On January 12, 2010 a magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck Haiti, leaving in its wake devastation so overwhelming that the Haitian people and their leaders can only look for help from the outside to cope. As a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, we want to help make a difference in the lives of those who continue to suffer from the effects of this earthquake by selling, the I {Heart} Hearts stamp set.

Product Name Item # Price
I {Heart} Hearts – clear-mount 118571 $18.95 (block D recommended)

I {Heart} Hearts – wood-mount 117010 $26.95

Stampin’ Up! has supported many good causes over the years.  In the past, when terrorists attacked the Twin Towers, when a tsunami struck Indonesia, when a hurricane destroyed New Orleans, and when wildfires ravaged Australia, Stampin’ Up! has gathered its demonstrators to step forward and show their commitment to making a difference in the lives of others. This time is no different.

Besides supporting the Ronald McDonald House Charities annually, Stampin’ Up! has stepped forward again to help the people of Haiti who were affected by the earthquakes.

From now until February 28th, Stampin’ Up! will donate $2 to the American Red Cross’ Haiti Relief and Development Fund every time you stampers purchase the I {Heart} Hearts stamp set in Wood (#117010) or Cling Mount (#118571).  The American Red Cross is already down in Haiti helping.  With your help, we can help them get the supplies they need to make a substantial impact on the situation.

Thank you for your support!!!!

All,

I was looking through some photos and remember that I never uploaded my personal christmas cards and some teacher gifts I made for this past christmas.

The Holiday Mini had one of the best stampsets called Dasher, which I am sure everyone has. I also made some cute white boxes stamped with Serene Snowflakes and tags were made with the Christmas punch.  I was so proud of these little boxes that I filled with homemade peanut butter and chocolate fudge that I thought no mater what I has to shear them with you .

Sorry its after christmas but I am proud of these last minute ideas I came up with at 10 pm at night.

Starting with the new 2010 Occasions Mini Catalog and continuing with all new punch designs going forward, Stampin’ Up! has adopted a new body style for their punches!

A few features of the new punch style:

• Low-profile, rectangular punch body allows for easier stacking and storing
• Punches lock shut for easier storage and transport
• Dual labels on top and end allow for easy identification and selection when stored
• Available in three sizes: small, medium, and extra-large
• New punches allow for larger punched images and more intricate designs while providing greater ease of use.
  • Extra -large punch images also allow for two-step designs like the Two-Step Bird punch in the Occasions Mini Catalog
• Corner punches allow you to punch a corner design along the inside edges of a page, not just corners
• larger, whole-hand handle

I hope you like them. Be ready to order them tomorrow!!!

Hey all,

Its been a couple of weeks since I posted to my blog but as with all of us the month of December became super busy with all the last minute shopping and the holidays. I am glad to know that tomorrow it new years eve and the last day of what was a great year for me.  This summer i became a Stampin Up Demonstrator and over the last few months my business has grown alot. I could not have not have done this without the help of my friends and loyal customers. I so value all the new friendships that I have established just by becoming a SU Demo. I cant wait to see where next year goes. With clubs now going every month, I look forward to starting a design team for my blog and to working toward  updating my blog daily.  As the year 2009 ends and 2010 approaches, I want to say thank you to everyone for all you have done and will do in the New Year.

It is only a couple of day before I will post the Occasions Mini on my blog.  You customers will see it and all the Salebration stuff soon. I have some great things in store for you so keep watching the blog at least weekly.

Happy New Year!!!!
