Open House THIS SATURDAY!!

Hi Stampin' Friends!

I'm inviting you all to my home, this Saturday, 10:00-2:00 p.m. for a New Catalog Launch and Open House.  I will also have some extra Thirty One fun here as well.

We will have a FREE make and take, LOTS of prizes and a BUNCH of new catalog project samples.

I will also have my calendar available for workshop sign ups as well as new catalog product shares.

PLEASE mark your calendar and plan on coming.  Open House means come and go anytime in that time frame.

Going, Going, GONE!! The Retirement List is HERE!

It's that time of year again!

The retired list has been posted and while you can shop online and see all the wonderful products we'll be saying Farewell to, you can also download a list here to print off.  

Keep in mind all stamps that are on the list will be orderable until May 22.  All accessories are while supplies last.  Some items are up to a 50% mark down!

When shopping, use the hostess code 9UNUQ939

I will be having a "Farewell" Party, coming soon!  Watch for a date!

Thanks for reading today!  

Classes This Weekend!!

Hi everyone! Quick post today...

I'm scheduling classes for this weekend.  

It's been a while and I'm so sorry for that! Between spring break, Easter and Girl Scout Cookies, we've been weekend BUSY!!

So this coming 

Friday, 6-8 pm

Saturday morning 10-noon

Let me know which session will be the best for you. 

Looking forward to seeing you all!

Hostess Code and An Opportunity You Don't Want to Miss!!

I completely forgot to put this month's hostess code in the post yesterday.  As you are all rushing off to purchase a prepaid subscription for My Paper Pumpkin, make sure you use the hostess code at check out (if your order is less than $150) and you'll have a shot at the hostess benefits if "we" buy enough as a group.

This month's hostess code is ZTJPCMAE.  Click here to shop!

Now an opportunity you don't want to out on...


We all know as this Stampin' Up year comes to a close (which reminds me, get your retiring colors now before they sell out), there will be a new catalog soon.  A big pretty book of wonderfullness that inspires us all to create handmade gifts, tags and cards.  Well, here's the question, do you want to peek at all that goodness early, before anyone else does?

How?

From now until March 31, when you join Stampin' Up! you will cash in on some great benefits.

First of all, the starter kit is $99, that's it.  (no shipping)  It is one of the only times Stampin' Up! gives you FREE SHIPPING! If you hold only 2 workshops, you have the potential of paying off your kit!

In this, you get to choose $155 in product!   So you are essentially saving over $70 on your order, when you account for the $56 discount and free shipping.

You also get a "discount" (between 20%-25%) on your purchases each time you order.  Who doesn't want a generous discount?

As a demonstrator, you get exclusive weekly emails full of ideas, information and more!  There's a fantastic magazine exclusive to demonstrators as well, that is even more FULL of workshop ideas, project ideas and other inspiring things Stampin' Up! has to offer.

And the perk I had you hooked on?  Yes, you get to peek at new catalogs and products before they are released to the public, and with a new catalog upon us, NOW is the time to take that peek!  :)

As a part of my growing team, you will also be a part of a community of friends who want to stamp together.  I will offer as much or as little business building  tools as you'd like.

So whether you want to be a hobby demo who still attends classes with me, or start your own blooming business, let me know, and I'd love to help!  NOW is definitely the time!!

There is no contract, no commitment, and no penalty for not "selling".  If you try it out and decide it's not for you, that's fine!  Just  let your demonstrator-ship run its course and you aren't penalized.  They only limit you from rejoining within a certain time frame.  But I promise you, once you join, you'll be hooked!  I was hooked 7 years ago, joined 6 and haven't regretted a single day!!


Message me for more info, or click here to join!

Paper Pumpkin is SUCH A TREAT! See why!!

Have you heard!?  

Paper Pumpkin is pretty much the greatest thing since sliced bread, and well, until March 31, you can get a 3 month subscription for $55!  That includes shipping, and also... a FREE Sale-A-Bration item. 

Want more?  

Activate your 3 month prepaid subscription, or simply join by April 10, and you'll get a free stamp set.  That is in ADDITION to the stamp set, ink spot, and kit materials already in your box.

This is to celebrate Paper Pumpkin's 3rd Birthday and 1,000,000th kit.  Read that right?  1 MILLION!!  

If you are already a Paper Pumpkin subscriber, be sure to stay that way, (don't suspend a month or cancel) and you'll get a free stamp set, too!

So as a recap:

Order a prepaid subscription for $55 (3 months), get a FREE Sale-A-Bration choice, AND an extra special stamp set in your April box.  Keep in mind, when you are ordering a prepaid subscription, you will check out on the stampin up website, then an email with a confirmation code will be sent your provided email address.  You will then use this code on the My Paper Pumpkin website.  This is where you'll refer to when managing your Paper Pumpkin subscription.  

What are you waiting for?

Order here!

And as a thank you for reading today, leave your email in the comments for a special treat from me ;)

Three for $10 Class UPDATE

Hi everyone!

Quick post today.

I had an overwhelming amount of responses for card class!  Yay!  THANK YOU!

