It has been a bit quiet on here but there has been so much going on, both with Stampin’ Up! © and in our own lives. However, a team update is well overdue.
My team have positively excelled themselves with 3 ladies who only joined in this year achieving Bronze Elite status. They will each have had a lovely product credit gift from Stampin’ Up! © but more importantly to them their crafting hobby just got cheaper. They now receive an additional 5% discount on top of the 20% they get once they become a demonstrator. They didn’t join because they wanted to make money, they joined because the love the products. Once we all join, most of us because we love the products and some because they don’t want to pay full price ever again for the products. We all stay for different reasons.
We are a team of 6, I was introduced by my lovely friend Kylie who has a much bigger team. My team are invited to join in with everything that Kylie does with her team. Just imagine the friendships that have grown from this. We meet face to face, online with Zoom and chat and call each other about all kinds of things. We craft together, chat together and most importantly, laugh together.
On the subject of team building I was delighted and pleasantly surprised to achieve a position of number 16 in the UK for Team Building. It was a surprise as much as anything because we just gather together and have fun crafting and chatting.
One of the Stampin’ Up! © principles is to “Share what we love”. I do this by having a few people around my kitchen table and playing with my toys (my Stampin’ Up! © goodies).I like to do things that everyone can make successfully so that they feel a sense of achievement. I have done lots of classes where I go home with UFOs (unfinished objects) that become SUFOs (still unfinished objects!). I like everyone to be proudly waving their cards or whatever they’ve made as they leave.
In the Stampin’ Up! © world there have been lots of things going on. There was an amazing offer for people who wanted to join – I think we might see another one in the new year. There was a sale that had discounts off papers, inks and card stock. A great opportunity to stock up on basics.
This week the Last Chance List is available with some items from the July – December Mini catalogue discounted. Items from that catalogue are available until 3rd January 2024. Link below.
The new Mini January – April catalogue for 2024 will be available to view online from 4th December and to shop from on 4th January. If I have your postal address I will be posting one out to you as soon as I receive them. If you would like one leave your details and I will get one to you.
In addition to the new mini catalogue there is a Sale-a-bration brochure. It is full of things that you cannot buy. They are all free with with purchases over £45. You get 1 SAB reward for every £45 you spend. I will pop one of those with your mini catalogue. The purchases can be from the mini or main catalogue or from the kits and online exclusives. I have to say I’ve had chance to get hold of a sample of the products early, there are some gorgeous papers. I love the papers, you can make really attractive cards using those and card stock. I found a stamp set with lots of versatile sentiments, so I am all set.
Watch out for my samples on Facebook and I’ll continue to post on the web site on a more regular basis.
