nullDear ,
 
Welcome to this month's newsletter.  There's a lot going on this month!

Hostesses:  Mark your calendar, my Hostess Appreciation Party will be held Saturday, July 9th from 10 to 1 p.m.  You won't want to miss it!

I would love to give you a free copy of the new catalog!  It retails for $10, but I'd be happy to give it to you for free.  However, before I do I need to have a phone conversation with you.  If you want a free catalog just send me your name, address & phone number (sorry, U.S. residents only).
 
I will be shipping out the new catalog in late June.  However, if you'd like to receive a copy of the catalog before anyone else just do one of the following by June 15th:
  1. Place an online order of $50 or more
  2. Book a workshop for July or August
  3. Sign up for one of my June or July classes

If you do any one of those three things I will send you the catalog early and you will receive the catalog before anyone else!

Tool Tip:
Paper Piercing Tool

Did you know that the Paper Piercing Tool can be used for more than piercing holes for brads and other embellishments? You can also use it as a focal point on your art piece! In the sample below I have shown you how to make a faux stitching line around a piece of card stock.  What other ways can you think of to use it?
 


SUPPLIES:
Mat Pack (105826), Paper Piercing Tool (116631), Miscellaneous card stock and Stampin'Write Marker (your choice of colors)
Note: Sample uses a 2" square of Whisper White card stock (100730) and a Basic Black Stampin;Write Marker (102995)

INSTRUCTIONS:
Place your card stock on the mat. Line up the template (small holes) with the first black line on one corner of the card stock. Pierce the holes on two sides of the card stock with the Paper Piercing Tool. Turn the card stock and repeat on the other two sides. Use a Stampin'Write Marker to draw connecting lines between the holes. That's it!
 
Feel free to contact me if you have any trouble with this process. Try it! You will love it.

Ask Rebecca 
 
Q:  Why can't you, my demonstrator, order Clearance Rack products for me and my workshop guests?
 
A:  The Clearance Rack contains Stampin' Up! retired items and are available on a 'while supplies last' basis. If I take an order at a workshop, collect payment, and then place the order, supplies for a Clearance Rack item could have been depleted between the time you saw the product and the time I placed the order. Money would need to be returned to guests from the workshop and could affect your Hostess Benefits.
 
Instead, place Clearance Rack orders yourself through my Online Store and know right away if the items are still available. Don't miss out on the terrific bargains the Clearance Rack has to offer!
 
 
Have a question for me?
