Place a $450 (or greater) workshop or individual (can be online) order with me today, and you'll receive a free set of Stampin' Up!'s Brights, Subtles, or Regals ink pads.

Reminder Reminder Reminder

I just can't keep myself from reminding you about the current Stampin' Up! promotion. I don't want ANYONE to miss it. Host a $450 workshop, place a $450 order, or join my Stampin' Up! team as a demonstrator for only $99, and you receive a $49.95 valued ink pad set for free! FOR FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's ridiculous!

Can't afford the $450 order by yourself? Contact some friends and show them the new Stampin' Up! 2012-2013 Idea Book & Catalog, or the holiday mini catalog, and pool your resources!

Worried about joining Stampin' Up! as a demonstrator for the $99? Don't be. You can be any kind of demonstrator you want to be:

Hobby Demonstrators - You enjoy the rewards that Stampin' Up! offers as a demo, but you don't plan to make Stampin' Up your full-time job. You earn extra money at your convenience.

Discount Demonstrator - You like the fact that you can receive a 20% discount (or more) as a demonstrator - and that's all you're in it for.

Seasonal Demonstrator - You work hard to achieve certain goals or raise certain amounts of money during the year, so you can maintain your demo status year-round.

Career Demonstrator - You manage your demonstratorship as your job. You're in it for keeps, and to earn money.

You get a customizable starter kit, where you pick out the inks, ribbons, papers, stamps, and colors you want. Plus, you get a set of 10 ink pads free right now! Can't afford to keep up your quarterly minimums? That's ok. You don't have to remain a demonstrator. Stampin' Up! lets you drop without any charges, hidden fees, or snags. They make joining and remaining their team a breeze, and they make leaving a breeze as well, if you just don't want to keep up with it.

Please think about taking part in this promotion:


Contact me today to discuss how you'd like to take part in this incredible offer!

Happy Stamping!

New Basic Black Ink Pads

Have you tried our new fabulous firm foam ink pads? I absolutely love the new pads for greater and easier coverage on all my favorite Stampin' Up! stamps and the projects I've been using them on! We're talking LOVE!

However, there's been a problem with the new Basic Black Ink Pads and the Ink Refill formula. EEKS! It smears on the Whisper White & Very Vanilla cardstocks we currently stock. Stampin' Up! is working as hard and fast as they can to resolve this issue, but haven't come up with a solution to the problem just yet. For now, continue to enjoy using the Basic Black ink pad (firm foam edition) on all your colored cardstock favorites from Stampin' Up! When you want to use it on the Whisper White or Very Vanilla cardstocks, we're recommending Jet Black StazOn Ink pad we sell instead. The StazOn is an alcohol-based ink, instead of water-based like our Classic Stampin' Pads, so it won't bleed when you want to use blender pens or aqua painters on a stamped image, especially on the white and vanilla colors.

For more info, check out what Stampin' Up! has let us know:

Basic Black Classic Stampin' Pad November 15, 2012
Updated from August 27 posting
In a current update on July 5, we reported that the Basic Black Classic Stampin' Pad (item 126980) ink smears, especially when stamped on Whisper White and Very Vanilla Card Stock. Our supplier has continued to develop several ink formulas, and we have continued to test these formulas, but with no success so far. We know this creates a problem for you and for your customers. In addition to testing ink formulas, we have tested many variations of card stock and want to make sure that we find the right combination of ink and card stock. We want to provide a quality product, so we will continue to work on it. It is our top priority quality concern right now.
In the interim, we suggest that you promote the Jet Black StazOn Ink Pad (item 101406)--it is an excellent alternative. If customers request the Basic Black Classic Stampin' Pad, we encourage you to warn them about the smearing issue with Whisper White and Very Vanilla Card Stock.
Updated: We are continuing to test new formulas and will update you as we near some resolution for the Basic Black ink formula problems.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thanks all! And happy stamping!

For the Technologically Advanced!

This one is out of my league! I'm behind in the technology world, much preferring my simple Tracfone to one of the newer updated models of IPhones or Androids. I have my Kindle Fire and my computer, and it works for me. (Especially since I've always hated phones!)

Anyways, for those technologically advanced IPhone users out there...Stampin' Up has two great new offers. One is even free! Both seem like great new products to try out.

Here's the newest info on the Talking Tag offer that Stampin' Up! has given us:

With Talking Tag, you can send a gift that is uniquely you. Talking Tag is a message label you can attach to cards, invitations, gifts . . . anything! Personalize birthday cards, Christmas gifts or even record quick instructions for a project. Now your pictures really can say a thousand words! How to Buy Talking Tags: Buy 'em by the sheet! You get 10 tags for just $7.95 (item 129723). How to record a voice message: Download the FREE TalkingTagT App on you smartphone from talkingtag.mobi, iTunes® or Google PlayT. Adhere the message tag to your card or gift. Open TalkingTagT App and scan the code. Record your message (recording starts immediately, so make sure you're ready!).

