Hope and High Tide


Even with all the fabulous products available in the Occasions and Sale-a-bration catalogs, it's nice to pull out a favorite from the annual catalog and show it some love.  This week, I pulled out High Tide.  I know this is a favorite of many of you.  So, maybe today's card will inspire you to show this set a little love, too!



Product List

   31 days remaining in Sale-a-bration!  Why does that matter?  


The biggest sale of the year!
Sale-A-Bration Dates:  January 3 - March 31, 2018

Shop!

For every $50 customers spend, they’ll receive a free Sale-A-Bration product. For anyone who has enjoyed Sale-A-Bration in the past, there is an exciting new announcement for this year: We now have a new reward level, giving customers more flexibility and options for their free items.Let’s break it down:
  • Spend $50, get one free level 1 product.
  • Spend $100, get one free level 2 product, OR, choose two level 1 items.
  • Spend $150, you have the option to choose three level 1 items or one level 1 item 
  • and one level 2 item.
This new option allows everyone to create a personalized Sale-A-Bration
experience!


Also, this year, we have Thinlits dies and a Textured Impressions Embossing
Folder featured in the Sale-A-Bration brochure that will carry over into the annual catalog. During Sale-A-Bration, these products are bundled, however, when Sale-A-Bration is over, while the dies and embossing folder will still be available in the annual catalog, they will NOT be bundled with a stamp set.

When a host holds a qualifying party with at least $250 in sales during
Sale-A-Bration, they’ll earn $25 more in Stampin’ Rewards!* These rewards can
even be applied towards a Starter Kit, allowing your customer/hosts to also join
and become demonstrators.
*Additional Stampin’ Rewards can also be earned by an individual purchase or order of $250 or more.

Flying Home

Every month I send a card and small thank you gift to my customers that placed an order with me in the previous month.  I sent this card to those that placed an order in January.  The actual card itself varied, but the image panel was the same for all.  I really like the spring like images in this set!  And the images are perfect for the Stampin' Blends!



Do you recognize the card?  It's from the Tutti-Frutti Cards and Envelopes - a Sale-a-bration item!

 Note:  Stampin' Up! has advised that some Stampin' Blends are likely to go on backorder soon.  Here is the announcement provided to demonstrators:

"Since the introduction of Stampin’ Blends in October 2017, our forecasting and planning department has been closely monitoring our Stampin’ Blends inventory and customers’ buying patterns. Over the last couple of months, we’ve seen a dramatic increase in the sales of Stampin’ Blends, which is wonderful—you and your customers are buying them, using them, and loving them!
Unfortunately, the quick increase in sales, along with a long lead time from our supplier in China, and the temporary shutdown of all factories in China for the government-mandated Chinese New Year holiday, has created a perfect storm for backorders. In the next coming weeks, we anticipate that approximately 14 of our current 27-color Stampin’ Blends collection will go on backorder:
  • Bermuda Bay (Light and Dark)
  • Bronze
  • Calypso Coral (Dark)
  • Crumb Cake (Light and Dark)
  • Ivory
  • Pink Pirouette (Light and Dark)
  • Pool Party (Light and Dark – currently on backorder)
  • Pumpkin Pie (Dark)
  • Smoky Slate (Light and Dark)
Because of Chinese New Year, we don’t yet have a firm date of when more of these colors will be available, but we anticipate it won’t be until the end of April.
Letting you know of this potential backorder situation could result in our current inventory being depleted even more quickly; however, we wanted to give you and your customers the opportunity to purchase your favorite Stampin’ Blends colors before they go on backorder."
Please keep this in mind if you've been thinking of ordering Stampin' Blends.

Puppy Thanks



Bella and Friends has been sitting on my shelf for a while now.  And it was long overdue to see some inky love!  The puppies in this set are adorable!!! Do you recognize the background paper?  It is from Tutti-frutti 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper.  It is white with black dots in the paper pack; I used a sponge brayer to cover it in Pool Party ink.

The puppy is stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored with Stampin' Blends.  And the "thank you" greeting is from All Things Thanks. 

I added a strip of 3/8" Shimmer Ribbon in Basic Black to add interest.
