How do you earn Stampin’ Up! hostess benefits?

Have you ever wondered how you could earn Stampin’ Up! hostess benefits? In a nutshell, once your personal order (or a combination of orders from your friends) reach $150, you begin to earn hostess benefits. I have lots of customers who earn hostess benefits on their personal order alone and many more who earn hostess benefits by hosting a workshop with their stamping friends. I had a workshop this weekend for a long-time customer and repeat hostess, Pam and this was one of the make-n-takes:

This cute little treat was cased with a few changes from the sample on page 86 of the 2014-2015 Stampin’ Up! catalog. It was quickly and easily put together using the new Fry Box die and the “Fast Food Friends” stamp set Check out the treat that was inside:

The cello bag is filled with the Pik-Nik Shoestring Potatoes – yes, they still make them! They were a favorite snack of my boys when they were little and I thought they were perfect for this project. Here’s the list of supplies:

Stamps: Fast Food Friends
Ink: Real Red, Daffodil Delight
Paper: Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Daffodil Delight, Sweet Taffy Designer Series Paper
Accessories: Hexagon Punch, Fringe Scissors, 4″ x 6″ Cellophane bags, Real Red 1/4″ Cotton Ribbon, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Glue

For in-home workshops, I usually provide a couple of make-n-takes for free to allow the hostess and guests a chance to try out some of the products. Pam is a repeat hostess so her make-n-takes are a little more involved since her group of stampers are very experienced.

I also have some customers who like to gather orders from their stamping friends for a “book party” instead of a traditional workshop. For these hostesses, I create a “hostess code” that their friends can use when placing their orders at my online store. The hostess still earns benefits based on the totals of all the orders and I send out a couple of cute cards as a thank you for everyone that ordered.
