Last Day to Sale-a-Brate Savings

LAST DAY - FREE SAB product,  $50 GIft from Me when you Join my Team, "I WANT IT ALL KIT" at 47% off Retail...just $169!!

Yes - all this goodness just for you ...

ONE Day left to enjoy FREE Sale-a-bration stamps, designer paper,  ribbon or all of them. ONE DAY left to start your own Stampin 'UP! business for just $169 ... and a free stamp set of your choice. ONE DAY only to take advantage of a $50 gift from me when  you join my team.  (You must tell me you saw this special on my blog.)

$50 GIFT FROM ME - Those joining my team receive a $50+ gift that includes make n' take packets to help you with your first couple of projects, embellishment samples (to include the new grommets) and Designer Paper samples.  

I would love to have you on my team MAKING A DIFFERENCE (MAD Stampers) - near or far I can support you in achieving the objectives you have for joining.

Remember that SU allows you to enjoy your business your way -

1. SMART SHOPPER - being a Stampin' UP! demonstrator is like having a gold plated 20% off coupon. Always purchase at a minimum 20% savings (join TODAY and you can enjoy up to 40% on spring mini sets) IN addition demonstrators can act as hostesses anytime they want - earning not only a commission but the hostess benefits as well!

2. BUDGET HELPER - add to the family budget by setting a financial goal for yourself and allowing me to help you learn what it takes to add that amount to your family budget. The amount you are able to earn is only limited by your desire and willingness to try.

3. CREATIVITY CRAVER - Do you love making things, do you crave  creativity? Then SU!s exclusive top quality product, online technique videos, monthly full color publication, demonstrator only website and demonstrator only events is just what you need to get your creative fix. As a demonstrator you will be able to experience it all first hand. 

4. CAREER & RESUME BUILDER - Add to your resume the skills that come from owning your own business - time management, budget/expenses, training, marketing, communication, leadership, team building, teaching  and more. Being a Stampin 'UP! demonstrator is a resume builder - whether you enjoy Stampin' UP! on the side as you pursue a traditional career, as an income supplement while you stay at home with your children or maybe find yourself as one of the many in America out of work or with decreased hours... Being a Stampin' UP! demonstrator provides you with valuable skills to put on any resume.

BUT..
I have no time - The flexibility Stampin' Up offers through sales from home events, classes, clubs, customer orders, on line orders, scrapbooking, stamping, crafting, and more allow you to fit Stampin' Up! into your life's priorities.

I don't know anyone -  With my experience, I can offer several ideas that can help you reach many markets and give you the wonderful opportunity to make many new friends and acquaintances.

I am too shy to talk in front of people - so don't talk - stamp, scrap and craft with them. Simply enjoy sharing what you love to do and let it just happen.

I have no experience - That's ok...I have 6 years of experience, a huge resource of materials available for your use and a team ready and willing to help you.  I also offer free training to help you get started.

I am not sure it will work - That's ok too - if it doesn't work, you are left with great product that you enjoyed a huge savings on - in addition... any new, unopened merchandise can be returned to SU for a full refund per DSA guidelines.

I hate commitments - Again, that's ok  - with Stampin' UP! there are no minimum required starter parties or minimum required starter orders.  The only commitment you need to make IF you want to remain a demonstrator is $300 in sales per quarter. Most demonstrators find this easy to achieve when they focus on $100 a month in sales.  This is how I started and before I knew it, I had enough business to quit my regular job.  The choice is yours.  Take it one day at a time and watch what can happen. 

So what are you waiting for?? 15% savings, FREE Additional Stamp set, $50 gift from me.. Nothing to lose - - -

Hawaiian Discount Days Sale

As promised for all my dedicated blog readers, I am offering you a special Hawaiian Discount Days Sale.  Place an online order of $15 or more anytime from March 18 through March 28 and I will place your name in a drawing to receive a FREE 2 step-stampin' Painted Posies stamp set, Basic Black ink pad, three Stampin' Write markers and 5 notecards with envelopes.  This kit is valued at $35 and will give you hours of enjoyment.  Below is a card I made using the same supplies that you can win just by placing a $15 online order!  Is this your lucky day?  It's easy to find out...go to www.oh2bstampin.stampinup.net and place your order.

Supplies:  Whisper White cardstock, Pretty in Pink grosgrain ribbon, Painted Psies stamp set, Black, Regal Rose, Almost Amethyst and Certainly Celery ink pads,  Big Shot Oval die cut. 

