Dear Linda
I'm definitely still jet lagged from my trip to Salt Lake City!! I attended Stampin' Up!'s 20th anniversary convention. Had a great time with my friends from across the country & continent and saw lots of great samples -aka future class projects!! There are TONS of great deals to be had in the near future - I had a hard time deciding what to leave out of this newsletter! Don't forget that you can always check my blog at www.yamstamps.com to hear the latest news.
Even though I'm still in holiday mode, it's time to gear up for the new catalogue season. Be sure to attend my retired rubber sale and New Catalogue Open House Saturday, August 16th, 10 - 2pm. If you would RSVP it will help me prepare for the hoardes... Looks like my Big Shot die cutting machine will be here by then, too!!
Please check out my upcoming schedule. Stamper/scrapper club members, watch for an email from me soon with details for our first get together. As always, please contact me if you have any questions, or want to be one of the first to host a new catalogue party!! | |

| Tool of the Month - the BIG SHOT!! |
OK, I know it's a little early, but I couldn't resist. 
This month's tool is the BRAND SPANKING NEW Stampin' Up! edition of the Big Shot!! This was just announced at the convention and you should have heard the screams from all the demos!! I have already placed my preorder (what a surprise, eh?!) Stampin' Up! is also introducing some exclusive dies as well as offering some other great dies...I'm itching to get my hands on them and play! In the meantime.... I'll let you know a bit about the Big Shot and my special offer...
It can cut through almost 50 different types of materials from paper and cardstock to fabric, chipboard and balsa wood! If you already have a die cutting machine, just fyi - Cuttlebug dies will work in the Big Shot but not vice versa (they're too thick). The Big Shot is the same as the Big Kick... Stampin' Up! classy brass embossing templates can be used in the Big Shot (special pads required, will be available for order through Stampin' Up!)...and Stampin' Up! will be offering vinyl & chipboard suitable for running through the Big Shot.
Here's my special offer to you! If you PRE-ORDER the Big Shot starter kit, receive 15% off ANY die ordered at the same time. Pre-order the Big Shot starter kit with the bag, receive 20% off any die ordered at the same time. See below for the fine print!
Estimated time for customer orders to take effect is September - so if you're thinking about it - please contact me with your pre-order BY August 31st. Payment receipt is required when you place your pre-order - credit card or cheque accepted - payments WILL NOT be applied (put through, cashed, however you want to term it) until the order is placed with Stampin' Up! ANOTHER BONUS - your pre-order will qualify for a Level 1 Hostess stamp set and $20 free merchandise - if you select the kit with the bag option, you get $25 free! Please contact me if you have ANY questions or are ready to take advantage of this deal!! |
