Think Pink!

I've always said that October is a great month to join Stampin' Up! (read my reasons HERE).

But this year it's better than ever. Stampin' Up! have just announced their Breast Cancer Awareness Promotion:
For over 20 years, Stampin' Up! has helped women make a difference in the lives of others by simply doing what they love to do--sharing creativity.
Now you too can become a Stampin' Up! demonstrator and make a difference! For every person who joins the Stampin' Up! family between 1 October and 31 December 2009, Stampin' Up! will donate $5 to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

Plus, until 31 December 2009, you'll receive a FREE pack of Raspberry Tart Designer Series paper and a Pretty in Pink Classic Stampin' Pad to help you get started!
There's never been a better reason to join!

Contact me if you'd like me to mail you an Information pack about joining Stampin' Up!

Want Free ribbon?

What a silly question...Of course you do! Especially if it looks like this, and there's over 18 metres of it!

From 1-30 September, you can get an exclusive Ribbon Bundle* FREE when you spend $100 on any Stampin' Up! products or host a $600 workshop.

*Ribbon bundle includes 9.1 metres each Certainly Celery 5/8" poly-twill ribbon and So Saffron 5/8" grosgrain ribbon.
Both of these ribbons aren't in our catalogue, so this will be your only opportunity to get them....let me know if you "need" to order a few bits and pieces so you can take part in this great offer ;o)


Team Meetings

One of my favourite gatherings are our team meetings. I hold them in my house, and it won't be long before we don't all fit, but I'm going to have them here for as long as I possibly can! We're planning a second storey renovation for early next year which will include knocking down a couple of walls downstairs to make a large dining room at the back of the house, so that will help! I'm going to put off hiring a hall for as long as possible because I just prefer a homey atmosphere. Our team meetings are always pretty informal. It's just a nice way to touch base with everyone, compare notes, and share what we've been up to. Of course there's always some stamping too. This was our most recent make-and-take. Everyone at the meeting made one, plus I like to mail one out to all those who couldn't make it on the day.

It's a super quick card that can easily be adjusted to suit almost any stamp set and punches, so it's a layout that I come back to again and again for workshops.

TIP: This card uses A4 cardstock very economically. The Kiwi Kiss piece is 10.5 x 7.4cm, so you can get 8 from an A4 sheet with no leftover bits. The Whisper White piece is 10.5 x 5.9cm so you can get 10 pieces from an A4 sheet with no leftovers. Super quick and easy for last-minute card emergencies!

This design also works well in workshops because although it is very simple, it has quite a few steps. So one person can be stamping butterflies (stamp 3 times in Riding Hood Red ink without re-inking the stamp), while another stamps the background stems in Pink Pirouette, and another stamps their sentiment in Kiwi Kiss. There's also some Paper piercing, faux stitching, edge distressing, sponging and punching to keep everyone busy, and give them some practise at various techniques and tools.
I couldn't resist making a stepped-up version....sometimes cards just beg to have their glad-rags on!Materials (all Stampin' Up!)
stamps: Great Friend, Oval All
ink: Pink Pirouette, Riding Hood Red, Kiwi Kiss
card: Pink Pirouette, Riding Hood Red, Kiwi Kiss, Whisper White
other: Scallop Oval, Large Oval, Mat pack, White Gel Pen, sponge daubers, Cutter Kit (Distressing Tool), Felt Fusion, Rhinestone brads, Pink Pirouette Striped ribbon, Horizontal Slot punch, dimensionals

Stamp-a-Stack FAQs

I regularly get asked questions about my Stamp-a-Stack classes by customers and other demonstrators. I'll try to include all the answers here, but if I miss anything, leave a comment, and I'll add to this post :o)

What is a Stamp-a-Stack?
The idea behind a Stamp-a-Stack class is that you go home with a 'stack' of cards ready to send out. Traditionally at a Stamp-a-Stack, you would take a couple of card designs and mass produce each one a few times.

How often do you run Stamp-a-Stacks?
I run Stamp-a-Stack classes every week (on Tuesday nights and a couple of day times as well), and have been doing them for the last 3 years. They are the most popular type of class I run.

