Online Host Club and Refer-A-Friend

Comments: 0

Happy Friday, Stampin’ Friends!

As I  wait for more snow here in SE Iowa, I thought it would be a great time to talk about two new Stampin’ Schach programs I am really excited about:  my new Online Host Club and Refer-A-Friend!  So grab a cup of your favorite beverage (hot tea for me), and read away!

Are you ready to reap the benefits of combining the value of your online orders with those of other stampers? Are you ready to use a shared Host Code and take your turn at receiving free product? If so, you may want to join The Stampin’ Schach’s Online Host Club!

Each month, for a total of six consecutive months,  you place your order online, through my site,  using a special host code which I provide for you.  When it is your turn to be host, you will reap the rewards!

Ready to learn more?
  • Email me (ann@thestampinschach.com) and let me know you want to sign up for a club.
  • When 6 people have signed up, I will email everyone to let them know the club is ready to start.
  • Every month for six months, each club member will place an online order that is at least $25 (before shipping and handling) in my online store, using a special host code which I will email you each month.
  • As a club member, one of those 6 months you will be allowed to choose free host reward products.  Because club members can order more than $25 a month, it is possible that your rewards can be greater than those available at the $150 level.
  • Hosts will be selected in the order in which they sign up for the club.  For example, the first person to email me will be the first host once the club has filled.  During your host month, I will work closely with you to place your order and to order your rewards.
  • All club members will receive a tutorial each month.
  • Club members who purchase $50 in a month (before tax and shipping), will earn Shop with Schach Rewards Points. Read about the Shop with Schach Loyalty points HERE.
  • Club members who purchase $75+ in a month (before tax and shipping), will receive a product perk from me, valued between $5 and $8. These perks will usually be embellishments or ribbons, and will be randomly selected by me.
  • Club members are responsible for any and all taxes and shipping fees on their orders and on Host Reward products (if applicable). Please remember that minimum shipping is $6.95, and that in some states, host rewards are taxable.

Please remember, this is a 6 month commitment, of at least $25 per month (before tax and shipping).  The success of the club depends on every member fulfilling their commitment.

Questions and Answers

Q. Can I order more than $25?
A. Absolutely! In fact, during Sale-A-Bration, you will probably want to place a $50 order so you can receive FREE Sale-A-Bration items.

Q. During my host month, can I get orders from my friends?
A. Of course! They can place their order in my online store, using your host code!

Q. Can I cancel if I decide the Club is not for me?
A. We are asking for a 6 month commitment. Your fellow club members are depending on you to place your order each month.

Q. How long do I have to place my order?
A. You will have seven days after receiving the host code in which to place your order. We don’t want to keep our host in suspense as to how may dollars in host rewards they have to spend.

Q. When will I receive my goodies?
A. Because everyone except the host is placing their order online using the host code, you will receive your products within the normal Stampin’ Up! shipping time. Your free tutorial will be emailed to you no later than 1-2 days after you place your order.  If you place a $75+ order, and are eligible for a free product perk…these will be ordered at the end of the month. Please allow 2-3 weeks for me to get the items ordered from Stampin’ Up!, received at my home, and mailed out to you.

If you have any other questions, do not hesitate to email me!

Refer-a-Friend Program

Host Club Refer A FriendHere is an easy way for both you and a stamping friend to earn a FREE gift from me.  If a friend whom you refer to The Stampin’ Schach places an order of $75 or more (before tax and shipping), using the Host Code for the month, you will BOTH receive a little something-something from me valued at $5 or more.

  • Email the name of your friend to me.  I will be on the look out for an online order from your friend.  There is no limit to the number of friends you can refer.
  • Once I receive notification that an order of $75 has been placed, using the Host Code for that month, I will email both of you to let you know you have earned a FREE gift from me, valued at $5 or more. (This could be current product, retired product or promotional products.)
  • Please allow 2 – 3 weeks after the end of the month for your gift to arrive.

