The annual Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-bration Promotion is almost here!  Starting tomorrow, January 4th until February 29th, 2024 you can earn free stuff!  You've got to love it!.  During this time period there are 3 ways to take advantage of Sale-a-bration and earn exclusive Stampin' Up! products.  Here's how: 1. Shop,  2. Host and 3. Join:

1. Shop

 
We all love to shop, but during Sale-a-bration for every $60 that you spend (before taxes and shipping) you get to pick out a free item from the Sale-a-bration brochure.  You'll find lots of fun and exclusive items in that price range. And, for those who want to combine or spend a bit more you can also get exclusive items for every $120 worth of items purchased.  


2. Host

As a host of a party in your home or virtually, you'll earn an additional $37.50 in rewards (when your party total is $375).  That’s in addition to the normal $45 your party would earn, giving you a total of  $82 in rewards to pick out any products of your choice.  Not everyone wants to host a party, so why not just put your order together with friends and family and you'll still qualify for all the additional perks.  

3. Join My Team

In my opinion Sale-a-bration is the best time ever to  join my team as it's the best way to get maximum value for your money.  If you purchase the demonstrator kit during January or February 2024 for just $135.00, not only is it tax free* but there are no shipping charges and you'll also get to choose between one of two amazing options for FREE.

JANUARY 2024 HOSTESS CODE

Welcome to 2024! 

Welcome to my Penny Token's Stampin' Spot and Happy New Year!  I'm so excited about 2024 and looking forward to sharing my stamping and creative side with you this year.  

New Hostess Code: 

The first order of business is to share my January Hostess Code KUDD7VGK which is available from January 1st through 31st, and can be applied to any order valued at $60 to $199.00 (before shipping and tax).  Not everyone can place orders over $200 or host workshops that accumulate sales, so sharing my hostess code with you is my way of saying "thanks for supporting my business". 

The benefits of shopping at my online store and adding my monthly Hostess Code are:

  • You never have to go to a workshop or party. 
  • If you need help with your product choices I'm always here to help. 
  • You get to decide when to place your order and my online store is available 24/7.
  • Your new products are shipped directly to your front door and generally arrive within 5-7 days of placing your online order.
  • After you've  placed your order and applied the current hostess code you'll receive a free surprise gift from me and thank you card  generally within 2-3 weeks.  

Here's How It Works:  

My monthly Hostess Code/free gift offer is only available for orders placed on-line and you must add the hostess code before the order is finalized.  If you don't already have an online account with me, you'll need to set one up. It's fast and easy.

Once you've got your account set up you simply type in the monthly hostess code at checkout to any qualifying order valued from $60 to $199.00 (before shipping, tax and handling). 
Before you finalize your order at checkout you must add my hostess code to the circled area.  Make sure before you place your order to have the current code because once your order has been finalized, I can't add the code for you, and unfortunately you will not qualify for my free gift although you'll still receive a thank you card from me.   

If your order totals more than $200, no worries, you'll automatically receive Stampin' Rewards at the checkout based on your order total and will be prompted to enter products adding up to the qualifying amount before you proceed to checkout.

NOTE:  My January Hostess Code promo closes at noon on January 31st, 2024.  A brand new hostess code will be available on February 1st, 2024. Your free gift and thank you card will be sent to you by the 3rd week in February.

ADDED BONUS IN JANUARY: 

During the months of January and February 2024 any order of $60.00 (before shipping & handling) qualifies for a FREE product from the SALE-A-BRATION sale flyer that starts on January 4th, 2024.  So, if you place an order for $60.00 before shipping and sales tax you'll be able to choose one free product from the Sale-a-bration flyer, and if your order totals $120.00 (before shipping & handling) you'd earn two free items and so on.  

HAPPY STAMPING!

December 2023 Paper Pumpkin Kit

Yesterday was my first stamping day since before Christmas, and it was both productive and enjoyable.  Oh to have quiet time to myself such a blessing!   

