November Class and Event list is ready!

classes

We just wanted to make sure you all knew that our November Class and Event list is now available!  The best way to see it all in one place, is to go to the November Classes and Events tab at the top of this page.  You are able to click on the "RSVP" word for the classes you are interested in and it will immediately send us an email to reserve your spot. We are excited to offer classes in some of our more popular formats!  The long awaited Christmas ornament class (from the cover of the Holiday catalog (on the right) is finally scheduled - but we expect these classes to fill quickly, so if you are interested, please RSVP right away.  We are also excited to offer the Carry Out Collection for November (although we are still running a few of the "perfect polka dots" collection classes, this is a carry over from last month).  The November collection features a great Designer Series Paper from our Annual catalog, called "Be of Good Cheer" and the 7/8" cotton ribbon from the Holiday Catalog - again, look for this under the November Classes and Events tab above. 

It is important that you RSVP for those classes as soon as you think a date will work for you, as we actually order a full set of items for each attendee, and you get to take the "left-overs" home!

If you ever see a class that you would love to take, but the time or date just didn't work for you, please be sure to drop us an email and let us know!  Often we have individuals contact us for these and we do try to find a time/date that we can re-run a class!  Also please remember, if you have 5 people who would like to take a class, we will schedule a private class for you, and host you at one of our homes, or even come to you!

events

If you would like to see some of these class projects in person, or if you just would like to come out and support us, we would love to see you at one of our many upcoming events.  Beth and I will be at a very special event on Wednesday, November 14 (from 5-8 at the Darien Sportsplex - upstairs), that benefits a non-profit organization that supports children with disabilities.  A percentage of all of our sales of our merchandise (and catalog orders) will go back to this amazing organization.... So please stop by and support us and the other vendors who will also be donation a percentage!  This upcoming weekend (Nov. 17 and 18) is also a busy one for us!  On Saturday we will be at the Dickens of a Holiday Craft show at the Darien Park District Community Center from 9am - 3pm, and on Sunday you can find us at the Holly Days Gift Bazaar at the Westmont Community Center from 9 am - 3pm...  Again, we will have projects and samples from upcoming classes there for you to see!

Holiday Stamp a Stack sneak preview

Hello, Holidays!  It certainly is beginning to smell like the holidays around here!  I was embossing tonight with the new Stampin' Up! Sugar and Spice scented embossing powder!  It smells like those yummy cinnamon almonds you get in the mall this time of year...  hard to walk past - that is for sure...

We've been prepping for our Holiday Stamp a Stack that will be running this week!  We got one of these ideas from a video from another demonstrator, and the other of these ideas from a couple of samples we saw on Stampin' Connection.  Stampin' Connection is a private website chock-full of ideas exclusively for Stampin' Up Demonstrators...  Have you ever thought about becoming a demonstrator?  Well, now is the time to jump if you have... in addition to access to the amazing Stampin' Connection website, you will get a bi-monthly magazine, discounts, specials, and sneak previews... This month you even get a whole color family of Ink Pads just for joining our team!  There is no obligation to continue, although I bet you will find it fun, so give us a try... you have nothing to lose, and a whole family of ink pads to gain...  Give us a try!!

Here is a sneak peek of two of the four cards that will be made in our Holiday Stamp a Stack running this week:

This class will be offered Tuesday at 10am, or Thursday at 7pm.  Just click on the day and time that you would like to attend, and you can send us the email to confirm!    Again, you will be making 2 each of 4 different designs, and go home with 8 cards and envelopes ready to send - all this for only $15!  Hope to see you this week!

INK-redible Offer from Stampin' Up!

There was an INK-redible offer posted by Stampin' Up! yesterday, and Beth and I wanted to let you know right away.  There are two different ways you can earn an entire color family of the amazing Stampin' Up! ink pads (that is 10 pads, at a $49.95 value!)!!  You can choose your favorites - Brights, Subtles, or Regals (neutrals  and In-Colors are not included). 

The first way, is to join the fun!  Beth and I would LOVE to have you join our team and enjoy the many benefits we love about being Stampin' Up demonstrators.  When you join between now and December 16, you will not only get the $125 worth of  YOUR CHOICE of fabulous merchandise and business supplies for just $99, but you will also get to pick your favorite color family and get ALL 10 of the ink pads! You also get benefits from Beth and I, such as $10 off each class we offer for a whole year to help you get inspired and learn all of the super-cool techniques!  (We also have a little gift for you...)

The second way, is to host a fun-filled qualifying stamping workshop with your friends.  What could be easier? Invite a bunch of crafty friends over (we can even do this at our houses), where they will learn a new technique, make a fun card and Holiday tag to take home with them, and enjoy a relaxing evening to browse the catalog and shop!  The holidays are getting closer, and Stampin' Up has some great gift-giving items, and fun packaging options!  Your friends were going to get together for a Holiday lunch and gift exchange anyway, why not shake it up a bit this year?

Please email Amanda or Beth right away for more details on both of these promotions!  Better still, get the best of both worlds... JOIN OUR TEAM and then host all of your friends for a "kick off the holidays" (and kick off your business) Open house, and earn TWO sets of ink pads!  Which colors do you love?

Thanks for stopping by our site!  We are very grateful to you for both your business and your friendships!
