The 2016-2017 Catalog is Here!!!!!

2016_AC_Cover_En-USHave you seen it yet?  It’s FABULOUS!  I know, I know….I say that every year but this catalog really is fantastic.  There are so many wonderful new products!  You really need to check it out!

If you would like your very own hands-on copy be sure to contact me.  I’d love to make sure that you get one.

I thought I knew exactly what I was going to order this morning but I spent a good portion of the day refining my order so I could put it in as soon as I got up this morning.

You’re thinking that I shouldn’t be quite this excited about the new catalog since I’ve been flipping through the pages for over a month now but as of TODAY I can order anything in it that I want.

Luckily my very favorite item in the new catalog was available for me to pre-order so I’ve been able to play with it a little bit.  What is it you ask?  It’s the Pop of Paradise stamp set (pg. 85).  It has a flamingo in it!  For some reason I really like flamingos.  Once you’ve had a chance to look through the catalog you’ll have to let me know what your favorite item is.

Have fun browsing the new catalog.  I know you’ll love it as much as I do.  Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!

Back Again….

What are you going to do with me?!!!  I just can’t seem to stay on top of my blogging.  🙁

20160517_204214 (2)I’ve been in the Canadian wilderness for the past week or so at the family cabin.  It’s SO beautiful up there.  I just LOVE it!  The only draw back to the Canadian wilderness is that it’s…..a wilderness.  No internet!  Yikes!  Once in awhile we can get data and texts on our smart phones but only if we’re lucky.  Actually, it’s not too bad being without the internet but it does make it a bit difficult to stay on top of and run a business…..

DSC_0054 (2)Views like the ones you see here in my post are what make it all worthwhile though….even if it takes us two days by car to get there.

Now that I’m back home though I’m anxious to get back to work.  I haven’t really had a chance to play with my new toys (new stamps, ink pads, etc!).  It’s time to get down to business and create!  Hopefully I’ll get some fun samples done soon to share with you.  Stay tuned!

There’s only a few days left to order from the 2015-2016 Catalog and the 2016 Occasions Catalog.  Don’t miss it!  Place those orders today!  🙂

Have a great day and a safe Memorial Day weekend!

Back From OnStage 2106

13012807_10154145709533966_925708510172677422_nI’m back!  We had another fabulous time in Salt Lake City.  Here’s a picture of (most of) the gals that I hung out with.  Laura, Laura, me, Jan and Janet.

The event didn’t actually start until Thursday afternoon but we went on Wednesday and gathered that evening to make cards.  (What?  Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators making cards?!)  We each brought all the pieces and parts of our cards that were already stamped, die cut and punched.  Then we put together each other’s cards.  It was a lot of fun.  The cards were pretty cute too.  I may have to borrow imagesome of them for a future class!

As always, we had tons of fun together.  Did I mention that we got to see the FABULOUS new catalog that will come out on June 1st?  🙂

I can’t share anything about it yet but I know you’re going to LOVE it!

Be sure to stay tuned all week as I share things from On Stage 2016!  #onstage2016

You Are Going to Want to See This!

Oh my gosh!  You have got to see all of the fabulous items on this week’s Weekly Deals!  The LAST Weekly Deals EVER!  I counted and there are 7 different sets of Framelits on sale!  SEVEN!  You can check out all of the items below.  Just click on an item below to purchase it from my store or go directly to my store here.

I’m definitely going to be making a list.  How about you?  Don’t forget that Monday, April 18th is the absolute last day to order any of these items!

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!

Bye Bye Weekly Deals!

WeeklyDeals_Share-1_Apr0516_NAOh no!  The weekly deals will be gone starting April 18th!  If you love a deal be sure to check out today’s deals here or below.  There are TONS of them!  (The Rose Garden Thinlits are on the list!  Get them now!  I LOVE them!)

Stampin’ Up! started the weekly deals because of excess inventory they wanted to get rid of.  Now they have a new system on the demonstrator web site where we can see what there is excess of so we can promote it and they’ve come up with a better system of dealing with inventory so they don’t have so many excess products.

Don’t miss out on these last few weeks of Weekly Deals!  Don’t worry though.  They are replacing Weekly Deals with a less frequent but better promotion called Special Offers. These Special Offers will occur every few months as inventory allows (the goal is still to reduce overstocked inventory) with more products and discount tiers than Weekly Deals.

Oh…and speaking of deals!  Don’t forget to check out the Clearance Rack!  They’ve added some fun new items from the last Holiday Catalog!  Remember those fun Shaker Cards?  They’re on clearance now!

Don’t miss out!  Check out all of these great deals today!  Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!