How many cards do you make in the class?
In my Stamp-a-Stack Classes, you make 8 cards and matching envelopes, in 2 different designs.
This is an example of one design:

Even though all 4 cards look quite different, they all use the same pieces of cardstock, in a couple of different colours, arranged in different ways. It's an A5 card, a piece of 10.5 x 7.4 cardstock (Riding Hood Red and Pink Pirouette), a piece of 9.6 x 7cm cardstock (Very Vanilla) and a piece of 9.6 x 4.2 cm cardstock (Close to Cocoa). I have just re-arranged them in different ways to come up with 4 variations.
It's more interesting than taking home 4 identical cards, and my class attendees get to have a play with a lot more tools and accessories, and pick up some tips and tricks too! I show them all 4 variations, and tell them that if they are in a hurry to get home, to just choose 1 or 2 of their favourite variations, and mass-produce them, but most of my ladies like to make all 4 different variations.
I try and make the second design quite different, so everyone takes cards home to suit lots of different recipients.

How much does the class cost?

I charge $15 if you bring your own SNAIL adhesive, and $20 if you prefer to use my SNAIL. It includes an embellishment pack (ribbon, brads, etc) and 8 envelopes.

Are the classes suitable for beginners?
Definitely! But more experienced stampers will also pick up some tips and tricks.

Is the cardstock pre-cut?
Yes, I pre-cut everything. It makes it so much quicker that way! I package it all up in a Jumbo-wheeled white lunch bag. That way, as a design is completed, it can be popped in the bag, away from falling inkpads and the like!

How long does it take you to cut all the cardstock?
I cut a month's worth in one go. It usually takes a couple of hours to cut the cardstock for a whole month's worth of classes.

How long does the class take?
My evening classes are at 7pm for a 7:30 start, and we always start in time. Speedy workers are often finished by 9-9:30, and those who work at a more leisurely pace are usually done by 10pm.

How do you set up for the class?
I take 6 people per class. I set my dining room table up so that there is a design at each end, with all the supplies for that design. 3 people work on one design, and the other 3 work on the other one, and then they swap seats as they finish.

Can I have a Stamp-a-Stack in my own home?
Definitely! Once you have experienced a regular workshop, lots of people like to get their fingers a bit more inky and invite their friends over for a Stamp-a-Stack. Instead of 8, you will make 6 cards for $10 (all supplies included), in a couple of different designs.

Would you like an extra $40 free?

Stampin' Up! have just announced a FANTASTIC Promotion for June and July.

If you have a workshop during June or July which totals $600, you'll receive an extra $40 free...so that's at least a $110 shopping spree from the catalogue, plus a free Level 1 or 2 Hostess set too! What a fantastic deal!

So if you have a looooong wishlist, why not get a bunch of friends together and learn some new stamping techniques, and then have fun choosing some freebies too :o)

But I only have a few openings left in June and July, so email me now!

DSP book offer!

Every year my team and I get together to make one of these. It's a Designer-Series Paper Sampler Book. It contains a 4" x 4" square of each of the Designer Series papers. It's great to see the papers "in the flesh". I've had a few comments from customers that they would like one of these too, so I thought I'd see if there was any interest (this is open to Demonstrators not on my team too). The book is $25 (postage to you will be $5.50). I need 18 people for this to go ahead and places are strictly limited, so let me know if you would like one!

It's been great answering all your questions about joining Stampin' Up! this week. Who knew that so many of you would come out of the woodwork?! I've also been getting together with a few of you over a cuppa to answer your questions. If you'd like to do that, just drop me a line and we can sort out a time. It really is a great time to join. You may also like to watch the "First Impressions" video, which has just been made available online HERE

A No-Brainer...

What if I told you that you can join a special Stampers Club. If you join this club, you get access to a website with tons of inspiration, an online forum of other friendly stampers, monthly team meetings, full-colour monthly newsletters, at least 20% off all your stamping supplies (30% off in your first order), plus you can attend all my classes for half price.


