Mid- August Reminders

So we are just about 2/3 of the way through August (already)!  This past weekend was filled with family events, so I didn’t get to make even one card!  That means I had to skip Merry Monday for this week, and I unfortunately don’t have anything new to share with you today.  🙁  So I thought I would use today to just discuss a couple of reminders for August!

First, the Blended Seasons Bundle is still available, but only until August 30th!  This gorgeous bundle is perfect for year round crafting, and includes both an exclusive stamp set as well as framelits.  We have been told that these items will NOT be available in any future catalog, so if you really want them, now is the time to get them!  Here’s a peek at the full bundle once more:

Both the stamp set and framelits are also available separately.  So if you just want one or the other, you can get them.  However, purchasing the bundle will save you 10% off the cost of them individually, and they really are best when used together!  There are so many beautiful projects you can create with these!

Here are a few samples made with the bundle:

Please click HERE to go to the Blended Seasons section of the online store to get yours before they are gone for good!

Second, BONUS DAYS are still in effect until August 30th as well!   For every $50 you spend in August (before tax and shipping), you will receive a $5 coupon code to be used on an order in September.  There is no limit to how many coupons you can earn, and no limit to how many orders you can earn them on!  This is a great time to stock up on essentials such as cardstock, envelopes, adhesives, etc.!  It’s all stuff you need anyway, and you’ll get some coupons to put toward new Holiday Catalog items!  Just something to think about!

You can shop both of these offers by clicking the image below.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me!

Thanks for stopping by!

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Are coupon codes case sensitive?
A: No, but the codes will include a dash. You need to include the dash in the code for them to work.

Q: Can participants earn multiple codes on a single order?
A: Yes. There is no limit to the number of codes that can be earned on a single order. They just have to reach the qualifying amounts to do so.

Q: If a participant earns multiple codes on a single order, will they get one email or multiple emails with coupon codes?
A: If they earn multiple codes on a single order, they will get one email with multiple codes. If they earn three separate codes on three separate orders, they will receive three separate emails.

Q: Can coupon codes be used after September 30, 2018?
A: No. All codes will expire after September 30, 2018.

Q: If an order is cancelled, will the codes be lost?
A: Yes. If you cancel an order during the earning or the redemption period that has codes on it, your codes will be lost and you will not be able to use them again.

Q: Can coupon codes be given away?
A: Yes. The codes are not specifically tied to a demonstrator or a customer. They can be shared, but they can still only be redeemed once. However, they have to be redeemed in the same country where they are earned. For example, if they are earned in Canada, they have to be redeemed in Canada.

Q: Will participants be allowed to apply coupons valued at more than the amount of product they’ve ordered?
A: Yes, but they will forfeit the overage of the coupons being applied.

Q: What if a participant doesn’t have an email address?
A: An email address is required to generate a code, so anyone who wants to participate in the promotion must provide one. A friend or demonstrator could offer to provide their own email address so that they receive the coupon code(s) on behalf of the customer, and then give the code to their customers.

Q: Will Stampin’ Rewards overages or 50% off items count toward the qualifying sales amount?
A: No. Stampin’ Rewards overage and 50% off items will not count toward the qualifying amount.

Q: What if participants earn coupon codes but don’t receive an email?
A: With so many different email providers, it’s possible that the email may have been sent to a spam folder. Check there first and if the email still can’t be found, contact your demonstrator for help.

 

This promotion is a fantastic way to earn coupons to use on orders from the Holiday Catalog!  Place an order from your Annual Catalog wish list in August and earn coupons to save on Holiday Catalog items in September!  It’s a win-win!  🙂

The Blended Seasons Bundle is Available Starting TOMORROW!

Tomorrow, August 1st, the new, gorgeous Blended Seasons Bundle will be available for purchase!  The bundle contains both the Blended Seasons stamp set, as well as the coordinating Stitched Seasons Framelits Dies!   Here’s a peek at the full bundle:

This bundle is perfect for year round crafting!  It contains images and sentiments that can be used for spring and summer flowers, plus autumn leaves, and holly, berries, and bells for the holidays!  Both items are also available separately as well, so if you want just the stamps, or just the dies, you can get just one or the other.  BUT, you will save 10% if you buy both as the bundle!  🙂

The card I made for today’s post uses the leaves stamp from the bundle.  I stamped the leaves in VersaMark ink and heat embossed them in Copper Embossing Powder.  I then used my Aqua Painter to add color.  I used Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze, and Old Olive as the colors.  I framed the leaves with an oval from the Layering Ovals Framelits, and set it against one of the stitched frames from the Stitched Seasons Framelits.

I used a design from the Wood Textures 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper as the background, and embellished the card with linen thread and some pearls colored with the Ivory Stampin’ Blends marker.  SInce I used Very Vanilla on this card, I wanted the pearls to match.  Coloring them with the Ivory marker was the perfect solution!

 

Measurements for this card are as follows:

Thick Very Vanilla card base:  5-1/2 x 8-1/2 inches (scored at 4-1/4 inches and folded in half)

Wood Textures DSP layer:  4 x 5-1/4 inches

Early Espresso stitched backing layer:  2-3/4 x 4 inches

Very Vanilla oval:  2-5/8 x 3-9/16 inches

 

The Blended Seasons Bundle is available beginning August 1st, and is only available until August 31st or while supplies last!  So if you love it, be sure to order early in order to avoid disappointment if it sells out!  You can shop for these exclusive, limited time products HERE.

Today is also the LAST DAY to get the Wood Textures DSP as part of the Buy 3 Get 1 FREE Designer Series Paper sale!  AND, it’s also the last day to sign up for Stampin’ Up! and get 10 free ink pads in addition to $125 in product of your choice for only $99!

To shop the DSP sale, click HERE.
