Each month during 2013, Stampin’ Up will mix up some of our all-time-faves with a
NEW, never-before-seen stamp to create
12 “Best of” stamp sets.
We’re kicking things off with the Best of Birthdays Stamp Set. Party on!
All Best of stamp sets will include 3-5 images, including a never-before seen image, and will be priced at $14.95.
While we are releasing just one Best of stamp set per month (with a new theme each month), all of the Best of sets will be available until March 31, 2014.
New Releases every month!
All Best of stamp sets are available in Clear-Mount only.
While we are releasing just one Best of stamp set per month, all of the Best of sets will be available until March 31, 2014.
As a special incentive to collect the Best of stamps, starting in February we’re including a collector’s card and 25-year proof of purchase sticker with every Best of set.
Collect six stickers, and send it in to redeem a FREE set of your choice valued up to $14.95!
Free sets must be redeemed no later than April 30, 2014.
Watch this really cute project video by Carrie Cudney at the Stampin’ Up home office! The Pop ‘N Cuts are available in the Spring catalog on page 32. You can get just the Card Base die and/or the Pop N Cuts die, just the ALL DRESSED UP stamp set, or the stamp set & framelits bundle, too!
These pics were taken by me at the Leadership demo booth, where they were showing how to cut the cute pop ups:
I posted these in my swaps post from Leadership but sharing again here since it goes along with the video:
The one above was created by Linda Goldhersz (who is German) and added the lace to the dress!
And this one by Wanda Smith, who added her SU apron to the dress!
If you’d like to order one or all of the products to make these, look on page 32. They are a bit pricey for the whole enchilada package, BUT Sale-A-Bration is just around the corner! January 22nd begins the free gift with every $50 so it would be good time to spend if you like it. Think of all the ideas you could use it for! Weddings, bridal showers, change of address (cute!) and more!

Oh my gosh, how cute is THIS?! It’s an itty bitty embossing machine! If you don’t have a Big Shot yet but love to emboss paper, this might be for you. Or if you want a machine that is easily portable to go to craft day with friends, this is your new fashion accessory!
Due to our partnership with Sizzix, we are pleased to be able to offer a test run of the Texture Boutique Embossing Machine in our North American markets. We have 4,000 available to be sold only while supplies last. If this product test goes well, we may offer the Texture Boutique again in the future.
Watch this Stampin’ Up video with Carrie Cudney:
The Texture Boutique works with Textured Impressions Embossing Folders to transform ordinary card stock, paper, metallic foil, or vellum into an embossed, textured masterpiece. This machine embosses only; it does not die cut. (get the Big Shot if you want to cut with dies as well as emboss)
‘Tis the season of giving, and the Texture Boutique makes a wonderful gift for anyone who wants to create their own elegant embossed art.
To help you with your gift-giving needs, I’m offering a special value bundle that saves you $5.90. If you prefer, you can also purchase the Texture Boutique alone.

Wow, what a way to wake up this morning to these fun surprises!! Call or email me to order or Order Online at www.lindaheller.stampinup.net
Over the years, we asked Stampin’ Up to build us a better personal paper cutter. The criteria was high…and it’s FINALLY here! We’ve had a Fiskars in our catalogs for years. Nothing against Fiskars but there were a few ‘irritations’….
We asked for a surface where the numbers didn’t rub off over time – check!
We asked for a longer cutter, so we didn’t have to take out the scoring blade when cutting long paper – check!
We asked for a foot to hold up the extension arm and that it would lock into place – check!
We asked for blades that won’t fall out of the track – check!
We asked for a 6″ or more base without the arm extension – check!
We asked for non skid feet – check!
We asked for storage underneath for other supplies when we travel – check!
I’m sure there’s more great features I can’t think of right now
so you have to watch the video from SU:
And guess what? It’s available NOW! And it’s only
Call or email me to order one… item 126889; $29.95
you are gonna love it!

The New Stampin’ Trimmer
Introducing the new and improved Stampin’ Trimmer! Although paper trimmers are a common crafting tool, this trimmer was designed exclusively by paper crafters for paper crafters-and because it was made by Stampin’ Up!, you know it’s a cut above the rest!
Features of the All-New Stampin’ Trimmer
An extra-wide 6-1/4″ cutting base and an extended 14-1/2″ ruler
The extra-wide cutting base provides a large work area and is marked in 1/4″ (4 mm) increments, allowing for small measurements.
The right-side grid helps you measure and cut very thin strips.
The extended cutting arm has a stabilizing leg to provide a sturdy and steady cutting surface for longer cuts.
When fully extended, the extended cutting arm sits flush with the trimmer base, providing more accurate and consistent measurements across the entire surface.
The cutting base and track include a full ruler, incorporating measurements down to 1/16″ and grid lines that mark each quarter inch.
All rulers and measurements on the base are printed under a plastic cover so your measurements won’t wear off.
The base has nonskid feet, which keeps the Stampin’ Trimmer securely in place on your work area.
