New Year New Programs New Catalogs New Products
If nothing else, 2020 has taught us to be flexible! In this newsletter you will see several changes – some due to Covid concerns and some simply because after three years with Stampin’ Up I’m learning not only from others, but responding to your feedback. As always, I thank you for your patronage and friendship.

New Mini Catalog begins January 5. I’ve mailed many and delivered some in person. If you haven’t received yours by Christmas, let me know and I’ll get one to you. There are so many great new sets I’m having a hard time picking a favorite! Our team is putting together samples for several of the sets to share.
Sale-A-Bration also begin January 5. For every $50 in sales you will have free products to choose from. It will run Jan. and Feb. A new FaceBook group has been added to store the videos and how-to files for your use in the Connie’s Craft Room FB called 2021 Sale-A-Bration.


When we were doing classes in my home, we were sharing credit and including extra items with orders. This year I am introducing Rose Gold for customers and our team (Texas Yellow Roses) to earn free products of your choice. For customer orders over $35, you will receive 10% credit on your account with me (no other demo as this is a program of my own). You can use this credit toward your next order or save up credit toward a larger order; your choice.

With the new catalog I’m offering two shares for those who don’t need full sets of the new papers and/or the new ribbons.
