Sale-A-Bration 2018 Blog Hop is live!

January 3, 2018January 8, 201844 Comments

Welcome to 2018 and my first blog hop for the year! We have lots of creativity to share with you featuring Sale-A-Bration 2018 products. Let’s get started!

My entry features the stamp set Lots of Lavender which has dreamy, watercolor looking 2 step stamps. I stamped the entire lavender bunch in garden green. Then used the watercolor stamps to add rich razzleberry ink to the buds and pear pizzaz ink to the foliage and wrap. It is a 2 step process that makes adding splashes of color easy and quick creating a fabulous focal point. My kind of stamping!

The lavender buds were too flat looking directly stamped on the whisper white. So I stamped the bunches on our thick whisper white cardstock. Then fussy cut the bunches to pop it up using our dimensionals. Now the bunches are similar in height with the bow and adds just the right balance.

I liked the script on the Happy Wishes Sale-a-bration set. I decided it looked best along the side. Positioning the verse along the side might be a first for me since I like designs that are symmetrical.

I also used the Sweet Soiree Memories and More card pack under the vellum layer. Memories and More are intended for pocket scrapbooking. The packs are also good for card layers, traditional scrapbooking and making small 3-D items. There are assorted designs so offer lots of options to create unique projects. The Sweet Soiree card pack is a Sale-a-bration item.

Check back tomorrow for full details on all the supplies used to create this card.

I am coordinating a Sale-A-Bration 2018 Blog Hop. Check back on January 3rd for some great projects to inspire you.

Today I am testing the links.

So our link testing is done but thought I would share what Sale-A-Bration is all about so you can save your holiday gift cash. During Sale-A-Bration, you earn exclusive free products with every qualifying purchase, qualifying host level or joining my Super Awesome Stampers demonstrator team during Sale-A-Bration.

Sale-A-Bration starts on January 3, 2018 and for every $50 you spend, you’ll receive a free Sale-A-Bration product. For anyone who has enjoyed Sale-A-Bration in the past, we have an exciting new announcement for this year. We now have a new reward level as defined below:

Spend $50 and receive one free level 1 product.
Spend $100 and receive one free level 2 product OR choose two level 1 items.
Spend $150 and have the option to choose three level 1 items or one level 1 item and one level 2 item.

When you host a qualifying party (online or in-person) with at least $250 in sales during Sale-A-Bration, you’ll earn $25 more in Stampin’ Rewards! These rewards can even be applied towards a Starter Kit, allowing you to also join and become demonstrators.

In addition to hosting, new demonstrators enjoy a fantastic benefit of joining as a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator during Sale-A-Bration. The choice of TWO additional stamp sets included in their $99 starter kit—any stamp set, any price. (Excludes bundles and Sale-A-Bration sets.) You get to pick up to $125 of products in your kit but still only pay $99 plus tax. The kit ships for free which save you $12.50!

If you have purchased from me recently should be receiving your Sale-a-bration and spring Occasions catalogs towards the end of December. Get your post it tabs out, there are a lot of new designs I will be adding to my stash. I am sure you will find some goodies too.

Check back on January 3rd when the blog hop goes live. We have lots of stops planned for you!

Sale-a-bration Refresher with new free products added!

March 21, 2017March 21, 2017Leave a comment

Sale-a-bration is a much anticipated time of the year when customers, hosts and demonstrators are rewarded with free exclusive products for purchasing, hosting parties online or in person and signing up to enjoy the demonstrator discount!

Stampin’ Up! just added more items that can be earned from the annual and Spring Occasions catalog! Please note that the item numbers listed on the flyer are the item numbers that need to be used in order for the price to register as zero dollars during the check out process.

If you would like your own host code so you can invite your friends to order online for your party, please ask! You start earning host rewards at $150 in sales. You can also place an order for yourself (you deserve a stamping treat!) and earn all the host rewards too.

If your shopping list is larger than $99, you might consider joining my Super Awesome Stampers team by the end of March which is the end of Sale-a-bration. If you join during Sale-a-bration, you get to pick 2 additional stamp sets to add to your starter kit! Plus you enjoy free shipping on the entire package! Please ask if you have questions about what it means to be a demonstrator. I welcome ordering just for myself demonstrators and business builders too.

If you would just like to place an order and it is under $150, you can use host code JCX9Z4E7 during the online ordering process. Please do not use the code if your order is over $150 because you get to keep all the host rewards for yourself!

Click on this link to go shopping at my online store.

Click on Join the Fun through this link for the demonstrator opportunity FAQ and sign up.

Please let me know how I can help you stamp with me! Thanks!
