Sale-A-Bration 2021 Second Round

Wooo hooo!  The second round of Sale-A-Bration 2021 has begun!

Sale-A-Bration is an amazing event Stampin' Up!™ offers with opportunities to earn FREE products by placing qualifying orders, hosting a show, or becoming a Demonstrator!  Sale-A-Bration round two runs from Tuesday, August 3 through Thursday, September 30, 2021.

Here's a video from Stampin' Up! to give you a peek at what's available during Sale-A-Bration:

Please remember that if you are reading the blog post in your e-mail feed, you may need to go directly to my blog to be able to see the video link.

Shopping During Sale-A-Bration:

There are two Sale-A-Bration spending categories: $50 and $100. When you purchase at least $50 worth of merchandise (before adding in tax and shipping), you can choose a $50 Sale-A-Bration product for FREE! When you purchase at least $100 worth of merchandise (before adding in tax and shipping), you can choose a $100 Sale-A-Bration product — or two $50 Sale-A-Bration products — for FREE. The more you spend, the more choices you have!

Stampin' Up!™ has already let us know that the following Sale-A-Bration items will only be available while supplies last:

• Be Dazzling 6" x 6" Specialty Paper, page 3, item 156629, available for FREE with qualifying purchase of at least $50 worth of merchandise (before adding in shipping and tax)
• Sheep Dies, page 11, item 156600, coordinate with the Counting Sheep Sale-A-Bration item on page 10, available for FREE with qualifying purchase of at least $50 worth of merchandise (before adding in shipping and tax)
• Summer Shadows Dies, page 13, item 156618, coordinate with the Shaded Summer Set on page 75 of the annual catalog, available for FREE with qualifying purchase of at least $100 worth of merchandise (before adding in shipping and tax)

Once the Sale-A-Bration products listed above sell out, they will no longer be available to earn for FREE.  I have a feeling that they will sell out quickly, so don't wait to earn yours! 

All other Sale-A-Bration products will be available throughout the promotion which ends September 30, 2021. These other Sale-A-Bration products may go into backorder, but the supply will not run out and all orders placed will be honored.

You can place an Online Order for yourself at any time.  Simply click on the Shop Now button in the upper right corner.  This will take you directly to my online store.  Start shopping.  Stampin' Up! will prompt you when you've finished shopping and started to review your cart about any Sale-A-Bration FREE items you have earned.  When you proceed to checkout, you will then select your Sale-A-Bration items. You will not be able to continue the checkout process until you have either selected your free products or acknowledged the option to proceed to checkout without free products.  You will be paying Stampin' Up! directly using a credit card and the order will ship directly to you.  Since you are paying Stampin' Up! directly, you will NOT be able to use any coupons or discounts I offer.

 

If you prefer to place your order through me instead, you certainly can.  Just contact me at michelerey@aol.com to place an order.  If you place an order through me, then you can apply any coupons you may have from me (like a birthday coupon, New Catalog Scavenger Hunt coupon, etc.).  However, I will be unavailable for placing orders between Wednesday, August 18 and Wednesday, September 1 as I will be out of town.

 

Hosting During Sale-A-Bration:

 

Hosting a Show is even more rewarding during Sale-A-Bration. When you host a party with at least $300 in sales (before adding in tax and shipping), you will automatically earn the exclusive In Your Words Stamp Set for FREE along with all the other perks of being a Show Host! This set is only available for FREE to qualifying Hosts during Sale-A-Bration 2021 and is a $23.00 value.  It is a sentiment only set full of great sentiments that have been suggested by Demonstrators for use on a variety of cards.

 

You can host a Hands-On Party with me during Sale-A-Bration at your house, office breakroom, or in my Stampin' Studio.  Everyone who attends will get to make two fun projects!  As the Host, you will earn the benefits based on your Show Total and will also get some extra treats from me.  I'll provide you with samples and catalogs to show around to get people interested in attending and all the invitations and order forms you need.  If you decide to hold the party in my Stampin' Studio, then you don't even have to worry about doing any cleaning! 

 

If you don't want to hold an in person event, you can host a Catalog Party.  I'll provide you with samples and catalogs to show around and order forms so you can collect orders.  You'll still earn the benefits based on your Show Total and will also get some extra treats from me.

 

Interested in hosting a Hands-On Party or Catalog Show?  Just contact me at michelerey@aol.com and we'll work out the details for the best date, time, and location or type of event.  Just remember that I am unavailable between Wednesday, August 18 and Wednesday, September 1 as I will be out of town.

 

You can also just place an order for yourself that qualifies as a Show (at least $150 worth of merchandise before adding in tax and shipping).  You'll still earn the benefits based on your Show Total.  You can place qualifying Show Orders online in the normal fashion or directly through me.

Annual Catalog Items Which Have Gone On Backorder or Not Orderable Status

Stampin' Up!™ tries to forecast how well products will sell, but that really is just guesswork! Sometimes products sell much better than expected. When that happens some products may go on backorder or even go into Not Orderable status while Stampin' Up!™ waits for additional inventory to arrive. Unfortunately because of the pandemic, there are also manufacturing and shipping challenges around the world which is making re-stocking even more difficult.

Stampin' Up!™ let Demonstrators know that the following individual items in the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog are currently selling at higher rates than forecasted and are in backorder or Not Orderable status.

• Soft Succulent Classic Stampin' Pad, page 123, item 155778, $7.50, on backorder, should be available around August 16

Remember, even if a Suite Collection is not available, you can still order most of the items individually!

If you want to purchase any of the individual items, Bundles, or Suite Collections listed above, you might want to plan to do so as soon as possible to make sure you get the items you want before they go into a bigger backorder or Not Orderable Status.

• Etched In Nature Cling Stamp Set, page 101, item 155463, $24.00, on NOT ORDERABLE status because of issues with the artwork which could not be reconciled, this set will never be available to order
• Impression Mats, page 153, item 149660, $10.00, on NOT ORDERABLE status because of manufacturing delays
