15-off-stampsAwesome sale began today!  15% off STAMPS!  Gotta love that.  The only exclusions are the rotary stamps, hostess stamps, clearance rack stamps and the bundles (remember that bundles get you 15% off of both the stamp set and die/folder/punch).

SO…I thought I’d share my top 10 stamp sets!

Hi there!  I’m in Salt Lake City at Stampin’ Up!’s Inspire.Create.Share. Convention as I type this!  I’m in for a few days of fun, friends, free products and a sneak peek of the upcoming Holiday Catalog!  YAY!

So…while I’m gone, I wanted to do something for my customers.  I know I LOVE getting free shipping while ordering online so that’s what I settled on!  FREE SHIPPING from Thursday, July 17, 2014 until 11:50 pm Central time on Monday, July 21, 2014!  Just place your $50+ order (before tax and shipping) in my online store by clicking HERE and I’ll send your shipping cost back to you via Paypal or snail mail (whichever you prefer)!

I hope you are able to take advantage of this offer and enjoy some products from the new 2014-2015 Annual Catalog! 🙂  This offer is from ME to you, not the company, so it isn’t available through other Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators!

Have a great day!  We’re headed out NOW for the official start of Convention this morning!!!  Stay tuned to my blog for daily updates, as well as my Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram accounts!

 

Hi there!  Today is a GOOD day!  Why?  Because the BRAND NEW 2014-2015 Annual Catalog is LIVE!  Oh yay!  I’m LOVING SO many of the fantastic things found within it’s pages!

HERE is the link to download the 2014-2015 Annual Catalog PDF.

An apology in advance for this lengthy post! 🙂  I also apologize for my long hiatus!  I’m working on 24 samples for display for our Stampin’ Up! Convention in July so I’m really trying to get those done.  Bonus…in July, I’ll have 24 pretty sweet projects to share! 🙂

A new catalog is always exciting and brings a great variety of new things everyone wants to try out!  I’m doing my first catalog shares to help you try everything you want at a MUCH lower cost than buying it all yourself.  🙂  A share means several people are splitting the 10 yard rolls of ribbon into 2 yard segments and getting every color OR cutting the Designer Series Paper into 6″x6″ pieces and having every pattern right now!

Here’s how the 2014-2015 Stampin’ Up! Product Shares work:
-Sign up for a spot in the product share(s) you’d like to receive
-As soon as the share is full, you’ll receive a Paypal invoice for the total amount
-Once I’ve collected payment from all people in the share, I will place the order for the product (SU! policy says I cannot order it and collect payment later)
-I will order the first round, if full, on June 2nd, and will plan to ship it out the week of June 9th (estimated arrival time is two weeks allowing for time for it to ship to me, get packaged and ship out to you)
-Designer Series Paper (DSP) Shares & I WANT IT ALL Shares will come packaged in a cello bag (to protect from water damage) in a Flat Rate Priority Bubble Mailer.  Ribbon Shares will come wrapped and secured to chipboard for wrinkle free use and packaged in a cello bag in a bubble mailer.
-If you are local to me (St. Joseph, MO area), you can pick up your share(s) at my home instead of paying the shipping cost.

Pictures of shares will be added as soon as products are received.

The Retiring Lists are finally here!!!


Both the STAMPS and ACCESSORIES on the lists are while supplies last only so get them now before they sell out!  Stampin’ Up! made this especially easy by offering FREE shipping on Monday, April 21st – Friday, April 25th.
FREE SHIPPING is on ANY Stampin’ Up! products:  current, retiring, online-exclusive, clearance, etc. so feel free to combine any or all of these types of things in my Online Store when you’re shopping.
I’m also offering a free gift for everyone who places an order using the Hostess Code HMTUFKZS.  (Do not use the Hostess Code if you are placing an order of $150 or more as you get your own hostess benefits.)

The Retiring 2012-2014 In Color Products (Midnight Muse, Raspberry Ripple, Primrose Petals, Gumball Green, Summer Starfruit) will sell out the fastest so remember to stock up on your cardstock, ink refill, ribbon, etc. if you’re loving a specific color, sooner rather than later!

Again, remember that the products will only be available while supplies last (this is the first time SU! has done this so I just want to make sure everyone knows).
If you would rather have the Retiring Lists as PDF documents, here they are to download too:

Stampin' Up! Project Life IntroductionStampin' Up! Project Life May 1 Products

We are so so so excited to let you know we’ve partnered with the amazing Becky Higgins to bring you the real deal—authentic Project Life products, now in exclusive Stampin’ Up! colors and designs. If you’ve somehow missed the Project Life craze and are wondering what it’s all about, we’ll fill you in: it’s a super simple, totally affordable way to get your photos into albums: you just slip your photos into Photo Pocket Pages and add designed cards. It’s a back-to-basics approach to documenting your life. In a nutshell, it’s all about spending more time making memories and less time scrapbooking them.

