March (Kits & More) Madness

Join Me For A March (Kits & More) Madness Party

You don’t have to be “mad” for Stampin’ Up! Kits to join me for this fun filled event on Saturday, March 9, at the Lynde Lodge in Hermon, Maine. Our kit-together festivities will run from Noon to 4pm. Bring your basic cardmaking kit (adhesive, scissors, etc.) and plan to have an amazing Craft-ernoon!

Kits And More

There will be numerous fully assembled Stampin’ Up! papercrafting kits on display for you to view. Your first decision is choosing your own kit to craft with for your $30 entry fee. Along with your selected kit, you will receive a Mystery Goodie Bag for additional card making fun. Each “kit and more” comes with a complimentary raffle ticket to the Grand Prize Drawing!

But don’t stop at just one kit….try out other kits, with Mystery Goodie Bags and raffle tickets, for $25 each. There is no limit to the number of kits you may purchase, but styles may be limited based on kit popularity (first come, first served)! If you run out of assembly time, take your kits home to play at your leisure. Or, use a kit as the perfect gift for someone else!

March Madness Games & Prizes

Plan to play some games while you craft away! We will enjoy a couple of easy and fun basketball and bracket themed activities. Of course there will be prizes…what are games without winning, after all?!?

Cash in your token for the Basketball Toss Game, gym sneakers not required. Take your best guess with the Kit Bracket Game, choosing which kit you think will be slam dunked as most popular. And there is nothing but luck involved for the Grand Prize Drawing, may luck be with you on this day!

Socialize, Papercraft, Play

Besides crafting your kits and more, and playing March Madness Basketball Games for prizes, there will be a *NEW* Sentiment Stamping Station. This will give you the ability to ink up the perfect phrase for your projects, no matter what your kit has to say.

I will have a vast selection of sentiment stamps with clear blocks and ink for you to get clever with. There will also be a limited selection of basic shaped dies and punches to play with.

Top 3 Reasons To Be A Stampin’ Up! Customer

You purchase craft supplies and are a customer. But are you a customer to a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator? Maybe you think “craft supplies are craft supplies”. Read on for my top 3 reasons to be a Stampin’ Up! customer.

Reason 1: Free, Half-Off, Clearance

Favorite words of any shopper, anywhere. Who doesn’t love a bargain? No need to wait for a holiday or crazy marketing event, Stampin’ Up! offers these types of purchases everyday!

New Wonders Stamp Set
The New Wonders Stamp Set, item #149426, is exclusively free to hosts, and one of many such offerings.

FREE ITEMS are offered with qualifying order(s) of $150, and as sales increase, so does the host’s percentage of rewards. Gather your friends and have a stampin’ party. Let those orders add up and you will be on your way to…

HALF-OFF! When your party totals $450, you get to pick one item for half-off. That is good news if you have your eye on an expensive…

BUNDLE. Stampin’ Up! Bundles are items sold together as a set or unit, instead of individually, and come with an automatic 10% savings. For everyone. Everyday…

Yes, everyday is a good day to check out the CLEARANCE RACK. Stampin’ Up! randomly adds new items at low prices. There are excellent bargains on ribbons, embellishments, paper and tools. You never know what you will find until you look… and save!

Reason 2: Something For Everyone

It doesn’t matter if you are a beginning stamper, casual stamper or stamping enthusiast, Stampin’ Up has something for everyone.

Beginners, Paper Pumpkin monthly subscription kit is perfect for you. It has all the stamps, ink, embellishments and pre-cut paper you need delivered straight to your mailbox. Not a fan of mystery boxes? Stampin’ Up! offers other all-inclusive kits with the contents cataloged so you know just what you are getting. Step-by-step directions with pictures help you to assemble with ease and gain confidence in your crafting skills.

Notes of Kindness Card Kit
The Notes of Kindness Card Kit, item #148266, is one of the all-inclusive sets available. This one makes 20 cards, and when the consumable supplies are gone, you can continue to create with the stamp set, clear block and ink.

Casual Stampers, go for the designer series paper! Stampin’ Up! makes it easy to mix and match their exclusive colors, so you don’t need to be a suave stylist to create beauty. Every pack of DSP, with its incredible art, lists the coordinating colors to use. Pair this with some simple embellishments and a few basic stamp sets, and you can make wow projects with minimal effort.

Perennial Essence DSP
The Perennial Essence DSP, item #149100, is hand painted impressionistic imagery in rich colors, sized 12″x12″. You get a dozen sheets, 2 each of 6 double sided designs.
DSP packages retire with each catalog, so are available for a limited time only.

Stamping Enthusiasts, you want it all (and rightly so!). Stampin’ Up! caters to your needs. There are endless coloring options, from blends and markers to watercolor pencils, shimmer paints and pigment sprinkles, not to mention applications of each. You can heat emboss, emboss with folders, die cut, and punch. Up your game with the Stamparatus, paper trimmer and scoring tool, your creations are works of art for sure!

Stamparatus
The mighty Stamparatus, item #146276, is a tool created by stampers for stampers. It helps you perfectly align stamp images, create multiples quickly, and get exceptional ink coverage.
