tax and shipping). The free Sale-A-Bration items are stackable, so if you place an order of $150, you can choose to add three $50 items or one $100 item and one $50 item to your order! There are still so many Sale-A-Bration Items still available.

Hosting

Host a party of $300 or more and get an additional $30 in Stampin’ Rewards! Normally a $300 party will result in $36 in Stampin’ Rewards for the host, but during Sale-A-Bration a $300 party will result in $66 in Stampin’ Rewards! Stampin’ Rewards are redeemed to get free items from any current catalog. And if you have a large enough shopping list, you will get the Sale-A-Bration Host rewards in a single order (and that’s in addition to the Sale-A-Bration shopping items)!

Joining

Sale-A-Bration is one of the best times to join Stampin’ Up! as a new demonstrator and there are two fantastic options for purchasing your Starter Kit during Sale-A-Bration