It will cost you $150 to join (for this month only), but for that, you will get a stamp set ($77.95 value), a Simply Scrappin' Kit, 12x12 Textured cardstock, an inkpad and Craft and Rubber Scissors. That's all worth over $180.

You also get some business supplies to get you started: Idea Book & Catalogue (8), Getting Started DVD, Getting Started Guide, Guest Invitation Postcard (100), To My Hostess Envelope (10), Project Sample Sheet, Recruit Brochures (20), Hostess Brochure (20), Hostess Benefits Form (10), Customer Order Form (50).

If you decide you no longer want to be a member, you get to keep everything, and simply go back to being a customer. You don't have to meet any sales requirements until the end of September, and then it's a very manageable $550 (incl. GST) per quarter.

What are you waiting for?? It really is a No-Brainer. You have absolutely nothing to lose.

Send me an email now, and I'd love to help you join my team!

When should I join?

I often get asked when the is best time to join Stampin' Up! Obviously, the answer is always now! LOL
All jokes aside, if I had to choose the best month to sign up in, it would be October.
Why?
  • It's the start of a quarter, so there are no sales quotas to meet until the end of March.
  • Lots of people are purchasing for Christmas, so it's easy to make your quota, and after that there's Sale-a-Bration, which makes it even easier.
  • You'll get the new Summer Mini Catalogue mailed directly to you this month, and you'll be able to pre-order in November.
  • You'll get the Sale-a-Bration Catalogue mailed directly to you in November, and you'll be able to pre-order in December.
  • You'll get the new Catalogue mailed directly to you in March.
  • When it's time to meet your second quota, there will be a new Catalogue out to choose from!
  • You will be eligible to attend the fabulous Stampin' Up! Convention in Canberra in May.
  • Stampin' Up! has a program called Stampin' Start, and you can earn up to 15 free stamp sets in your first 6 months as a Demonstrator. Signing up in October gives you the best 6 months to take advantage of this program. Plus, you will earn extra free stamp sets during Sale-a bration!

Some of the many advantages of being a demonstrator are:

  • The great value Starter Kit. You get nearly $600 in products for only $324, and you get everything you need to get started with Stamping. You can even choose your stamp sets and colours.
  • You will have the opportunity to earn lots of Stamp Sets for FREE!
  • You get access to the Demonstrator Website, which has heaps of fantastic ideas.
  • All the new catalogues and mini Catalogues will be mailed directly to you, at no cost.
  • You will receive a full colour monthly newsletter from Stampin’ Up! with lots of ideas in it.
  • You'll be able to buy all your supplies at a discount. Your first order over $300 (placed within 45 days of joining) will be 30% off, and then it’s 20% discount after that. Also, for any orders that you place over $300, you qualify for free product and a free hostess stamp set. You will also be paid monthly commissions, depending on the volume of your orders.
  • In the first quarter that you sign up, there are no sales requirements.
  • There are no Annual fees, and there are no penalties for dropping out.
  • If you join my team you will have access to a fantastic on-line forum, Yahoo group and regular team meetings.
  • I can even do your first workshop for you, to get you off to a great start.
  • I will give you a Welcome pack to get you up and running smoothly.
  • As a bonus, if you sign up with me, you can attend my classes at a discounted price!

Whether you want to buy at a discount, make your hobby self-supporting, or earn some extra income, Stampin’ Up! can be tailored to suit your needs.
Have I convinced you that October is the best time to join yet?? If you need more convincing, I have an extra little bonus for anyone who joins my team in October, but you'll have to email me to find out what it is!

Me at work!

