Happy New Year - Class schedule

Happy New Year to you, and I'm sure 2021 will be a more satisfying year than 2020. Hopefully COVID-19 will be controlled and life will return to normal. In Melbourne we were happy to gather our clan together for an early celebration on 20th December so they can spend the actual day with the d-i-ls' families. We began this tradition nearly 20 years ago when girlfriends first began coming for Christmas, and my in-laws had passed on. This year my husband and I had a quiet day at home before heading into the city for a look at the lights.

Now for some Stampin' Up! news.

January 5th is the beginning of a new mini catalogue, which is current until 30 June. I am hoping to have delivered catalogues to everyone who has ordered during 2020 by now, sometimes life gets in the way, but I'll do my best. If you don't receive one and would like one, you just need to let me know your name and address. I'm sure you'll love something in the catalogue and I'm  happy to post anywhere in Australia. Send an email stating 'catalogue please' to rpalmieri5@bigpond.com or text the info to 0417 500 681.

Through January and February, SALE-A-Bration runs alongside the new catty. Usually it would include March, but Stampin' Up! are always revising their marketing strategies, and I think this shorter period is a good one. SAB is a great time to hold a party with your crafty, and not so crafty friends! You're on holiday, you love to have friends over for coffee and cake, or something bubbly. Why not make a card together while I share some Stampin' Up! products.

Any orders which reach $90 earn a level 1 SAB reward, so your friends may also get a free stamp set or pattern paper, while building your party total to earn you host rewards. You can use host rewards to buy catalogue products from either the Annual range or the Mini. You are also able to order one or more of the exclusive hostess stamps or put that amount toward a starter kit. We can talk about this along with the type of card you'd like to make together, just arrange a time to chat with me. Stampin' Up! is my full-time job, so I can be available for parties, or classes almost anytime.

SALE-A-Bration

What is SALE-A-Bration (SAB)? It's a promotion run by Stampin' Up! to start the year off with free products with your order. There is a separate booklet which shows the product available, along with some pictures showing how to use it with product from the mini and Annual catalogues. There are stamp sets with sentiments, some with just images and some where there is a mix of both. There are beautiful DSP's, a couple are 12" x 12" and another is 6" x 6". $90 entitles you to a level 1 choice, $180 allows you either a Level 2 choice or two level 1. 

Everything is available for just 2 months this year, it's never put on Clearance, so they are just a bit more special.

Stampin' Cut & Emboss regular and Mini.

The regular Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine has been available for a while, but we were waiting on the Mini to be shipped to all markets. It is available from January 5th.

You can see them on page 74 of the mini Catalogue.

Classes

January - Berry Delightful

With a focus on two-step stamping, and using builder punches economically, we will create 2 cards using Sweet Strawberry stamp and the Strawberry Builder Punch plus Berry Blessings and Berry Delightful Designer series paper.

The 3rd card is a mystery card using products from the SALE-A-Bration selection.

I am trialing 2 daytime sessions in the one week to accommodate customers different requirements, and it will also allow for social distancing. If these times don't suit, please get in touch and we can see what can be arranged. A one-off class for a couple of friends (or more) can also be arranged. Maybe you'd like to see the Stamparatus in action, or a technique demonstrated.
