What is a Designer Paper Product Share? 

If you are new to me as your demonstrator or new to Stampin' Up!, a Paper Share is a way to get a sampling of paper without having to buy them all. I order all of the papers, cut and package them, and drop them in the mail. This is usually ¼ the cost of buying all the paper packs yourself!  This way you can see, touch, feel, and use the papers and reorder your favorites in my online store.

Schedule:

·      May 3, 2024: deadline to pay

·      May 1st: I’ll order all the paper

·      May 13-17, 2024: I’ll cut, bag, and package all paper shares

·      Week of May 13: I’ll ship paper shares (assuming no backorders)

Thank You!!! Many of you have been participating in my paper share offer for many years.  I appreciate YOU---

Celebrate 35 Years with ME!!

 It was April 1989 and my friend, Vikki, invited me to a Stampin' Up! workshop.  I was already friends with Jill Olsen, who was the demo doing the party.  I didn't even stay for the party, but booked a workshop with Jill and went home.  The next week, Jill came and did my SU party and I was hooked. I was home on maternity leave with Randy and Mike was student teaching, so we were pretty broke.  I had never picked up a stamp except to stamp a child's paper (I was teaching K at the time).  Since 1989, I have gone through the ups and downs with SU growing to where it is today, but God has continued to bless me financially and with wonderful friendships in more ways than I could have ever imagined!  

Fast forward to April 2024, and I'm still being blessed and going strong.  I want to share my anniversary celebration with you.  So---- for the month of April, I am offering 25% off all products (retail amount before tax/shipping) from the 2023-24 Annual Catalog and Spring Mini.  That's on top of SU's discounted price (if applicable) on some retiring products.  

If there are things you want off the retired lists, I suggest you put in an online order and I'll reimburse you the 25%.  SU's sale begins April 9th and discounted items will go fast!!

Price changes begin May 1st - the graphic below shows items I most commonly use and am stocking up on now to save a few ** "future"dollars. You can do the same through April 30th. I love that we have advanced notice so that we can make choices with our crafting dollars.
YOU CAN SHOP anytime in my online store- inkyfingers.stampinup.net
If you have any questions let me know.
**There are others items with a price increase but I listed the most commonly used products. My customers can always check with me if they are thinking of placing orders and want to know if anything on their want /wish list has any price adjustment coming.

Saying Goodbye & Hello

Saying Goodbye---The 2023-24 Annual Catalog & Spring Mini are coming to an end on April 30, 2024.  Not only will will be saying goodbye to many stamps, dies, punches, etc., but the 2022-24 In Color products will be leaving us!  That includes ALL the beautiful Designer Series Papers that we love.  Here are the links to the products that are retiring.                                                    Retiring 2023-24 pdf      Retiring Spring Mini

If there are any products that you want that are not on sale, I would suggest ordering them ASAP.  In Color products go fast!!!  Products that will be discounted beginning Apr. 9th, will be sold out quickly, also.  It's best to order directly online and have the order sent to you.  To order now, click HERE if your order is less than $150.  I'll send out a new link in April for those who are waiting for the sale.  Remember, you'll get a goody from me for $50+ orders. 

Saying Hello---Beginning May 1st, you'll be able to order from the 148 page 2024-25 Annual Catalog.  While I can't show you the inside of the catalog, here's a picture taken of the cover.  As soon as I get my preorder in April, I'll share colors, papers, and products (one of the perks of being a demo).