A full 12″ cutting and scoring track
The extra-long cutting track has space at the top and bottom so you don’t have to take the cutting and scoring blades out when you’re not using them.
The track gives you enough space to cut or score a full 12″ (30.5 cm) without having to remove or switch out handles.
The cutting track locks in place for secure storage or transport.
The track includes an insertion point for cutting and scoring blade handles so you can easily insert handles into the cutting track.
Specially designed handles and cutting track to ensure straight cuts
The hook on the scoring and cutting blade handles keeps the handles stable so the cuts are as straight as possible.
Handles come in two colors: dark for cutting, light for scoring.
The precision tip on the cutting blade allows you to pinpoint precisely where you’re cutting.
The point on the side of each handle shows you where the blade will cut, making it easy to see exactly where your cuts and scores will begin.
Storage compartment under base
The storage compartment holds scoring and cutting tools such as a Bone Folder, Simply Scored Stylus, extra scoring and cutting blades, and even business cards.
Separate compartments within the storage compartment keep your tools organized, and the clear cover makes it easy to see what you’ve stored.
Stampin’ Up!’s got two ways for your customers to get FREE INK from November 1 through December 16:
Hostesses who hold a minimum $450 party will get a FREE collection of Classic Stampin’ Pads! This can be any event you want to host at your place or mine. Maybe a stamp a stack? A free workshop? A product class featuring a special stamp set? Call or email me and we can schedule something!
New demonstrators who join Stampin’ Up! during the promotion period will get a FREE collection of Classic Stampin’ Pads with their Starter Kit! For only $99 plus tax and FREE shipping, you get to choose $125 worth of products from the annual catty or holiday catty!!
Here is more info on being a demo:
Here is a reprint of my FAQ article for becoming a demo, since there is such an amazing gift!
Just the Facts, Ma’am!
It is all about the the real deal on signing up as a Stampin’ Up Demonstrator.
(note to demonstrators: I wrote this so please don’t copy and paste into your websites – thx!)
With Stampin’ Up having changed their Starter Kits to more of what I call a ‘buffet’ kit, now is a good time to answer those questions for anyone who is wondering what the real scoop is. No sugarcoating- just the facts, ma’am!
*What comes in the new Starter Kit this year? Anything you want! Gone are the days of having to choose from this price or that category. You simply choose $125 of product from the catalog or current mini catalog, like the new Holiday catalog! You pay only $99, your state tax and FREE shipping. Yeah, it’s good. You still get all the business supplies like order forms and 8 catalogs.
*What if I have been a demo before?If you are signing up again with the same upline/recruiter as before, then you can sign up right away. If you are signing up with someone new and your old upline/recruiter is still active, you need to wait 90 days before signing up again with someone new. If she isn’t active, there isn’t a wait time and you can sign up with someone new right away.
*What if I am a current demo and want to switch uplines? Good gravy I get asked that often. It’s a tricky thing and there is a cost to it. I always suggest to try to work it out first. Sometimes you just want to be with a team locally or there is an issue you can’t sort out. You do lose your demo ID number, your downline or recruits under you do not transfer with you, you have to wait 90 days (without Stampin’ Connection or the Stampin’ Success magazine) and you lose your career sales. Basically you start over but then you can get all the benefits of starting over as a new recruit also. (like the 30% on your first order, stampin start, etc) Really think about though!
What is the catch? Other than a totally addictive hobby, it’s pretty easy. I’ve had more trouble and headaches trying to switch cell phone plans. That took 3 hours. Signing up to be a demonstrator? 20 minutes. Online. And you get your password to go onto the Demonstrator Only Website right away while you wait for your kit to arrive in a week to 10 days.
*Keeping it Going: Anyone can buy a kit and enjoy it. Keeping it going requires some work on your part. Having even 2 or 3 friends you stamp with each month is an easy and fun way to collect those orders to meet your minimums.
What if I decide to not place any orders and just enjoy my kit? Stampin ‘Up will just drop you after a period of time. No penalties, nothing to give back, no note sent home to your parents.
How much do I have to order to stay active?$300 retail. Stampin’ Up quarters runs Jan-March, April-June, July -Sept, and Oct-Dec. The month you sign up, you would get the rest of your first quarter free of minimums. We are currently in July-Sept, so the next quarter so you would have to your $300 in orders by the end of December! It can be ALL at once, or in smaller orders. With just your own orders or friends adding to it. You can be your own hostess, too! So it pays off if you are looking for a discount and you are going to spending that much on stamp stuff anyway.
30% off Bonus: This is why some people sign up if they have a huge wish list or want something big like the BIG SHOT: You get 30% (instead of 20%) off your first order over 150.00 if you place it within 45 days of signing up. Be your own hostess + get a big discount = no brainer.
*Making Extra Money: If you work hard, you can really enjoy a profitable business! You need drive, a love of stamping and a love to share it with others, too. You can see the compensation plan here http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/lindaheller/careerplan and then there is the very generous bonus plans that you can earn with promotions and your team. (and the incentive trips like this year I’m going to Fiji…yippeee!)
