I decided to do a little something with the Flower and Field designer series paper. It features boldly colored images against a black backdrop for a stunning look.

Please make sure you are shopping with me by verifying my name is in the upper left corner of the online store. If the system asks you to select a different demonstrator, please decline. If you have any questions about the ordering process, please click the contact button on my blog. I am in my office all day, every day since it’s just a short walk down the hall:)
Last, let’s gather in Zoom to assemble the kits! It will be fun to meet some new people and paper craft while we are chatting. Let’s meet for Friday Day and Night In on Friday, February 26th, 9-10am or 6:30-7:30pm. I’ll email you the Zoom link closer to the dates.
Good Morning, It appears the online store is letting customers check out without claiming all the rewards earned. Here are some screen shots to help you through the online ordering process. In addition, it’s always best to order on a computer with the largest screen possible so you can scroll up and down to see all the options.
Make sure my name is in the upper left corner so I get credit for your order and can reward you with any promotions I am personally offering. If my name does not appear, click on whatever name is there and go through the steps to find my name.
Next, I have added an item to my shopping cart as indicated by the pink circle with a 1 inside. Notice the gift box is gray which means no rewards have been earned. Look toward the bottom and click the plus sign next to host code.
Enter my current host code ONLY IF YOUR PRODUCT ORDER IS LESS THAN $150 EXCLUDING SHIPPING AND TAX. Remove the code if one is listed if your order will be more than $150 so that you can spend all the host rewards.
My current host code is 9PMQVYRN so I will enter that for now to show you what it looks like.
Click the pink Apply…you are now shopping and contributing to a specific online party. This helps me to earn host rewards which I can pass on to you.
For the purposes of this tutorial, I am going to remove the host code so that host reward claiming can be shown in the screen shots below.
Next, I am going to add more items to my shopping cart. The gift box is now pink indicating I have rewards to claim.
When you reach $150 in sales (excluding shipping and tax), the pink “Claim Rewards” banner will display. This means you have earned host rewards to spend. By clicking on Claim Rewards, you use your host rewards to pay for this item. So click on Claim Rewards. Continue selecting products to view and claiming them for host rewards until the pink Claim Rewards box disappears indicating all host dollars have been spent. DO NOT click on Add to Cart because this will add the items to your cart as products you will purchase with your credit card.
Click the shopping bag in the upper left corner and scroll down to see your chosen products being paid for through the host rewards (which is the pink Claim Rewards button). In my example, I have over claimed the value of rewards I have earned. That’s ok, I will just pay the difference due.
Next, click on the pink gift box and see this banner. If you have less than $150 in sales, then only the Sale-a-bration banner will display. Once you exceed $150 in sales and have not applied a host code, the Stampin’ Rewards banner will display. Clicking on Learn More gives more details about these programs. Close this banner.
Now, go to your shopping cart and see the “You have Sale-a-bration rewards to redeem!” and click on “choose your free product.” Make your selections.
Prior to claiming a Sale-a-bration (SAB) rewards, the shopping bags below the images are a dark black.
Claim all your rewards and the shopping bags turn to a light gray indicating you have claimed all your earned selections.
Now scroll up and click on Check Out and pay for your order.
Thank You for reviewing my online ordering tutorial! I hope it makes your next order easier. Please click the Contact button on my blog if you have questions about the ordering process. Just make sure you scroll up and down during ordering so you don’t miss claiming your Sale-a-bration and host rewards too!

Then be rewarded with free, exclusive products for every $50 or $100 qualifying purchase.
Reach $300 in sales through your own order or asking friends to join you in a Zoom make and take party and earn the Punch Party stamp set for free as well.

Download copies of both of these catalogs by clicking the images on the right side of my blog. If you are customer of mine and have not received your catalogs yet, click the Contact button at the top of my blog and let me know you are still waiting for your snail mail copies. I can check my records to make sure they are on the way.
I love sugar cookies and always compare purchased cookies with my sister’s recipe. My sister recipe always wins! I follow her recipe when I bake my own but they never taste the same. I think it’s because she has a different terroir which is the countryside while I live in the city.
It’s tradition for my Mom and me to bake a batch to decorate for Halloween and then ugly sweater versions for the winter holiday season.
The ugly sweater versions started to make appearances during my January customer appreciation event. This year, I decided to move this event to December and host a zoom make and take social. Make and take packets were mailed out and much to my delight, stampers showed up to the zoom calls! It was such a good experience, I will be continuing this format.
The Sugar Cookie Socials will be held monthly on the 4th Wednesday of the month. Attend either session 9-10am or 6-7pm central time. How do you get an invitation to join the social?Purchase at least $50 (excluding shipping and tax) using the host code listed on the right side of my blog (current code is EUNVSZHN).If your order is over $150, do not use a host code so you can spend all the host rewards yourself.Either method will earn you an invitation to join the social for that month and snail mailed make and take packets from me. Order early in the month so there is time for me to prep your kits and for them to make the journey from my mail box to yours:) The kits will change each month and the designs kept a secret. I’ll ship your kits and email you the zoom call links automatically after your qualifying order is placed.
