Stampin' Blends are Here!!

Yippee!! The Stampin' Blends NEW Colors are HERE!!! I ordered all 11 colors today! I LOVE these alcohol markers as they make everyone look like an artist!! I offered a club (monthly buy) when the original colors were introduced earlier this year. I am planning to offer 2 separate clubs both beginning in July. the first will be for those people who only need the 11 new colors and the second will go for a few extra months for those needing all of the Blends.

The Stampin' Blends are available in 22 exclusive Stampin' Up! colors. I have spent time coloring with these markers and found them to be VERY easy to use! They can make anyone color like an artist!! They are so much fun and so easy to use. I will be offering a “how-to” at the studio very soon.

If you invest in the entire set of Stampin' Blends, including the Ivory, Bronze and Color Lifter, it will cost $211.50 plus S/H. I offered a club for the original set of 27 markers when they were introduced earlier this year. It made getting the markers much more affordable and several people took advantage of the opportunity. I am going to offer 2 different blends clubs as soon as they are orderable in mid-June. I will offer one club for all 22 colors plus the ivory, bronze and color lifter markers. I will also offer a club for just the 11 new colors.

When you join the 22 color club you will receive 3 sets of the Stampin' Blends for 2 months along with the 3 single markers (bronze, ivory and color lifter) and 4 sets of markers for 4 months. (July thru November). Payments can be made by check or credit card. If you choose to pay by check, I have to have your check by the 4th of each month. The monthly cost will be $45 and will include several additional items during the club months. Additional items will include a Memento Black ink pad,4 stamp cases for storage, and a stamp set.

Month 1 You will receive 3 sets of Stampin' Blends markers, the Momento Black ink pad and the Color Lifter Marker. Month 2 You will receive 3 sets of Stampin' Blends markers, 2 stamping cases to store your Stampin' Blends markers in, and the Bronze and Ivory markers. Month 3 You will receive 4 sets of the Stampin' Blends markers, and a sampling of embellishments to color with the Blends. Month 4 You will receive 4 sets of the Stampin' Blends markers and a sampling of ribbons to color with the Blends. Month 5 You will receive 4 sets of the Stampin' Blends markers, and 2 more cases for your markers. Month 6 You will receive your final 4 sets of the Stampin' Blends markers and either the Springtime Stroll or Hand Delivered stamp set (choice made at the start of the club with a value of $12).

The 4 month long, 11 new color club will include the 11 new colors of Blends (duos) 2 cases to hold your markers and either the Sitting Here or Heartland stamp set valued at $17.00. The first 3 months will have 3 colors each. Month 2 will include your 2 cases and Month 4 will have 2 colors and your stamp set. (July- October). The monthly cost will be $32 payable by credit card or check. If you are paying by check I will need the payment by the 4th of each month.

Busy Day Today!

So today I met with Stacey Nachajski of Great Brook Marketing. This was our second consultation and she helped me get lots of awesome online work done! I now have 

an Instagram account that is linked to my facebook business page and is helping people 

find and join my private group! Check it out at https://www.instagram.com/luvinkandpaper/

My private Facebook group is called Leslie's Stampin' Pals and will feature samples and tips as 
well as information about classes and events. If I have VIP only information that is where I will 
put it. Right now the VIP Studio Sale hours are posted there. 

I worked on packaging and pricing paper today. I have lots of unopened packages of 81/2" x 11"
card stock as well as many partial packages of the recently retired colors. Yesterday I priced 

many stamp sets. I have marked them all at 30% of the catalog price. That is less than I paid 
for them and is actually a 40% discount since there is no shipping! Be sure to arrive early for the 
best selection!

Tomorrow I will move a few more tables and pick up things that are not for sale....Big Shots
 and accessories!! Someone saw one of my Big Shots in the background of a photo today 
and asked if it was for sale. No, I often wish I had a third during some classes!

 So did you lose power during last Monday's storm? There was power at the studio but not the 
house so Rich and I took an air mattress and his c-pap and camped out at the studio. It was 
not the best night's sleep I've ever had but way better than at home with no lights, fans, or 

cpap for Rich!! 
I am working to get more consistent with this blog. If you have ideas for things you would like to see here please let me know! Until next time...
