Stamp Out Breast Cancer


To show our support for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we're going PINK . . . or at least our October boxes are! And because we know our subscribers want to share the love too, we will be making a donation on their behalf to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF).

Stampin' Up! will donate
  • $1 for every active Paper Pumpkin subscriber.
  • Plus, an additional $1 for every new subscriber.
Together, we will make a difference!
Here's how you can help: 
  1. Subscribe! If you're new to Paper Pumpkin, click here to get started. Your first kit will arrive in a limited-edition pink box that you'll want to hold onto forever-and we'll donate $2 becauseyou're new!
  2. Stay active if you're a subscriber so we can donate $1 for you. Only those who receive the October shipment will be counted for the donation.
  3. Spread the word! Help us get as many new subscribers as possible. Every current subscriber adds $1 and for new subscribers it's doubled, so let's get the word out and raise as much as possible.
  4. Use the images below to spread the word via email, texts, and social media. For those who have been on the fence about Paper Pumpkin, this could be just the thing that makes them want to give it a try!
  5. Use the opportunity to share Paper Pumpkin on World Card Making Day (October 3). If you're holding an event, include a Paper Pumpkin Make & Take. Encourage your customers to sign up by October 10 so they can be a part of something bigger with a donation to BCRF.
Remember, those who get the October kit will not only be donating to a good cause, but they will also get a one-time only, pretty pink Paper Pumpkin box! No one will want to miss it. Promise.
More About BCRF

The Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF) advances the world's most promising research to eradicate breast cancer. Founded by Evelyn H. Lauder in 1993, BCRF has raised more than $550 million to fuel discoveries in tumor biology, genetics, prevention, treatment, survivorship and metastasis, making it one of the largest non-governmental funders of breast cancer research in the world. This year BCRF has invested $58.6 million in research, to support over 235 researchers at leading medical institutions across six continents, including $11.6 million to the international Evelyn H. Lauder Founder's Fund focused on metastasis. By spending 91 cents of every dollar on research and public awareness programs, BCRF remains one of the nation's most fiscally responsible nonprofits. BCRF is the only breast cancer organization with an "A+" from CharityWatch, and has been awarded Charity Navigator's highest rating of four stars 13 times since 2002. For more information, please visit: www.bcrfcure.org.

Additional Details: 

  • New subscribers are those who signed up between September 11 and October 10, 2015and have not been a Paper Pumpkin subscriber at any time in the past. 
  • All funds will be donated in US dollars.
  • Mini spoiler alert! The October project inside the pink box is just as awesome as always, but we should probably let you know that it is not a pink project. That's all we're saying. ;)
  • Funds will be donated based on number of subscribers instead of boxes shipped. But, if you want more than one pink box, you can always increase your subscription quantity by logging into your account at PaperPumpkin.com before October 10.

Flex in September


Wish you could get a jump start on earning flex points? Wish granted! In September, every demonstrator who sells $300 will receive 1,500 flex points. In addition, you will meet your quarterly minimum. What could be better? We expect everyone to be able to earn these points, especially with the new products from the holiday catalog finally available to customers. It's going to be a great month!

Details: 
  • Dates: September 1-30, 2015
  • Flex points earned during this promotion will be deposited October 20.
  • Since these points are promotional, they will not count towards the 500,000 flex point cap for the year.
  • Flex points earned during this promotion can be used on any Flex Account item (that's right, no restrictions)!
  • Additional flex points will not be awarded to demonstrators who exceed $300 in sales in September.
  • Points earned during this promotion will expire on October 31, 2016.
  • Deadlines: To earn flex points, the $300 sales requirement must be met by 11:59 PM (MT) on September 30, 2015.

Convention Highlights

Stamping brought these amazing ladies into my life.... love them so much!

Connecting with the gang.. it was great to do a Monthly Meeting our first night before convention!


Let's Do THIS!!  Starting out together and ready to see all that Stampin' Up! has for us!

Beyond blessed - a great group of ladies who are connected by Stamping!
Roaring 20's night.. the highlight was piling into this vintage ride and taking our picture.

Prize Patrol!!
Susan was so excited to connect with Patty Bennett.  She's such a doll.  
Training.. I am blessed to train with Ronda Wade and connecting with these ladies at a great swap.
Training with Geneveive Ko and seeing her on stage was great!  She had a wonderful presentation!
Sneak Peak of the Paper Pumpkin has us so excited.
Great examples..

Being a Stampin' Up Demonstrator Means To Us...

~ My favorite part of being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator is the ability to be creative and the Fabulous friendships that I have built! - Candace Y.

~ Stampin' Up! is my creative escape and my mommy time. Every SU event I attend or host is a time away from my not-so-creative job and a way for me to take back that time I need as a woman and to meet with (who have become) some of my closest friends. ~ Sarah S.

~ Stampin' Up! is my "Creative Outlet!" ~ Pam

~ Stampin' Up! is my "Female Bond Time!!" ~ Mariacristina

~ Mine has been all the wonderful friendships that have been created. ~ Susie

~ I love the FUN I have while creating Friendships. Making Cards is so rewarding (where being a Mom and Wife doesn't always show me rewards - lol). Sales and Classes Support My Families Budget and I feel like I'm contributing! ~ Jamie A.
