Monday, Funday

Well, darn!  I was really hoping to have the capability to add pictures today, but have not heard anything back from the server/admin on my problem.  I put in another request for help today, so hopefully it'll be fixed soon!

There are some REALLY cute stamp sets and other Valentine products that are only available through 1/27/14.  Since I can't add pictures here, follow this link to see them all:  http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ItemList.aspx?categoryid=1712

Make sure you place an order soon, before they are gone!

Happy 2014

Happy New Year!  Here's to hoping everyone experiences a new year full of love, happiness, and peace!

Just to let you know of one of Stampin' Up!'s ongoing promotions right now - take a peek at the sale going on in our current Clearance Rack - items up to 80% off their original cost!  I don't know about you, but the holidays hit me hard, so any savings I can get, I take advantage of.

(Stampin' Up!'s blog site isn't letting me upload any pictures or links today - they must be on vacation!  So bear with me on the ugly post.)

To see the items on the Clearance Rack, head to my official Stampin' Up! blog at mistykulik.stampinup.net.  Click the "Products" > "Shop Now" buttons, and it will take you directly to the online store via my website.  (This gets you a discount for having "chosen" a demonstrator, rather than ordering directly from stampinup.net.)  Just click the large "Clearance Rack Blitz" banner at the top of the page that comes up.

Hope you all had a very, Merry Christmas, and have an even better New Year!  Please check back in the upcoming weeks for more blog postings on some great Stampin' Up! promotions.  Once I follow through with my New Years' Resolutions, I should be getting lots of new blog postings and pretty eye candy for you to look at!

Happy Stamping!

Pick a Free Project Kit - New Recruits

Ever considered joining up with Stampin' Up!, even if it's just for a great new offer?  Well, through August 31, 2013, Stampin' Up! is offering a doozy for all it's new recruits.  Join by 8/31/13, and you will get to choose 1 kit from 4 different project kits to add on to your regular starter kit ($99.00) for NO extra charge!  That's a kit full of product worth up to $29.90 for free!

See the details:
Kit Options:
The first three project kits are from the holiday catalog and the last option is from the annual catalog.

Option	Kit Description	Item	Total Value
1	Build a Banner Simply Created Kit AND Halloween Banner Simply Created Accessory Kit	133507 132698	$29.90
2	Build a Banner Simply Created Kit AND Christmas Banner Simply Created Accessory Kit	133507 132697	$29.90
3	Thankful Tablescape Simply Created Kit	133463	$19.95
4	Tag a Bag Bundle AND Tag a Box Bundle	131371 131372	$22.45

Not sure what it would take to be a Demonstrator?  It's actually MUCH easier than you think, and there's no cancellation fees or hassle if you decide you don't want to quit.  For the join fee of $99, you actually get over $190 worth of product.  Add the $29.90 of one of the most expensive kits you receive for free by joining this month, and that's $219.90 worth of product for joining - for only the starter kit price of $99.00.  That's awesome!  And even if you decide staying a demonstrator isn't for you - you can still remain a Demonstrator for 3 months with no restrictions, and then another 3 months at a pending status.  (Still no extra fees imposed on you.)  During those 6 months, you still get all the great access to the Demonstrator website, with all of it's ideas, help, promotions, etc., as well as access to Stampin' Up!'s EXCLUSIVE demonstrator-only social website - which is chock-full of pictures, videos, and forums to discuss anything Stampin' Up! with fellow demonstrators.  After 6 months access to all that - I can't see you WANTING to drop or cancel your demonstratorship, but again, there's absolutely no fees against you if you decide to go through with it.  :) 

Here's a little something I wrote several blog entries back about deciding what type of demo you might like 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.

I hope you'll give the thought of being a new demonstrator a thought!  Please contact me for more information, or to join, today!

Thanks and Happy Stamping!

New Color Markers

You might have had the new 2013-2014 Idea Book & Catalog (IBC) in your hot little hands for a little over 2 months now, and noticed that Stampin' Up! did a little bit of color renovating for this year.  Several new colors added to the catalog were previous In Colors, with a couple BRAND NEW colors thrown in too.  Now I bet if you're anything like me, you want to update your Many Marvelous Markers kit to include all the new colors.  Stampin' Up! is giving us some options on how to do that before 10/31/13. 

You can, of course, purchase the whole kit and caboodle of the Many Marvelous Markers (all 38 colors in the main color collections) again.  (p.163 - #131264 - $109.95)  Or, you can purchase them by color collection families (p.143-149 - #131259, 131261, 131263, 131262 - $28.95 each - except neutrals for 22.95).  These are good options if you don't yet own the markers, or you're just getting started into the marvelous world that is Stampin' Up!.  Both of these options are going to be available the entire length of the current catalog (until May 31, 2014). 

Stampin' Up! is doing something great for us through the 10/31/13 deadline though.  Purchase either a complete set of JUST the newly added markers this year, or, buy the markers you want individually - say, if you already have all the previous in color markers.

Here are the item numbers, prices, and descriptions.  Contact me to order today.

ITEM	PRICE	DESCRIPTION

My Paper Pumpkin Promotion

My Paper Pumpkin is a new product offer from Stampin' Up!.  It's awesome in the fact that you get everything you need to make cards or other special projects, mailed directly to your door, for $19.95/month (including shipping).  When you first join Paper Pumpkin, you receive a clear block stamp base for free, that you need to keep for use in the upcoming months.  Then, just have your favorite adhesives on hand, and you will have everything you need to make that month's project.  No surfing of the catalog needed.  Just one complete project kit a month.  Great for those crafty people that are limited on time, can't make it out of the house to attend a class, or want instructions to follow each month.

So far, each of the kits I've received since Paper Pumpkin started, comes with a new stamp or stamps, and small ink spot in different colors to use on that month's project.  They've mailed cards, the makings for a small scrapbook, and even the pieces for a mini banner.  Everything is of Stampin' Up!'s highest quality, and is super-cute to boot.

What's even better about Paper Pumpkin right now?  Join by August 31, 2013, and you can get your first two months for only $10.00 plus tax (shipping is already included in the price).  That's almost a 50% savings for the 1st two months!  Can I say that's just AWESOME!!  (Don't forget you'll need to use promocode: PUMPKINDEAL to get that special price.)

Here are some details that Stampin' Up! would like you to know about Paper Pumpkin:

• Each month we send you a unique, surprise kit with a project-cards, journals, décor, and more! (We've even color-coordinated, measured, and cut everything for you!)
• Each kit includes stamps, ink, paper, and accessories-everything but adhesive.
• Each kit gives you and your customer a 30-minute creativity escape.
• We will ship your Paper Pumpkin on or around the 15th of the month.
• You need to sign up for a kit by the 10th of the month to get that month's kit. If you sign up on the 11th of the month, your first kit will come the next month. (Let's say you sign up on May 10, we'll send your kit around May 15. If you sign up on May 11, we'll send your first kit around the June 15.)
• A Paper Pumpkin membership is $19.95 per month (and shipping is included!) The commissionable amount is $14.95 for each Paper Pumpkin.  There's no commitment, you can cancel your monthly Paper Pumpkin at anytime. You can also skip a month if you want.
