10/5/21 Updates & Stampin' Up! News |
|
Hello!
Those of you who are on Facebook, Instagram, or WhatsApp on a regular basis may have noticed that those social media sites were down for quite a long time yesterday. It was a worldwide outage. Normally it may have worried me, but there have been other glitches happening for myself, some of my fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrators, and other business owners. And these are true glitches because I've done nothing wrong to provoke it. In fact I've gotten invitations in the past from FB to take part in surveys and focus groups because my business has done so well there.
But around September 25th, I noticed the glitch (missing events on my business page). And by the the 29th I was starting to realize the enormity of my situation. Several events and posts were gone, pretty much all of my recent videos, and I couldn't post any links from my website/blog anywhere (neither could anyone else) with FB claiming the posts were from a harmful site.
Those of you who know me KNOW that there is nothing harmful, spammy, misleading, fraudulent or suspicious about my website/blog. In fact I don't even post anything controversial and try to promote kindness and the golden rule. Gosh, what could be bad about crafting and sending cards!? And it is near to impossible to find any human that can help.
So I wanted you all to know (just in case you are reading this). I'm still here, I just have "my hands tied" (and I'm being "gagged") on Facebook. I haven't even ventured out to Instagram yet.
The rest of my newsletter is happy, creative stuff! So on that note...

A New Addition to the Kits Collection |
Let your Christmas gifts take “Santa” stage with Love, Santa. This kit features oversized Christmas tags in festive designs and has everything you need to create 12 whimsically designed tags. That means you will find printed die-cut tags and labels, sequin embellishments, pink and white baker’s twine, an exclusive stamp set, a Night of Navy Classic Stampin’ Spot, and more in this all-inclusive kit! You can get right to crafting without any of the prep work.
Plus, the printed and food-safe cellophane Love, Santa Treat Bags (available to purchase separately) are the perfect complementary way to wrap up scrumptious treats.

Product Availability Issues |
Like most companies nowadays, product delays are happening quite often. Stampin' Up! is trying to stay on top by producing & requesting shipping earlier and by making products unavailable when backorders start building up.
When an item is on backorder, it can still be ordered. A customer can purchase it, but they just have to wait longer for it. When an item is "currently unavailable", it cannot be ordered. That item WILL come back, though. We just have to be patient.
Stampin' Up! does not post alerts to demonstrators when products come back into stock. Sometimes there are estimated dates products MAY arrive. Sometimes there are not. But I thought I'd let you all know of a few that just became available again: The Notes of Cheer Card Kit (shown here), the Turtle Punch, and the Seal Adhesive Refill. |

Bundle Focus...
Season's Blessings
|
Here’s a dilemma. You want to make holiday cards but you don’t want to invest in a stamp set that’s good for just one time of year. What’s a crafter to do?
Let me introduce you to the Season’s Blessings Bundle. Stamp a basket full of poinsettias, add the “Season’s Blessings” sentiment, and you have festive holiday cards. But the fun doesn’t end there! Fill the basket with leaves stamped in reds, yellow, and oranges for autumn cards. Stamp colorful flowers and “May your day be filled with good things” for birthday cards. You can use the stamps in this bundle for almost any occasion.
Don’t forget the dies! They coordinate with the stamp images for quick cutting. This is a bundle you’ll use all year long!
