Check out the wonderful products and things you can do in the Holiday Catalog

   
 This year's Holiday catalog is an amazing catalog full of wonderful stamp sets, beautiful designer series paper, accessories and samples to copy or to inspire.  I have 2 favorite items in this catalog.  The first one is the Illuminated Christmas stamp set.  It helps remind me the real reason for the Christmas season is the birth of the Christ child and the things that lead up to it. The other favorite of mine is the Toil & Trouble suite of the Cauldron Bubble stamp set, the Cauldron Framelits dies,  the Toil & Trouble Designer series paper and more fun things to accessorize it.  If you haven't seen this catalog, watch this video.  Leave a comment about what your favorite item is and if you would like to have your own copy of this wonderful catalog to order from and be inspired by:

 
     Did you know that some holiday traditions are disappearing? Handmade Christmas cards are being replaced with texts and tweets! The joy of opening the mailbox to find a handmade card is quickly disappearing. It is being replaced with the simple “ding” of our electronic devices. You can’t decorate your mantle with texts and tweets but you can fill your home with FREE decorations as you display all your handmade Christmas cards!

I hope you will help me try to keep this beautiful and thoughtful tradition of handmade Christmas cards a part of Christmas this year! Handmade Christmas cards bring joy to both the receiver and giver!

Please enjoy the cute video highlighting the Holiday Catalog from Stampin’Up! then let me help you keep the tradition of handmade Christmas cards a part of your Christmas celebrations.

1. I can send you the current Holiday Catalog from Stampin’Up! Please watch the video for some fun project ideas.
2. You can attend one of my card classes to learn to how to make simple Christmas cards that will be cherished for a lifetime.
3. Ask me how you can schedule a Christmas Card party to make cards with your family and friends.
4. You can order paper, ink and stamps from my Stampin’Up! website so you can make cards to share with your family and friends.

Peace on earth can begin with a simple card made by you and given from the heart!

      Here is a quick scrapbook page that I created using a small piece of the All is Bright Designer Series Paper and a picture of a group of ladies I had fun crafting with:

My current business goals and how you can help me reach them

     I have recently been challenged to reach a new level in my business. I enjoy what i
do and would like to share that with more people instead of keeping it to myself. I used to think I wasn't creative but a friend kept inviting me to her creative Stampin' Up parties. I told her I wasn't creative and to stop inviting me and then I said, if I come to your party and don't like it, will you stop inviting me? She said yes. So I went to her party. Long story short I found out I AM creative and that Stampin' Up helps out with that by coordinated color cardstock, ink pads, designer papers and more. The friends I meet thru this are amazing and we always have fun when we get together. I've now been a hobby demonstrator for 15 years and want to share it with more people and get more people to join the fun.

My next level is Silver Elite and to get there, here's what i need:

Rolling 12-month personal sales remaining: $2,178.12

Total direct demonstrator count remaining: 4 (that means i need to recruit 4 more people to my team)

Direct Silver or above remaining: 1 ( I need to be a leader and help one of them get to the level i'm currently at.)

So, the company is helping by creating a challenge group to help those of us at my level get to the next level.

What excites me most about the program is the structure and support of this group and challenges and the suggested ideas.

My goals for my business and ideas on how to obtain them:

1. more customers/hostesses - reconnect with old customers, connect and find more new customers.

2. doing video blogs - find someone to show me the logistics and technical aspects.

3. more organization - organize 1 group of items at a time

4. recruit - make offer to my big online customers.

I know a lot of you who read this, think that you're not creative or you don't have time or ... Please let me tell you it's fun to find your creativity and the projects you can make are amazing and will be appreciated by friends and family.

Please leave a comment on this post and share it with your friends. And just try stamping with me. You'll be surprised! You just might enjoy it!

#Stampinup30th - I'm creative and I get fun and friends

     I'm getting really excited about celebrating 30 years of Stampin' Up!  I met a new group of fellow demonstrators and we had so much fun together!  We got to share our excitement at the dinner meeting by writing what Stampin' Up means to us.  Here I am:

North Shore Craft Camp - Christmas Edition: Official details

Here is the link to the event I am cohosting with a new friend and another great independent Stampin' Up demonstrator:

https://www.facebook.com/events/2122522747818840/

     I'm really excited about this event.  This will be my first one and hopefully there will be more to follow.  I attended one put on by my cohost last month with my sister and we had a blast!  We met some really great people and made some neat projects and learned a couple new techniques.  We shared each others snacks and got some great things thru the day.  We had time to work on our own projects that we had procrastinated on and made the ones that were part of the event.  I had so much fun, i had to have my own event and Melissa agreed to help me.

     I know that you would have a great time at our first collaboration event.  We have some great projects planned for you and some great food.  It's time to register so you get the early bird price.

   

     Here is a picture of what you'll get to make and what you'll get to take home if you sign up for my break out class Envelope punch board projects.

     More good news, tomorrow the Stampin' Up Holiday catalog goes live to customers!  If you live in the United States and would like me to be your independent Stampin' Up demo, comment "I want one." and I'll get you a holiday catalog.  

       My parents just hit 62 years of marriage and tomorrow is mom's birthday!  Comment about these events and I'll send you a home made card.

      If you've read this far, please comment "I did." and comment on something in the post and you'll get a prize from me.  If you not only read this far, but also registered, comment "I'm in." and you'll get 2 prizes from me.  And you'll have a great time at the event.

      Stamping and crafting on,
          Tracey Gouraud
