So guys, just Thursday & Friday to take advantage of the special joining offer from Stampin' Up!  £99 for £150 worth of product which YOU choose!  Sounds good, huh?

See my post from 19th August for full details and please contact me if you'd like to take advantage of the offer! Tracy x

Special Offer To Join My Team & Stampin' Up!

Ooh!  Hot off the press!  Stampin' Up! have annouced a special Starter Kit offer to join SU - £99 for £150 worth of Stampin' Up! products!

For a very limited time (22^nd-29^th Aug) you will receive £150 worth of Stampin' Up! product for £99 when you sign up as an Independent Stampin' Up! demonstrator!  You can fully customise your starter kit and you can include items from the annual catalogue PLUS pre-order products from the Autumn/Winter book which has some fab Hallowe’en, Thanksgiving & Christmas goodies – this isn’t available for general release until 28^th Aug so you’d get in early!  You also receive £45 worth of Business Supplies like order forms, catalogues etc.

You would get me too!  As your ‘Upline’ (person who introduced you to Stampin’ Up!), you’d automatically join my team, The Inkin’ Tinks, and have my full support for training, tips and anything else I could help you with.  You can join my team from anywhere within the UK - thanks to technology I can still be fully supportive wherever you are!  As an Independent Stampin' Up! demonstator, you are self employed and you will need to register your business with the appropriate tax officials.

The only sales criteria to meet to stay active as a demonstrator is to buy £225 of commissionable product in your first FULL quarter with Stampin' Up! (product you and your customers purchase excluding business supplies - the mimimums are calculated before VAT & shipping costs).  SU quarters are Jan-Mar, Apr-Jun, Jul-Sept, Oct-Dec so by joining in August, you'd have until the end of Dec to meet your minimums.  As this includes Christmas, you may find this quite achievable as there are some great gift ideas and friends may also want to order through you.  After this time, to stay active you need to meet quarterly sales of £225.  If at any time you don’t want to continue, you do nothing and you will go into ‘pending’ at the end of that quarter.  The following month you will be deactivated if you choose not to make your quarterly minimum. 

Of course, we love it when demonstrators choose to continue, either as hobby demonstrators to take advantage of the fantastic discounts (20%) and rewards, occasional demonstrators doing a few classes for friends or as business demos to build a small business and do regular classes and workshops.  There is never any pressure to do anything you don’t want to do – it’s always how you want it to be.  

Please contact me if you'd like to take advantage of this fab offer and join my team or if you'd like any futher information.

It's A Celebration!

There turned out to be a theme to my August Craft Class!  I'm not sure it was intentional but maybe all the weddings at this time of year made me think of celebrations!

I love Everything Eleanor and Smokey Slate so put them together to make this cute gift box using the Envelope Punch Board.  I decided to go summery with the Post-It Note Holders and used Melon Mambo & Tempting Turquoise from the Brights Collection Designer Series Paper Stack.  It's so easy to make thanks to the super versatile Scalloped Tag Topper Punch! Thanks to Pootles for the inspiration for these and to the amazing Liz Shannon of Elizabeth's Craft Room fame (my Stampin' Up! Grandmother!) for the celebration card idea.  Little confession - I didn't make the card in the photo - by 8 year old daughter Maddison did as mine had disappeared when it came to photographing the projects!  She did a great job, don't you think?  Chip off the old block!  The card uses strips of 2014-16 In Colors cardstock embossed with Decorative Dots Embossing Folder.  

 If you'd like to buy these or anything in the current Annual Catalogue or Clearance Rack, please pop over to my shop. x
