WELCOME APRIL - WHAT'S HAPPENING?

Thanks for visiting my blog today.  It's April 1st and it's the month of transition. The signs of Spring are starting to show up in my yard now. Today I was checking out the forsythia blossoms in the trees below our yard.  Looks like the birds know it's Spring too because they seem to be busy looking for nesting materials.   

As we get closer to the end of the current catalogue year, Stampin' Up! has just updated the Last Chance Products portion of the online store with some more retiring deals.  You can check it out by clicking here.

BIG STAMPIN' REWARDS CHANGES:

Stampin’ Up! is updating their Rewards Program beginning April 15!

A big change is coming on April 15th, 2025 to the current Stampin’ Rewards program offered by Stampin’ Up! Any order over $20.00 will now qualify to earn Stampin’ Rewards from 2pm MT April 15 onwards.  This is a big change and probably a welcome one.  

Here's what you'll need to know:

• Stampin’ Ups! online store will be offline from 8 AM MT until 2 PM MT on April 15 for the transition to the new rewards system.  So don't place any orders until after 2pm on April 15, 2025. 
• My  “host code offer” will no longer apply my so you won't see any more Hostess Code postings or decals on my blog. 
• Orders of $200+ are no longer needed to start rewards with the new Stampin' Rewards system.
• Orders of $20+ will earn 10% rewards.  So, if you place an $50, you’ll earn a $5 reward to use the next time you shop! And, the system tracks your spent/unspent rewards for you.
• You can choose to spend a portion or all of your Stampin' Rewards on your next order, or you can save them up for a special purchase.
• Stampin' Rewards can be saved for up to a year.

The Fine Print - What do you need to do:

• If you don't already have an active Stampin’ Up! online store account you'll need to set one up so you can place orders and earn and redeem rewards.  If You can set one up your online account at stampinup.com.  

• I won't be able to create and manage customer accounts any longer.  Although I can still provide demo assistance, and answer any questions regarding your order, because of stricter banking policies and data/privacy laws, you'll need to officially be in charge of your own customer account for ordering and earning & redeeming Stampin' Rewards. 

• Starting April 15th you'll need to opt into the program to begin earning and deeming Stampin’ Rewards. When you place your first order on or after April 15, you’ll be given an option to opt into the new rewards program.  If you don't choose to opt in at that time, you'll have the option again when you place your next order.  When you don't opt in you won't qualify for rewards on your order, so why lose out on rewards, opt in right away.  

• There'll be a pop up option when you log into your stampinup.com as of the afternoon of April 15th just click the “get started” button to go through the opt-in process and start earning your rewards.

• If you don’t want to opt into the rewards program, you don’t have to opt in.  You can still order; you just won’t receive the Stampin’ Rewards for your purchases.  

Again, these changes will begin April 15th at 2 PM Mountain Time.  Contact me if you have any questions, I'll be happy to help you out. 

HAPPY STAMPING!
