SU's Three for You Punch Box Kit promotion

Purchase the Three for You Punch Box for $45.95 now through 8/31 and you will receive an exclusive assortment of textured Love Notes for FREE! (a $12.95 value).

This package of Love Notes is not available in the catalog - only through this promotion. It contains 30 pre-scored 3" x 3" note cards made from our new textured card stock. There are 10 each of Wild Wasabi, Purely Pomegranate and So Saffron along with 30 Very Vanilla envelopes.

The Punch Box kit (on pg 183) includes the Trio Flower Punch, a 9-piece DIE CUT stamp set, and 1 each Black, Wild Wasabi and Purely Pomegranate Stampin' Spots. All contents are packaged in a keepsake tin.

This may seem a little pricey but it is actually a great value!

• a 9-pc stamp set is about $25


• a large punch is $16


• 'standard' Love Notes are $9


• the Spots can't be purchased individually (est cost $6 for the 3)


• That's over $55 in merchandise right there!

I should also mention that

• this stamp set is an exclusive - it will not be offered in any catalog


• the punch may be in the July 2008 catalog, but we don't know for sure


• the tin is very nice too!

I've laoded some pictures here in my gallery and I'll have samples using this set at our August classes. I think you'll really like it!

Missouri Sales Tax Holiday

Selected SU merchandise will be exempt during Missouri's annual Sales Tax Holiday next weekend. That means you can order selected items WITHOUT SALES TAX - said differently, at a 7.5% discount!


I have a chart of all the items on the list. I've added some comments - like which you need NOW (just kidding!) and which you can add as your expertise grows. Note that only the individual markers are on the list - not the color family sets or the complete set. Bummer! email me and I'll send you the list.

Remember . . . although these supplies are in the SU catalog, they can be used by anyone for anything! They're great for craft projects by your children, grandchildren, nieces & nephews, neighbor kids, church groups, etc, etc etc!

I WILL PLACE THE ORDER SATURDAY 8/7 - let me know if there's something you want to order.

MARKER CLUBS forming now!

How many of you would LOVE to order the complete set of 48 Stampin’ Up! dual-pointed markers but don’t want to spend that much all at once? With this club, you will spread the money out over four months - plus have a chance to earn Hostess Benefits!

For the club to work, I will pair you with three other interested people (I need groups of 4 for this to work!) Each person in the group will agree to pay $36 each month for four months. Every month, each person will receive one color family of markers (12) and each month one person will receive the case for all the markers.

The actual total cost of the complete marker set and case with shipping & tax is $157.26. Your total cost - $144 - represents a $13 savings!

But wait - there’s more!

Hostess Benefits Bonus Offer: Each person in your group will be offered the opportunity to be a “Hostess“ for one month. When it’s your turn, if you choose to make an additional purchase of at least $25 in merchandise, you will receive your monthly color set and marker case PLUS:

• One Level 1 Hostess set of your choosing (last year's sets are selling on ebay for $20!)
• Hostess Dollars of $15 to be used for additional FREE merchandise

If you decide not to make the additional purchase that’s OK- you’ll still receive your markers and case.

I have several ladies interested in a Club and we would like to start in August. If you'd like to join us, please let me know by Monday, July 30.

This week's news

The Open House was a success!
I had the opportunity to share SU with 10 enthusiastic ladies last week! Everyone liked the projects and were excited about the products SU has to offer. To keep the momentum going, we'll get together again in 2 weeks so mark your calendars for Thursday, August 2 - same time & place.

Monday 7/23 - July order is being sent in
If you are planning on using your July coupons, please contact me TODAY as the order will be placed tonight so supplies are delivered in time for the August classes. THANKS!

Save the date - Saturday, Sept 29
At our demonstrator meeting yesterday we started planning the projects for our Holiday Extravaganza. These very creative ladies have designed some amazing cards, scrapbook pages, photo albums and holiday gifts. Much more about this great event next month, but mark your calendars now!

The people have spoken!
Thanks to everyone who voted! We'll do two techniques in August - Adding WOW with Glitter and Using Watercolor Pencils. These classes will be $12 - or $10 if you bring your own glue/ adhesives. Bringing your own supplies will help me keep the class cost at last year's rate even though SU increased prices on everything with this latest catalog. Thanks for understanding!

Have a great week and remember to get your orders and coupons to me Monday 7/23!
