New Look to the Blog and My First Ever Facebook Party

Hey everyone! Don't touch that mouse! Yes, you are in the right place! I just rejuvenated my blog over the weekend, with a new look and a new banner! I still have some tidy up work to do, but I'm really happy with my new banner. It was actually water-coloured by my daughter, Jaimie, and features my new logo - the Papercraft Cat!

 For longtime readers of my blog, you'll know that my cat, Pickle, is a papercrafter. Every night she will go down to my craft room and pounce on her prey, usually a stray piece of cardstock or a random sheet of Dimensionals, and bring them up to deposit them outside my bedroom door, announcing her victory with a loud meow, the cry of her people! Pickle is the reason my team is called the Papercraft Cats, and my Customer Loyalty Reward Points are called Papercraft Cat Reward points - or Pickle Points for short!! Pickle often likes to take part in my classes, by visiting each class member, jumping on their chairs the minute they get up to go to the Big Shot, and generally wanting in and out the door all night! Well, not quite that bad, but she can really be a brat sometimes!

Anyway, please let me know what you think of the change, and if it will be successful becoming my new brand!

My First Ever Facebook Party

Tonight I will be hosting my first ever Facebook Party! I hope you will tune in at 8 pm PDT and party along with us.  Just click on this link to find the event on Facebook. There will be demonstration videos, lots of great games, prizes and I will post a video showing you how to make this card:

Please invite your friends, because the participant who invites the most people who actually participate, will get the Host Rewards from all the orders placed. This is great timing, as I'm sure you all have Wish Lists as long as your arms from the new 2016-17 Annual Catalogue! To be eligible, you must place an order yourself, and be identified by the guests you invite as the one who invited them.

Here are some of the prizes:

Blushing Bride Glimmer Paper, Desk Calendar/Post It Note Holder, Gold Metallic Baker's Twine, and Sahara Sand Lace Trim.

May 2016 Paper Pumpkin Kit

A $50.00 Gift Certificate is the Grand Prize!

Hope to see you tonight at 8 pm PDT!

Papercraft Cats Rewards for Customer Loyalty

Most of you who have read my blog for any length of time know that I have a Papercraft Cat!  It's my cat, Pickle, who looks part Siamese.  She has one endearing quality and that is that every night, she skulks down to my Craft Cave in the basement and pounces on one or two or three unsuspecting craft items and brings them upstairs as her prey for the day. (And announces it with a very loud and triumphant meow, too!)

This is Pickle with some Rhinestone Basic Jewels and some Dimensionals, her kill for today!  She also likes to come and closely check out my workshops and classes when they are at my house.  I really think she wants to be a Stampin' Up! demonstrator and only the lack of opposable thumbs is keeping her from doing it!

So when I was searching for a logo and name for my downline group and my customer rewards program, Papercraft Cats seemed a good fit.  I designed a logo:

and the rewards program, and I'm proud to announce the 

Papercraft Cats Customer Rewards Program!

Here are the details:

My Papercraft Cats rewards program is designed for orders placed online, in person and by phone/email and will help you build your supplies. Once you earn 20 points, you will receive a $50 gift certificate to spend.

Hereʼs How it Works:

• Points are awarded based on every $30 you spend per order. Separate order totals cannot be combined. Eg. A $66 order = 2 points, a $57 order = 1 point.

• Points on are based on your pre-tax and shipping total.

• Points are good for a two-year period.

• Valid on Canadian orders only.

To Track Your Points and Redeem Them:

• Download and fill out this sheet. 
• Once it is completed, use it to fill out the form on my website under Redeem Rewards and submit to me to redeem your $50 gift certificate.
• I will send you a Papercraft Cat token in your thank you cards for every $30 you spend to remind you to fill out your sheet. 
• You are responsible for tracking your own orders and one customer per sheet.

There's no need to bookmark this post because you will be able to access this from the top menu under Rewards. This program is retroactive to January 1, 2014.

I'll be back tomorrow with my Top Ten products from the new Occasions Catalogue!  I've already completed one round of product shares and I have someone waiting  for another group to be complete. Let me know if you want to be a part of the shares.  You can email me if you are interested.