How do I know who to sign up with?
This is an important decision! Do you want/need lots of training in stamping techniques or computer help? Do you want to stamp with a group or attend events or meetings? Then I would recommend that you should find someone local to sign up with. Find a demonstrator who has monthly or quarterly events or training so you can learn all you can and stamp often! Use the demo locator on the SU website at www.stampinup.com and click on Find a Demonstrator. Look for someone with a website and check out her events. Even if she is an hour away, it is totally worth it so you can learn all you need to. *Be sure to ask her/him if you can still attend their classes if you sign up! Some do not so just ask. Anyone on my team can attend my classes – they just have to proactively watch my class schedule and rsvp.
Are you already a seasoned stamper? Maybe you don’t mind phone calls and FaceTime or is happy to do your own thing? Then it isn’t as important to sign up with someone locally. Personally I would sign up with someone who has been doing it for more than a few years, is established and offers some long distance support.
What I offer: I offer a free membership to Stamping School ( my video tutorial website) to my team of demonstrators. It is a way that I can show them new techniques and projects since I can’t be there to stamp with them as much as I would like to! I’m an active upline if you need me to be or someone who is there when you just want a question answered. I offer weekly or monthly coaching by request, business building groups, and monthly get togethers & incentives.
There are lots of choices out there and I believe you don’t want to sign up with someone because they are offering a free stamp set. This should be a relationship where you can call or email for help or training and be a part of a team.
Do I have to have classes or workshops?
Some demonstrators do it as a career and support themselves full time with it. It’s a lot of work but it can be done. More than half of the demonstrators in my group do it just for the discount or hobby. There is no requirement to host or teach any classes. Now if you want help with putting in the orders, we call those Bread and Butter customers. Those are the friends or family that you can stamp with each month or every other month so they can order a few things from you. Every little bit helps! And if you are like me, one day you may need extra money and that’s how I started doing it more as a business. When times get tough, sell stamps!
What is in the Demonstrator Only Website?
Gee whiz, there is so much in there that I couldn’t list it all. 5 years of back issues of our Stampin’ Success magazines (which arrive in our mail monthly), projects, templates, articles, videos, and the biggest is Stampin’ Connection. It’s a HUGE forum for demos only with TONS of samples each day.
Some people sign up just for the preorders. Maybe this has happened to you: You are on a website and see this awesomely cute card and say “I want that set!” but it’s not available for another month and then you get mad because the demonstrators already have it and are using it? Then you should be a demonstrator and get the upcoming mini catalogs or promotional stuff before anyone else!
Some people sign up just to go to convention! We have an amazing annual convention in Salt Lake City each year with thousands of stampers attending! 3-4 days of inspiration, swapping and classes!
If you have more questions, feel free to call or email me anytime. I’d be happy to steer you to the upline who is right for you to sign up with or you can sign up with me to be a part of my group.
How do I sign up?A lot of demonstrators have a DBWS, which is a Demonstrator Business Website. As demonstrators, we pay 12.95 a month for it and it is wonderful! Stampin’ Up keeps it updated for us and we can add our own projects, calendar and special touches. One of the perks is that you can sign up online and get your demonstrator password immediately! Mine is www.lindaheller.stampinup.net and you can check it out. (new recruits get it free for 2 months, by the way!)
What are you waiting for?! FREE Ink pads, Fun and a new stamping adventure are just a click away!

Single Stamps
The 2nd promotion is a TEST PILOT PROGRAM that SU is experimenting with. They realize that some stampers may want just one stamp out of a stamp set. Maybe you have a baby shower or someone needs that one stamp only to make a project perfect!
Stampin’ Up is testing the sale of Single Stamps. They have chosen 3 stamp sets to purchase individual stamps- Word Play, Perfectly Penned, and Seasonal Sayings. The offer will be available now through January 2, 2013.
Here are a few things you need to know before purchasing:
These stamps are available on any order type-customer, demonstrator, workshop, or online.
You can find the stamp item numbers on the flyers.
These single stamps can be ordered in the online store.
These won’t be sent to you in our typical cases or packaging; they’ll be packaged in cello bags. If you’d like a case for your stamp, you can buy our Clear-Mount Stamp Cases that come in packs of four (item 119105).
This offer is available for clear-mount stamps only.
The stamps won’t come with a Clear-Mount Block, and you’ll need to buy a block separately if you don’t already have one. The recommended block sizes can be found on the flyers.
There’s no limit on how many pieces you can buy.
This offer is not available in Quebec.
Remember that this is a pilot program, so take advantage of it while you can!
Keep in mind that there is a minimum 6.95 shipping for orders under $69, then it’s only 10%. (that would defeat the $5 stamp lol) If you want a stamp and you see me locally, I can throw it on an order and you can get it from me at the next class to save on shipping.