Well, if this isn't a good advertisement for becoming a Stampin' up! Demonstrator, I don't know what is!
This is me at work! Did I tell you I LOVE my job?? One of my customers took this pic of me and my dog Coco (in his spiffy denim jacket) at one of my classes last week. Coco is a BIG help at my classes, meeting and greeting guests and making them feel welcome.
I feel so lucky that I am able to do what I love and share it with others....that I can make money from it (and cuddle my dog at the same time) is the icing on the cake.
I joined Stampin' Up in May 2006, when they were offering $25 off the Starter Kit. To spend $299 on products that I love was an easy decision, and I had no idea at the time of the adventure I was about to embark on. I was working part-time in a job I disliked, and my aim when I joined Stampin' Up! was purely to make my hobby self-supporting. It has gone way beyond that (I am still pinching myself that next month I get to go on Incentive Trip!) and now I can't imagine ever doing anything else.
Let me tell you 10 reasons why now is a fabulous time to join me on this adventure
  1. The Starter Kit is only $299 for over $560 worth of products. Read about this month's promotion HERE
  2. It is the start of the quarter, meaning you have until December 31 to meet your first Sales quota.
  3. A new mini catalogue is about to start, which is packed with gorgeous stuff that people will want to order, and as a Demonstrator, you can order it in July at 20%off!
  4. The next mini catalogue is due to start in December, but as a Demonstrator, you will receive yours in October, with a chance to pre-order in November.
  5. You get to come along to my monthly team meetings, and attend all my classes for half price!
  6. You can join my Team Chat group and meet some lovely ladies and share ideas and business tips.
  7. You will be able to attend Regional training, run by Stampin' Up! later this year
  8. Christmas is just around the corner and all your friends will want to buy stamps to make Christmas cards
  9. You will receive a monthly full colour newsletter from Stampin' Up!
  10. Take a look at that photo of me at work again...that could be you!

Contact me if you have any questions, or if you would like me to mail you an Information pack about joining

June Promotions

It's very exciting that there's not just one, but TWO great promotions for June.

The first one is "eScape":

Remember when you got letters in your mailbox instead of your inbox? On 25 June 2008, Stampin' Up! is taking the day to unplug and unwind, and reconnect on a personal level with friends and loved ones through handmade cards. And we invite you to eScape with us throughout the month of June!

I just love this idea. Nothing makes my day more than opening the mailbox to find a hand-made card, and I think we all need a gentle reminder every so often to break away from the "e".

The second Promotion is "Extra, Extra":
Marelle Taylor Stampin' Up! AustraliaI know my Hostesses who have already booked a Party between June 1 and July 15 will be thrilled about this promotion. Who wouldn't be happy about having an extra $50 to spend?!
I still have a couple of spots available, if you'd like to invite a few friends over to your house to see a free stamping demonstration in your home. I make a few projects on the day, which you also get to keep, and all of your guests make a card to take home. It's a really fun way to spend a couple of hours. I do in-home demonstrations at all times, mid-week, plus weekends.

Email me, if you'd like to join the fun!

My New Favourite Number!

14

I was very excited to find a "Demonstrator of the Year" pin in my Convention bag, which meant that I was one of the top 25 Demonstrators in Australia. At the Awards Dinner on Saturday night, I found out I was ranked at number 14, which I was absolutely thrilled with! I also received a pin for Level 2 Recruiting (10-14 Recruits in the last year) another one for the 50K Sales Award and also for earning the Incentive Trip (an all-expenses paid holiday for 2 to Palm Cove). I also came home with 8 free stamp sets for my efforts!
It was such an awesome weekend. I met and re-met so many lovely Demonstrators (a special Hi to my Pin Twin Sarah!), received lots of amazing swaps, listened to some inspiring speakers and generally had an absolute ball! What could be better than spending a weekend with 300 like-minded people?? Next year's Convention is in Canberra (dates yet to be announced) and I would thoroughly recommend it!
I'll be back later with a pic of my swap!

So Long, Farewell... the Retirement List is Here!

Stampin' Up! have released the list a few days early...and it's enormous! While it's sad to see so many lovely products disappear forever, it leaves lots of room for beautiful new Stamps and Accessories on April 1st. One lesson we learnt last year was that these products disappear quickly...in fact, some are sold out already! So, if there is anything you have your heart set on, get in quickly!
To my customers, I am offering 10% off all Retiring Stamp Sets and Wheels. So, grab your catalogue and your wishlist to see what you just can't live without! And the great news is, if you place your order for $100 or more in February, you earn a FREE Sale-a-Bration set too.
If you receive my Newsletter, you should have your copy already, but if you would like a copy of the Retirement List, just email me now!