You’ll be able to order a selection of Project Life products starting May 1! And with the launch of our new annual catalog on June 2, you’ll be able to buy from our complete line of Project Life products.

Can’t wait that long? Stampin’ Up! demonstrators will be able to order the limited selection starting April 21. So if you’re a demonstrator make sure to check the demonstrator website that day; if you’re not a demonstrator, sign up and you can order the products early too!

Here are the items you’ll be able to purchase on May 1:

Stampin' Up! Project Life May 1 Product ListI started papercrafting when I was 10 when my mom and I started scrapbooking together.  Many, many years later, I found Stampin’ Up! and fell in love with the simplicity of card making.  Project Life is EXACTLY what I need to get back into scrapbooking again so I can’t wait to order these products and start documenting our memories again!  I love looking at my old scrapbook pages and remembering the stories and people.
Now to print some of the thousands of pictures that I’ve taken…that’s definitely one drawback of digital photography.  Anyone out there like me that hasn’t printed a picture in years?  I think pictures are actually the #1 reason I quit scrapbooking.  I’d print a picture but so often felt like I needed it in Black & White or a different size or whatever so I just went to card making where I didn’t have to worry about a picture at all.
I hope you’ll stay tuned!  I’ll do some videos on the products when they come but I won’t be able to post those until it’s available for customers to order on May 1st.  I hope you’re as excited as I am!  And just in time for National Scrapbooking Month!!!  Perfect timing!
I almost forgot…here’s the video announcement!

Hi there!

Today I wanted to let you know about a special I’m doing for my customers and friends!  This special is offered by me and is in addition to any specials Stampin’ Up! does!

I am offering FREE shipping on any order of $40 or more from Friday, November 29th until Monday, December 2nd!

 

How this will work:
-Simply visit my online store (I’ll send out that link early on Friday!) to place your order.

-I will refund you the price of your shipping through Paypal (email me after you place your order with your Paypal address) or if you don’t have a Paypal, I can work out another option of mailing it to you.

Extra Benefits
In addition to FREE shipping, you can also receive:
-DOORBUSTER – The first 5 people to order $40 or more on Black Friday ONLY will get an extra special gift in the mail from me, along with an extra special hand stamped card!!!

-A spot on the 50/50 Board for every $50 you spend.  When 50 names are on the board, I’ll draw for a $50 certificate.

-A chance at winning the hostess benefits when you put the hostess code KJ2A3S37 in at checkout.  You’ll get an entry for every $25 you spend.  (Don’t use this if you’re placing an order of $150 or more – you get your own benefits then!)

Ordering off of the Holiday Sale with savings of up to 50%!  CLICK HERE to check that out!  (You can also double dip on sales by getting items off the Clearance Rack HERE and triple dip by getting the Weekly Deals HERE!!!  Pretty awesome if you ask me!)

Think of ordering some gifts for yourself to wrap under your tree (your husband will be so thankful that you’re getting things you want) or for crafty friends and family!  Who wouldn’t love getting something they love and would use?  Your hubby doesn’t want you to buy your own presents?  Give him a wishlist of items you want and have him call/text me at 816.341.0208 or email me at Sarah@SarahLovesToStamp.com!

Thanks so much for being the best friends and customers ever!  I am so thankful for each of you and the part you play in me getting to have my dream job! 🙂

 

Yesterday Stampin’ Up! added retired products to the clearance rack at savings up to 80% off!  For the first time ever, there are also stamps on the clearance rack so be sure to check those out!

Here are my top picks:
-1-1/4″ Striped Grosgrain in ANY color!  This is one of my all time favorite ribbons!  Ties beautifully and an easy way to add pattern and texture to cards, scrapbook pages and other projects.
-Markers!  There is nothing wrong with these markers, but SU! decided not to sell them all individually any longer.  A real steal at $0.89 a piece!!!
-Ink Pads – keep in mind these are the old style of ink pad that was retired last may.  I do like our new ones much better, but for the stamper on a fixed budget at under half price, they are a great way to build up your collection of colors for much less!  An amazing deal at only $2.39 per pad!
-Punches!  Need I say more?  LOVE!  (The body style is the old black body – but that is the only difference!)
-Big Shot Alphabets – Get these very expensive items at a fraction of the price!  I love using mine for banners and scrapbook pages, too!

I was going to wait to post this on Monday, but items are already selling out so I didn’t want you to miss out!!!  Let me know if I can help in any way!

CLICK HERE to shop in my Online Store NOW! 

Click on Clearance Rack Blitz to see all of the amazing deals that were just added!  (The other items are still in the regular clearance rack, as well!)