I received my December Paper Pumpkin kit, right around Christmas but hadn't had a chance to open it yet.  When I did, I was simply blown away! The kit called "All The Best", truly is one of the best kits I've worked on this year, and I'm so happy I ordered it.  

Here's what was included in the All The Best December 2023  Paper Pumpkin Kit

The All the Best Paper Pumpkin kit came with enough product to make nine cards.  There were three card designs (three each of three designs), and nine absolutely stunning coordinating envelopes. There were three hand drawn gold embossed floral mats and enough yellow floral pieces to decorate all the cards. The twelve labels were trimmed with gold foil and a package of beautiful blue faceted gem embellishments, a stamp set, a Pebbled Path stampin' spot, glue dots, tear n' tape and an acetate box to hold the finished cards and envelopes. 

Before I share the cards I made from this kit, click here to watch the unboxing video from Stampin' Up!

HERE ARE THE CARDS I MADE WITH THIS KIT:

Although the kit contains enough supplies for 9 cards, I was able to make 19 different cards from the supplies provided and some additional materials I had on hand. 

I'm terrible at following directions so I just began by taking apart all the embellishments and then I cut the card bases into 5 1/4 x 4" mats. I couldn't bear to cut up the envelopes, as they were so beautiful and compliment the cards so well, but if I had I probably would have had 25 cards or more.  When I ran out of the pretty yellow flower embellishments I did some embossing with gold embossing powder and some plain stamping to create backgrounds for the pieces that were left. 

I really enjoyed using the stamp set that came with this kit, especially the sentiments which are perfect for birthday or friendship cards.  Here are the extra materials I used for my cards.  

Card Stock:
So Saffron, Daffodil Delight, Balmy Blue, Whisper White and Gold Foil and Whisper White Envelopes. 

Ink:
Old Olive, Balmy Blue, Daffodil Delight, Momento Black, Versa Mark

Embellishments:
Brass Butterflies, Gold Embossing Powder, Spring Flowers embossing folder (retired). 

















As a Paper Pumpkin Subscriber I'm able to order a kit refill, which I've already done, so I can make more cards using these beautiful materials.  That is one of the perks of being a subscriber.  If you want to know more about Paper Pumpkin give me a call or drop me an email and I'll answer any questions you have.  
Thanks for visiting today and I hope you enjoyed these cards as much as I did making them. 

Happy Stamping!

Home for the Holidays - October Paper Pumpkin Kit

Christmas is fast approaching, and I'm almost ready.  How about you?  Are your cards in the mail?  Did you make tags this year?  


I made a lot of different Christmas cards again this year, using different stamp sets and products, but the ones I really enjoyed making were from the October Paper Pumpkin kit - Home for the Holidays.  Last year's Paper Pumpkin winter kits were so awesome, I wasn't sure if they could top them this year, but I was sooooo wrong!  






The Home for the Holidays kit came with enough card fronts, card bases, labels, envelopes, ink, dimensionals, glue dots, and sparkle glue to make at nine cards.  It also had this cute little stamp set which I really love. 

By cutting apart the card fonts and envelopes I was able to stretch the supplies so I actually made 24 cards and still have a couple of odds and ends left over. 

I also combined a refill package called Warm Wishes from the November Paper Pumpkin kit with left over products from the Home For the Holidays kit to make twenty more cards.  Paper Pumpkin monthly subscribers can purchase refills for their favourite kits while supplies last at a very reasonable price. 

Warm Wishes Paper Pumpkin refills for the November 2023 Paper Pumpkin Kit.

Here are some additional pictures of cards I made:






I like to change up the bases and use my coloured cardstocks as they have a little more firmness than the card backers in the paper pumpkin kit.  I used Boho Bluem Lemon Lolly and Sweet Sorbet cardstocks for my bases. I also combined different Christmas themed designer papers like the One Horse Open Sleigh paper.  What fun to mix and match. 

Happy Stamping!
