January Jamborre!

Hi there stamping friends!

By now I hope you’ve looked over our new 2015 Occasions Catalog (aka the “Spring” catalog)… did you fall in love with our new stamps, dies, bundles, punches, blendabilities, papers, and accessories?? Did you see the beautiful butterflies dies??  I know, me too. So maybe you’re trying to figure out how you can earn as much as possible for FREE? I love to help my friends, family and customers earn as much free Stampin’ Up! product as possible! So here is an idea that might work for some of you.

Stampin’ Up! is in the DSA (Direct Sales Association), and one of our options for selling our products is via a hostess at a home party. Well, I know that not everyone has a space big enough for friends and family to come over to stamp and play. Although I’ve offered my craft room to be used, some are just not comfortable with asking their friends and family to be “obligated” to buy something. Believe me, I understand that feeling (hi I’m Lynn and I’m addicted to home parties)…. lol  🙂

 

jj2015logo200

Well, I thought of a way to help you EARN the same hostess rewards, but not have to clean your house or invite anyone to your stamping party- are you ready? It’s my new January Jamborre! (pronounced JamBearEEEEE) …. What is the January Jamborre??? (it is not that cute nail wrap craze going around)… Well, for the first 10 people who contact me and say “I’m in for the January Jamborre!” will receive the opportunity to receive hostess rewards on their $100 minimum order. (this offer cannot be combined with the new Blendabilities deal as that is already a very good deal and includes hostess rewards built in to the price).  Normally hostess rewards do not begin until you have a minimum of $150 in orders… but when we combine 10 people who order $100 minimum in products, then the rewards are amazing!! And I can share them with everyone in the group (and no one has to bake brownies or clean the bathroom) 🙂

IMG_3189

What do you get for $100? Well- first you pick out your $100 in Stampin’ Up! products from any catalog (Annual Catalog or Occasions Catalog). Next, you get to pick  2 free Sale-a-bration choices! Then, you add either One Half Off item (first 4 people who request this will get it) OR $20 Hostess Rewards dollars to be used on anything- including exclusive hostess stamp sets found in the back of each catalog! And Last but not Least, each of you will receive a set of three handmade cards featuring all new Occasions Catalog and Sale-a-bration 2015 products as my added thanks!! (made by me!!) I will figure out tax/shipping and handling and give you the total for your order. For the first four people who opt in and want the half price item- it can be used on anything current- like the Big Shot machine, or our entire Marker Collection. (that would be about a $50 value).  *please do not use a hostess code for my January Jamborre offer, I will be manually typing these orders in myself, thanks.

If you don’t have your own catalog yet- no worries- I’ve added the links to our online catalog over on the left toolbar, just click and it should open right away for you. Of course I want to get these two new awesome catalogs in your hands- so let me know if you need them and I’ll get them right out to you!

ALSO- did you know that Prepaid Paper Pumpkin Subscriptions can count and can help you earn free SAB products?? During Sale-A-Bration, you can get a 3-month Paper Pumpkin Prepaid Subscription for just $54.85. Get a discount and instantly qualify for a Sale-A-Bration reward? (contact me for the paper pumpkin 3 month prepaid code, and you will receive an email to redeem this deal once it is paid and the party closes).

My January Jamborre is the perfect option for those of you who love Stampin’ Up!’s products, want to earn hostess rewards and SAB items, but {for whatever reason} can’t have a home party. (and this will certainly help me out on my quest for earning the cruise too, so thanks!!)

If orders exceed the $1000 party threshold we are aiming for, then I will contact you and adjust your hostess rewards up accordingly.

What is the time frame on this offer? Sign up with  me by January 15th, 2015 (or while spots remain available). Then submit your orders and payment to me by January 22nd. (checks must arrive by January 16th to be deposited and cleared for ordering on January 22nd). Your orders will come to me and I will arrange pick up/delivery with you that works out best for both of us. (Orders should arrive by February 1st). *** If people sign up early and/or pay by credit card, I might be able to move this timeline up a bit… it will definitely be here in time for you to make some adorable Valentines treats and cards!

*Now if you love this idea, but just can’t swing it in January- I may repeat this in February and/or March- if there is enough interest. Just contact me and let me know if you might be interested in this Jamborre another month.

If you know anyone who is looking for some new fresh stamping supplies, or may want to stock up on paper, envelopes and adhesives and might want to jump in on this deal- please pass on my info to them! If they order from me (and are a new customer to me who has never ordered before- then you will receive a $10 gift certificate to use on anything you want- product or classes!)