You will have the opportunity to listen, re-record, cancel, or confirm your message after you've completed recording it. Each label allows up to 60 seconds of a greeting, song, or product message.
To play the message, recipients will need to download the app and scan the code. Messages are saved for two years, so they can listen to it over and over.
For How-tos and quick tips, click the picture up top, then the FAQ link at the bottom of the page. :)
Want a YouTube video to show you how to use them? Follow this link:
http://youtu.be/cevSoEk-iKg
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And now for the FREEBIE app information that Stampin' Up! has given us:
It has been hard to keep this a secret-we're so excited about it! We have created a card-making application, and we already have a great name for it: Simply Sent! This iPhone app allows customers to create an e-card-from a template or completely on their own-and send it via e-mail or post it on Facebook. And it's free!
Here's something you should know about this app: it's not My Digital Studio on a mobile device, not even close. This scaled-back version will only give customers a taste of what they can create when they buy MDS. We want to get our name and our art out there so more people than ever before will know about Stampin' Up! We hope you'll get excited about it as well and that you'll do the following:
Download it from iTunes or the App Store, share it with all your friends, and post a review! The more positive reviews it gets, the more prominent place it takes in the iTunes store.
Try it out!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Despite not having an IPhone, I did go ahead and download the app on my ITunes account. I figured it would be good to have NOW rather than later, when I do join the modern world. :) It downloaded quickly with no problems...so go get your free copy today!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Want to get ready on your Christmas cards to mail out THIS year? Give me a call or email, and we'll get together and work something out soon. Either attend one of my classes and make your own, or buy from my ready-made card selection.

Happy Stamping!

Whew! So Many Updates!

Whew! There's just so many Stampin' Up! updates to give you on deals and products being offered now or in the near future! I've NEVER seen so many things to update you on. And that's not to mention the personal projects I've been making for you with Stampin' Up! products, that I just can't wait to share and put online. I'll give it a whirl to start catching you up with this blog posting.

First off, I wanted to give you the notice about this exclusive offer from Stampin' Up!. They're only offering 4,000 right now to be sold - and have already gone through the first 1,500 - so order yours now! They might be on offer again in the future, depending on how well these sell out:


It's the Sizzix Texture Embossing Boutique Machine - with it's very own exclusive Stampin' Up! bundle twist! Here's the writeup Stampin' Up! gave us on this new offer:

Due to our partnership with Sizzix, we are pleased to be able to offer a test run of the Texture Boutique Embossing Machine in our North American markets. We have 4,000 available to be sold only while supplies last. If this product test goes well, we may offer the Texture Boutique again in the future. The Texture Boutique works with Textured Impressions Embossing Folders to transform ordinary cardstock, paper, metallic foil, or vellum into an embossed, textured masterpiece. This machine embosses only; it does not die cut. Because this is a product test, the Texture Boutique is not branded with the Stampin' Up! logo. It comes in Sizzix packaging and is the same color and design that is sold in stores. We recommend you read the included instructions before using the Texture Boutique and that you pass the same recommendation on to customers who purchase it.

'Tis the season of giving, and the Texture Boutique makes a wonderful gift for anyone who wants to create their own elegant embossed art. To help you with your gift-giving needs, we're offering a special value bundle that saves you $5.90. If you prefer, you can also purchase the Texture Boutique alone. Looking for stocking stuffers? Pick up some additional embossing folders.

Single Stamp Release

A few weeks ago, Stampin' Up! had some neat news about offering up some single stamps from larger stamp sets for sale. They had good success, so they decided to offer up some more just a few days ago. Here's their release about the offer. It sums it up much more succinctly than I ever could!
~~~~~
A few weeks ago we announced that until January 2, 2013, you and your customers have the opportunity to purchase single stamps from the Word Play, Perfectly Penned, and Seasonal Sayings Stamp Sets. Based on the interest we have seen so far, it appears that both demonstrators and customers love them! And now we are excited to let you know that we have added ten more individual images-including three images that you have never seen before!
Details

• These stamps are available on any order type-customer, demonstrator, workshop, or online.
• You can find the stamp item numbers on the flyers.
• We will not promote this offer on the Customer site until November 1, so it's up to you to spread the word. However, the single stamps can be ordered in the online store.
• These won't be sent to you in our typical cases or packaging; they'll be packaged in cello bags. If you'd like a case for your stamp, you can buy our Clear-Mount Stamp Cases that come in packs of four (item 119105).
• This offer is available for clear-mount stamps only.
• The stamps won't come with a Clear-Mount Block, and you'll need to buy a block separately if you don't already have one. The recommended block sizes can be found on the flyers.
• There's no limit on how many pieces you can buy.
• Remember that this is a pilot program, so take advantage of it while you can!

