In a world that sometimes seems overwhelmed with the hustle and bustle of daily life, taking a moment to express gratitude can make a world of difference. That's why, in last week's World Card-Making Event from Ink and Inspirations, we focused on the power of sending handmade cards to convey those grateful sentiments.

The featured cards in the event were designed to be simple yet beautiful, perfect for expressing your heartfelt appreciation. You can watch the video below to see how to create these cards and join us in spreading gratitude far and wide.

Special!

Would you like to make these three cards?  The card kits will be sent to you FREE with a qualifying order from my Online Store using Host Code TEPZPCH3! ($50 minimum before shipping and tax)
And, to sweeten the deal, place your order with the Host Code, and if your order is $75 before tax, you will get FREE Shipping through the end of the day, Wednesday, October 11!

Let's build a gratitude movement, one card at a time. Reach out to friends, family, or anyone who's made a positive impact on your life, and let them know how much you appreciate them. A small gesture like a handmade card can brighten someone's day and inspire a ripple effect of kindness and appreciation.

Together, we can make a difference through the simple act of sending a card. Join us in this mission to spread gratitude, one heartfelt note at a time.

For the start of this new mini catalog, I am excited to offer you the Everyone's A Host, 10 for $1000 Event.

Here's how it works: 

If you choose to participate, you will place an online order of at least $100 (before shipping and tax) using the Host Code Link that I will email out early on the morning of Wednesday, September 6th.  I will provide a link that will apply the Host Code for you.

Be sure you are on my email list to receive this information!  You can sign up HERE!

Everyone who participates and places a qualifying order with that Host Code will receive $15 in FREE product of your choice for your $100 order.  And, you can submit as many $100 orders as you like!* 

Timeline:

Place your online order with the Host Code between September 6 (Wednesday) -September 15th (Friday).  

Contact me after you place your order and I will email you to see what you'd like for your $15. (*If your order is $200 before shipping and tax, you'll get $30 in FREE, and so on...)

***With your choices, you must get as close to your $15 (or $30 for a $200 order or $45 for a $300 order) without going over. 

Some ideas to choose from for your $15:

• Embellishments: An $8 pack and a $7 pack.
• A $13 Kit from the Kit Collection.
• Designer or Specialty Papers not to exceed your FREE amount.
• Your Choice of a Pack of Stampin' Blends($10) and a Color Lifter ($5).
• Combination of adhesives not to exceed your FREE amount.
• An Ink Pad ($9) and it's refill ($5).
• And, many more combinations!

There are lots of possibilities!  Your order may be in any amount but the Rewards will be earned for increments of $100.  

Usually, you have to order at least $150 in products to get $15 in Host Rewards.  By all 10 participants using the Host Code,  I am able to offer you $15 in FREE Stampin' Rewards! 

What Should You Do Next?

1. Let me know if you plan on participating in the Everyone's A Host 10 for $1000! Email me!
    
2. Place your order with the link I will send you  on early of the morning of September 6th or as soon as possible with the latest being Friday, September 15th. You must use the link or add the Host Code to qualify! (I will send this link to everyone for you to use when placing your order for whatever amount.)
   As soon as I receive each total of $1000 in orders and the participants' choices for rewards, I will place the order.  If that is before the 15th, I will assign a new Host Code for others still wishing to participate.
    
3. After you place your order with the Host Code, email me with what you would like with your $15. (You cannot choose anything that totals over $15 unless you earn more with each $100 before shipping and tax.)
    
4. After I close out the orders with the Host Code, I will order all of your Host Reward choices and mail to you after I receive.
    
5. It takes time to get all 10 host orders so please let me know if you plan to participate as soon as possible.  I don't want you to miss out!

Note: This is a special offering since September 30th is the close of the Stampin' Up! year. I am still working to achieve my goal for the year and this is a special thank you from me!
