Sale-A Bration is Here!
Stampin' Up's biggest event of the year, Sale-A-Bration, will be going on from Jan. 5th - March 31st. So what makes Sale-A-Bration so special?
* Free Products! For every $50 you spend on Stampin' Up! merchandise, you can choose one of the many stamp sets in the Sale-A-Bration catalog to receive for FREE! If you didn't get the pink Sale-A-Bration catalog in the mail, contact me and I'll make sure you receive one. This is the perfect time to stock up on your stamps, paper, ink, ribbon, tools, and other accessories. The more you buy the more free products you'll earn!
* Extra Hostess Benefits: In addition to the already generous hostess benefits, during Sale-A-Bration hostesses will earn an additional free product for every $300 ordered in their workshop. Plus, hostesses receive the same Sale-A-Bration benefits as their customers when they buy at their own workshop.
* Starter Kit Special: Have you ever considered becoming a Stampin' Up! demonstrator? Or do you just wish you could get the 20% demonstrator discount? Try being a demonstrator for a few months and see how much fun it is. Even if you never hold a single workshop you'll love the value of the starter kit and all the demonstrator resources. Starter kits are 15% off during Sale-A-Bration, and new demonstrators can choose an additional free stamp set valued up to $47.95. Contact me for more information, or see my website at www.CharlysInkLink.StampinUp.net.
How To Earn Your Free Products
Clearly the best way to earn the most free stuff is to host a workshop. Not only can you earn the Sale-A-Bration free products, but you will also receive hostess gifts and free merchandise if your workshop orders total $150 or more.
Book your workshop now to take advantage of the best event of the year. Do your friends a favor and hold your workshop in January, that way they can hold their own Sale-A-Bration workshops before the big sale ends.
It's my job to make hosting a workshop fun and easy for you. See the other side of this newsletter for details on how easy it really is. Have a party! Invite your friends you haven't seen in a while! Everyone will go home with a hand-made craft, and everyone will have fun.
Give me a call or drop me an email!
Mini Reese's Gift Box
Make this gift box for someone you love this Valentine's Day. It holds 12 mini Reese's Peanut Butter Cups with a surprise stamped message inside. The hand stamped box (or designer paper box, as seen here) and swivel tag will be fun to make and sure to impress.
See my next blog post on how to make this with your own supplies, or book a workshop today to make this project with my supplies!
How to Host a Workshop
What is the best way to take advantage of Stampin' Up's amazing Sale-A-Bration event? Host a workshop of course! I want to make hosting as easy and fun for you as possible. Here is a list of all you have to do:
1) Call me! Together we will come up with a date and project for your workshop, and I will bring you your hostess pack which includes Stampin' Up's Idea Book and Catalog.
2) Choose 20 people to invite to your workshop (keeping in mind that only about half the people you invite will be able to come). I will give you a worksheet to help you come up with your guest list.
3) Decide where to have your workshop - at your house, at my house, at a church or clubhouse, or somewhere else. My house is always available!
4) Email your invitations. I'll supply everything you need to make it easy. Following up with a phone call is important, but I can help or even do those for you!
5) Provide munchies. A party is always more fun with something to eat! I recommend grocery store bakery items or heat-and-serve appetizers, a pre-prepared fruit plate, or something else easy. Don't worry about cooking from scratch; the idea is to make this party stress-free.
6) Distribute your guests' orders after they come in, a week or so after your party is over. All the orders from your workshop will arrive at your house in one box, with a clear list of which items are for which guest. You will not, however, have to deal with collecting payment - that will all have been taken care of earlier.
What you DON'T have to do:
1) Sell. Stampin' Up! products sell themselves! If your friends enjoy what they see in your catalog or at your workshop, they will want to buy. If not, that's OK too.
2) Clean your house. Hold your party at my house!
3) Cook. A pot of coffee and grocery store bakery cookies are good enough.
4) Math. You might want to help collecting orders, but I will figure out the tax, shipping, and totals.

Freestyle Stamping Club
The idea behind my Freestyle Stamping Club is for people who are new to stamping to get together and work on their own projects while socializing with friends. Even if you have few supplies you can come, since I will provide ink, some stamp sets, basic tools, and I will have paper packs available for $5.00. The "fee" to join is to buy one stamp set for $15.00 or more, and then bring that stamp set with you to share. If you have scissors, adhesive, card stock and accessories of your own, bring those too so you can use them on your own projects. One stamp purchase pays for 3 club meetings.
January Class - Valentine Magnets
Just in time for Valentine's Day, make a gift tin of beautiful glass refrigerator magnets. Class fee will be aprox. $8.00 depending on the number of attendees.
February Class - Stamped Pendant
This month make 3 pendants for necklaces with colors and designs of your choice. Class fee TBA.
March Class - Travel Games
We will be making a kids' travel game set out of a DVD tin and magnets, with a hand stamped Memory game on one side; and Tic-Tac-Toe on the other. A fun handmade gift for a young friend. Class fee TBA.
April Class - Monogrammed Cards
Perfect for Mother's Day - make a stationery set of monogrammed note cards, a matching pen, and a folder to hold them all. Class fee TBA.
Contact me if you have any questions, would like to sign up for any classes, or want to host a workshop. I'd love to talk to you!
