Hi stamping friends!  Long post ahead but much to tell you about!

I’ve been packing and prepping for the Stampin’ Up Thailand incentive trip! We leave in 4 days – can’t believe it’s here already!  It’s a loooooong flight there and it’s hot there….but I’m hoping the beauty and friends I’ll see there will make up for it!  I’m grateful to Stampin’ Up, my team and wonderful customers to earn an all expense paid trip for 2 like this for the last 12 years. We have been to places we never imagined going!  Matt and I are heading in early for 3 days in Bangkok first then on to the trip in Phuket.   If you are interested, here is where we will be staying, courtesy of SU:

While I’m gone, there are a few specials going on – a few from SU and one from me!

Bonus Days are BACK! 

Last year was a success so they are repeating it again this year!

Has your wish list grown since the catalog came out?

Then treat yourself to a little extra bonus!

For every $50 you spend July 1–31 (before shipping and tax), you’ll get a $5  Bonus Days coupon that you can use August 1–31. (and you will want a coupon in August because there is a really cool Christmas early purchase bundle you can get then)

An email address will be need to be entered when ordering and the coupons are emailed to you with a code to redeem in August.  You will need that code so save it!

There’s no limit to how many coupons you can earn and no minimum when redeeming them in August.

 Available on all order types like demonstrator, customer or workshop and excludes Starter kit orders (starter kit orders already get free shipping and $25 free + extra goodies this month – see more details in my post below)

I’ll be in the states July 1st – 5th to help you with orders but then I’ll be gone 10 days. I’m not sure about the internet there.  I know many of you don’t like to order online but it’s pretty easy once you do it one time.  To get step by step instructions you can visit my How To Ordering page HERE. 

If you want to order while I’m gone but do not want to order online, Stampin’ Up can take your order for me over the phone.  Just call 1-800-stamp-up (1800-782-6787) and tell them you want to order with me.  (there are 2 Linda Hellers as demos so be sure they have the right one:)

I have an ordering gift for the month of July!

Over the past few seasons I have so much beautiful yet retired product I can’t use for my videos or classes.  Just because it’s no longer available doesn’t mean you can’t create your own projects with it! So for those placing $50 orders with me in July to get the bonus coupons, I’m sending you a Creativity Kit filled with things like 12 sheets of 6×6 papers, coordinating buttons or accessories, 2 yard ribbon samples, and 10 sheets 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 card stock! Here is an example of one Creativity Kit ready to go out to someone:

When I return from Thailand, I’ll email you and if you’d like to choose your theme, you can.  Themes like Fall, Christmas, Floral, Vintage or birthday. Or you can be surprised!

If your order is under $150 and you are ordering online, you can use Host Code XR9ZXWCR and I’ll also add a NEW catalog accessory in your Creativity Kit!  (if your order is over $150, don’t use the code so you can get your own host rewards – I’ll still put the new accessory in your kit)

Some of you have been asking me “when is Stampin’ Up having another sign up special?” Well, it’s coming July 1st!  They are giving a sneak peek, free Christmas stamp set from the upcoming Holiday catalogFREE+ a gift pack of supplies to the kit!

From July 1–31, recruits will receive:

• $99 Starter Kit for $125 worth of products
• FREE Essentials Gift Pack including Paper Snips, SNAIL Adhesive, Grid Paper, two D Blocks (one for them and one for a stamping friend), and a Bone Folder
• FREE Carols of Christmas Stamp Set (the coordinating framelits can be added to your starter kit for $30)

That’s an added value of $72 US

Here is the stamp set  you will get free in your starter kit during July:

Here are some ideas to show you how it works with the framelits.  Remember to contact me to get the item codes for adding the framelits to your starter kit.  The sign up kit is $99 + tax and free shipping.  You choose $125 in products and you can add the framelits as an item for $30!

I don’t have this bundle in my hands yet but here are some good photos so you can see how fun its is!   Customers will be able to purchase these in AUGUST and use your $5 coupons you earn in July.

The Card Front Builder dies are pretty cool!  See the detail around the vellum over the photo?  That was created with the framelit.

Love the shape of the tree dies and pretty card using the die cut deer.

This is a shaker card using the trees

The corner dies were used to create a peekaboo effect on the red paper

Another good example of the card builder dies and ornament dies

Here are all the samples – you can click on them to enlarge for detail.

If you are wanting to get the Carols of Christmas set free in your starter kit, be sure to ask me for the order numbers for the coordinating framelits also!  You definitely will want to add those to your kit.

Is Signing Up as a hobby or business demonstrator for you?

1.  It may be for you if you dislike paying shipping on your orders you place as a customer.  As a demonstrator, you save around 20% with each order.  (you get a higher discount as your orders/sales increase that month)   So for me, I signed up 18 years ago because I wanted to get the equivalent of free shipping and tax on each order.   The 20% instant income/discount saves a bunch!

2. It may be for you if you don’t mind placing your own orders.  Some basic computer skills are needed but it’s easy to do and I will train you.  Some of my demonstrators like to call their orders in and SU happily helps them place the order over the phone.   I like placing my own orders whenever I want, anytime of the day!

3.  It may be for you if want to buy new stamps and products early!  With every new catalog, demonstrators get to order a month early.  If you are antsy to get new things sooner, sign up and get em early!

I will try to post from Thailand but not sure how the wifi is!  I’ll try to post to my Stamping School Facebook page and my personal page also so check there for fun updates.

Thanks for stopping by !  Go Stamp Something!
