Three Easy Payments!
Hello everyone! Here is the 411 on ordering the kit in three easy payments! This is so awesome! Stampin' Up understands the hard economic times we are all facing and wants to help each one of you making money doing what you love without breaking the bank! This opportunity is currently available through April 30th and with Sale-a-bration in effect until March 31st now is the time to become a demonstrator! During Sale-a-bration, you will receive 15% off the price of the starter kit, a free stamp set and NOW you have the option to make three easy payments on the kit. How cool is that? Wait it gets even better! Your starter kit is actually shipped to you after you just make the first payment! You don't have to wait until you've finished paying before you get the product. It's easy peasy and a great way to earn extra income, have fun with your friends, and get a discount on awesome products! What follows is from the SU! home office on all the details you need to know. If you have a question please ask by emailing me at stampingdevine@gmail.com or calling at 336.953.3646!
How it Works
At the time a recruit signs up, she fills out her Starter Kit form and other paperwork as usual, but must also write "Three Easy Payments option" at the top of each form. (Please note that the Three Easy Payments option is not available through the Online Independent Demonstrator Application. Recruits who wish to take advantage of the offer must submit their paperwork by mail to Demonstrator Support.)
The recruit must also complete a separate Three Easy Payments form, available for download from the Customer and Demonstrator Web Sites.
Using the credit card information provided on her Three Easy Payments form, Stampin' Up! charges the initial Starter Kit payment (see the table below for a breakdown of payments) on the day paperwork is processed and sends the recruit her the Starter Kit.
On or around the 15th day of the two months following the month Stampin' Up! received her paperwork, Stampin' Up! will charge the subsequent payments using the same credit card information provided on the Three Easy Payments form, and the Starter Kit will be paid in full. Stampin' Up! will only accept the same credit card for all three payments, as provided on the Three Easy Payments form. Checks or money orders will not be accepted.
Details and Restrictions
To qualify for the Three Easy Payments option on the discounted Sale-A-Bration Starter Kit price of $169, Starter Kit paperwork and an accompanying Three Easy Payments form must be received by Stampin' Up! (not postmarked) on or before March 31, 2009. Paperwork received after this time will be processed for the regular Starter Kit price of $199.
After Sale-A-Bration, to qualify for the Three Easy Payments option on the regular Starter Kit price of $199, Starter Kit paperwork and an accompanying Three Easy Payments form must be received by Stampin' Up! (not postmarked) on or before April 30, 2009. Any Three Easy Payments forms received after this time will not be processed. Demonstrator Support will contact the recruit to determine how she would like to proceed.
Any applicable state taxes will be charged with the first Starter Kit payment. (The full amount of taxes applicable to the total Starter Kit amount will be added to the first payment. No taxes will be applied to the second and third payments.)
For recruits who wish to add the Stampin' Memories Starter Kit add-on for $50.00, this full amount (including any applicable taxes for the add-on) will be added to their initial Starter Kit payment.
Any commissions for the demonstrator will be held until the final Starter Kit payment is successfully completed. At that point, Stampin' Up! will release commissions to the demonstrator. In the event that the second or third payment is unsuccessful, Stampin' Up! will satisfy the payment from the demonstrator's commissions and if necessary continue to hold commissions until the full Starter Kit payment is satisfied. Any remaining funds will then be released to the demonstrator.
The Three Easy Payments option is not available through the Online Independent Demonstrator Application. Recruits who wish to take advantage of the offer must submit their paperwork by mail to Demonstrator Support.
Recruits participating in a regional seminar recruiting promotion are not eligible for the Three Easy Payments option.

Easter Wishes
Hello everyone! Man do I feel refreshed! I was so tired yesterday that I went to bed at 8:30!
LOL. Today's card is a really simply and fast card. I used the Textures Plates #4 for the cute paisley background on the whisper white card stock and then used the Stampin' Pastels to color one of the paisleys. I also used the Lots of Tags Sizzlit to cut out Pretty in Pink Card Stock and runned on Easter Wishes with the Chit Chat Run-Ons. This card took me all of 15 minutes to make! To view today's Project Worksheet please click the appropriate link (DOC or PDF). I hope you all have a really wonderful day! Bye for now.

Two cards today!
Hello everyone! Today I have two cards to share with you! Hooray! But first here are the PWs for yesterday's Pretty Petals card (DOC or PDF).
Our first card today was one that I did for TLC212 Challenge on Splitcoast. The technique was ribbon frame. Isn't it cute? There are so many ways you can use this and I can't wait to have time to play around! I am hoping to begin integrating videos on these different techniques that I've been learning so that I can share them with you! For now, here are the PWs (DOC or PDF).Our next card is the actual card I made for blogging today.This cute little Easter bunny is from the Eight Great Greetings Stamp set from the new Occasions Mini Catalog. Now although the catalog isn't going to be released until April 1, you all are able to preorder some of the sets now! To view these sets please click my link to the right and if you want to order please just click my signature at the end of this post. I do not have any project worksheets yet for this card but I will have them by this evening!
