May 21st, 2021

Happy World Diversity Day! Stampin Up! is a global company and to celebrate World Diversity Day.. Stampin Up! has created a FREE PDF download that you may use for your paper crafting! How cool is that?

The “United Through Creativity FREE PDF Download will include Multi Cultural and Muti Lingual Craft elements designed to celebrate the Stampin Up! Community. You will find sentiments and illustrations of each of our markets where we engage around the world. This again is FREE for everyone! So exciting!

Here are some samples of what you will find when you download this PDF and scroll to the bottom on directions of how to get your FREE PDF with me!

Aren’t these cool? Each market has 3 sentiments along with other general sentiments.

So, let’s talk about how you will find this PDF to download! Go to my online store here, (you should see my name on this page), and then look for the “sales and specials” in my online store, looking for the “free creative download”.

Click on the “hamburger” (3 lines) on the left side top corner and then a menu will show for you. Then, just download it, print it and select the images and sentiments you’d love to use on a card, scrapbook page or any paper craft!

When you create with them, and share them on social media, please use the hashtags: #unitedthroughcreativity #diversityday.

I’m so excited about this FREE PDF and I hope you are too! Please share your creations with us at my “Dawn’s Creative Chalet Papercrafting Community” Facebook Group! I hope you enjoy helping all of us celebrate diversity, with the community we belong to and the creativity we all enjoy!

Now, make something pretty and get inky!! Stampin Hugs!!

Get Ready! Our New Annual Catalog is coming.. SOON!

May 2nd, 2021

That’s right.. just a few more days until our catalog goes live! May HOST CODE: 6ZBVXKXK

If you have a long wish list (like I do). I wanted to make sure to share this promotion that is starting May 4 – June 14th 2021!

Starting May 4 (and running through June 14), Stampin Up! is giving us all an additional $25 of free product for orders over $250. What a great incentive to pick up all of the new products you want early or to combine orders with a friend who also has a long wish list.

During the Connect, Craft & Collect promotion, qualifying orders take advantage of Stampin’ Up!’s generous Stampin’ Rewards PLUS earn an additional $25 for orders over $250.

QUICK MATH: If you place an order for $250, you earn 10% of your order in Stampin’ Rewards (that’s $25 of free product) PLUS the $25 Additional Stampin’ Rewards from this promotion.That’s $50 of free product! Does it get any better than that?!

You can spend your Stampin’ Rewards on any product you want from the catalog, including exclusive host products (on pages 170-171 of the new catalog) that can only be picked up with Stampin’ Rewards. If you haven’t already checked out the 48-sheet pack of Pattern Party 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper on page 171, then please stop what you are doing right now and check it out!

If a $250 order isn’t in the stars for you, then maybe you have a friend or two who’d like to order with you? I’m more than happy to set up a Host Code for you or place a workshop order for you and your friends so you can earn free rewards. I’d be happy to set up a quick call to talk about ways for you to earn – you may contact me at dawn@dawnscreativechalet.com

Here is a little sneak peek and creative inspiration for you while you wait for the new catalog to go live:

I have a feeling this suite of product will be VERY popular. You’ll find it on pages 10 and 11 of the new annual catalog. The Beauty Of The Earth Suite – Beauty Of Friendship Bundle. Its GORGEOUS! The DSP… you will want at least 2 packs.. its so pretty! So many options with this suite!

Now, go make something pretty and get inky! Have a great creative day!

Welcome Jan – June Spring Mini Catalog & Sale A Bration! I”m SO excited!

Posted by Dawn Bourgette on

January 5th, 2021

It is here! I am just over the moon excited! Good stuff, galore! I”m serious! The entire Mini Catalog is ah-mazing! I have so many favorites! Is that possible? It is! This catalog will be live until June 30th 2021. So many holidays which are celebrated in the late winter, early spring.. think of birthdays, Easter, Mothers Day, New Baby, Wedding and Fathers Day and masculine products! If you’d like to shop with me shop my online store, here! Please use host code: QUZBQDSJ

Here are all the items available in the new Jan – June Mini Catalog:

We have so many bundles that include dies or punches. Our DSP (designer paper) is amazing and of course.. I cannot pass up the best coordinating ribbons and embellishments!

