Check back later today for a brand new Quick Tip Tuesday video!

Hey!  I’m headed to Stampin’ Up!’s Leadership Conference in Orlando, Florida today!  I wanted to let you know for a couple of reasons:

1.  This is why I haven’t been so great at posting in the new year.  Yet again, I committed to more swaps than my holiday plans allowed me to begin earlier on, so I’ve been very busy!

2.  Stay tuned, especially if you’re a video fan!  My new videos for 2013 will begin again next Tuesday!

3.  Watch my blog, Facebook Page, and Twitter for updates including pictures of my swaps, featuring lots of all new products from the Spring Catalog!!!

Hi!  I’ll be back with a project to share tomorrow but for today, I wanted to let you know that Stampin’ Up!’s fabulous Spring Catalog is LIVE!  Check it out below!!!  (For easy reference, all of the info and links below are also on my Catalog page so you don’t have to hunt for it in the future.)  I hope you LOVE it as much as I do.  Stay tuned for my top 10 items from it! 🙂

Also, our new Spring Catalog will be live tomorrow, January 3rd, 2013!!!  YAY!  Amazing products in there as well.  Please let me know if you haven’t received your copy in the mail (for customers who aren’t local) or so we can arrange for pick up/drop off for those of you who are local!

As always, contact me if you have any questions.  CLICK HERE to shop in my Online Store – be sure to get those Holiday Catalog products in your cart, as well as Clearance Rack items.  (They’ve added more again!!!)

This fun video was posted from Stampin’ Up! today so I thought I’d go ahead and share it.  Tomorrow will bring an ALL NEW Tool Time Thursday!

Hi there!  I’m sorry I’ve been absent for a couple of days.  I owe you guys a Tool Time Thursday to match my Quick Tip Tuesday I posted last week so that’s why I didn’t post a new QTT.  I have a big craft fair on Friday so I apologize if I don’t get the video up and posted until Saturday!   Please forgive me!  After this weekend, craft fair season is over for a while so I’ll be better!

Until then, please accept a SALE as my apology to you, my fabulous customers!  For local peeps, also check out my Calendar either by clicking it in the navigation bar above or by CLICKING HERE.  My December classes are all within the next week so get them while you can! 🙂

Here are the details, just in case you missed it on Monday:

Order between now and Wednesday, December 12th and get FREE shipping on all Stampin’ Up! orders over $50!  I’ll have to place the order for you so that you don’t pay for shipping, so just email or call me with your order TODAY!   All orders will arrive in time for Christmas if ordered by this date.  I will also be giving 10% off any item in the Holiday Catalog as a final blowout before it is gone on January 2nd!  Email or call me with the following info:

-Your name
-Full shipping info
-Phone number
-Credit or debit card number, expiration date, card type (you can also call me with this info if you don’t want to put it in an email)  *Note:  If the shipping address & phone above doesn’t match this card, please also provide the info that matches this card.
-Only orders over $50 will qualify for free shipping.  Orders do not have to be over $50 to take advantage of the 10% off sale, but you’ll have to pay for shipping!
-*Remember:  For every $50 you spend with me (before shipping & tax), you get to choose a square on my 50/50 board for the chance to win a $50 shopping spree!

Hi there!  Just ONE MORE DAY to the Holiday Extravaganza Sale!  Remember, tomorrow there are 3 items that weren’t on the sale any other day, that you can get at 20% off tomorrow only – Clear Block Bundle (ALL 9 of them!), Clear Block Storage Caddy (LOVE IT!), and the Stack & Store Caddy (for all of those embellishment containers)!  But for today – here’s a fun tip that I’m loving for my clear-mount stamps.

And right below, I’m posting a super cute card that features the FABULOUS Be of Good Cheer DSP that is 20% off until tomorrow!  I bought a couple packages already – my fav Christmas paper we’ve ever had, featuring Gumball Green & Cherry Cobbler!  LOVE IT!  The card was again a CASE of my fabulous friend Desiree Spenst, who again shared that the idea wasn’t hers.  The DSP folded trees are made out of half of the 2-1/2″ Circle Punch – super simple but super cute!  I’ve become obsessed with the glimmer paper lately so I topped one of the trees off in a star punch with the Silver Glimmer Paper!!!  The “snow” is simply a piece of 2″ x 5-1/4″ Very Vanilla card stock torn lengthwise down the middle and then I added some 2-Way Glue Pen before dumping on some Dazzling Diamonds Stampin’ Glitter!  Wowza – I love this card and it SPARKLES!!!

Hope you loved what I had to share today!

Make sure to CLICK HERE to shop the Online Extravaganza (might as well check out the Clearance Rack while you’re there too) in my Online Store before it’s over for another year!

I LOVE this stamp set!  This beautiful card was a Make and Take at an event I attended when I was at Convention several years ago, but I just made it recently!  It is just one of those simple, beautiful, monochromatic cards that would be wonderful in any color combo!!!  This stamp set is even more versatile than you know – I see this sentiment used on Santa cards for the holidays!

I hope you’ll forgive me for my lack of videos this week.  I have craft fairs this weekend and next and am busily working on items for those!  I’ll be posting a project everyday though to atone for my video absence!  Anyway, hope you enjoy!

Hi there!

Just a reminder (or if you aren’t on my mailing list a first glimpse) that tomorrow is the day where you get 15% off ALL stamps you order!!! MONDAY only from 12:00 AM (MT) and ending at 11:50 PM (MT)! (If you’re time zone challenged like me – seriously, I don’t know what’s up with that – it starts at 1 AM Central time and ends at 12:50 AM.)

ALL stamps in the current catalogs including: Background stamps, Personalized name stamps, Cookie press stamps, and Single stamps. Look below (or on my Promotions tab if you want to download the PDFs in their entirety) for images of the single stamps.  Assortment 2 – the blue one – features 3 never before seen stamps!  Keep in mind that these stamps are only available in clear-mount.

This DOES NOT include: Hostess sets, Bundled stamp sets, Digital stamp brush sets.

ALSO, remember that with every $50 order you place (before shipping & tax), you get a spot on my 50/50/50 board for a chance to win a $50 certificate!!! (There is no limit to the number of squares you earn, so if you order $100, you get 2 squares; $150, 3 squares and so on…)

Additionally, you can do this on any order type so feel free to click in my Online Store and put in your own order if you’d like.  (I can also do this for you if you prefer!) You’ll get the hostess rewards if your order is $150 or more! Or I’m happy to put your order in with my own tomorrow evening as well – please get it to me by 10 pm by email at sarah@sarahlovestostamp.com or by phone at 816.341.0208!

I’m trying to reach a personal goal of 40 stamps sold so I want to give you an extra bonus for helping me to reach my goal! For EVERY stamp set (or unit – a single stamp counts as one too), you will get one raffle ticket into my Sell-A-Stamp Spooktacular drawing for a truly fabulous prize!!! (I’m thinking you get to pick your own Designer Series Paper – on me, of course – and I’ll make it into a fabulous crafting package with card stock & ribbon to match, as well as embellishments and some other goodies too!)

YAY! Can’t wait to see which of my favorites you all choose!!! 🙂  I know I’ll FOR SURE have to have that new Bold Snowflake single stamp that matches the Blossom Punch!  LOVE THAT!