If you have any questions, let me know!

Need someplace to jot down your wish list? Here’s something you can print out and use to keep track- use one side for the Occasions Catalog and the other side for the Annual Catalog (inks, paper, adhesives, dies, supplies).

just click:  Wish List!   (it will open as a PDF one page sheet for you to print out).

Something that jumped out at me right away was this beautiful bouquet kit… what do you think? Would you like to take this as a class?

Thanks so much for stopping by today and reading my blog! I’m going to be copying/pasting this information into a newsletter later this week as well since I know all my customers don’t subscribe to this blog feed and visa versa. Don’t want to miss anyone!

Have a great day! Happy Hump Day!

HSS Color Challenge #198

I am so honored to have been selected as one of three winners in the Hand Stamped Sentiments blog card challenge last week, they even sent me a special badge to put over on  my sidebar- see it?? How cool is that??

Here is the link if you’d like  to check it out (I’ve never won a card design challenge before!):  Hand Stamped Sentiments

 

Their newest challenge is a color combo that I just love!

HSS Challenge Logos-003

 

I had a really hectic week and just got my November club prepped last night, that’s right and club is this morning! Yikes, that’s cutting it very close. I decided to have one of my club cards be this color combo challenge from Hand Stamped Sentiments. What do you think? Why don’t you play along with the challenge? It would be fun to see your interpretation using these three colors.

And here are the supplies I used for this challenge:

 

I am so in love with our entire Project Life line of products. The stamp sets and the card collections can be used in card making, completing albums, decorating, and they look great framed as well.
It sure makes it so quick and easy to get your photos right in albums. The pocket cards are so simple, even children can participate in memory-keeping. I don’t even call it scrapbooking any more… stay tuned I’m going to have another Project Life event coming up this month. Can’t wait to see you, hope you can make it!
Thanks so much for stopping by today to read my blog! I hope you have an awesome weekend. Come back tomorrow and Monday if you want to see the rest of my cards for my club this month.

October Club Projects…

Good morning friends, how are you? I have missed blogging, it has been a very busy week and I was knocked down a couple days with a virus, all I could accomplish was resting on the couch and watched some shows on my DVR…. Cedar Cove, Parenthood, and Big Bang, all caught up. Good thing I was so productive last weekend getting ready for club and my 6th Annual Columbus Day Stamp-a-Stack. Want to see some projects?  Let me know which one is your favorite, I love to hear from YOU!

First up is a card that I cased (copy and share everything) – the minute I saw this punch art turkey, I knew I had to case it. Thanks to Aly S. for the inspiration! Love this card, and the sentiment from “Mingle all the way” fits perfectly, right?? If you’re not in my club, and would like one of these cards, I am taking orders, and can mail them to you (or deliver if local) in plenty of time for Thanksgiving. Also, can do custom Halloween cards too, it’s not too late. $3.50 if mailing or $3 each for local customers. Let me know what you think. thanks.

Next up is a stamp set I have used a few times, but I can’t get enough of the cardinal, so I changed this one up, featured these framelits before I knew they were a “weekly deal”- would you like to save money? Our weekly deals are 25% off original price and good for 7 days only, they launch every Tuesday morning and expire every Monday night at midnight MT.

Card #3 for club members this month is this card, I really wanted to feature the new stars, can you believe I hadn’t made a card with them yet??

Last but not least, yes 4 projects this month, is this cute santa box, case from Pinterest (by Lynn Starzl)- I love all the inspiration from Pinterest, don’t you?

So that’s it for today, whew, that was a lot of typing… I will post my 7 cards from my 6th Annual Columbus Day Stamp a Stack later this week, need to go finish getting ready.

Hope you all are enjoying this beautiful weekend! Thank you so very much for stopping by my blog today! Would love to hear from you!!

  • Ruffle board
  • Paper wood
  • Balsa wood (3/32″)
  • Bass wood (1/16″)

  • Tin (.008)
  • Adhesive and non-adhesive mat board

Some other great things to know about the Big Shot:
Currently, the Big Shot utilizes two types of dies: Steel Rule and Chemically-Etched.

