Have you checked out Stampin’ Up!’s new ink pads yet?  They are wonderful!  Here are some of the ways they’ve been improved:

1.  Easier to open.  You now just flip up the lid (like opening a compact) and slide it back over the base.  Easy peasy.
2. The lids have a much tighter fit.  This means the lids won’t pop off as easily as before.  They’re a little harder to open at first but they’ll loosen a bit as you use them.
3. The ink pads are stackable.  The bottoms of the ink pads have tiny little knobs in the corners and the tops have little indentations to make them stackable.
4. The ink pads are slightly smaller in size.
5. The ink has a defoamer in it so that you will get a cleaner, crisper stamped image.

Now that I’ve shared with you how wonderful these new ink pads are let me share with you some exciting news!  You can get a FREE color family of 10 new ink pads when you sign up to be a demonstrator during the month of July!  That’s right!  Not only will you get to choose $125 of merchandise for only $99 with your starter kit but you will also get to choose a color family of ink pads that you will get for free also!  Now that is a great deal!  Oh….before I forget to tell you….the shipping is FREE on your Starter Kit!  Woo Hoo!

The great thing about being a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator is that you can be whatever type of demonstrator you’d like.

You can be a Hobby Demonstrator who is just interested in the 20% discount on all Stampin’ Up! products and the early access to those great products.

You can be a Demonstrator who wants to earn a little extra money for your family and work the hours that fit into your family’s schedule.

You can be a Demonstrator who does it all.  Recruit, Sell, Promote.  Earn a trip to Thailand or the Greek Isles.

The beauty of being a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator is that you can DO IT YOUR WAY!  Do it just for the discount or run a business your way.  It’s all up to YOU!

Don’t forget that as a demonstrator you have the opportunity to attend Stampin’ Up! events with your fellow demonstrators.  (One of my favorite parts!).  The next event is a big 30th Anniversary event in Orlando, Florida in November.  Registration for that begins August 14th so become a demonstrator today so you can join us for the fun!  🙂

I would love to have you join my team of SASsy Stampers!  Please contact me with any questions you may have on this great opportunity.  The free ink pad special is only available through July 31st so don’t miss out.  If you’re ready to sign up today simply click here!

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!

Stampin’ Up!’s fabulous new 2018-2019 Annual Catalog went live at noon (MT) on Friday!  Woo Hoo!  Did you get your order placed?  I’m still working on mine but will definitely get it in on Monday morning with expedited shipping so I can start playing with my new toys!

If you haven’t checked out the catalog yet you can click on the picture of the catalog at the right of this post or just click here.

Check out this fun video that Stampin’ Up! posted showing some of the new products:

Let me know if you’d like your very own hard copy of the catalog.  Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!

The new 2018-2019 Annual Catalog is all about color.  Not only do we have some fabulous new and bright In-Colors this year but the 4 Color Families have gone through a complete revamp!  Woo Hoo!  New colors!  New color combinations!  This is great!

Sometimes it’s sad to see things retire and go away but I have to admit that of the 13 core colors that are retiring I’m not going to really miss any of them.  I’m really excited about the new colors, especially some of the old In-Colors that are now core colors.  Coastal Cabana!  Blackberry Bliss and Mossy Meadow!  Woo Hoo!

I know that you’re going to love the color revamp and all of these new colors.  But where do you begin?

Below you can see a picture of the new and re-organized color families.  The colors with “pins” in them are all of the new colors including the returning, retired In-Colors.  Did you notice that the Neutrals Family now includes some colors other than black, gray, brown, white and vanilla?  Stampin’ Up! has moved Black, White and Vanilla into their own little group called Basics.

What do you think?  Aren’t these new colors fabulous?  Which one is going to be your new favorite?  I’m going to have to play with them a bit before a make a final decision….

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!

I spent last weekend in Las Vegas, NV for Stampin’ Up!’s On Stage event.  As usual, I had a grand time with my friends, met new friends, learned things and most importantly saw a new catalog.  The new catalog I saw was the 2018-2019 Annual Catalog.  All I can saw is WOW!  Ok…maybe I’ll add AMAZING to that.  The catalog is gorgeous and full of fun and exciting projects.

