Stampin’ Gals Gone Wild Wednesday- Online Ordering 101

Posted on July 9, 2014July 10, 2014 by Josee

A note from Connie….I know it's July and when we were kids, we didn't want to think about school at all but today, I want to go over a few things about online ordering. Before you delete, exit, or close, there might be a couple things here that will make your life easier and save you some time. 🙂

As you know, Josee and I have 6 exclusive videos and tutorials that we would LOVE to share with you. Those who use the monthly HOSTESS CODE are emailed these videos and tutorials and I don't want anyone to miss out on them. It's just our way of saying THANK YOU for supporting us.

We have heard from many of you that you can't find the place to put the Hostess Code. Well, let me put your mind at ease… it's not you, it's the location of the box. It's in a really weird place and it is SO easy to miss. Let me share with you what it looks like and where you can find it.

When you "view your shopping bag" you will see a box at the bottom that asks, "Do you have a hostess code?" Once you've entered it, you are good to go and you can continue shopping.

Now, let's stop there for just a minute… if your order is $150 or more, DON'T USE THE HOSTESS CODE! Why?Because Stampin' Up is going to reward you with Stampin' Rewards and Josee and I want YOU to have those, not us. Feel the love? Sure you do!

Not to worry! You'll still receive the videos and tutorials for the month but Stampin' Rewards start at $25 and who doesn't love free Stampin' Up stuff?

When you create your Online Order account with us, down at the bottom of the screen you will see

Josee and I totally respect your privacy but if you uncheck the 2nd box you are asking us, your demonstrator, to not contact you. This means that legally we can't send you the videos for the month. In fact, we can't even see your name. This makes us sad. Stampin' Up takes your privacy seriously and so do we. So, with that being said, if you wish to receive the videos, be sure to leave the box checked so we can contact you.

If you have had problems not receiving the videos from us, log into your Online Account. Click on MY ACCOUNT (at the top) and then MY DEMONSTRATOR and check the box. Problem solved!

As our reward for you sitting through this Online Ordering 101, we thought we would share some SNEAK PEEKS of the July Stampin' Gals Gone Wild projects! Hope you like them!

Thanks for reading. I know it wasn't a fun thing to read but we hope that the info will make your shopping easier and less frustrating.

In CANADA? Order HERE from JOSEE and use Hostess Code NEHT69UF (CAN)

In the USA? Order HERE from my friend CONNIE and use Hostess Code XT3WSHVK (USA)

Want to get your hands on 6 more fabulous videos? Place a $20 or more order and use the Hostess Code NEHT69UF (CAN) or XT3WSHVK (USA) and Connie and I will reward you with the SIX STAMPIN’ GALS GONE WILD videos and tutorials!

If your order is $200 or more, don’t use the hostess code. You will still receive the fabulous tutorials but YOU get to take advantage of STAMPIN’ REWARDS! Stampin’ Rewards start at $35!

Stampin’ Gals Gone Wild Wednesday- Blendabilities!

Posted on July 2, 2014July 2, 2014 by Josee

Hello Friends!

I have to say sorry…with Canada Day yesterday, I lost track of time and didn't get a video done myself…however….some of the Blendabilities are now available so I thought I'd show some great videos using them!

Josee here…I hope you are all enjoying some pool time or air conditioning somewhere! It seems this heat wave has hit many areas. I'm not complaining though, as just a few months ago we had weather at the complete opposite end of the thermometer! But, yesterday's Canada Day celebrations in the almost +40 degree Celcius heat requires a little recuperating in the air conditioning today 🙂

Speaking of heat, today I want to share a HOT new product NOW AVAILABLE through Stampin' Up!— BLENDABILITIES!

I love to colour stamped images! It can really be so therapeutic! If you haven't heard of these yet, you will be so glad you are reading this today! If you have ever heard of COPIC markers, BLENDABILITIES is the Stampin' Up version, but even BETTER!!

The Stampin' Up! rectangular barrel keeps your markers from rolling away! & Flat storage helps to maintain the life of each marker.
Each marker comes with a tip on each end: brush and fine & Marker tips are made of nylon, which is superior to polyester which can fray.
Colour coded caps & of course, Stampin' Up! markers coordinate wonderfully with our cardstock, and can be used with transparent sheets.
These exclusive, alcohol-based marker sets come in a 3-pack of light, medium and dark shades (of the same colour), and provide your projects a more saturated look with blended colours.

It is recommended that you use Stampin' Up! Whisper White Cardstock with your Stampin' Up! Blendabilities, but choosing any one of our cardstocks will add a unique look to your project.

Check out these videos to learn more: (There are different methods to use these, try them and see which is your favourite!

As you can see, there are tons of possibilities with these markers!

Available Products starting July 1:

Cherry Cobbler (Item #130995 – $15.95)
Coastal Cabana (Item #131000 – $15.95)
Daffodil Delight (Item #130998 – $15.95)
