A Touch From the Heart

A Sweet Deal for ONE of my Readers

Yesterday, I had a blast attending the first Stampin' Up! Spring Regional Meeting in Minneapolis.  Shelli Gardner, the founder and CEO of Stampin' Up! was commenting how cold it was here.  The locals just laughed because it was above 30......a warm welcome to some nicer weather than we've been having lately.  Do I dare say it was "balmy"?  Nah, I won't go that far!

The meeting was wonderful!  It was chock full of stamping demonstrations, product training, business tips and of course, an entire day spent with both old friends and meeting new ones.  I love how Stampin' Up! keeps their demonstrators trained and informed......in the most fun ways!

There was a special announcement made at the Regional meeting and only for the regional attendees.  I get to give away a FREE stamp set to the FIRST person to join my A Touch from the Heart Stamping Team.  Like I said, I only have one stamp set to give away, but would you like to hear about it?  It's called Sunny Fun, and it will be in the upcoming Summer Mini Catalog.  

Stampin' Up! had a board filled with samples made with the stamp set.  Aren't they cute?  What symbolizes Summer better than ice cream, flip flops and little kids frolicking in the water?  

If you've been thinking about joining my team, NOW really is the best time!  

Why?  

- since it's Sale-a-bration time, the Starter Kit is on sale for $148.75 (that's 15% off the regular price).  You can customize the stamping products in the kit to fit your personality!

- as a Sale-a-bration bonus, you also get a FREE product bundle worth more than $50.  These products are customizable as well!

- be one of the FIRST demonstrators to receive the Sunny Fun stamp set.......and you get it FREE......but only if you are the first one to sign up on my team after this blog post gets posted!

- whether you want to sign up for the discount or be a business demo like me, I will train you every step of the way.  It's my job to help you become the best demonstrator you wish to be!!!  My team is a diverse group.....spread out all across the country.  Regardless of where you live, you are treated as an equal.....a wonderful member of an equally fantabulous team.  

Now, remember you need to be the FIRST one to sign up to receive the FREE stamp set, and you must sign up on or before February 27th.  

If I've piqued your interest, please send me an email so we can chit chat about the Stampin' Up! opportunity.  I would love to talk to you!!!!

If you already know that you want to be the FIRST, sign up on my A Touch from the Heart Stampers Team through my demonstrator website.  Just click on "Start My Own Business" to get started.

How to Make ALL Your Holiday Cards in Less Than One Hour

What if told you that you could make ALL your holiday cards in less than one hour?

No, I am NOT crazy.  You totally can if you design your card with My Digital Studio.....Stampin' Up's digital software program.  Then, all you need to do is have them printed off by Stampin' Up!s professional printing studio.  They will mail you your cards and envelopes......all you have to do is address them and put on the postage.  Easy peasy!

For this week's Stamping 411 Color Inspiration Challenge, I made a digital card. 

 

My Digital Studio (MDS, for short) allows me to use pre-made designs or make my own custom designs.  There's cards, scrapbook pages, calendars and so much more!

I can add photos, text, designer series paper, cardstock, ribbons, buttons, brads, stitching all by clicking and moving my mouse.

Wanna hear something even better?  There's a Digital Plus Starter Kit available for only $87.50.   The retail value of this kit is $320. 

Here are the contents of the kit (and most of it you can customize with items you like):

- 3 stamp sets (Party Hearty, I {Heart} Hearts (clear mount) and So Many Thanks, OR 3 sets of your choice at the same or lower price)

- Clear Block C (OR clear block at the same or lower price)

- Assorted Color Card Stock 8 1/2" x 11" (Getting Started Pack or assortment of your choice)

- Cardstock 8 1/2" x 11" (your choice of Whisper White or Very Vanilla)

- FOUR Classic Ink Pads (Basic Black, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie and Real Red, OR 4 of your choice)

You will also receive some business supplies (catalogs, business forms and other supplies to get your business off to a great start). 

Now, I can hear some of you now.  I don't want to be a demonstrator.  You don't HAVE to be!  You can just purchase the Digital Plus Starter Kit (or the traditional Starter Kit) and just walk away......no strings attached....no penalties!  But, if you've been thinking about starting your own business, an investment of only $87.50 may just be the push you need to get your career started.   I would love to be your upline!