Don’t forget!  Today is also the LAST DAY to take advantage of the Recruiting Special of an entire set of 10 ink pads FREE with your starter kit!!!  So choose your $125 worth of merchandise and only pay $99 for it – you can include Clearance Rack items to get even more bang for your buck – and then select if you want the Brights, Regals or Subtles Collection for FREE!  CLICK HERE to visit my page on Joining my Team and follow the link at the bottom to sign up online NOW!  Don’t hesitate to call me at 816.341.0208 if you have any questions!

 

I just love these cute little packaging bundles SU! put together, at a discount, to make our holiday gifting even easier.  The glassine bags are the same ones that are in the Ghoulish Googlies Halloween Kit in the Holiday Catalog.  Love those bags – especially when you run them through an embossing folder before stuffing your goodies inside!

Sassy-Salutations-Merry-Minis-Christmas-Card

Hi there!  Today is the FINAL day of the Online Extravaganza!  If you haven’t taken advantage of the best sale Stampin’ Up! offers all year, you have just a few more hours until it closes at 11:50 pm Mountain Time.  In the spirit of sharing cards made with products on the sale, here is a card we made last week at my Intro to Stamping Class!  Super fun and cute!  I love layering the little punches on top of the 1″ Square Punch (on sale) and then onto the Postage Stamp Punch!  The smaller, simple note cards below this info use many of the same supplies, but do not use the stamp set, just the punches.  These are going to be my Christmas thank yous that I send out to friends and family.  For these cards, punch the smaller punch first (Merry Minis Punch Pack) and then it is much easier to center the larger one (1″ Square Punch) around it.  I CASEd both the little thank yous, as well as the card above from the fantastic Julie Davison!!!

I used a favorite of mine, the Basic Rhinestone Jewels (30% off) yet again!  The Gumball Green 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon is in a bundle with the Raspberry Ripple &  Summer Starfruit (30% off too) for $18.81 – that’s 30 yards of ribbon total!  That’s just under $0.63 per yard!  WOW!

Scentsational-Season-Gingerbread-Pair

Hi there!  Today I have another super cute card that we made at my Stamp-a-Stack this month!  This one was CASEd from my dear, dear Canadian friend Desiree Spenst – although I think she said she had also CASEd it from someone else.  Such is the stamping world!!! 🙂  Anyway, remember that our fabulous Online Extravaganza Sale lasts until Wednesday, November 28th – again, ending the sale with three 24 hour only deals!  CLICK HERE to download the PDF and check out all of the spectacular deals!

I just love this little gingerbread boy and girl from the Scentsational Season stamp set in the Holiday Catalog!  Remember that if you love them too, they are only available until January 2, 2013!!!  To make the little boy, I tied a little bow with the Cherry Cobbler Baker’s Twine and put some of the Basic Rhinestone Jewels on for his buttons.  They are on sale for only $3.47!!!  I think I already ordered 4 packages to stock up!!!  The little girl gingerbread’s bow is made with 2 of the tiny hearts from the Owl Builder Punch!  Clever use, huh?  🙂  As I said, not my idea but BRILLIANT!!!  I also used the Gumball Green ribbon that is on sale in the bundle, as well as the Brights Designer Series Paper Stack.  I LOVE both of these items, but think it especially hard to see how awesome the Brights DSP Stack is!  It includes 2 each of 2 double-sided designs in all 10 colors in the Brights Collection!  LOVE it!!!  All of the patterns are tone-on-tone and include: polka dots, stripes, a text pattern, and a fancier looking motif!  So so so useful!!!

Espresso-Come-to-Bethlehem-Online-Extravaganza
I just love this card that I CASEd for my Winter Stamp-a-Stack Class this past week, but I have NO idea who I got the idea from…sorry!  So so so pretty!!!  It uses a very simple color scheme and the beautiful Core’dinations card stock.  I tell you what, putting it through the Big Shot in an embossing folder, then sanding with our Stampin’ Sanding Block to reveal that lighter core is like magic!  Also, I think I didn’t quite re-ink my Early Espresso Classic Stampin’ Pad enough, so when I stamped it was a bit blotchy.  The Blender Pens are a quick fix when used with the ink you squeeze on the lid.  I’ll make a video showing you what I mean very soon!

Come to Bethlehem is a favorite of mine and at 50% off the price cannot be beat!  The Wood-Mount is normally $19.95, down to $9.98 and the Clear-Mount is normally $14.95, down to $7.48!  WOW!  The Decorative Label is my MOST FAVORITE punch we sell and it’s 30% off too!!!  I also used it to punch out the larger verse from Come to Bethlehem and glued that inside the card.

-Brights Designer Series Paper Stack $21.95 NOW $17.56 & contains papers in ALL of the Brights!!!
