Stampers 10 - Only 3 places remaining.

New Club *STICKY, PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR NEWER POSTS *

How a Stampers 10 virtual club works:

10 people get together (don't worry I advertise for those people, you don't have to find them them yourself, although if you do have a crafting buddy who will love being part of this please pass on this information) and form a club, the club runs for 10 months, each member agrees to place a minimum order of £15.00 per month plus p&p. This will give us the minimum qualifying order of £150 we need every month. Each month a DIFFERENT member in the club gets to be the hostess and collects all the free benefits associated with that month's total. By the end of the 10 months all the members in the club will have had their turn to be the hostess. It really is as easy at that! Each month a box of goodies will arrive on your doorstep.

You will get a FREE copy of the catalogue and any mini catalogues released through the club duration plus free samples, projects and freebies a few times during the 10 month duration.

So in summary ...

• 10 members join (and commit to the whole of 10 months)
• The club runs for 10 months, there is no commitment to continue after the 10 month period
• Each member agrees to spend a minimum of £15 on products per month (before postage) on any items from the catalogue
• If you want to spend more you can take an additional place in the club, that way you get to take advantage of the hostess benefits twice :O)
• When all the places are filled, hostess months with be allocated at random

Stampers 10 will receive:

• A Stampin' Up! catalogue
• Sale-A-Bration mini catalogue
• A least a level one hostess gift from the catalogue, these are exclusive to hostesses (these are sets that cannot be bought, they can only be earned free with qualifying orders of £150 or more). You chose your gift when it is your month to be the virtual hostess, you will also receive a minimum of £15 to spend as you wish on anything from the current catalogue
• I'll organise ribbon and paper shares (if the group wants them)
• I'll set up an exclusive Stampers 10 group here on my blog with Project ideas and monthly prizes

As soon as all 10 places are filled the club will start. Remember, because its virtual everything can be done online or over the phone, I'll arrange for your goodies to be delivered to your door :O)

Extra bonus during Sale-A-Bration

• ALL members of Stampers 10 groups are still eligable to receive free stamp sets for product orders of £45 or more during January and February. THATS MORE FREE STAMP SETS - Choose from the Sale-A-Bration mini catalogue (see posts below)

Its a card for a friend at work who should have had her baby boy over the christmas period. I cannot take credit for the card design I CASed that from Amy Celona, I had to play for a while to get the dimensions right! I'm not sure if I wish I'd stuck to a onesie card though ...

I wish we could meet up more often but the 4.5 hour drive is a huge obstacle, maybe I'll get get back up that way in the Spring :O)


.

Swaps.

Remember that sneak peak I gave you back in October .... You know the one of the Christmas Card Swap over on ILWS. Well the cards are on their way back to us, so I can now reveal my cards as everyone in the swap should have received theirs by now :O)


As soon as I saw this stamp set in the new catalogue (way back in October) I knew that I HAD to have it, and I knew I had to create one of these Gap cards with it!


Recipe.

Stamps: Spotlight on Christmas
Cardstock: Old Olive, Real Red, Whisper White
DSP: Merry Moments
Mediums- Real Red, Summer Sun, Old Olive
Tools - Paper cutter and scorer, 2-way glue pen, Snail adhesive, Punches: Scallop Edge, Scallop Oval, Large Oval, Star, 5-petal flower, 1-3/8 & 1-3/4 Circle.

We only created card fronts for the card swap, the card looks sooo much better with a back, but I can't for the life of me find my sample, will have to make another and photograph it to show you.
