New Catalog Sip & Stamp Photos

Saturday was my new catalog Sip & Stamp event.  I wanted to share a few photos of how I set up and what I displayed.  Sadly I missed a photo of my central display table!  But here is what I did on Saturday.

When you walked in this was the check-in table with packets for each expected guest including their name.  There were game sheets that were optional, name tags and door prize forms.

This area displayed retired products that I was selling.  At this point in the day, many things had sold.
I used burlap ribbon on my school house chalkboard.  Then clipped my many swap cards as a display of design ideas.  Below this was a large table with displays of new products and sample designs for each product. 
 
 I did capture two items that were on the large display table:

this crate shows the 2017-2019 In Colors: ribbon, ink, card stock, and designer series paper.

This wood crate displayed a comparison of Blushing Bride, Powder Pink, and Pink Pirouette.

I also shared this flyer.  I use my business income to help support Erin as she works to stop human trafficking in SE Asia.  I hope you will read about her.  She just finished training and plans to return to work in Cambodia.  If you are interested in supporting her too, you can contact her organization website http://cten.org/erinfoley/  


 The buffet had sign up sheets for my upcoming classes.

I used my pan rack to hang this antique window.  It displayed more card design samples.  I had products and sample designs on this counter display: Post Script, Delightful Daisy bundle, Eastern Palace Bundle, Label Me Pretty Bundle and In the City hostess stamp set.
 These held the completed entry forms for the prizes.

 And here are the prizes: stampin' pad, embossing folder, sponges and a grand prize product package.

Here is several of the people that attended.  There was a make and take project with the Your Delightful hostess stamp set and they worked on their game pages. 

Of course there was also refreshments.  They had glass bottles of Izze to drink for their "sip" part of the event.  I hand dipped chocolate strawberries that morning for an extra special treat for my extra special customers!


This was the make n take that my guests made.  I CASEd* this design from page 136 of the 2017-2018 Annual Catalog.  I chose to use the You're Delightful host stamp set for the sentiment.  I love the font, large size, and the words!

2017 Sale-A-Bration and Occasions Excitement

NOTICE: January 7th open house is CANCELLED: be safe, stay home and off the streets.  I'm hoping to reschedule - TBD.

What an exciting week this has been.  We have had:
1.  to shut down our internet to find malware in our network
2.  record breaking snow
3. two three snow days off from school
4. a global system failure at Stampin' Up! for over 15 hours on Wednesday.


Meanwhile BIG things started! The Occasions catalog (see here) started with the Sale-A-Bration (see here) catalog!  Sale-A-Bration gives you a selection of exclusive free products.  You can select one free item with each $50 of product ordered from the annual catalog or the Occasions catalog.



Need another excuse to get together with friends? Just host a qualifying order or party with at least $250 in sales during Sale-A-Bration and you’ll earn $25 more in Stampin’ Rewards! You can even apply your Stampin’ Rewards toward a Starter Kit and become a demonstrator yourself!

It’s the best time of year to join Stampin’ Up! During Sale-A-Bration, you can become a demonstrator for just $99 and choose TWO additional stamp sets for your Starter Kit—any stamp set, any price! (Excludes Sale-A-Bration sets and bundles.) Plus, the kit ships for free!  I have an awesome team that is fun and so creative!  You would love to get to know the amazing demonstrators I work and collaborate with - and they have become such sweet friendships.


Both catalogs have lots of wonderful products, ideas, projects and more to explore for stamping and creating with ink and paper.  I have really enjoyed fun with my new stamping products.  I hope you will join me for classes and making beautiful projects at your home.  

Do you need a catalog? What are your favorite new stamps and supplies?  What do you plan to order first?

January's code for ordering online is CBD4BQM7.  Please enter it in the host code box on the Shopping Bag page.  http://bit.ly/shopwithJaney

I'm looking forward to reading your comments in answer to my questions.  Starting on Monday I will have my Team Swap blog series again featuring card designs with our new products.  I can't wait for you to see these beautiful cards!

Serving Others, Shop from Home, Gift Cards, January


Last night was my second year to join a service project for Chrysalis.  Chrysalis provides a safe, loving Christian environment for women coming out of incarceration, addiction, and abuse.  My church gathers their wishlist for their children.  These are posted anonymously on our Impact Tree for people to commit to shop and provide those items.  Then we gather for a Christmas party to deliver the gifts, share dinner together, wrap the presents, make gift tags and wish them a Merry Christmas!

We arrived after a day of snowshowers.  It was a quintessential wintery scene for a Christmas party.


Gifts are stacked up and waiting.  Food arriving for dinner.



The team members waiting for the residents to arrive after their work day.



The ladies were so excited to open the bags and start wrapping gifts for the children in their lives.

I prepared elements for making gift tags.  I coordinated, stamped, cut, and punched so it was quick and easy for them to assemble the tags they selected.  They really enjoyed making the tags and it was fun to chat while they learned about tape runners and tying ribbon.

Here is a gift all tagged and read to be given!
My heart is full of admiration for these ladies as they work hard to make a new life with goals and dreams.  I am so grateful to have spent the evening with them.


Today is the last day to shop with Stampin' Up! and have your product order arrive in time for Christmas.  And we have so many great deals on close-out and even several current items are discounted due to excess stock.  So don't miss out shopping your favorite stamping tools and supplies.  Shop HERE.

Did you know that you can buy a gift certificate from me and they can order from out of state?!?  Stampin' Up! is great way to give creativity and the order goes to their door.



You can also purchase a gift subscription to Paper Pumpkin in various time-lengths.  And I will send you a printable gift card to present the subscription.


Mark your calendars NOW to join me in January!

Guests tried out various tools like the Big Shot and thinlits.


 A display of the Blossom Birthday suite of products.


 New products were displayed with samples of designs for cards and packaging.

The Confetti Embossing Folder and sponge daubers make a very festive birthday card.




This is a display of designs and products from the Annual Catalog.

It was a very fun afternoon.  If you missed this event I have your catalogs and would love to get them to you.  Or let me know if you are new and want a set of your own: janey(dot)backer(@)gmail.com