When placing your online order, be sure to use this month’s Host Code.  Orders of $50 (before tax and shipping) qualify for FREE Sale-A-Bration Products.  Online orders over $75 (before tax and shipping) will receive a special little somethin’-somethin’ from me IF you use the Host Code AND will receive FREE Sale-A-Bration products. If your order is $150 or more, please do not use the Host Code.  You will receive your own stampin’ rewards as well as your free gift from me AND your Sale-A-Bration rewards!

A Larger Romantic Card

, ,
Comments: 6

In yesterday’s post,  I mentioned that one can easily transform the small romantic card featured into a larger 4-1/4″ x  5-1/2″ romantic card.  I set about to do just that,  and in doing so, I changed my initial idea.  Originally  I was going to create the same layout on a larger scale.  While getting ready to create the embossed circle, I sat yesterday’s card on top of the card base I had already created. Whoa, Nellie! I liked what I saw!  I love layers, and this card filled the bill.

So, if a small romantic card isn’t what you need,  just “pop” it atop a card base!

Before

I used this floral vellum pattern, since it was part of my original plan.  I had already matted and adhered it to the card base.  But I did hold up yesterday’s card against the Petal Pink vellum from the same Wonderful Romance Specialty Designer Series Paper collection, and it was so pretty, especially when overlayed upon white.  I would definitely use it as an alternative.

Today I am CASEing an adorable card from the Occasions Catalog. This card uses the Wonderful Romance bundle.  I hope you enjoy today’s small romantic card.

small romantic cardI love this small romantic card.  This floral vellum, from the Floral Romance Specialty Designer Series Paper collection, is gorgeous.  For a non-standard size card (this one measures 2-1/2″ x 4-1/2″ when folded), there are lots of details to set this card apart.

“On the CASE” Notes
Your Step-by-Step Guide

1.  Score the Mossy Meadow cardstock at 4-1/2″ to form the card base. Crease with a bone folder.

2.  Adhere the vellum to the Pear Pizzazz cardstock.  Add to the card base.

small romantic card3.  Emboss the Sahara Sand cardstock using the Lace embossing folder. Rub the white craft ink pad over the surface to add color.  Allow the ink to dry.

small romantic cardPunch out using the 2-1/4″ circle punch.  Adhere to the card with dimensionals.

small romantic card4.  Selectively ink the words of the sentiment using a Crumb Cake Stampin’ Write Marker®.   Stamp onto 2″ x 1″ Whisper White cardstock.  Snip a “V” in the left end. Adhere to the embossed circle. (Note:  Stampin’ Up! used a Sahara Sand Stampin’ Write Marker®,  but I felt mine was too light, so I opted to use Crumb Cake.)

small romantic card5.  Ink both styles of leafy fronds in Pear Pizzazz and stamp onto Pear Pizzazz cardstock. Die cut using the appropriate Wonderful Romance framelit.

small romantic cardAdhere to the card.  I used SNAIL.

small romantic card6.  Ink the small blossom in Petal Pink and stamp onto Petal Pink cardstock.  Repeat to create a total of three.  Die cut out using the framelits.

small romantic card7. Adhere to the card using glue dots.  Accent the center of each with a pearl.  Add a small Fresh Fig bow. (Note:  Stampin’ Up!’s sample uses a bow created from the new Petal Pink and White 5/8″ Variegated Ribbon which had been split.  Since I found this a little difficult to work with and create a pretty bow, I finally gave up and used Fresh Fig ribbon.)

small romantic cardIsn’t this such a pretty little card? I love it.  This could easily be translated into a 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ size, as you shall see tomorrow!

small romantic cardHow Hard Was It to Crack This CASE

This small romantic card is filled with beautiful details.  The stamping is simple, and the die cutting is easy.  Just remember to allow the craft ink to dry before punching out the embossed circle.  Difficulty Level:  3 out of 5, because of the time involved and the number of steps.
