I have already had one hostess benefit from this promotion. She had the option of choosing a level one or level two stamp set and then instead of having $80 to spend on free products she had $130 to spend. I think she is still walking around with a big grin on her face.

If you would like to benefit from this great promotion by booking a workshop, please book me for a few hours of fun between the 1 June and 15 July. Gathering a order of $700 in this time would also work in your favour for this promotion.

And we invite you to eScape with us throughout the month of June! Take advantage of the 25% discount on products in the eScape bundle to help you create that special message from the heart.

New Catalogues

The 2008-2009 Idea book & Catalogue is now available!  It is truly beautiful and I have a wish list that is 3 A4 sheets long.  My family has been very neglected. There are so many lovely things to look at.  New rhinestones, ribbons, rub-ons, patterned papers and my favourite new accessory is the textured 12 x 12 cardstock.  Of course the catalogue has lots of new stamp sets and it has kept quite a few favourites from last year.

If you would like a copy of the new catalogue, please contact me.  They are free if you host a workshop or alternatively, you can purchase one.  They retail for $12.95 but I am selling them for $10.00 for the month of April (if you do not live in the Albany area P&H is additional).

I hope you love the new catalogue as much as I do.

Tuesday's Tip # 3

Images copyright 1990-2008 Stampin' Up!

The new Lots of Thoughts stamp set from the Sale-A-Bration brochure is one of the sets you can get free with every $100 you spend. It is very versatile and has phrases to suit most occasions. The great thing about this set is that stamped images can be punched out using the Stampin' Up! 1-3/8 square punch or with the tag punch. By the way, all of these stamp sets come with the rubber pre-cut so you just have to add the rubber image and the sticker to the block and it's ready for stamping.

If you would like to add a Sale-A-Bration stamp set to your collection, please contact me and I will place an order for you.  Sale-A-Bration ends on the 29th February. 

Summer Mini Catalogue

The Stampin' Up! Summer Mini Catalogue has to been seen to appreciate how lovely the products are. The catalogue has been available since 1st December 2007 and this will continue until the 31st March 2008. Why not have a peek at the link above.