One of the fabulous things I saw in the new catalog and learned at the event is that Stampin’ Up! is going to have a Color Revamp in the new catalog.  Woo Hoo!  I’ve been waiting for this!  Some of the current colors are a little dull and drab and needed to go.  I am SO excited about the new colors.  Actually there are 8 brand new colors we’ve never had before and 6 returning past In-Colors.  As you can see from the card above, Mint Macaron is one of the returning In-Colors.  The peachy color is one of the new 2018-2020 In-Colors, Grapefruit Grove.

Stampin’ Up! will also be changing the ink pads and the ink formulas to make it easier to open the ink pads and give us better stamped images.  Usually I don’t really like too much change but in this case I can’t wait!

In the new catalog you will also find tons of new Stampin’ Blends colors, new stamp sets, ribbons, embellishments and gorgeous papers.

Speaking of gorgeous papers, did you notice the designer paper in the card sample above?  That is from the Share What You Love Specialty Designer Series Paper pack.  Many of the designer papers in the new catalog are bold and colorful like the patterns you see above.

Are you ready for the new catalog?  I know I am!  If you’d like a free copy of the catalog when they become available leave a comment below or send me an email at cindy@stampbystampcreations.com.

Take care and Happy Stamping!

Do you want to know what the absolute BEST deal of Sale-a-bration is?

No, it’s not the fact the you can choose any item from the Sale-a-bration for FREE when you place a $50 order….although who doesn’t LOVE free stuff?!

The absolute best deal of Sale-a-bration is……a 20% discount on ALL Stampin’ Up! purchases!  20%!  Woo Hoo!  Yep….you too can get a 20% discount on all Stampin’ Up! purchases!

By becoming a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator you can receive a 20% discount on ALL Stampin’ Up! products.  How great is that?

The Demonstrator Starter Kit is only $99.  When you purchase the Starter Kit you get to CHOOSE $125 in merchandise…anything you want from both the Occasions Catalog and the Annual Catalog….but that’s not all!  During Sale-a-bration you can also choose 2 additional stamp sets of ANY value (that could be up to a $101 value!)

What I LOVE about being a demonstrator:

• NEW FRIENDS!  I love meeting new people whether they are fellow demonstrators or new customers.  These people I’ve met through Stampin’ Up! have become some of my best friends.
• NEW PRODUCTS!  I love being one of the first to see new products and new catalogs.  It’s kind of like Christmas when a new catalog comes out.
• TRAVEL!  I love to travel with Stampin’ Up!.  Going to events with my fellow demonstrators or traveling to Thailand with my husband on a Stampin’ Up! trip.  It’s so much fun!  Right now I’m working on earning the Greek Isles Trip since my 60th birthday falls during it!  🙂
• EXTRA CASH!  It’s great to be able to make a little extra cash doing something I love.
• FLEXIBILITY!  I can do as many or as few classes/parties as I’d like whenever they work out for me.
• DISCOUNT!  I certainly can’t leave this one out!  I LOVE my 25% discount.  Yes, I earn a 25% discount because of the level I’m at and you can too.  Everyone starts with a 20% discount.

I love sharing what I love and I love to help you share that with others.  Being a demonstrator doesn’t have to mean holding parties and/or classes.  You can be the kind of demonstrator you want to be.  You can sign up exclusively for the 20% discount.   Most of my team are discount demonstrators and that’s okay.  It’s also okay to have some goals and reach for the stars.

Be whatever kind of demonstrator you’d like to be.  There is a $300 quarterly sales minimum that you need to reach every quarter but if you are making cards or scrapbooks or other paper crafts it shouldn’t be hard.  Everything that you purchase counts towards this amount.  You can always invite a few friends to help you meet that minimum.

If you’ve ever thought about that 20% Sale-a-bration is definitely the time to give being a demonstrator a try.  I’d love to have you on my team!  We try to get together every month or just to chat and make some projects.  We’d love to have you join us.

To sign up as a demonstrator simply go to my website and click on JOIN THE FUN!  You’ll need your Social Security Number, your bank account number (for direct deposits) as well as a credit/debit card number.

Please contact me with any questions you may have.  Become a SASSY STAMPER!  You won’t regret it!  🙂
