What would I choose for the Stampin' Up! Starter Kit?

The Stampin' Up!® joining offer is always fantastic value and it's even better during Sale-a-Bration.

You pay $169! And you can choose anything from any of the current catalogues.

Here's an idea of what I would choose as a beginner stamper.

A set of the newest In Color Ink Pads (#114081) $47.50

 Add the matching cardstock pack (#144253)  $14.00 and you have a great colour range to start you off.
Some of our Whisper White card stock is a must - it's beautifully smooth and a dream to stamp on.
Whisper White A4 (#106549) for $15.75.

 And then some Memento Black ink (#132708) for crisp images. It's just $10.
Our glue runner or 'snail' (#104332) as we call it is a fast and easy way to adhere layers of cardstock.  It's refillable and costs just $10. 
 Blender Pens (#102845) are a wonder for water colouring and can pick up the ink from any ink pad.  $21
And we all love our Stampin' Trimmer (#129722) for precision cutting and scoring.  It sells for $50.


That's $169 worth of product!  But for your $169 you get to choose $66 more so that your total of product reaches $235.

I would add Mini Glue Dots (#103683) for $8.
A pack of Whisper White Envelopes (#106588) for $11.50.

Every stamper's essential tool - a Bone Folder (#102300) for $12.

A pack of Stampin' Dimensionals (#104430) for $6. 

Paper Snips (#103579) for $17 - super sharp and perfect for fussy cutting.

And to embellish, some Linen Thread (#104199) for $8.00.


All of these items come in under $235 AND I get free shipping!

But wait, there's more!  During Sale-a-Bration I can also choose two stamp sets....for FREE!

I would go for the Letters for You stamp set (#141968) valued at $85 (but FREE for you!).  It's great for all sorts of occasions and to personalise cards and envelopes.


And the wonderful Petal Palette stamp set (#145788) which is worth $61.

Both of these stamp sets have matching framelits which I could add to my next order and receive 20% off!

All up my order contains goodies totalling $376! and I have paid $169.

Don't forget that you can choose ANYTHING you like for you starter kit and free stamp sets.  The offer is fully customisable.

The joining offer runs all year but the two extra stamp sets are only during Sale-a-Bration which runs till the end of March.  If you are interested in joining, you can jump online and join my team by clicking this link or copying and pasting it into your browser.

Below are some FAQs from a previous blog post!



Does joining sound scary?  I assure you it's not.  Here's some FAQs.

Q:  What do I get in my Starter Kit?
A:  Anything you want - make up a list of products you would like up to $235 from the NEW catalogue.  You pay $169.  A great way to get a HUGE discount!  During Sale-a-Bration you also choose two extra stamp sets (go for some biggies!) for FREE!  If you 
just want to order the starter kit, that’s fine.  Stop there if you want.

Q:  What happens after that?
A:  A brown box of fun stuff will arrive at your door about a week later.  And then you start playing.  Yippee!!

Q:  Do I have to sell a lot of products?
A:  Nope.  It’s up to you.  Many people sign up as Hobby Demonstrators - i.e. for the discount.  That's why I signed up originally.  You can purchase for yourself  or sell to friends and family.  As little or as much as you like.  If you want to try to sell more widely that's up to you.  You can try running classes or parties if you want. I will help you with this if you like.

Q:  What happens if I don't sell anything?
A:  Nothing:  there are no penalties for stopping or dropping.  If you were to sign up during Sale-a-Bration, you would have till the end of July to enjoy a 20% discount on any products.  If you buy/sell enough, you will then be an active demonstrator for the 
next quarter.  If you don't purchase or sell anything more, that's fine.  It really is up to you!

Q:  Why join?
A:  Cardmaking and scrapbooking are two of the best hobbies in the world!  By signing up to Stampin' Up! you become part of generous welcoming family of like minded people.  You are also welcome to be part of my team activities.  For me, it's my job and I have made so many friends and had so many wonderful experiences! I would love you to join my team!

Painted With Love DSP

Of all the Designer Series Papers that Stampin' Up!® has released, this has to be one of my favourites.  And it's a specialty DSP which means it is heavier weight.



I made this box recently using one of the fabulous foil sides (one side incorporates gold foil), the other side is 'plain' but not in any way 'plain'!  It holds some Darryl Lea Licorice Bullets.  Yum!

So easy to measure and score using the Stampin' Up! Trimmer.



This DSP is $21 for 12 scrumptious sheets.  You can order it through my online store or by emailing me at wheatonanna@hotmail.com.

Don't forget that it is Sale-a-Bration time!  Every $90 you spend gets you a FREE Sale-a-Bration item.

Welcome.....We Must Celebrate!

If you don't know me, you should know that I will send Happy Mail for any reason.  I have cards ready to send at the drop of a hat and postage stamps ready to pop on.

These cards are ready to send out to anyone who joins my team:  "We're Behind You All the Way!"
I love this set!  The animals are 'cute as can be' and they are so fun to colour in with Stampin' Blends!



You like?  The animals are all on one stamp but some people actually cut the stamp up so that the animals can be separated.  Whaaaat?  I was going to do it but wasn't brave enough.



The stamp set is called We Must Celebrate and is available in my online store.



Don't forget that Sale-a-Bration is a great time to join my team.
  • Pay $169
  • Get $235 of product (so that's $66 FREE)
  • Free postage
  • AND during Sale-a-Bration you also choose two extra stamp sets!



I would love you to join my team!!  Contact me for more information by emailing me at wheatonanna@hotmail.com or phone 07 55 765 469.

Say it isn't so!!

Hi Everyone
Some of you might remember the Fast Fuse special we had last year.  The US had it also but sold out in only hours.  Their special was repeated a few days ago to make amends but again, it sold out within hours.
With this occurring SU! has informed us that Fast Fuse won't be carrying over into the new catalogue in June and that our stock is available only while it lasts.  As I am writing this both the Fast Fuse and the refills are still available but when they are gone they are gone.

If you are wanting to order, pop on over to my shop and load some into your basket.  Use the host code 2GPUDBW3 in your shopping basket.

Alternately, give me a call on 07 55 765 469 or email me at wheatonanna@hotmail.com

Don't forget that it is Sale-a-Bration time!  Every $90 you spend gets you a FREE Sale-a-Bration item.
