October Newsletter

Mini Catalogue is here

Check out the fantastic mini catalogue online here.  For the last couple of months there's been lots of talk about what would be in the first Australian mini catalogue. The wait has been worth it.  There are 15 new sets, 3 new wheels, punches, tools, patterned papers and more.

The mini catalogue is valid from October 1st until January 31st 2007. The stamp sets are a mixture of Christmas and Spring sets. If you haven't started your Christmas cards yet now would be a good time to book a workshop or place an order and take advantage of the limited time the mini catalogue sets are available.  Contact me to book a workshop or place an order directly.

Specials

From Stampin' Up! - This month's fantastic offer from Stampin' Up! is for those of you considering becoming a demonstrator. If you sign up in October you get to choose a free set of stamps to the value of $79.95. That takes the value of the starter kit to $670 and you only pay $324. A fantastic offer. For more details check out the Specials section of my website.

From me - Place a $300 catalogue order and receive a free punch to the value of $9.50 (there are 7 to choose from) as well as the usual hostess benefits. Mention this offer when placing your order.

Tips and Techniques

Punches - the versatile 1/2 inch (13mm) circle punch fits perfectly over the Little Pieces stamp set and allows you to punch out the stamped images. It also fits over the Alphabits alphabet set allowing you to punch out individual letters to use on your projects.

Mini Catalogue Launch Party

I had a fantastic time at the Mini Catalogue launch party. It's always fun getting together with people who, like me, get excited over the catalogue! Check out the photos in my blog for more pictures of the goodie bags and the make and take projects.

Want to save on postage?

If you live local to me and can collect your order read on for a way to reduce postage. Do you sometimes just need to order a pack of cardstock or a snail refill but can't justify the $5.95 postage? Starting this month I will be putting in an order on the 7th of each month. If the combined order totals over $120 then postage will be reduced to 5%. If the combined total is less than $120 then the $5.95 postage will be divided between the number of customers ordering.

Each month's newsletter will remind you of the upcoming order date.

Website update

Notice a different look to the newsletter?  My website and newsletter have been updated this month.  I now have an online blog where you can check out what I've been up to!  Check out the updated website at www.jaynemercer.com