Also, remember that as long as supplies last, you will receive a complimentary copy of the Spring/Summer 2009 Big Idea Book & Catalog when you place an online order and you will also receive a free Sale-a-Bration gift for every $50 order you place.

In addition to the Hawaii Special Sale, I am making another offer just to my blog readers.  I have set a goal to have $6000 in sales during Sale-a-Bration...the months of February and March.  If I make my goal, I will offer unlimited quantities of Snail Adhesive and Adhesive Refills at 40% OFF during the month of April to anyone who has placed a minimum $50 order during Sale-a-Bration. I've been working really hard but it looks like I may be a bit short by the end of the month.  Can you help me close that gap?

Have you always wanted the set of Stampin' Write markers or are you dreaming of owning the Sizzix Big Shot die cut machine?  Maybe you already own the Big Shot...check out our brand new dies!!  How about owning the entire set of ink pads?  If you place your order before the end of March, you will qualify for a free Sale-a-Bration gift for each $50 you purchase, you will help me reach my goal AND you will be able to order all the Snail Adhesive your little heart desires at 40% OFF!! 

Take a stroll through the catalog and see if you can help me so I can help you...thanks!

Have you ever seen a beautiful project that you wanted to copy but didn't have the right color ink pads to duplicate it?  Now is the perfect time to stock up on a variety of our Classic or Craft ink pads so you can be ready the next time you see a project you want to copy. 

Did you know that you could order just ONE color family of ink pads (12 to a family) between now and  March 31 and receive a free stamp set from the Sale-a-Bration mini catalog?  Or you could purchase TWO color families of ink pads and receive 10 yards of delicious Certainly Celery polytwill ribbon, 10 yards of So Saffron 5/8" wide grosgrain ribbon AND a 16 package of 12"x12" two-sided Designer Paper to coordinate.  If you want to see these items, just click on the Sale-a-Bration mini catalog in the left hand column.  You can also find directions for this beautiful card on page 5 of the mini catalog.  It highlights the Delicate Dots Designer Paper that you can receive free with a $50 order.  Offer ends March 31, 2009 so be sure to take advantage of this great bargain!

If you would like an even larger variety of colors available, consider purchasing the Classic or Craft ink Stampin' Spots.  The Classic Stampin' Spots come in a set of 48 for $22.50.  The price for a set of Craft Spots is $25.95.  Stampin' Spots are miniature ink pads (approximately 1" x 1") and are best used by placing your rubber stamp on the table (rubber facing up) and tapping the "spot" onto the rubber.  One of the greatest benefits of the Stampin' Spots is that they require very little space to store a large variety of colors.   If you are interested in knowing the differences between Classic Ink and Craft Ink and the benefits of each, click here.

From March 18 thru March 28, 2009, I will be offering my blog readers ONLY a very special promotion so be sure to check back on March 22 to see the details and how you can SAVE!

Stampin' Supplies Index

For those of you who are familiar with our Big Idea Book & Catalog, you may have noticed that the Supplies Index listing all the products used in each project in the catalog was removed from the back of the Spring/Summer book.  If you are like me, it was a resource you frequently used and now miss.

Now you can find the same information including color pictures in the document titled Stampin' Supplies Index found in the Links section of my blog (left hand column).  Note:  It can take several minutes to download the document even with hi-speed DSL because it contains a LOT of info but it's worth the wait.  I love the ideas Stampin' Up! provides in their Idea Book and hope you do as well.

Easter Sneak Peek

Just in time for making your Easter cards and Easter projects, Stampin' Up! has released new Easter stamp sets.  You can find more information for these sets in the Sneak Peek Occasion Mini catalog in the left column.  Just click to view the details. 

If you would like to place an online order, you can go to my Stampin' Up website at www.oh2bstampin.stampinup.net and click on SHOP NOW.  You will also receive a free Idea Book & Catalog with your online order (while supplies last).  If you would rather place your order with me, feel free to call me at 410-479-4348 or email me at carolyn@oh2bstampin.com.

Keep in mind that for EVERY $50 order you place, you can receive a free Sale-a-Bration item...no limit!  This promotion will end March 31 so take advantage of it now.

What's the Occasion? Class #1

Just a reminder that the "What's the Occasion?" Classes start April 6.  I only have 2 seats still available in the first class of the series.  The cards will include several different occasions.  The last day to register and prepay is Wednesday, April 1st.  The cost is $20 and includes 10 cards (5 designs * 2 cards each). Envelopes will be available at the class for 30% off!  Please provide your own adhesive; all other materials will be supplied by me.
