Paper Pumpkin

Here's a fun and exciting new offer from Stampin' Up! The monthly kits will begin shipping in March, but you can sign-up NOW!











I'm Paper Pumpkin . . .

Beginning in March 2013, I will come to your door each month. I'll help you to escape your life with some paper fun.

I come in a sweet box, but you'll really love what you find on the inside:

All the stamps, ink, paper, and accessories to create projects, along with easy to follow instructions. Create stuff like cards, journals, décor, and more! Paper Pumpkin by Stampin' Up! is a new monthly kit program that anyone (even you) can enjoy!

 

Get Started

It's so easy to get started. Simply sign up for the program by visiting www.mypaperpumpkin.com and click "Get it". Every month a new, surprise project kit arrives at your doorstep. Just think of the anticipation of creating a fun project to pin, showoff, and share with your friends and family-every month!

Of course, you'll want to know more. So here's the nitty gritty:

• Each month we send you a unique, surprise kit with a project-cards, journals, décor, and more! (We've even color-coordinated, measured, and cut everything for you!)
• Each kit includes instructions, stamps, ink, paper, and accessories-everything but adhesive.
• Each kit gives you a 30-minute creativity escape.
• We will ship your Paper Pumpkin on or around the 15th of the month.
• You need to sign up for a kit by the 10th of the month to get that month's kit. If you sign up on the 11th of the month, your first kit will come the next month. (Let's say you sign up on May 10th, we'll send your kit around May 15th. If you sign up on May 11th, we'll send your first kit around June 15th.)

Hearts a Flutter

Hi Friends!
I finally had some time to play with the a few new goodies from the Stampin' Up! Spring Catalog! And let me tell you, I am loving it all!

Today I'm showing you a card I made with the new Hearts a Flutter Stamp set and matching Framelit Dies....they are awesome and soooo versatile! I'm sure I can find many ways to use the stamp set and dies besides just for Valentine's Day cards. I also used the new More Amore Specialty Designer Series Paper....adorable and I'm loving that its just not your basic Valentine colors (red, pink and white)! I love the Pool Party touch Stampin Up! has added to it! I finished off the card with some Very Vanilla Seam Binding and Basic Pearls.

Hope you like it! Thanks for looking!

Stampin' Up! -- Best of 25 Years Stamps

As part of our 25-year anniversary celebration, we're bringing back some of our favorite stamp images from the last quarter century and combining them into 12 sets, which will release-one set per month-during 2013.
Even better, along with some great classic images, each "Best of" set will also include a never-before-seen image!
Some things to remember:

• All Best of stamp sets will include 3-5 images, including a never-before seen image, and will be priced at $14.95.
• While we are releasing just one Best of stamp set per month (with a new theme each month), all of the Best of sets will be available until March 31, 2014.
• All Best of stamp sets are available in Clear-Mount only.

As a special incentive to collect the Best of stamps, starting in February we're including a collector's card and 25-year proof of purchase sticker with every Best of set.
Collect six stickers, and send it in to redeem a FREE set of your choice valued up to $14.95!
Free sets must be redeemed no later than April 30, 2014.
Two reminders for ya ...

1. Sale-a-bration starts on January 22nd (less than a week away).
2. If you wait until February to order the Best of Birthdays stamp set .. you'll receive a proof of purchase sticker .. collect six of them and you'll get a free stamp set. These stickers will come from Stampin' Up! ... so please make sure you keep track of them as I will not be able to re-issue them personally.
