You need to see my Stampin' Up! Christmas wish list

Do you secretly wish that your friends and family would "surprise" you with some fabulous stamping, scrapbooking and paper crafting products under your Christmas tree this year?

I have the perfect idea for you this year. I have developed a Christmas Wish List that will allow you to point out some specific items that you would love to unwrap on Christmas Day.

  

Here's how my Christmas Wish List works:

1. Download the Wish List document (see link below) and fill it with the items you wish to receive.
   
   
2. Return your wish list to me by email (terri@nutzaboutstamping.com)
   
   
3. At the bottom of the list you will see that I have asked for the names and email addresses of those people you wish me to contact with your Wish List. I will contact the people on your list and share your wishes with them.
   
   
4. If all goes well you will find some fun stamping, scrapbooking and paper crafting goodies under your Christmas tree!
   
   
5. And for those gift givers who are undecided, I also offer gift certificates for any amount.

 

Contact me at terri@nutzaboutstamping.com if you have questions. Let the surprises begin!

 

You need to see these snapshots from a rocking event: part two

A couple of days ago I shared a post about Stampin' Up!s On Stage event which happens twice a year on many locations in the world. This year's On Stage was a very special event because Stampin' Up! is celebrating 30 years in the business! What started as two sisters selling products out of their garage has turned into a multi-country business and now run by an amazing mother-daughter team.

These two crack me up! (daughter Sara on the left, mother Shelli on the right) 

In my part one post I shared that one of my favorite things about Stampin' Up events is the make-n-takes.

My second fave is learning about new products and what Stampin' Up! has created using them. Here are some sneak peeks from the upcoming Occasions catalog (January) and Sale-a-bration catalog (our biggest promotion of the year)!

When at On Stage events, Stampin' Up! sets up a HUGE area with display boards to introduce the new product suites and products that are going to be released in the next catalog. There are tons of crowds around these boards morning, noon and night - it is difficult to squeeze a shot in without including a head or someone posing beside these boards. 

I bet you want a sneak peek! (please know that the lighting at these events is not great, so no judgement please!)

I love these new products - which one(s) is/are our favorites? Add a comment below to let me know which one(s) you think I should put on my first demonstrator order next month!

Introducing Needlepoint Nook:

Classic Garage: (even if you don't care for classic cars, the paper will be amazing for masculine cards!)

How Sweet It Is:

Floral Romance:

All My Love:

There were two additional display boards featuring all the new Occasions Catalog bundles - these are bundled not only for coordinating but to help you save money too:

Bundles Board 1:

Bundles Board 2:

Sale-a-bration - our biggest promotion of the year begins in January as well. You can earn these products for FREE!

 

There were a few more display boards but I think it is fun to keep a few things hidden away for now. Check out in the coming weeks for some final sneak peeks!

Don't forget to share your favorites in a comment under this post! Your loves will help me with my first purchase so I can then share sample ideas with you.

You need to see these snapshots from a rocking event: part one

This is a very special weekend for Stampin' Up! We are celebrating 30 years as a company at On Stage events all over the world:

• Utrecht
• Auckland
• Berlin
• Brisbane
• Paris
• Melbourne
• Birhmingham

and the ultimate and largest On Stage event is in Orlando Florida!

Demonstrators from all over the world meet up to see the upcoming Occasions and Sale-a-bration catalogs, create make-n-take using new products from these catalogs, learn new techniques, gain business ideas and (the best part) make TONS of new friends. There is so much excitement, chatter, laughter and a bit of dancing thrown in.

When you check in at the registration desk you are given an amazing bag with new products inside - products you will use for the make-n-takes. Each year I love to see the design of the bag AND the free goodies. This year Stampin' Up! went all out!

And did I mention the Prize Patrols? One of my team members is over the moon with her prize:

 

And of course there are giveaways for everyone who attends!

I have two personal faves at On Stage. The first is about the make-n-takes, where we get to craft using some of the new products that are coming soon. Which one below is your fave? Tell me in the comments box below - your feedback will help me plan my pre-order for next month!

These ideas get me really fired up and excited about other ideas too - as we craft around the table with other demonstrators we share other ideas to try using these new products.

Which makes me wonder: why haven't you joined my team yet? This is the perfect time to do so - two new catalogs coming, our biggest sales event of the year, amazing demonstrators to meet and craft with AND our new catalog pre-order next month! Learn more here!

Come on back to my blog this week as I will share photos of the new catalogs coming in January along with some photos of the products inside! And I will also share my second fave experiences at On Stage events!