Look What I Have!!!

IMG_7739Look what came in the mail yesterday!  I received my name tag for Stampin’ Up!’s upcoming On Stage event!  Woo Hoo!

The On Stage event is what used to be convention.  They’ve changed the name as well as the timing of their events.  The event I’ll be attending in about a week and a half is a multiple day event.  It starts on Thursday afternoon and ends at noon on Saturday.

There will be demonstrations on stage, classes, swapping and best of all….we’ll be able to get our little hands on the new catalog coming out June 1st!  Woo Hoo!  I won’t be able to share it with you until June but I can tell you about it and how fabulous it is.  🙂

I really look forward to these events.  I get to get away for a few days and hang out with my peeps!  We always have a great time.  Maybe you’d like to join us for the next event…..just join my team!  🙂

Have a wonderful day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!

 

Weekly Deals

Did you know that Stampin’ Up! has Weekly Deals?  They do!  Every week there are 4 – 6 items that are on sale.  Who doesn’t love a sale?  This week they have some pretty good stuff on sale.  In fact, my very favorite punch is on sale this week.  The Curvy Corner Punch is on sale!  Woo Hoo!  I just may pick up a second one to have on hand…

There are also some great accessories on sale this week.  Pearl Basic Jewels and the White Perfect accents.  I’ll be doing a little stocking up this week too!

You can check out this week’s great deals here or check them out below.  Just don’t miss out!  Add them to that order you’ve been thinking about placing to bump it up to $50 so that you can get that FREE Sale-a-bration item.  Don’t forget that Sale-a-bration ends next week. Oh, no!

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!

The Retiring 2014-2016 Stampin’Up! colors

f5f7b008-79a9-4185-b147-f28a226a16a7Every year Stampin’ Up! retires the current In-Colors.  Every year these items go FAST!  The ink pads, the card stock, the ribbon, the embellishments and especially, the ink refills.

I really like these colors and am going to miss them.  I’ll especially miss Mossy Meadow and Blackberry Bliss.  They’re such rich colors.

I have my ink pads but I’m going to have to double-check my ink refills and my card stock supplies.  I always like to keep some of these items on hand after they’re gone.

Do you have these colors?  Mossy Meadow, Blackberry Bliss, Tangelo Twist, Lost Lagoon and Hello Honey?  If  you don’t, get them now!  Don’t wait.  Once the retired list comes out in May these items will go fast and they’ll only be available while supplies last.

If you own the ink pads, but don’t own the ink refills order them TODAY!  Ink refills go really fast and your ink pad isn’t going to do you much good if it dries out.

Don’t forget that Sale-a-bration ends soon (3/31).  Stock up on your 2014-2016 In-Color items today and earn a FREE Sale-a-bration item!  It’s a win-win situation!

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!

SASSY Stampers!

Generations.0814

We are the Sassy Stampers and we would love for you to join our team!  Yes, we are sassy but the SAS in sassy stands for Seriously Addicted to Stamping (or as we like to call ourselves, Smart-Ass Stampers).  However you choose to describe us we LOVE to stamp.
I have met some of my dearest friends through stamping and Stampin’ Up! and I can’t imagine my life without them.  The picture here is one “branch” of my team.  On the right you have my upline, Tara, me, my direct downline Andrea, her downline Janet and then Janet’s downline Angela.  We were all together at an event.
The friendships are definitely at the top of the list of why I love being a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator but there are many items on my list.
20% Discount on Stampin’ Up! products.  Woo Hoo!  I love my discount!  Many people become demonstrator just for the discount.  You don’t have to have a team or have a gazillion dollars in sales to be a demonstrator.  As long as you have sales (and yes, whatever you purchase for yourself is included in your sales) of $300 per quarter you will remain an active demonstrator.  This discount is the main reason that many people become demonstrators.  In fact, most everyone on my team are demonstrators only for the discount.  They don’t hold classes, they don’t have parties, they just buy fabulous Stampin’ Up! products for themselves and maybe sell to a few friends.  That’s the beauty of being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator.  You can do things YOUR way!  You can be involved as much as or as little as you’d like.  If you love Stampin’ Up! products and would love that 20% discount….let’s talk.  I’d love to have you join my team.  Contact me today!
Stampin’ Up! Events.  I love Stampin’ Up! events.  I love the excitement.  I love the sneak peek at new products, I love all the samples and ideas I come home with.  I love hanging out with my friends away from home!
Extra Income.  I love the extra income I can earn by being a demonstrator.  I love being able to support my stamping habit as well as having a little extra to spend on me, my family or on whatever I want!
Starter Kit.  Did you know that when you sign up to become a demonstrator and purchase the Starter Kit you get to choose EVERYTHING in it?  Yep!  Everything!  All $155 in merchandise in the kit is what you want, not what someone else thinks you should have.  How great is that?  You also get $50 in business supplies.  A value of $205 for only $99.  Woo Hoo!
If you’re thinking “I can’t believe I haven’t done this yet!” you can just click right here and sign up right now!  If you’re not quite ready, give me a call or send me an email with any questions you may have.  Who doesn’t want to save 20% on all Stampin’ Up! products!  🙂
Do you live outside the Denver area?  You can still be part of our team.  With cell phones, Skype, FaceTime and social media, keeping in touch and helping each other out is EASY!  Join us today!  I’m here for you with any questions you may have.
Take care and Happy Stamping!

