• Ready to Join our team?  Click HERE  for more information. One of the perks of being a demonstrator is to pre-order before a new catalog launches so you can show your customers what they can look forward to having when the new catalog comes out.  You will also be getting at least a 20% discount on purchases. If you love card-making as a hobby, you can still be a demonstrator and get that discount to help get more card-making items,  or you can be like I was and buy Stampin’ Up! products for 10 years before I became wise enough to become a demonstrator to get the discount.  When I think of all the stamping products that 20% would have brought over those 10 years, I cringe.

Paper Pumpkin Price Increase

Beginning April 11, Paper Pumpkin is increasing its subscription prices to accommodate rising manufacturing costs. All new subscriptions purchased on or after April 11 will be at the new price. 
The price increase will go toward product value—which means that demonstrators will earn more on order commissions. In addition, starting Tuesday, April 15, Paper Pumpkin subscriptions will qualify for rewards through the new Stampin’ Rewards program.

The first kit at the new price, the May Mountain Majesties Kit, will bill on May 11 at 12:01 a.m. (MT).

STAMPIN’ REWARDS CHANGES COMING ON  APRIL 15, 2025

Stampin’ Up! is updating their Rewards Program beginning mid-April!

The current Stampin’ Rewards program that Stampin’ Up! has had for many years will be going away
Bottom line? You’ll be able to earn Stampin’ Rewards on smaller orders!  Whoo-hoo!! 
Here’s the deets:

• You’re not going to have to place a large order of $150+ to earn free product, as it is with the current Stampin’ Rewards system. 
• Starting  April 15,  2025 at 8 AM MT and moving forward, you’ll earn 10% rewards with orders of $20+!! So…for example, when you place an order of $50 you’ll earn a $5 reward to use the next time you shop!
• You can save your rewards for up to a year! So, you can spend them on a future order all at once or a little at a time.  Boom!
• Additionally, the “host code” is going away….so beginning April 15, 2025, you won’t need to apply my current host code to your order. 
  • Please note – this DOES mean that my $10 thank you gifts will also be going away on  April 15, 2025, since I used the host rewards to “purchase” those gifts for everyone.  But – since YOU’LL be earning 10% back in rewards directly from Stampin’ Up! with every order of $20+, then you’re going to be able to cash in those rewards for anything you’d like – on any order you want to use them on!

What should you know now to prepare for these changes?
Here are a few things that you can do to make the transition to the new program as smooth as possible:

• You DO need to have a Stampin’ Up! online store account at stampinup.com so you can earn and redeem rewards.
  • I will NOT be able to create and manage customer accounts. I can still help you with ordering if you need me to, but, because of stricter banking policies and data/privacy laws, you’ll need to officially be in charge of your own customer account for earning & redeeming rewards.  So make sure you’re able to log in at stampinup.com.
• NOTE! You must “opt in” to the program to earn and redeem Stampin’ Rewards.  When you place your first order after  April 15 – you’ll have the chance to “Opt In”.  That’s a good time to do it so you’ll earn Rewards on THAT order!  But – if you decide NOT to at that point – you can always do it on a future order! 
• Don’t want a Stampin’ Up! online store account?? You can still have me place your order for you!  You won’t get the Stampin’ Rewards directly – they’ll come to me and I’ll apply them to a future order for you.
• If you DO NOT want to “Opt in” to the rewards program, you don’t have to – you can still place orders, but be aware that you won’t receive the Stampin’ Rewards for your purchases. 

Again these changes will begin  April 15, 2025 at 8 AM Mountain Time.  I’m letting you know a little early so that you’re ready for the changes.  Let me know if you have any questions.