 

 

 

 

 

You need to know which holiday catalog items are no longer available

Sales for the following products have exceeded our forecast and are continuing strong, resulting in a large number of backorders. Because backorders are so costly, Stampin' Up! has made the decision to shut these items off effective immediately. Since these products cannot be sent from the manufacturer in time for the holidays, these item numbers will not be reactivated.

There are three products no longer available: 

147816: Joyous Noel Specialty Designer Series Paper

 

147890: Festive Farmhouse Elements

147811: Santa’s Workshop Enamel Elements

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.

SO.....

In order to provide you with another holiday-themed option, we’ve decided to make our promotional Dashing Along Designer Series Paper (item 149903) available for sale at $11.00 USD.

This beautiful, 12" x 12" traditional Christmas paper has a festive, eclectic feel and is perfect for layering. Coordinating colors are Cherry Cobbler, Garden Green, and Whisper White.

Click here to order the Dashing Along paper! 

 

And don't forget that the Snowflake Showcase is available this month only:

What to do when you have a long wish list

Do you have a wish list as long as your arm? Me too!

Here's what I do:

1. Prioritize.
   Am I running low on my favorite colors?
   Are there occasions coming soon that I need to craft for: Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc?
   
   
2. Select.
   Thinking ahead I reorganize my wish list according to my priorities and then select what I will order first. 
   
   
3. Check with my friends. 
   Sometimes combining orders can earn me extra free goodies - with hostess awards we can share free packs of card stock, accessories and so on. 
   
   
4. Another consideration.
   Join my team and choose those products at the top of you list for your Starter Kit - only $99! Learn more here. 

If you have not placed an order with me yet, here's how you do it: 

1.  Order online directly through Stampin Up choosing me, Terri Walker, as your demonstrator. My online store is open 24 hours / 7 days a week so you can shop when it is convenient for you! 

2. How to place an order:

• Click the page photo above to access my online store. Or click here! 
• Once there, either create an account OR sign in.
• Enter your choices by order number or searching by product name. As it comes up, click add to shopping bag. You can also add more than one of each item by changing that option. 
• Finalize payment online using a credit card (Visa, MC or Discover). Note: check your mailing address to ensure it is correct!
• After completing the order online, check your email. Stampin' Up! sends you an order confirmation by email!
• During the ordering process, if you select “No Contact”, I will still get credit  for your order, but I won't know who the order was from. This means I have no way of thanking you for the order.

3. The Result:

• Within 24 to 48 hours Stampin Up will send you email shipment confirmation that contains a tracking # for your order.
• All orders are shipped via UPS
• Your order will be shipped directly to your home.

2018 HOLIDAY CATALOG

Don't just take my word about how awesome this new catalog is - here's a fun video created by Stampin' Up!:

Now is a great time to join Stampin up

Now is a great time to become a Stampin' Up! demonstrator!

1. Add to your crafting knowledge. You will get tons of ideas for handmade cards, scrapbook pages, and home decor projects, from the monthly Stampin' Success magazine, demonstrator-only art gallery, and traveling to Stampin' Up! events. You will learn new artistic stamping tip, tricks and techniques and be the first to play with new product lines!

2. Be your own boss and work hours that make sense for you and your family. You can choose how many (or how few) hours you want to work each week and change these hours according to your family's needs. You can also take advantage of many tax deductions while you add income to help with your family budget every month.

3. Make new friends - more than you could ever dream of having! I have said over and over that I have never met a stamper I don't instantly have a connection with and my business has brought me so many friends I feel very blessed.

4. You can choose Holiday Catalog products in your Starter Kit. You choose $125 worth of products from our catalogs for only $99 and that includes your shipping costs! And you get a box to catalogs to give to your friends (at no extra cost). Once you join my team you are under no obligation to sell products to others - that is completely up to you. Read about my promise to you here. 

5. Travel the world. Stampin' Up! has events all over the globe and you are welcome to attend them as a demonstrator. I have seen so many cool places and met so many cool new friends that I stay in touch with simply because I wanted to share with others my love (addiction?) of paper crafting.

 

As an added bonus, first-time demonstrators can get two free months of Demonstrator Business Web Services (DBWS) when they sign up during their first 21 days as a demonstrator. Subscribing to DBWS means having your own online store, blog, hostess portal, and much more!

Have questions? Please email me to ask: terri@nutzaboutstamping.com. I am a no pressure demonstrator who is always here to help you out with any questions you have!