Finding a Perfect Fit

When I joined Stampin' Up (waaay back in May last year), I ummm-ed and ahh-ed, and did all the should-I-shouldn't-I's that I think everyone does when they make this decision. What silly me didn't realise was that I was asking myself the wrong question! Of course I should join...that's an easy decision to make. What did I have to lose? I buy the starter kit, and get all these great products that I really want for nearly half price...it's a no-brainer. The bigger decision (and one that I never even thought to ask myself) was who should I sign up under? Lucky me fell on my feet, and I happen to have the most awesome Upline (Hi Ange!), but I shudder to think what would have happened if I'd signed up Direct to Company (which you could do back then), or under someone else.
So, if you're thinking of signing up, do your research! Some things you may like to think about are:

  1. How important is locality to you? If you aren't on the computer a lot, and learn better face-to-face, you'll want to find an Upline who lives nearby.
  2. Personality match! If possible, meet your potential Upline in person and see if you click.
  3. Stamping Finesse. If you want an Upline that you can learn Stamping skills from, find someone whose style you admire.
  4. Business Wise. If you do want to make money from this, find an Upline who has success in her own business, so you have footsteps to follow in.
  5. Group Support. If you want to make new stamping friends, look for an Upline with strong team support, such as team meetings or a forum.

I get a lot of emails from other Demonstrators, bemoaning their own lack of Upline Support, so learn from their mistakes, and make sure you find a Perfect Fit!
Oh, and by the way, I have the best promotion ever for signing up this month ;-)

Email me to find out what it is!

This is only available from me, and your paperwork must reach SU! offices (with your ABN) by November 30. Send me an email if you'd like an Obligation-free Information Pack.

How simple are these? This was one of my Stamp-a-Stack designs this month...just what the doctor ordered at this time of year when life is so busy. No layering, no tape, just stamps. To make it even quicker and easier, I've used Stampin' Up!'s Whisper White A6 cards and C6 envelopes. They come pre-cut and pre-scored, so it's all done for you. You get a pack of 20 for $11.50, and you can see them on page 138 of the Catty.
All I've done here is ink up my background stamp (from Looks Like Spring), stamped off once onto scrap paper, and then rock'n'rolled in the same colour ink to get a darker border around the edges. Then I masked off the bottom of the card with a Sticky note, and stamped Both Way Blossoms (Level 2 Hostess set) in Basic Black. I coloured with Markers, and stamped a greeting on the bottom. Done! Next time I'll show you the matching Card wallet I designed to put this set in. It makes a lovely gift.
The colours I've used are Almost Amethyst, Pretty in Pink, Apricot Appeal, and Barely Banana.

  • The great value Starter Kit. All of the items are roughly half price, and you get everything you need to get started with Stamping. You can even choose your stamp sets and colours.
  • You will have the opportunity to earn lots of Stamp Sets for FREE!
  • You get access to the Demonstrator Website, which has heaps of fantastic ideas.
  • All the new catalogues and mini Catalogues will be mailed directly to you, at no cost.
  • You will receive a full colour monthly newsletter from Stampin’ Up! with lots of ideas in it.
  • You'll be able to buy all your supplies at a discount. Your first order over $300 (placed within 45 days of joining) will be 30% off, and then it’s 20% discount after that. Also, for any orders that you place over $300, you qualify for free product and a free hostess stamp set. You will also be paid monthly commissions, depending on the volume of your orders.
  • In the first quarter that you sign up, there are no sales requirements.
  • There are no Annual fees, and there are no penalties for dropping out.
  • If you join my team you will have access to a fantastic on-line forum, Yahoo group and regular team meetings
  • I'll do your first workshop for you, to get you off to a great start
  • As a bonus, if you sign up with me, you can attend my classes for half price!

Stampin’ Up! is a flexible, fun business that you can build to suit your own needs. If any of these ideas appeals to you, ask me for more information about becoming a demonstrator!
I'm happy to send out a Demonstrator Information Pack at no cost and no obligation.

I'll have a card to show you later on today!