Steel Rule: When you think of steel rule dies, think of cookie cutters–they both work on the same principle. Steel rule dies are made by embedding an elongated razor blade into a hard wood base and then covering that blade with foam for safety. When the die is passed through the Big Shot, the foam is compressed and the blade punches through the material being cut. Because steel rule dies use a blade, you can cut more types of material as well as multiple layers of that material. Additionally, the blades can also be designed with scoring blades to create fold lines in materials.

Chemically Etched: Unlike steel rule dies, chemically etched dies can cut intricate designs. To create these dies, elaborate designs are etched into the metal using chemicals to burn away the unwanted metal. While these dies can create more intricate designs, they cannot cut as many types of materials nor can they cut multiple layers of material.

Another good thing to know is that if you have dies from other companies they will work in the Big Shot! The Big Shot is the most versatile die-cutting machine on the market today. Using the multi-purpose platform, you can use dies, embossing plates, and other products from a wide variety of sources.

Why am I telling you all of this stuff about my favorite of ALL my tools in my craft room (you might be wondering)?? Because I want to help you get the best tool on the market!

Still not convinced that YOU NEED a Big Shot? How’s this great video to show you quick and simply bows!

Or, my personal new favorite addition to our Big Shot lineup: THINLITS!

Ready to order?? Here is the Hostess Code for August: Hostess Code: YA7CNZND in my online store at: http://LynnStreifert.Stampinup.net   *note if your order is over $150.oo- then don’t use the hostess code- as you will be eligible for $25 free hostess shopping dollars good on your order!

Have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by my blog today!

This was my Paper Pumpkin Subscribers Thank You Night of Fun! I used all new 2014-16 In Colors as my base card stock and inks, plus the new Moonlight DSP mini paper pack, for easy peasy card making! Who doesn’t need a bunch of little gift cards?? I think everyone liked the idea- we used ALL my Paper Pumpkin stamps for all the cards, and broke out the new “And Many More” for a nice small “Congratulations” sentiment.

Of course- what kind of party is it without a little snack?? This was totally easy, patriotic, and yummy! A little sponge cake with whipped cream and berries! Since the June Paper Pumpkin kit was the pinwheel kit, I made some up as favors and decorations- did you know that Paper Pumpkin subscribers can order refills of this cute kit?? So fun and easy!

One of the things I love most about stamping get togethers (besides the fun and friendships) is the creativity! Look at these amazing cards the ladies came up with!! My philosophy when I have an event is “Here’s my sample, feel free to copy it or make this YOUR own creation”, I think my customers like this philosophy and it opens up many opportunities for them to make cards that they need and will use.

Awesome Weekend, How was Yours?

Hi Friends!

Did you have a happy 4th of July weekend? Mine was fun-filled and busy! My nephew Ethan informed me that it was time for a sleep-over! I love that kid, and how sentimental he is. I love that they love to spend time with me, and I treasure family time!! Here’s some of the fun we had:

We went for a hike… Unfortunately the trail was full of mud and bugs which didn’t thrill these two).

They helped me with errands, and we got the graduation supplies for my niece Jordan’s party coming up, and needed a sweet treat- have you tried Sweet Frog? Yummo!!

Love the Glenville Sports-Plex right near us, we had the bumper cars to ourselves!

Later Claire helped me create this awesome card holder for Jordan’s party. Stampin’ Up! Cherry Cobbler baker’s twine to the rescue- used a whole package to make this tassle. Hot glued the top on a box that I covered in Basic Black cardstock.

My sister had a delicious BBQ… corn on the cob, burgers, dogs, fruit salad, pasta salad, and yummy treats for dessert.

In addition to brownies and cherry pie- she also made these amazing patriotic red/white/blue strawberries. They were delicious!!

The ribbon came in last week and I was determined to get that all cut, wrapped and bagged up. Tried cutting ribbon in the living room while watching a show on my DVR, but that wasn’t a good set up. Moved to the dining room table, spread out and was able to finish all the ribbon shares yesterday! I sent an email to everyone in the ribbon share- hope to meet up with people this week and get you all your new goodies!  THANKS again to all of you who participated!

 

I also organized my current versus retired stamps in my craft room, and worked on a Project Life album, ordered 200 more photos for the big graduation party!

I’m gearing up for my Paper Pumpkin subscribers party, my NEW clubs, Jordan’s graduation party (and birthday this week too!), and I haven’t even started my convention swaps yet! I have a feeling I’ll be bringing them with me on the plane at this rate.

Well, that’s all for now- I will be placing an order this week, if you need anything let me know!

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today- I wish you all a very Happy Monday!!
