Stampin’ Up! Video Tutorial Sneak Peek and a Fundraiser for People & Pets Affected by the LA Wildfires

Good morning from snowy, cold and not-really-what-we-south-dwellers-signed-up-for Atlanta!  It wasn’t real cold yesterday – even with the white stuff coming down – it was slushy by the end of the day.  Tonight’s supposed to be pretty chilly – so I bet it’s going to be an ice rink!

Assuming the world doesn’t freeze over and take out the electricity and the internet – I’ll be live tonight at 7pm Eastern over on my Stamps-N-Lingers YouTube channel with a pretty card for you!  Here’s a Sneaky Peek!

Watcha think!?  Can you guess what we’re using?? 🙂

Regardless – I hope you’ll join me to get the WHOLE picture tonight.  7pm Eastern.  Right here! 🙂

Hope to see everyone tonight for the video!

Now – on to something really important!  We’ve all been watching – and crying – as we’ve watched the devastation caused by the wildfires in So Cal.  It’s beyond horrible.  Since there’s really nothing most of us can do that is hands-on – I try to help financially.  So, I recently made a donation to relief efforts for families and pets thru the Greater Good Organization.  As I hit Submit on my small attempt to help, I decided it was time to launch another Fundraiser enlisting the help of my online community of stampers.

Now the Greater Good Organization has mulitple programs – all of which help people, pets and the environment.  Our donation will be targeted to people and pets (and, my goodness, the need is great!) in the Los Angelas area impacted by the fires.

So – we’ve done this before, y’all – let’s make our support heard!

How can you help me help them??

Place a Stampin’ Up! Order Thru Me OR Donate Directly!

And – as an added incentive – I’ll be giving away a new Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine to one winner!

I’m setting a goal of donating a total of $2000 – and here’s how you can help me (and be entered to win a new Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine!).

1 – Shop Online: For any orders placed through my online store between now and 14 Jan 2025 (that’s THIS TUESDAY – so it’s quick!) I’ll be making a targeted donation of 20% of your merchandise total to Greater Good for the Los Angelas wildfire support.

• 20% of orders placed through my online store between now and 14 Jan 2025 will be donated to Greater Good – targeted to LA Wildfire relief efforts.
• You’ll earn Double Peppermint Points and a thank you gift from me with all orders of $50 or greater! If your order is under $150, then be sure to enter my Host Code (X74ZHASF) to get that free gift!  If it’s over $150 – don’t put that code in – YOU spend your Stampin’ Rewards and you’ll still get that ordering gift! 😎
• Anyone ordering $50+ will be entered to win a new Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine from me to be given away on 15 Jan 2025!

Now – here’s what I’m going to do (pay attention!) – since I’ve had a Double Peppermints Ordering Special going since 7 Jan – the day the fires started – if you’ve placed an order of $50 or more since 7 Jan – then your sale amount is going into the donation kitty – and you’ve been entered to win the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine! Of course, you can still place another order (for another entry!)….

OR….

2 – Make a Donation of $50+ directly to Greater Good at this link.

• For those in the US, send me a screenshot (to Mary@StampsNLingers.com) of the receipt for your donation of $50+ to Greater Good and you’ll be entered to win the new Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine* to be given away on 15 January 2025! See the details below.

OR….

3 – Do BOTH!!

• If you order $50+ through my Stampin’ Up! store AND donate at least $50 directly to Greater Good, then your name will be entered TWICE to win the machine!

Please note: Per Stampin’ Up! rules, I’m only allowed to ship the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine to addresses in the United States or military APO addresses.  Only those with US/APO shipping addresses will be eligible to win the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Anyone outside the US is welcome to donate but will not be eligible to win the machine.

NOTE: Orders and/or Donations must be placed by midnight MOUNTAIN Time on 14 January 2025 to be entered to win the machine.

One winner of the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine will be randomly chosen on Wednesday, 15 January from all of the entries received.

And – since I’v already calculated our donation for orders since 7 Jan – let me share where we are as we officially “start” the fundraiser!

So – we’re well on the way to hitting that $2000 goal – AND making a pretty solid donation to folks and the animals who need it pretty desperately!

Thanks in advance for your big-heartedness, y’all!