Give Yourself the BEST Holiday Gift Ever!!!

We all know how much we love to stamp, scrapbook and papercraft.  What if you could get $310 worth of Stampin' Up! products for the magnificent price of $87.50?

Stampin' Up! just announced the BEST PRICE EVER on their Starter Kits.

From November 15th through November 30th, the Starter Kits (traditional or Digital Plus) are on sale for $87.50.  That's 50% off.  The starter kit contain over $310 worth of papercrafting products.

Whether you want to try running a Stampin' Up! business like I do or if you just want to sign up for the discount, the starter kit is a fabulous deal....especially when priced at $87.50.

Many people think that once you order the starter kit, you are committed forever or need to pay a penalty if you don't meet some quota.  That's not true!!!

Here are the facts:

-  in order to be an active demonstrator, you need to place $300 in orders each quarter.  If you do not place those orders, you will go into a "pending" status.  If you do not place an order of $400 ($300 from the previous quarter and $100 for the first month of the new quarter), your demonstratorship will be dropped.  There is no financial penalty for dropping.  You still have all those wonderful supplies in your starter kit to play with.  Stampin' Up! is not going to harass you at all!

- monthly, you will receive a fabulous magazine called Stampin' Success.  It's filled with stamping projects, business tips, stamping techniques and ideas to help you run your business.

- for the first order of $150 or more placed within the first 45 days of your demonstratorship, you get 30% instant income (i.e. commission).  After that, your instant income is 20%.  A lot of stampers sign up just for this wonderful discount on their favorite products. 

- you are given the opportunity to earn additional money based on your sales performance each month.  This is called Volume Rebate.  You start earning additional percentages off your sales starting at $400 in monthly sales. 

- if you decide to recruit others onto your team, you make a percentage off their sales.

- you will get 2 free months of the Demonstrator Business Web Site (where your customers can place online orders, view your stamping events, see your projects, sign up to be on your team, etc....)

- you have me as your team leader.....to guide you through this new journey in your life.  Whether you want to make a go of this as a business or if you just sign up for the discount, I am here for YOU!!! 

- you are given access to a wonderful online website to help you run your business as well as an online community to share ideas and projects with other demonstrators. 

 

There's so many wonderful reasons to sign up to be a Stampin' Up! demonstrator....whether to start a new business or just to get a discount.

If you have any questions, I would love to talk about the Stampin' Up! opportunity with you.

If you already know you want to join my team, you can sign up through my demonstrator website.  Just click on "Start My Own Business" to get started.  There's a video to help answer some of your questions as well.

This Gorgeous Tote Can Be Yours!

 
Isn't this tote amazing?  It can be yours FREE when you sign up to be a demonstrator from September 1st through October 18th (while supplies last).

Now, the supplies in the tote are not part of the promotion, but you could put all your Starter Kit goodies in there to show off to everyone.  This tote is so large it will hold 12x12 paper and your paper trimmer too!

Speaking of the Starter Kit, did you know that you will receive over $300 worth of products for the fabulous price of $175?  There's two Starter Kits to choose from:  one with My Digital Studio (combined with traditional stamping supplies) and one with only traditional stamping supplies.  It's your choice!  The Starter Kits are customizable.....you pick the stamp sets, ink pads, dsp, cardstock, etc.......so your kit is perfect for YOU!!!

There's many types of demonstrators.  You can be a business demonstrator (like myself) where you hold classes and workshops to share the love of stamping with others.  But, you can also be a hobby demonstrator, where you receive a 20% discount on all your purchases (30% on your first order if placed within 45 days of your start date) to help support your stamping addiction.  LOL!!!

What kind of demonstrator would you like to be? 

Well, I would love to have you join my team.  We're called the "A Touch from the Heart Stampers".  I have downline local here in MN as well as across the country.  I like to think we are touching hearts with our love of stamping all across the USA. 

If you would like to chit chat about the Stampin' Up! demonstrator opportunity, I would be more than happy to give you a call.  Just send me an email with your phone number so I can give you a call.
