The Joy of Papercrafting

Hello dear reader

Just popping in to let you know of some changes that are happening in the next few days. But first, the online shop will be on downtime on 8 April at 10:00 p.m. (IE, UK)/23:00 (BE, NL) as there is the transition to the new Stampin’ Rewards programme. The shop will be taken offline for six hours, and while it is being re-jigged, there will be a message about this planned downtime.

Why is it being turned off for a few hours?

We are getting a new rewards programme! There will be no more hostcodes, which also means that you earned rewards only when your order was £150 or more. From 9 April when you place an order of £20/€25 (exluding shipping), you will earn Stampin’ Rewards of 10% of your order value that you can put towards a future order. Your rewards will be banked and you can use them on your next order or save them up.

Some things to note

To benefit from the rewards you will need to have an online customer account and opt in to the rewards programme. If you haven’t set up an account yet as I may have been placing orders on your behalf, I’d recommend setting one up. If you don’t want to do this, you can still checkout as a guest, but no rewards will be earned.

If you would prefer me to deal with your order in terms of placing the order and sending payment to Stampin’ Up! I can still do this but there are two things to note:

1. I can put in your order on your behalf and you will earn Stampin’ Rewards on the qualifying purchase and you will see the order in your order history. However, to use the rewards on a future purchase, you will need to place the order as I will not be able to apply your rewards on your behalf.
2. If you are not happy to have an online account, the process is as before, you let me know what you would like and then send the payment for the order to me (by bank transfer) and I submit the order for you. The drawback is that as you don’t have your own customer account it is not possible for Stampin’ Up! to bank the earned rewards.

A new option is that I can create a customer basket for you. You will need to have an online customer account for me to do this, opt in to marketing and, of course, Stampin Rewards. As before, you send me your list, and I will create a shopping basket for you.

I will email you a link and you can add or remove products and then check out using your payment method. Note that you are not able to save the cart so if you don’t complete the transaction, you will need to go back to your email and use the link again and start over.

Any questions, feel free to get in touch.