~~~~

Ok, so it had a little information for me, as a demonstrator in there, but I didn't want to forget to include any detail about the new offering to my customers. If you want to see which stamps are available for single purchase, take a look at each of these PDF fliers (first two are the newest offerings). I'll feature one pdf each in some upcoming blogs.

Card Buffets

Well, well, well....October kept me busy with card buffet classes. I'm looking forward to a successful and busy November full of them as well! And maybe a little turkey and family time in there too...

Here's a design I used on one of the buffets in October:


Unfortunately, this card uses a retired stamp set, Holiday Happiness. I earned it during Sale-A-Bration in 2011. Can you believe that Sale-A-Bration 2013 is almost here? I can't! January...it's just right around the corner!

Other items that I used on this card, that are NOT retired are:
Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder (#117335; p189 of the 2012-2013 Idea Book & Catalog
Stampin' Dimensionals (#104430; p177)
Many Marvelous Markers (#119806; p157)
Old Olive 8 1/2x11" cardstock (#100702; p153)
Whisper White 8 1/2x11" cardstock (#100730; p156)

New Stampin' Trimmer

Stampin' Up! has revealed it's new Stampin' Trimmer!

Ok, so you have a trimmer already. Here are the reasons and the specs on OUR trimmer, which clearly show why you should get a Stampin' Trimmer today!

Features of the All-New Stampin' Trimmer

• An extra-wide 6-1/4" cutting base and an extended 14-1/2" ruler
  • The extra-wide cutting base provides a large work area and is marked in 1/4" (4 mm) increments, allowing for small measurements.
  • The right-side grid helps you measure and cut very thin strips.
  • The extended cutting arm has a stabilizing leg to provide a sturdy and steady cutting surface for longer cuts.
  • When fully extended, the extended cutting arm sits flush with the trimmer base, providing more accurate and consistent measurements across the entire surface.
  • The cutting base and track include a full ruler, incorporating measurements down to 1/16" and grid lines that mark each quarter inch.
  • All rulers and measurements on the base are printed under a plastic cover so your measurements won't wear off.
  • The base has nonskid feet, which keeps the Stampin' Trimmer securely in place on your work area.
• A full 12" cutting and scoring track
  • The extra-long cutting track has space at the top and bottom so you don't have to take the cutting and scoring blades out when you're not using them.
  • The track gives you enough space to cut or score a full 12" (30.5 cm) without having to remove or switch out handles.
  • The cutting track locks in place for secure storage or transport.
  • The track includes an insertion point for cutting and scoring blade handles so you can easily insert handles into the cutting track.
• Specially designed handles and cutting track to ensure straight cuts
  • The hook on the scoring and cutting blade handles keeps the handles stable so the cuts are as straight as possible.
  • Handles come in two colors: dark for cutting, light for scoring.
  • The precision tip on the cutting blade allows you to pinpoint precisely where you're cutting.
  • The point on the side of each handle shows you where the blade will cut, making it easy to see exactly where your cuts and scores will begin.
• Storage compartment under base
  • The storage compartment holds scoring and cutting tools such as a Bone Folder, Simply Scored Stylus, extra scoring and cutting blades, and even business cards.
  • Separate compartments within the storage compartment keep your tools organized, and the clear cover makes it easy to see what you've stored.
• Product details: item 126889; $29.95

November Promotion

Stampin' Up! is offering a fabulous November-December 16, 2012 promotion. If you are a host/hostess of a $450 workshop or more, you receive a FREE set of the Brights, Subtles, or Regals ink pads! That's a value of $49.95 value for FREE! And that's not to mention,...you still receive your normal hostess benefits ($65 in hostess dollars, as well as 1 item 50% off at a $450 workshop). And these are our new fabulous firm foam ink pads - which offer great coverage and that I've absolutely fallen in love with. No more extreme tapping to cover a solid stamp image every time...ink up the stamp to start with, and then only 1 or 2 "taps" are needed to re-ink the stamp again. This cuts down on time needed to stamp multiple cards or projects.

This promotion also applies to any $450 online order...so head on to my shop at mistykulik.stampinup.net NOW!

Have you been thinking about joining the Stampin' Up! team for all it's wonderful benefits (discount, access to new items before customers, wonderful ideas, etc.)? Now's a great time, because not only can you create your own personalized starter kit for $99, you also get a free set of the same ink pads just for joining! That's an extra $49.95 worth of ink pads to get you started. Can't afford more than the initial join-up fee of $99? That's ok...Stampin' Up! does not charge you if you decide to drop. Join for the products! Ask me how to sign up, today!

Corrected Class Dates - October & November 2012

Whoops! Looks like I posted a few wrong dates on my previous newsletter for November. Those dates previously scheduled for November 24th (or I think I even put October 24th!), have been changed, as I won't be available the weekend after Thanksgiving. I wanted to send out an updated list for everyone to have the newest info. Along with this updated list, check out the picture above. This is the Christmas Album you will receive, along with 1 layout you can expect to make if you attend either of the scrapbook album classes in October or November.
