Hi everyone,
It's here! Sale-A-Bration has begun! For every $60 order that you place you will receive one free item from the Sale-A-Bration catalogue! So exciting!! This event will be going on until March 31st

If any of you have been debating signing up as a demonstrator this is the time to do it! It is 15% off right now! 15%!!! For only $209 you will get $410 dollars worth of Stampin Up products- that is pretty much half off!! In addition to all of the amazing products that you receive in the starter kit you will receive one bonus stamp set of your choosing- up to a $60 value! This is the absolute BEST way of stocking up on products!!! Please do not think that by signing up you have to run a business- I know many people who call themselves "hobby demonstrators". These are people who wanted to purchase a starter kit and get a discount on all of their stamping and scrapbooking products. The first order that you place as a demonstrator is 30% off and all future orders are 20% off which obviously is fantastic. It is the best way really of supporting your habit if you are anything like me! And as always if you sign up through me I will give you a little thank you gift- right now it is a punch of your choice. If you would like more information please let me know.

If you are interested in hosting a party Sale-A-Bration is definitely the time to do it. I hosted one last year during this time and that was what inspired me to become a demonstrator- I got so much free product it stocked me up!! All you need to do is get 3 or more friends together for a super fun night/day of stamping and I'll do the rest. For $15 each your friends will be able to make 3 projects and leave with the satisfaction that they made those beautiful cards! As a hostess you will receive a free catalogue, the class fee will be waived and you will receive a free stamp set as a thank you from me! Plus I always like to through in little treats at the party!
Throughout the month of February there is a promotion involving online ordering. If anyone places an online order of $100 they will receive a free catalogue. I will match this promotion- I will also give a catalogue to anyone who orders over $100 in product this month. If you do want to place an online order or want to forward this to a family member here is the link:

The Big Shot class is a go- I'm so excited! I have some fantastic projects lined up. There is still room if you are interested. There will be 4 classes that will take place over the next 4 months. During each class I will be showing you how to use the big shot using various materials and tools to make 3 projects. The cost of each class will be $40 and at the end of the 4th class you will receive your Big Shot. You will be paying for your machine in installments instead of doing one big lump sum payment. I will be opening up the classes to anyone else who is interested in using the Big Shot- these classes will be $15 each. If at the end of 4 months you change your mind and want the Big Shot I will take the class payments that you have made off of the $160 total. Stay tuned for the date of the first class.
It's time for another SWAP!!! YAY!! The response to the last one was overwhelmingly positive and many of you have been asking for another swap- well here it is!! This time it will be a Birthday Card swap. You will make 10 cards and give them to me- and you will receive 10 different cards! So much fun! It's a fantastic way to get new ideas. There will be 10 people in the group- if there are more people who sign up I will start a second group. All cards must be in my hands by February 28th. Please let me know if you are interested by this Friday, February 6th.
Thanks everyone- Happy Stamping!

Big Shot Class
Hi everyone,
As I said in the last email there are sooo many fabulous products associated with the Big Shot in the new catalogue (pg. 193-203). The Big Shot is a multipurpose die-cut machine that can be used to create fabulous shapes and accessories for cards, scrapbooks and many other craft projects. I have included the Stampin Up description of this fabulous product at the bottom of the page.
When you order the Big Shot you get the machine, the cutting pads and the multipurpose platform for $118.95. I know that it is a huge investment and a lot of money all at once. I am proposing ordering one by payment plan.
I am offering a 4 month payment plan which will include 4 classes- 1 per month. Each month you will pay $40 and come to a class where you will be learning different techniques and tricks using the Big Shot. There will be 3 projects per class and at the end of the 4 months you will leave with your machine. You will feel comfortable with the machine and know how to use it. If you already have a Big Shot you can still come to the classes- it will be $15 a class.
I can't say enough about how great this machine is. You can cut through up to 8 pieces of paper at once using the dies! It makes stamping/scrapbooking sooo fast! There are dies that can cut out bags and envelopes- which saves a lot of time since all the measuring is eliminated. There are nestabilities that include up to 4 different sizes of the same shape such as circles or ovals on one die- you don't need to own a group of punches for layering with these. For scrapbooking you can cut out letters and numbers- so handy. And my personal favorite- all the dry embossing possibilities! From single images to full backgrounds I just love them.
If you already have a machine like the cuttlebug you can use all of the dies and folders in this machine. Actually, when one of my friends was debating which machine she should purchase she posted this thread on splitcoast and the positive feedback for the Big Shot was overwhelming:
http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=372615
I have also included an attachment that lists all of the materials that can be used- there are over 50 that you can use with the dies from cardstock to tin to denim.
Please let me know by Friday, January 30th if you are interested in the offer and the classes.
Thanks,
Shauna
PS. I have heard a lot of you say that you don't have the space for it. It really is not that big- it takes up the space of maybe 4 punches.

185- Purse Punch Card
As soon as I saw this card I knew I had to recreate it somehow- I mean I love purses and the idea of doing them with punches just thrilled me.
I put pictures of how to make the purse straps. You first use the small oval punch to punch a hole in your paper. You then take your large oval and centre the small oval in the middle. This will leave you with your hollowed out oval. I love this technique- will definitely be using this again
Recipe:
Stamp set: All holidays
Ink: Old olive
Paper: Whisper white, baha breeze, old olive, Holiday Treasures DSP
Accessories: Tab punch, small oval punch, large oval punch, 1/4" whisper white grosgrain ribbon, silver brads