However, they were mostly all declining.  That means this coming weekend is just not the one for us to make cards.  It's not fun to be the only one (or two) people in attendance.

So, with that being said, I'm going to post pone to next weekend.

Friday, February 26 from 6-8 pm
Saturday, February 27 from 10-noon

Please let me know if this will work for you.  Looking forward to seeing everyone!

Also, as many of you have requested, we will have a Girl Scout with an order form if you'd like to preorder cookies.  Please, do not feel obligated, but I know that many of you have asked.

See you next weekend!

We'll be using more goodies from the Occasions Catalog.  (This photo is just a sample, not a guarantee of what we'll be making, however we will be using this specific die :) )  Some of you even got a sneak peek at the buffet of one of the cards we'll be making.  :) Also, if you aren't regularly seeing my posts on Facebook (which seems to be where I can get most information posted on a more regular basis, there are 2 reasons for that; 1. You haven't liked my page, Pink Paper Packages ;) 2. You have liked my page, but because FB wants me to pay to reach all of you, you need to comment, share or like something I've posted to keep it in your newsfeed. Looking forward to hearing back from you all! Lacie

Buffet still happening this weekend!!

In case you missed it, the big Birthday and Valentine Buffet is happening this weekend!! Check my Facebook page for more details!!

November's Hostess Code

Here's the hostess code for November!

Still planning classes... can't wait to see everyone again!

Weekly Deals and Class Updates!

A few updates:

Weekly deals!

Eclectic Paper-Piercing Pack [133778] $6.00

Flower Medallion Punch [137417] $13.50

Happy Patterns Decorative Masks [138313] $4.50

Old Olive Baker's Twine [134579] $2.25

As for classes, I'm not sure!

I have so much ready to do, just not sure of timing.  To be completely honest, November will be weekday/night classes.  I have things planned each weekend in November!  

I will be offering a tags class, with the "Oh What Fun!" Tag Kit, another with the Hello December Product Line, and hopefully a Christmas Card Buffet.  

I've had these out at last month's classes.  Please email me if you are interested in any of them, and we can schedule from there?  Or at least I can consider what works best for you, in my planning.  This is easier being those specialty classes aren't as highly attended.

I may sneak into the first week of December with a Christmas Card Buffet, or a repeat at least.  We will see!

Tis the Season, right?!

ALL Stamps on Sale!!

Can you believe it!?  Just in time for Christmas and wishlist shopping!

All stamps are 15% off, for these 5 days only!  This is a great time to save a little extra... 

The bundles will not be on any additional sale, however, this 15% off allows you to purchase the stamps independently of the framelits.  The bundles will remain at their existing 15% discount. 

Remember to use hostess code, YCHD629X,

Also, anyone else interested in the Printer's Tray Class this coming Saturday, please let me know!  I'm cutting kits asap!

Watercolor Wishes Card Kit

What a fun card kit this is!! 

I completed it in one setting, and if you know anything about my distracting little helpers, you know that says something!! 

These cards are SO pretty. They'd cheer any recipient up put a smile on their face, making this a great kit of cards to sent year round. 

I chose to focus on birthday and thank you cards, but the stamp set has congrats, hello, celebrate, and more!! 

Why not make up and kit and put a pretty bow on it for a Christmas gift? I am planning on it for a few gifts already...

Not to mention the leftovers; there's a fantastic stamp set, roll of washi and tons of butterfly and heart wood veneers. 

Did I mention 2 Stampin spots and a clear block to add to your collection? 

Don't forget, card classes this weekend! Be sure to let me know if you'd like to come (if you haven't already)! 

Holiday Printers Tray Class, Oct 24

I'm so proud of this one!

Two years ago, Stampin' Up! had these great printer's trays for a Halloween decor project. They then made the individual trays available to demos to order. I had big plans for a Christmas Tray Class. Well, then I found out I was pregnant and was bound to the couch!

Fortunately, I had already ordered a stash! Unfortunately, I can't order more. 

I knew that when the Home for Christmas Suite was in this Holiday Catalog, it was destined to be the perfect paper and stamps for the trays I have sitting in my stash...

What do you think!? 

Has room for a 3" x 6" holiday photo.  Bring an old one from prior years, or save the spot for this year.  If you need to print here from your phone, etc, that's good too!  

Rosettes, glitter trim, buttons, and gold cording!

The DSP has the most darling reindeer paper.  Yes, we will fussy cut!

I made coordinating subway art, with space for a stamped image.  Also that pom pom trim!? LOVE!

More rosettes, glimmer paper, and perfect little houses on paper!

So what do you think?  Interested?  RSVP immediately if you want this!  I cannot order more of the trays.  

Saturday, October 24, 10:00 am - noon. 

Cost: $30

October is Here!

Updates and news for October...

Hostess code: YCHD629X  

Ready for a special treat this October?  For every $35 order you place with this hostess code, you'll get a special treat from my basket of goodies.  Might be a pack of dimensionals, a spool of ribbon, washi tape, you decide!  Be sure to use this hostess code to be entered into the drawing for the hostess dollars!

Classes are coming!  Visit my Stampin' Up! website to RSVP!
