Hello! I realize it’s been awhile. Yes, I have a real problem with being retired from teaching, loving my cardmaking hobby, having a small business, and everything else I do! I try to get the small business – Stampin’ Up! – going, but my heart is really in keeping it a hobby. I then see all that is happening with Stampin’ Up and get excited! I do have friends and customers who still like to meet to make cards and still order through me. I am so grateful to those individuals as they keep my hobby going. It is important that you all know:
I am still here for you. You may always ask questions or order through me. I am an Independent Demonstrator who can always help you. Please continue to go to my online store – Deniselafave.stampinup.net to check out promotions and what’s new. You may look here on my blog as well. I just updated the catalog page. You can see what’s in the newest catalog by going to my Catalog page.
Our newest catalog – May 2024 to April 2025 Annual Catalog is now live! All past catalogs are no longer valid. The new one is beautiful. Check it out!
Do you want your own?
I have another offer for you! Would you like your own catalog? There’s nothing like having the colorful book in your hands. Not only do you see what products are available for sale, but there are wonderful ideas in the catalog. I will send one to you for the cost of packaging and mailing only. The catalog itself is my gift. I just ask for $5 to be sent by Paypal, Zelle, or Venmo. Once I receive your request and payment, the catalog will be shipped directly to you! Please email HERE with your request, name, and address. I will send the information for payment and everything can be done easily and in a few minutes! If you are local customer in my general area, just ask and I will deliver a catalog for free. The catalogs are always my gift to you!
Online Exclusives and Catalogs
Remember we do have Online Exclusives that begin at certain times and Mini Catalogs that offer more deals. The Online Exclusives are not in a catalog. They are only offered online. See the chart for different product releases.
You will see that our catalogs run from May to April. Online Exclusives are released to customers March, July, and November, with no ending dates. They last as long as we have supplies. Don’t wait, however. Once they are gone, they are really gone. Our mini catalogs with new items sold for a limited time come out twice a year – Jan through April and Sept. thorugh December. Our Sale-a-Bration is now once a year only. The lightly shaded areas are actual releases for Demonstrators only.
Local Card and Paper Swap Group Meeting Coming Up!
Our next Local Card and Paper Swap Group meeting will be Thursday, May 16th, at my home. Please go to the Clubs/Classes/Events tab to see more about this or email HERE. I have room for about five more members. I would love to have you join us!
Boy, I’ve been in a slump. I know what the main issues are. I just haven’t been able to address them. First, my craft room is too messy. It needs to be cleaned out. I can’t work or do videos in there when it is so disordered. The other issue is the one of selling vs. having fun. I think every demonstrator has gone through this some time or another. I’m retired and have a pretty active life. Do I want a business, hence a job, or do I want to have a hobby? I know the answer to that for me is to stay in the middle. I enjoy sharing the craft with others. I need some sales to continue buying for myself, but am not willing to devote time to build a business. There are just not enough hours in a day! There are so many very talented demonstrators out there. There is always more to learn, but in my own time.
For now and until I get my craft room in order, I am taking a break. No videos, no classes, no big purchases. Once all is back in order, I can reevaluate what I want to do. Tomorrow, the clean out begins!
Thank you to all who have stuck with me these last years. I really do appreciate the business. It helps me to continue enjoying my hobby.
I’m really not that old. I just feel it sometimes. I was away in October in Italy. I took a trip of a lifetime. It was beautiful and everything I imagined. Unfortunately, traveling took a lot out of me and my husband both. We had a wonderful journey, but took some days off for rest. I fell getting on the airplane in London and spent my first week in Italy in pain. My husband got sick the second week and I the third. It is now November 12 and I am just getting my energy back. I would not trade the experience for anything, but I had no idea I would be out of it for so long.
It’s back to work. I have scheduled some classes in December for my customers to make cards, a gift card envelope, a calendar, and an ornament. I have a lot to do to prepare. I also need to get back to my Tutorial Thursday on YouTube. I’ve really dropped the ball on everything.
I also have a card swap group on Facebook called Card Swappin’ With Friends. Anyone who agrees to use Stampin’ Up! products only may join and swap themed cards in small groups. It’s an excellent way to practice designing, build card inventory, and make friends. If interested, you can find it HERE.
Sale-A-Bration is around the corner. New mini and Sale-A-Bration catalogs will be out in January. Come back to see more of the new products. I haven’t even seen them yet!
Did you know I have a newsletter? I actually keep customers apprised of specials, new products, ideas, clubs, etc. If you would like to be added, send an email to Niecylovestostamp@yahoo.com and provide your full name and email address. I will add you to my newsletter contact list.
Please remember to check out my reward programs. I want my customers to know they are appreciated, so I offer ways for everyone to receive free products.
Yesterday was a great day and a learning experience, all in one. We had our first Local Card and Paper Craft Swap Club Meeting at my home. We managed to make five cards. Most of these girls are beginners and a bit intimidated. I allowed them to use kits to start with as the kits are inclusive and these girls have limited supplies. This gave them a pretty, but basic card project to try and then to share with others. Most kits have eight to nine cards in them, so there is one for everyone. Here is what the girls came up with, along with my own Happy Birthday heat embossed card.
Tutorial Thursday today – July 13, 2023 – was done from a card kit. I chose Forever Friends with eight cards, four of two versions. I love the kits and know my beginner customers do too. I decided to open one and do it for the tutorial to give everyone an idea of how the kits come in the mail and what is included. I then went onto part 2 and did a couple alternative versions. The kit I used is #162363, Forever Friends, and can be ordered HERE.
