Stampin’ Up! $25 Joining Offer

I’m not an official “birder”, but I am certainly a bird lover.

The Wetlands stamp set jumped off the page at me the first time I looked through the 2013-2014 Stampin’ Up! annual catalog, but I was amazingly disciplined and waited to buy it. Last week, the wait was over!

Wetlands stamp set
Naturals White, Island Indigo and Crumb Cake card stock
Basic Grey, Island Indigo, Pool Party and Crumb Cake FFIP
Pearls
Island Indigo Baker’s Twine
The Big Shot and the Oval Framelits
Stampin’ Sponges

I cut an oval mask using the Framelits collection and sponged ocean and sand colors onto Naturals White card stock. I mean, it’s a scene from NATURE, doesn’t it seem NATURAL to use Naturals White?? My real intention was to take advantage of the texture of the card stock, both the physical texture and the little color “dits” (that’s what I call ’em, ok?) in the paper.

There’s a LOT going on in the Stampin’ Up! world right now – an extra $25 in hostess benefits, special one-week discounts in the Online Store, new stamps, and of course the opportunity to become a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator for only $25! Check out the deals!

Don’t let this be one of those “What if I had only…” situations. Join the Stampin’ Up! family – for just $25.

There has never been a $25 joining offer, and this one is being offered for just two weeks. From October 7 to 21, it’s just $25 – no shipping – for this special, 25th anniversary opportunity.

“What if…” is how my husband and I ended up in Hawaii 23 1/2 years ago. We were living in Northern California when he was offered a two year assignment on Maui. I was pregnant, home with a toddler, and the challenges seemed enormous. But we asked ourselves “What if we don’t do this? Won’t we spend the rest of our lives wondering what it would have been like to live on Maui for two years?” (The 23 1/2 part is another story for another day.)

Don’t let the Stampin’ Up! opportunity be that thing you wonder about for the rest of your life. Give it a try – there is absolutely no obligation. Sign up for $25, keep your product (special kit value $26.95) and see what it’s all about. If you decide it’s not for you, you can drop with no consequences at all. I’ll still love you 🙂 But if you get a peek at the demonstrator website and fall in love, or if you can’t resist that 20% minimum discount, then maybe you’ll stay. Whether or not it’s for 23-plus years is really up to you. Visit my Online Store for more details – click on “Join the Fun” at the far right hand side of the Tangerine Tango banner across the top. And of course, contact me if you have questions.

If you’ve read this far you certainly deserve a card!

This COULD be a wedding card, although it was not. It was for friends who participated in a marriage enrichment weekend and we wanted them to know we were thinking of them.

Hard to see, but the Crumb Cake layer is attached to a Whisper White card base. I also made a pair of notebooks to coordinate with the card:

Just think…you could stock up on all the goodies you want at 20% off…preview the Occasions catalog and Sale-a-bration promotion before they are released…and become part of a company that truly puts service first! Don’t wonder “What if…” – for $25, say “Why not?” You’ll be glad you did.