#imbringingbirthdaysback

stack#imbringingbirthdaysback.  Have you seen this hashtag on social media?  It’s really big in the stamping world right now.  Shannon West from the Stampin’ Up! home office decided that everyone deserves a hand made birthday card so she created the #imbringingbirthdaysback movement.  You can read her story here.

Like many of my fellow demonstrators I’ve decided to join the movement and I’d like to send a hand made birthday card to anyone who’d like one.  So….if you’d like a hand made birthday card from ME just send me a quick email at cindy@stampbystampcreations.com and let me know your birth date and your mailing address.  If your birthday has already passed in 2016 you can still get a card!

Shannon designed and carved the stamp that you see on the back of the envelopes in the photo above.  Now Stampin’ Up! is producing this stamp and it will be for sale in the near future while supplies last.  They haven’t said yet when it will be available but I will keep you posted.

I can’t wait to start my own #imbringingbirthdays back movement so send me your birth date so I can get started!  Email me at cindy@stampbystampcreations.com so I can send you a card!

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!

Are You Ready for Some Football?

20160206_082825_resizedWoo Hoo!  Today’s the BIG game!  It’s Superbowl 50 and my Denver Broncos are playing!

I’m so glad that the NFL decided not to use Roman Numerals this year for the number of the game for a couple of reasons.  First off, you have to think too hard when trying to figure out if it’s 30 something or whatever.  The second reason of course (and the reason they didn’t do it this year) is that 50 is “L” as in loser.  My Denver Broncos definitely aren’t losers!

002

I made this banner two years ago using the Build a Banner Kit.  I had so much fun making it.  I just hope it brings the Broncos a little better luck this year than it did two years ago.  I’ve got a good feeling about game this year.  It could be Peyton Manning’s last game so I’m hoping he goes out with the big win.  The team is also playing this game for the owner who has Alzheimer’s.

One last thing that you really must check out.  In 2014, Children’s Hospital Colorado had a contest and this was the winning entry.  It’s amazing!  Even if you’re not rooting for my Broncos I think you’ll enjoy the video.  Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!  GO BRONCOS!

Winter Vacation

12592284_10205790498424417_856820556009975821_nWe’ve been up at our time-share in Breckenridge CO all week.  That is why you haven’t heard much from me.  We’ve been having a wonderful time.  My cousin, her husband and daughter were here for the weekend.  Here we are with our beverages by the fire waiting for a table at a restaurant.  Gotta love these mountain towns!

12508988_10205799518809921_6857630877229736425_nThis next picture is a selfie we took (hubby was skiing) on a beautiful walk in the woods up on one of the mountain passes.  The path was packed snow but there was still some soft powder on the side of the paths so we decided we needed to make snow angels!  too fun!

20160125_131537_resized_1 (2)This picture is of my cousin and her daughter.  My cousin was suppose to take a picture of me making a snow angel but unfortunately it didn’t turn out.  Luckily I took a picture of the finished project!  🙂

20160125_131722_resized (2)We definitely had a good time.  We were able to watch the Broncos win and head to Super Bowl 50….Woo Hoo, have fun in the snow and enjoy each other’s company.

Yesterday I enjoyed my annual spa day up here.  I had a mani and pedi.  Lovely!  I went with Broncos Orange and Blue on my toes.  On my fingers I have glittery white with orange glitter.  Too fun!  Go Broncos!

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!

20150130_161408_resizedOne of my favorite items from the Sale-a-bration Brochure is the “What I Love” stamp set.  It’s a three step stamp set meaning it takes three different stamps to make the full flower.  Isn’t this card pretty?  I used this card as a starting point for a card we’re making next week in class.  Be sure to check back next week to see what I came up with.

The great thing about this pretty little stamp set is that you can get it for FREE simply by making a $50 purchase.  You can reach this by purchasing the items used on the friend card above:
