If you are anything like me, you are a bit nervous when ordering something to be printed.  Just HOW do you send it to the printer, anyway?  Are you sure it will print like you imagine?  If you are using MDS2 software, the process is quite simple.  Just watch this video to see just how simple it is:

Then wait for your project to be delivered right to your door.  I always get so excited to see my printed projects.  My family does, too!  So, finish your digital project and feel confident sending it the printer so you and your family can enjoy it!

That song is stuck in my head – luckily it’s a positive song.

Stampin’ Up! is proud to introduce photopolymer stamps!!!!

• They’re entirely transparent for perfect placement every time!
• They are durable. The photopolymer material is designed to last.
• Can you say sticky? (Don’t worry; in a good way.) These stamps stick amazingly well to our clear blocks.
• They’re age tested. They won’t yellow or cloud up over time.
• They use FDA, food-safe material. How far can you stretch your stamping creativity?
• I could go on, but why not try them for yourself?

They are clearly a great choice.  They help you see all obstacles in your way (there’s that song again . . .) to improve your stamping experience.  And at just $13.95 (item 132956), this is a great way to try this type of stamp set for a very small investment.  Hopefully you already have some clear blocks as the blocks A, B, G, F and I are recommended for this first set.

This Designer Typeset Photopolymer Stamp Set is part of a trial for this type of stamp set.  If people like you show interest, they plan to offer more sets in the future.  So why not order today and try it out so we can all see future photopolymer stamp sets?

Unable to attend workshops to learn how to stamp?  No problem!  Now you can download our new online class!  This class shares innovative ideas to get the most of your supplies (from stamps to the Big Shot) with clever tips and techniques.  Divided into six sections focused on a variety of topics, this class includes videos, step outs, and supply lists for 30+ projects.

Check it out and share with your friends.  At $14.95 (item 133385) it’s a GREAT value for anyone.

Once downloaded, you can take the class at your convenience!  And since this is a download, it is available at time of purchase, no waiting for shipping of anything.

Of course I’d love for you to attend my workshops to learn first hand how to create amazing projects with ease, but this is the next best thing.

If you have a PC, the files will be downloaded as archive files that you can then extract and save on your computer.  When you click on the download link, an extraction program will automatically launch.  Choose the location where you would like to save the files (be sure to note where you save them).  Follow the prompts on the extraction program, then navigate to the location where you saved the files.  Click on the file and open.

If you have a Mac, when you click on the download link, the file will be mounted as a drive.  Once it is mounted, open the drive and drag and drop the files to the location of your choice on your hard drive.  The files can then be opened.

This is a terrific new way for you to enjoy stamping and I hope you take advantage of it soon.  If you have any questions, just let me know.

Have a fabulous day!

Hostess codes – what are those!?!

Well, this is great news for hostesses!  As a hostess, if you happen to have friends who are unable to attend your workshop, but would like to place an order online, their orders can now be added to your workshop orders, increasing your hostess benefits!  HOW COOL IS THAT!?!

Now, I know you may have lots of questions about how exactly this works.  This is new so I’m sure I’ll learn more as we go along, but here are some questions and answers provided by Stampin’ Up!:

Q: Can an online order with a hostess code contain Clearance Rack items?
A: Yes!

Q: Can an online order with a hostess code contain digital print products and downloads?
A: Yes!

Q: Can an online order customer ship their order with the workshop order to keep shipping costs to a minimum?
A: No, online orders are independent of the workshop order and online order shipping rates apply.

Q: Will online customer orders contribute to the workshop shipping costs?
A: Online customer orders will be charged normal shipping costs for their order. The workshop order will be charged for shipping on the non-online customer order items only.

Q: If an online order total qualifies for Stampin’ Rewards, will the customer receive them even if they enter a Hostess Code?
A: No, Stampin’ Rewards earned prior to entering a Hostess Code will be removed if the customer applies a hostess code. Customers who enter a hostess code at the beginning of their shopping experience will not be notified that they qualify for Stampin’ Rewards since they elected to apply them to the workshop through the hostess code.

As I mentioned, we will all learn more as we start entering orders with this process.  But this appears to be really awesome news for hostesses!  I think it’s absolutely FABULOUS!  It’s always fun for hostesses to pick out their free items and now that amount can increase with the addition of these orders “outside” of the workshop.  And those placing online orders can now feel good about contributing to their friend’s workshop order even when life prevents them from actually attending the workshop.  So now . . . ARE YOU READY to be a hostess?  Contact me today to schedule a workshop!  You only need ONE order to start this whole process!  Then add those online orders from friends and family from all over the United States and watch your hostess benefits really add up.