Then, we have Sale A Bration!

What is Sale A Bration?

Stampin Up! rewards you for every $50 you spend. We have 2 different levels of free products!

Level 1: pick a free level one with every $50 purchase!

Level 2: pick a free level 2 for every $100 purchase (and trust me, you will want both of them – yes, we have two, level 2’s!!)

The BEST part of Stampin Up! … joining and becoming part of my Chalet Stampers team! We are a fun and talented group of ladies who love paper crafting as much as YOU do!

This is the BEST deal year around, but during Sale A Bration, Stampin Up! makes things even sweeter!

Here are your choices:

You get to choose $125 of product for $99 (tis is a 25% savings!)
You get FREE shipping (this is a 12.50 savings)
You will get to choose anything you want in your kit! (this can be from the Annual Catalog, the new Mini Catalog and the Clearance Rack).
Stampin Up! will give you a Paper Pumpkin kit, too! (the month given, varies)
You will get 5 packs of 6×6 Designer Series Paper – all 4 color families and the 2020-2022 in colors – all new patterns that you will not see otherwise until the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog.
You will be a part of an amazing group – we have a private FB group where we encourage, inspire, create, recognition, yearly retreat, creative challenges and more!
The hardest part will be .. what to choose to put in your kit!

Please know, you are not obligated to be a business demonstrator. Most on my team are hobby demonstrators – which means, they love Stampin Up! products, love to collect and create with the products they collect. They are happy shoppers! There is nothing wrong with that – and I first and foremost am a happy shopper as well!

You may join with me here!

Here are some peeks at the products. I just love the Berry Blessing bundle (a level 2 item for a $100 min order). Its gorgeous. You will get a stamp set and coordinating pack of 12×12 DSP (which also coordinates with the Sweet Strawberry Bundle on page 44 of our NEW Mini Catalog!

Here is another favorite! The stamp set called “A Touch Of Ink”.. its so pretty and i love the font in this set. This again is a level 2 item (a $100 min order before shipping and tax).

This DSP (designer series paper) is so pretty! Its the Flower and Field Designer Series Paper.

Ok, can we say.. cutest donkey’s ever? The Darling Donkey set is a big hit! It is a level 1 item (free with a $50 min order before shipping and tax(.

This DSP is so pretty.. it has a softer palette and its called “Paper Blooms”. Another “must have!”

The coordinating bundle in our Mini Catalog along with the level 2 in our mini catalog, Berry Blessings.

Oh, and did I mention, that our new Mini Stampin Cut and Emboss Machine is available too? It is so cute!

So what sets our machines apart from the rest? Here are some of our favorite features:

Durable machines with high-quality results. The solid steel construction frame and rubber feet that securely grip the work surface produce crisp, clean, precise cutting and beautifully detailed embossing.
Easy to use. The machines and tools are designed for an intuitive die-cutting and embossing experience. For example, all plates are labeled with a number and are color coded for easy reference and use when building your sandwich. And just like the name suggests, our Magnetic Cutting Plates have fully-magnetic surfaces to make it easy to securely position your dies and keep them in place.
Simple to store. The platforms on both machines fold for space-saving storage and they look pretty too–the sleek, clean design suits any crafting space.
Portable. You can use both machines at home or on the go with their folding platforms and ergonomic carrying handles. This makes it easy to showcase the product line in your classes and workshops! It’s also convenient for your customers who like to attend crops or other crafting get togethers.

I hope I have not overwhelmed you. So much goodness starting today, January 5th.

You may shop with me at my online store here! and use HOST CODE: QUZBQDSJ

Oh! and one last thing….!!! We have “new” Basic White now. The factory that produced our “Whisper White” had gone out of business. Rest assured, Stampin Up! found a new resource and it is as great of quality as our original! Here is the info:

Thank you so much for stopping by! Now, happy shop and get a little inky and make something pretty! *hugs*
