Stampin' Up! is offering "12 Days of Holiday Sales" from December 11th through the 22nd.  Even Demonstrators won't know the details ahead of time, but visit my Online Ordering Page daily from Dec 11th-22nd to see what's on sale!

All orders we receive by December 15 will be processed and delivered to our courier in plenty of time to arrive by December 24th. But as you know, we cannot control delivery times; holiday mail volumes are high, and our delivery services encourage customers to ship as early as possible to avoid disappointment.

To place your order now, please visit my Online Ordering Page.

Hope to see you there!

As I mentioned in a previous post, Stampin' Up! Founder Shelli Gardner will be appearing on NBC's TODAY Show on Friday, December 4th.  While we do not know the exact time, we do know she will be on during the fourth hour (the 10 AM hour on the East Coast). Please note: In some markets the fourth hour of the TODAY Show is not shown directly after the first three hours; we recommend you check your local listings by visiting www.nbc.com/local. 

If you'd like to do some of YOUR holiday shopping through Stampin' Up!, please visit my online ordering page.  Happy Shopping!

Exciting news! Shelli Gardner has been invited to appear on NBC’s TODAY Show on December 4th!

Shelli was invited to appear on the TODAY Show in recognition of Stampin’ Up!’s charitable giving over the past few years.  Please check your local listings, and be sure to watch  :-)

Big thanks to Jamie, MariAnn, Cheryl, Becky, & Henriette for bring lots of enthusiasm & fun to my "Twelve Days of Christmas" class yesterday!  We each made twelve beautiful, unique cards similar to the one shown above. 

If you haven't made or purchased your Christmas cards yet, now is the time to get started.  Here are some great options:

• Purchase the "Twelve Days of Christmas" kit to re-create the cards from yesterday's class.  Just $25 for local pick-up or $30 if you need it mailed.  You'll need to provide your own Christmas greeting stamps or rub-ons for the inside, but I'll discount the kit $5 if you purchase an appropriate greeting set from me at the same time.  Must be ordered from me by phone or email no later than 8pm Eastern time on Monday Nov 16th.
• Try our Holiday Photo Card Kit to create your own hand-crafted photo cards, or create your own design with one of our many holiday-themed stamp sets.  Order online anytime, or local customers can add their order to my current workshop order (call or email me by 8pm tomorrow).
• If you just CAN'T find the time to make your own cards this year, you can still send that hand-crafted look by purchasing finished cards from me.  I do not accept online or phone orders, but I will have a large selection of cards & gift packaging available at the Holiday Bazaar on December 5th. 

I'll have a table full of beautiful hand-crafted Christmas items for your shopping pleasure.  Not to mention Stampin' Up! catalogs & gift certificates for the "crafter who has it all".  (Hint: Fill out your Stampin' Up! wish list & send your husband over to shop for you!)

Please email me to be added to the invite list!
