Please claim all your shopper rewards!

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!

January to June 2021 and Sale-a-bration starts today! Yay!

It’s an exciting day in the paper crafting community…the spring catalog and the highly anticipated free product with purchase promotion both start today! The spring catalog (aka January to June 2021 catalog) is jammed packed with lots of samples showing how to use all brand new products. So prepare for a shopping list that is long! 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. This set coordinates with punches you may already have in addition to the brand new double Oval Punch. The Oval Punch will be featured in my May Suite of the Month program. It’s sure to become a fast favorite since punches are so easy to use!

Now if your shopping list exceeds your budget, you might consider stretching your dollars by joining my Super Awesome Stampers Team during Sale-a-bration. Stampin’ Up! rewards you with an extra 5 paper packs in your welcome kit, a $63 value, on top of the kit being nicely priced at $99 with tax and no shipping charge. In addition, you pick out $125 of products and still pay only $99 plus tax! I can offer support either you are just signing up to enjoy the demo discount, want to share with a few friends or want to use your business to pay for your paper crafting habit. Stampin’ Up! ships via UPS so door delivery is a nice perk too. Click here for details on how to sign up.

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.

Happy Shoppin’, Hostin’ and Joinin’!

Sugar Cookie Socials Continue in 2021

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.

Introducing Suite of the Month!

The January to June 2021 catalog and Sale-a-bration 2021 brochure should be arriving in your snail mail box soon. It’s filled with lots of super awesome paper crafting products that you can use in the comfort of your stamp space. Hide in the space all you want to, once you load up on the new goodies!

I have designated 5 product Suites that will end up on my shelves because of their unique punches, cute snail mail images, splashes of purple or because ice cream is the theme. Yes, ice cream has it’s own suite!!! Coming from a former Dairy Queen employee, a cherry dipped curly top is still my favorite DQ treat!

One product suite per month will be highlighted starting in January. I hope these suites are on your shopping list because you will earn a free make and take kit when you purchase the designated suites. Then meet me in Zoom to assemble the kits while I demonstrate where all the pieces go. If you miss the Zoom social, a Youtube link will be sent to you so you can assemble the kits at your leisure.

In addition, I am collaborating with other demonstrators across the globe that will be sharing 2 projects each using the same product suite. So you will get a bundle of ideas to use with the rest of your product suite by watching these videos. Super Sweet!

Please order early in the month if you want to participate in the Zoom socials since the socials will be held on the third Wednesday of the month, 9-10am and 6-7pm, central time. I will need some time to prep your kit and mail it to you. When I see an order come through with the designated Suite of the Month, I’ll ship your make and take kit to you automatically for that month.

You are welcome to order any and all of the suites on the same order as well so you can earn and spend all the host rewards. Reach $300 in sales (excluding shipping and tax) and earn the host only stamp set, Punch Party. If your order stays under $150 (excluding shipping and tax), please use the host code EUNVSZHN when ordering.

Here are the Suites being featured each month with links to my online store and using host code EUNVSZHN. All page numbers refer to the January-June 2021 catalog.

January – Snail Mail Suite, pages, 54-55, featuring those cute snails I mentioned!

February – Ice Cream Corner Suite, pages 48-49, a bright and warm color palette and ice cream cone punch!

March – Hydrangea Hill Suite, pages 18-19, 2 shades of purple pearls and purple acetate sheets!

April – Dandy Garden Suite, pages 24-27, a dragonfly punch in 2 sizes! Build your own suite to reach a minimum of $50 in orders (excluding shipping and tax). I will be using the Dragonfly Garden Bundle (stamp set and punch) for the make and takes. So you might consider purchasing this bundle so you can create along with me.

May – Oval Occasions, page 65, 2 sizes of ovals in one punch! Build your own suite to reach a minimum of $50 in orders (excluding shipping and tax).

If you are not interested in these suites, I’ll still reward you with a different set of make and take kits with a qualifying order through the Social Cookie Social program. Click here for details on the Sugar Cookie Social program.
