Shop for retiring products in my online store.

If there is something on the list of retiring products that you’ve been waiting to order, please place your order as soon as you can to avoid disappointment as all retiring items are only available while supplies last.

The above list will not be updated as products sell out. The easiest way to see which items are still in stock at any time is to visit my online store.

This a great chance to restock your basic supplies like adhesives, cardstock, and envelopes ahead of the busy festive crafting season, and an excuse to get a couple more things off your wish list! Visit my online store to place your order before this offer ends on October 11, 2023.

Why not combine the 35th Anniversary Joining special with the free shipping?!

Most likely, you will still have items on your wish list after you have selected your starter kit items. Why not take advantage of free shipping and order the rest of your wish list using your 20% discount combined with free shipping for a total savings of 31%!!!

Start your holiday shopping with a Paper Pumpkin subscription. While you cannot put a Paper Pumpkin subscription in your starter kit, you can order it after you join. By joining now and ordering a prepaid PP subscription on October 9-11, 2023 when there is free shipping, you will receive a 20% discount off the pre-paid subscription price and free shipping.

A normal Paper Pumpkin subscription costs $23.50 plus shipping totalling $26.09 each month. By joining my team and then ordering the prepaid subscription during free shipping, the cost will be as low as $16.20 each month!!! What a fantastic savings!!

Please contact me at backyardstamper@gmail.com for more information.

October is a busy month with the garden winding down. Time to remove all the spent plants, clean out all of my grow bags and put away all the tomato cages, fencing and hoses. The garden did pretty well despite having way too much rain all summer. It’s a sad time for me as I love being outside working among my garden goodness. Fall also brings beautiful fall foliage to New Hampshire. This week’s weather is fantastic so I hope you will get a chance to head outdoors to enjoy some hiking, leaf peeping or just walking in the cooler air.

Did you know it is Stampin’ Up!’s 35th Anniversary?? WOW! I was first introduced to stamping in 2002 and fell in love with card making. SU offers a range of stamps, paper, ink and tools in beautiful colors that coordinate so that all of your projects look very polished. To celebrate their anniversary SU is offering the most AMAZING joining special ever!

From October 3 – 31, 2023, sign up to join my team and you’ll be able to choose between 2 options for your starter kit:

• Option 1: Get 35% OFF the cost of your Starter Kit ($125 worth of product for only $64.35)
• Option 2: Get 35% MORE product with your Starter Kit (spend $99 and get $168.75 worth of product)

Both options come with FREE shipping (an 11% savings) and business supplies, as well as all the fun that comes with being a part of Stampin’ Up!

But wait, it gets better! Sign up for a Starter Kit during this offer and you will also be automatically registered for our virtual OnStage@Home event on November 11, 2023 completely FREE of charge ($77 value; includes access to the event via the online events portal only). Stampin’ Up! events are so fun and to attend for free is just a fantastic opportunity!

I get asked often, “Do I have to hold card classes, blog or do videos to be a demonstrator?” NO!!

The opportunity to grow a business is available to all but many of my team members are discount shoppers who joined for the 20% discount on their purchases. If you enjoy paper crafting and purchasing quality products at a discount, then I would love to have you join my team!

One of my favorite things about being a demo is getting to preorder when new catalogs or releases come out. I can get my hands on the newest items a month earlier than they are released to customers!! There will be a new release of online exclusives on November 7, but we can preorder starting today!!

Sign up online between October 3-31, 2023, or contact me at backyardstamper@gmail.com if you have any questions. I am happy to answer any questions you may have.

Had some time last week to finally start on some older Paper Pumpkin and kits that I have kicking around. I used the A Million Thanks Kit, Pick of the Crop Paper Pumpkin June 2022, Sweet Sunflowers Paper Pumpkin August 2022 and From the North Pole Paper Pumpkin November 2022. In all, I was able to create 39 cards and 12 Holiday gift bags/tags. Yippee for me!

I love the ease of kits and Paper Pumpkin – they each contain all that you need to complete projects (you just need scissors!). The difference between our Kit Collections and Paper Pumpkin is you can view the contents of the kit prior to purchase where Paper Pumpkin is a monthly subscription. In fact, Paper Pumpkin is a surprise each month which is very fun and exciting.

Here is what I mean by a tease… we don’t know exactly what will be in our kit but there will be an additional stamp set is included FREE with August’s kit. The stamp set is one of our Distinktive™ sets, which means you’ll get additional detail and texture when using it in your projects.

Pick up a prepaid subscription (1, 3, 6, or 12 months) from my online store, or set up a monthly subscription. To receive the August kit, you must subscribe or activate your prepaid code before August 10, 2023.

Our Kit Collection will be on sale at a 30% discount beginning August 1 while supplies last! This is a great time to do some early holiday shopping – kids (young and old) love to craft!
