WooHoo! It's time for the Holidays at Stampin'Up!

Hi Stampers!
I've been eagerly waiting for this day - the launch of the Holiday catalog!  If you haven't seen one yet, first thing you should do is click on the catalog to the right --->>> It's the one with the pretty red cover and lots of great ideas on the front of it.  That link will take you to a PDF version of the catalog that you can scroll through and see all the wonderful new products Stampin'Up! has. I'll be featuring a ton of them in the days and weeks to come in my blog. As a demonstrator, we get to preorder from the catalog and boy, I took advantage of that!

Here's a couple of tips when you're considering what to purchase or put on your wish list:

1)  If history is any judge, there are a few things that may sell out and not be available. Usually the first thing to go are kits and this year, I'm convinced the "Countdown to Christmas" Advent box kit will be very popular. If you want one of these, I would order it in Sept or early Oct. Do not wait any longer or you may be disappointed. Inventory is ordered 6 months in advance at times so it's not possible to place another big order to replenish a sold out product. Just don't wait if you really want it!  Here's a pic of it:

There is a coordinating stamp set you can get or you can get a kit and then come to a class and we will share the stamp set. More details on the future about a class.  Order info is included below the blog post.

2)  Holidays are the best time to up your crafting game with some treats, cards, table favors, gift packaging,  party decor, etc.  We have lots of items that will help you create with confidence. I'm guessing another item that will be hot are the cute little coffin treat boxes!  They come in a pack of 12 boxes that you assemble with tear tape or glue dots.  These are adorable!!

3)  It's easy to earn Stampin' Rewards with a large order!  Once you hit the $150 threshold, you earn 10% back in free product of your choice. As your order grows, so does the %% of freebies!  If you don't have a big enough order yourself, consider getting a friend or two to order something as well and grow your order that way.  In fact, you could all buy a kit or project and gather together to make them!  Creativity with girlfriend time - a win/win!!

4)  Just to sweeten the pot, Stampin'Up! is also holding their annual "Buy 3 get 1 Free" Designer Series Paper sale!  It's a great opportunity to save on some DSP packs from the annual catalog. They are especially gorgeous this year and I can't wait to stock up myself.  Here's a look:
