What's coming up?

Classes and Events

I would love to hear from everyone as to what type of events/classes they are interested and when is a good time of the day/week for everyone.

I have been offering a card class once a month.
You make approx. 3 cards for either $12 or free with an order of $25 before shipping and taxes. And that has been going well..
 
I am looking at offering an new event.
A Card Buffet.
You will make 8 cards for $20 with the option of making more at $2 each.
You will be able to choose from a variety of cards.
There will be a 3 hour time frame to complete the cards. You will only need to bring adhesive a small tool kit(scissors, paper trimmer, bone folder if you have one).
 
For the scrapbookers, I have a great little 6x6 mini scrapbook that you can make in one session.
Pricing will follow but you will be able to carry over the techniques to other projects.
 
We can also do a Scrapbook Buffet.
I have to work out the details but you would have a choice of layouts to complete from a series of preset pages. Time frame may be longer.

I am also up for suggestions.

Stampin Up Clubs are often run by Stampin Up demos and I looking to see if anyone is interested in joining.
You would need a commitment to purchasing a min. set amount of Stampin Up products each month. In return I would hold a free class and each month one member would receive the hostess benefits.
The magic number is $200 in purchase(before shipping and taxes) for the members to reach each month.
So, if there are 8 members, the club would run for 8 months and you would need to purchase a min of $25 each month. 6 members, 6 months, $33 in purchase. 
And for the month you are the hostess I do recommend getting some outside orders to increase your rewards.
I will hold the club events at my home on a set day, if you can't make it is ok you just need to give me your order by that evening.


If you are interested in more details or attending one of these events, please let me know.

National Scrapbooking Promo

Just a reminder that the promotion for National Scrapbooking Month is ending on May 31.

There are some great stamp sets and digital sets on sale. Just click on the link on the side for more info.

And the best promotion is that you can join Stampin Up as a demonstrator for only $150.50 this month only. That includes taxes and shipping.

This is for the digital starter kit only, but it does include stamps, inks, cardstock and so much more.

By joining Stampin Up you can start your own business or just buy Stampin Up at a reduced cost and enjoy all the benefits.
Demonstrators receive 20% discount on all orders.
One great benefits at this time of year is that the new catalog will be out on July first. All demonstrators will have access to the new catalog as of June 1st.

Your only requirement is to place a min. of $400 in orders each quarter(this is the catalog price not you discounted price so you really pay much less).  If you join in May your first quarter will actually end Sept. 30. Stampin Up wants to give you a full quarter to meet these requirements.
This is after the release of the Fall/Winter Mini catalog, so you will be able to purchase from that catalog also.
You will also receive 30% off your first order if it is over $200 and all orders are eligible for hostess benefits.

If you only want the discount and not to have a business that is OK. As Stampin Up takes care of all the taxes and requirements that way for hobby demos. No need to register as a business. And you only have to file business income tax if you sell to others for a profit.

If you want a part-time or full-time business that is great. I can help you.
Stampin Up demonstrator have the opportunity to earn other great rewards from Stampin Up, including free products, cash rewards and even free trips.

If you have any questions or want to join just drop me an email or give me a call and I can answer all of your questions.

Keep your eye on the blog as I will be updating it regularly.
