Be the Difference - Stampin' Up! Style

This year's Stampin' Up! convention theme was "Be the Difference" and addressed how Stampin' Up! allows us to make a difference not only in our lives, but the lives of others we help along the way.  I have been a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator/Creative Coach for 14 years.  I started because I had three young children at home and, well, I needed to get away from them and this provided the perfect excuse!  I could control my own schedule, make as little or as much additional income as I wanted and make new friends.  The majority of my best friends are a result of relationships built through Stampin' Up!

I thought it would be fun to share the "Be the Difference" Convention video.  If you look carefully, you will see me on the bus for our Headquarters tour.







If you have ever thought about becoming a Creative Coach just for fun, for money, or for relationships, now is a great time to do it!  We have special offerings to make it almost irresistible to join now!  Check out the special "Pick a Kit" offer for new Demonstrators.  It's only $99 to join and you receive a kit valued at over $190 (including business supplies) in addition to the Pick a Kit offer!  Click here to sign up!  Use "thestampqueen" for your password.

Extra Perks from Randee:

• When I am your chosen Demonstrator with the Paper Pumpkin Promotion, in addition to receiving your awesome package monthly, you can also be part of my “Paper Pumpkin Princess” Club and join me monthly, at my house, to put together your Paper Pumpkin kit with me!  This is totally optional, but so much fun to get together and have fun.  If you live out of town, when you RSVP, we can Skype you in on the fun!

I am..........

I just got back from another Amazing Stampin' Up! convention. The theme this year was "I Am".  I thought it would be fun to share the theme song and give you a chance to see the beautiful Riverton facility for Stampin' Up!  Enjoy!

Stampin' Up! Craft Pads - for Sale or FREE!!

You are probably thinking that all I ever post about is selling things. Well, right now, I would have to agree with you. It is not the intent of my Stampin' and Crafts blog to be all about selling things, but I'm building/remodeling a new craft room and I really don't have a place to do creations right now. I need to get rid of a BuNCH of stuff before I can even finish my room. That being said, I will be posting quite a few things so I can finish my craft room and start crafting again! Please bear with me!

 I have approximately 34 Stampin' Up! Craft Pads for sale. All have been opened but very few have ever been used. I haven't tested the wetness of them lately, but right now, you can purchase all the craft pad refill inkers on sale from Stampin' Up!. I paid over $250 for these pads and am accepting offers. They stamp on most surfaces (glass, plastic, wood, fabric, etc) unlike the Classic Stampin' Up! pads. I have the following colors:
 Barely Banana
YoYo Yellow
 Summer Sun
More Mustard
Perfect Plum,
Lovely Lilac,
Almost Amethyst,
 Lavender Lace,
Eggplant Envy
Mauve Mist
Marvelous Magenta
 Pale Plum
 Blush Blossom
 Pretty in Pink
Real Red
Rose Romance
Baroque Burgandy
Rose Red
Pink Passion
Taken with Teal
Ballet Blue
Night of Navy
Not Quite Navy
Bordering Blue
Bliss Blue
Brocade Blue
Garden Green
Mellow Moss
Mint Melody
Sage Shadow (2)
Green Galore (2)
Forest Foliage

 Cash for personal purchases. You can pick up from me in Red Oak, Waxahachie or near Love Field to avoid shipping charges. If you want to purchase and have me ship, you will need to paypal your funds plus the applicable shipping and any paypal fees.

If you place an online order on my SU website for $500, I will give you all the craft pads free, plus shipping. Your $500 order will also qualify you for a ton of FREE items. For more information see http://thestampqueen.stampinup.net or email me through craigslist. If you are placing the order to qualify for the free craft pads, contact me first to ensure someone else hasn't already placed an order. Thanks for looking!

Simply Scored - Two Ways!

Stampin' Up! introduced our new "Simply Scored" scoring product this year in the new catalog.  It is, by far, the most amazing scoring tool out there!  SU! thought of everything, and if you already have one of the other scoring tools, you might as well give it to a friend and get the new 'Simply Scored' from Stampin' Up!

Well, SU! has taken it even further and has introduced the 'Simply Scored Diagonal Plate.'  This is a sister product that goes with the Simply Scored.  Click here to check out the video!  It's only $11.95 and it's available for order now.

Don't have the Simply Scored ?  It's only $29.99.

And REMEMBER.....until March 31st, each $50 in orders gives you your choice of FREE SU! product!  Order $150 in products and be your own hostess!  You will get tons of FREE Product!

Happy Stampin'
