Finding Inspiration Thursday

Hi Everyone,

Stampin' Up!'s Online Extravaganza has become a tradition this time of year. While you are starting up your Holiday shopping, be sure to treat yourself to a couple of things you'll love from Stampin' Up!'s online store

This year's sale is a little different. Rather than have a short list of products on sale for the week, the sale is divided into three categories - and each 10% off sale runs for 2 days. Each category includes loads of products from Stampin' Up!'s 2018 Annual Catalog - there are SO MANY ways to save big during this Online Extravaganza. Woo hoo!

10% off of an order over $69.50 is, effectively, free shipping. You like free shipping, right? What a great incentive to place an order at (or about) $70 during each two-day sale.

Today's post shows the sale categories and how the sale will be broken down. In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I'm going to take you through each of the 2-day sales and offer some suggestions for products you might like to purchase. You're welcome.

I keep a small stockpile of adhesives in my stash, so it's always a good day when those go on sale. Stock up - you know you are going to use them. I also love that Dies and Punches are on sale during these two days! You should know, ahead of time, that the Big Shot and Stamparatus are excluded from this sale, but it doesn't mean you shouldn't treat yourself to one this week.

How to Prepare for the Online Extravaganza

Here's what you need to do today (or after turkey tomorrow) to prepare for this big sales event:

• Reintroduce yourself to your 2018 Annual Catalog.
• Define the staples you need to restock (cardstock, ink, Stampin' Blends, adhesives).
• Identify stamp sets and dies and punches you may have overlooked or not yet purchased.
• Make a list. Make a really long list. Include things you are on-the-fence about. 
• On each of the sale days, click on the banner above to see the sale items in my online store.
• Place an order on any (OR ALL) days. For orders under $150, please include the following MysteryHost Code: F3N7K94H. If you want to take advantage of more than one sale, you'll have to place more than one order (and I'm OK with that).  One lucky winner will get all the hostess benefits.

Once the sale kicks off, click on the image below to see the sale items in my online store:
