This countdown FROM Christmas is all about COUNTING DOWN TO THE 2021 JANUARY – JUNE MINI CATALOGUE and the SALE-A-BRATION BROCHURE.

So far, I have shared projects using the FREE products primarily from the SALE-A-BRATION BROCHURE.

I have also shared lots of information about why joining Stampin’ Up!® can be a great idea for many of you.

Today, I was going to share a project I have made using products from the 2021 JANUARY – JUNE MINI CATALOGUE, but we had unexpected visitors drop by. Here is a recent, favourite project.

I’ll make sure I share a couple of projects tomorrow.

There is quite a bit of information to share with anyone who is thinking about joining Stampin’ Up!.

FULL DISCLOSURE – some people join Stampin’ Up!, during the Sale-a-bration promotion, because it gives them the opportunity to enjoy the extra product value and free DSP offer.

However, if you want to join and continue to enjoy your min. 20% discount over the long term, then this is the information I want to share with you.

WHEN YOU JOIN, WHAT’S NEXT?

If you want to stay an ACTIVE DEMONSTRATOR and enjoy your min. 20% discount, this is what you need to konw.

The Stampin’ Up! year is divided into quarters – January to March, April to June, July to September and October to December. (The Stampin’ Up! calendar year begins on October 1st).

To remain active, you need to achieve total sales of a minimum of 300 CSV – these sales can be from your own orders and/or orders from your workshops or directly from customers.

CSV stands for COMMISSIONABLE SALES VOLUME. In the USA 300CSV = $300 USD. There is a % calculation available for each market. In Australia, the current CSV calculation is 300CSV = $468. REMEMBER – THIS IS A QUARTERLY REQUIREMENT TO STAY ACTIVE.

When you first join Stampin’ Up!, at this time of year, you have an added benefit. If you join during Sale-a-bration, you have until the end of June to meet this quarterly minimum.

This is a perfect way for those of you who want to dip your toe and see what happens.

However, there may be some of you who want to join Stampin’ Up! and are ready to take it for a real spin. If you are already keen to achieve more and build a business, you can opy into the QUICK START PROGRAM.

QUICK START is a 6 month program that provides new demonstrators a way to earn rewards, such as product credits in CSV.

If you join Stampin’ Up! in January, your Quarterly Sales begin on February 1st.

Tomorrow, I will share a bit more – I’m trying to ensure that you are not feeling overwhelmed by information.

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.

JANUARY FIRST, 20210 – HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone. I hope each of you had an amazing New Year’s Eve celebration with family and friends.

We spent the afternoon and evening celebrating with three other couples. There were games and shared food and laughter and memory sharing 9and maybe a few celebratory wines).

We saw the New Year in – and, we actually had a grown up’s sleepover.

The next morning, we enjoyed a hearty cooked breakfast and looked forward to another couple joining us. The ten of us all met in Bundaberg and watched as our babies grew into adults, enjoying group family holidays together.

Although some of us have moved away from Bundaberg and we may only catch up one or two times a year, as a group, we cherish it when we do.

One of the couples left early this morning so they could get to the airport to pick up their son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren who were able to travel and visit.

Later in the morning, the guys managed to play a few rounds of golf.

The weather forecast suggested it could be raining so, before we left home, I decided to pack up some card making supplies and a few of the June Sending Sunshine Paper Pumpkin Kits I had in my stash.

I was thrilled when the ‘girls’ decided that they would like to make some cards. We shared two kits between the four of us and we each left with four cards ready to spread some cheer in this new year. During 2020, I had one of these friends joining me for several long, slow classes at her sister’s house (a half way point for travel for each of us), so she was my ‘assistant’. The other two friends are relatively new to card making and they were very pleased with their creations.

We enjoyed about an hour of creativity before packing things away and moving on to the rest of the morning.

I was so pleased that I decided to take a card making bag of goodies with me – I didn’t kmow if we would have the opportunity – or if people would be interested. But, I offered the opportunity and we had a great time.

It was a really great way to start 2021 – creating together, supporting each other, chatting and having fun.

I am so pleased to share this as a personally satisfying benefit of joining Stampin’ Up!®.

I was able to share a creative experience with my friends – I LOVE what I do and SHARE what I love, as I help others ENJOY creativity and worthwhile accomplishments. In this, I make a difference. A personalised version of the Stampin’ Up!® Statement of the Heart.

Tomorrow, drop by for some information about what you can choose to do after joining.

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.
