A Rose Is A Rose - Stamps in the Mail is coming!

STAMPERS WANTED -- *** UPDATED***

March marks the first round of Stamps in the Mail! This is an incredible program for new & seasoned stampers. If you have never stamped before, you will see just how fun stamping can be in the comfort of your home with very little supplies. If you are a seasoned stampers, you will enjoy having everything (except the stamping and assembling) ready for you. Both will learn just how versatile a stamp set can be!

Here are the details: It costs $40 a month - for 3 months to be a member. You will average about $30 in product every month. By the end of the 3rd month, you will stamp 12 projects using 1 stamp set (you will also gain $90 in product total)- some 3D, some cards, etc. The other $10 a month goes towards other supplies and shipping all product to you! Everything is pre-cut and pre-scored as needed.

The first month, you will receive the "A Rose Is A Rose" stamp set - you will use this stamp set - over the 3 months. This shipment you will get from Stampin' Up! (In the next two months, you will build up your accessories - I will let you know what I will use 1 month prior, if you own any of it, just substitute for something else in the catalog of equal price or less.)

I will then ship you EVERYTHING else you need to complete the projects. You will receive an email copy of the step-by-step directions.

If you are interested in joining this, you must RSVP to me by February 24th! I must have payment by March 2nd as I will be placing the orders for the stamp sets on March 3rd. I will have all the materials you need for the projects by the time your product ships to your door (please note with Sale-A-Bration, shipping times might be longer than normal). One of the perks of joining Stamps in the Mail is that I offer you 20% off any other products you wish to add to your "Stampin' Up! order." Email me and we will get you signed up!

May marks the start of a new round. I will be using Friends 24-7!

Referral Program

Hello All!

I wanted to let you know about my referral program. I am trying to meet as many people as I can from now until June! With that, I am going to give EVERYONE that refers a friend to me (that friend either has to be new to me AND book a workshop or place a $50 or more order with me) with a $25 credit (or a $25.95 stamp set or less) with me in Stampin' Up! products.

If your friend signs to be a demonstrator under me - you will get a $50 gift certificate OR any stamp set in the catalog!

I need your help! I can't grow my business without you! Tell them to tell me that YOU sent them, so I know who to give the credit to!

Thank you in advance!

Workshop Card!

Yesterday we had a blast at Rebeckah's workshop. We did two cards - 1 for Valentine's Day and 1 "Any Occasion" card. I don't want to reveal the "Any" card until tomorrow or so because I loved it so much, it became my Shoebox Swap! LOL!

I wanted to post this Valentine's Day card to give you ideas that are simple and elegant using the Love You Much Bundle. I love this card for it's simplicity and it's colors! Did you get your bundle yet? You have until January 31st to get it at a discount. The stamp set, Candy Lane Designer Paper (YUM!! I could lick it! - That just means I really LOVE that paper!) and the Heart to Heart Punch are included in the bundle. It's a must have!

You can shop at my website, 24/7 - http://mamaschroeg.stampinup.net

Here is the "bling-bling" version. I try to have two versions of the same card on hand to show customers that just a few accessories can add so much to a card! Instead of using chalks, I used markers to color LOVE - as in I LOVE STAMPIN' UP! I added Dazzling Diamonds and a Flower Brad. If you look at the close-up of the flower brad, I dyed the grooves. I did this with craft ink! I wiped off the brad with a paper towel and heat set the wet ink in the grooves with my Heat Tool. I was even going to fill each petal of the flower with Crystal effects to see what that would look like. But I was running out of time. The ladies seemed to really like this card!

Stampin' Up! does currently have flower brads in BEAUTIFUL colors as well but I haven't received my box of goodies yet, so I couldn't add them to the card. I am so itchy for my new stuff, I can hardly stand it! I don't even have a ship date yet :( Well, they say patience is a virtue. I am not very virtuous today or any other day but I guess I have to learn!! LOL!!

Birthday Box

Happy Birthday! This box was made for my club tonight! I had mentioned that I was making this today and my new friend Terri (her birthday is in October) thought it was sweet that I was thinking of her... So Terri! This box is for you!!

Hopefully her delusion is over now... honestly it's my birthday month! I wanted to make 1 birthday item since we are mostly doing Valentine projects! I hope my club members like it :)

What do you think? Are you interested in joining a club? I have many to chose from... even a "club at home" - for those that live far away! Think about it! I promise it's worth you time and money!! Contact me if you are interested!

A Heart-Shaped Window

WOW!! After an outstanding Leadership Conference, I have been working feverishly to get things back to normal! I have so much spinning in my brain!!

At any rate, I had an idea based on some of the things that I have seen at Leadership and other places. This little pillow box is filled with Conversation Hearts. It fits almost the entire box! All I did was punch the Heart to Heart punch to make the window in the box. I then covered the window with a piece Stampin' Up!'s transparent envelopes!! I tied the box closed with Real Red and Pretty In Pink 1/4" ribbon. The tag is made with a phrase from Love You Owl-ways - stamped in Real Red on Whisper White Card stock! Easy peasy!!

You can get that punch in the Love You Much Bundle. It's on sale for $41.48 and includes the Love You Much Stamp set, Heart to Heart Punch and the new Candy Lane Double-Sided Designer Paper. Oh what a fabulous set! Now, if you purchase the bundle, I have a class at the end of the month for $5 called the Love You Much Portfolio. You will make the portfolio and the 4 cards it holds! WOO HOO!!

Shop online at my website - 24/7!: http://mamaschroeg.stampinup.net

If you live far away, no worries! I will make you a deal - shipping you the additional cut paper and accessories you need - an additional $6 will apply for shipping costs!
