June Promotions

For June, Stampin' Up! are running two great offers. If you place an order in June both of these offers are open to all, no minimum order applies. And of course if you book a workshop and meet qualifying sales then you also get the usual hostess benefits.


My extra offer for June is that I am extending my flat rate postage offer of £2 for all orders of £35 and over.(Postage is usually 5% with a minimum of £3.95)


Contact me to place an order or to discuss holding a workshop in your house or as an alternative I can hold a stamping evening with the opportunity to make a number of cards or bigger projects for a small charge with all materials provided. If you have any other ideas please ask, I love sharing my hobby with others and am open to suggestions. Some customers share the catalogue with friends to make up an order that qualifies for hostess benefits, that's any order delivered to one address for £150 or more. Hostess benefits include a free stamp set and money to spend in the catalogue plus you get a free catalogue and ideas book to keep
