Important Updates From Stampin' Up!

Stampin’ Up! is launching their new Online Store on August 4, 2020. There are many new features and improvements in the new online store, and we’ve summarized some of them below:

  1. The store is designed to work seamlessly on desktops, tablets, and mobile phones.

  2. New and improved store navigation provides an updated and enhanced shopping experience.

  3. The site utilizes new, larger imagery to better showcase our products and allow up-close details to be seen.

  4. New landing pages tell our product stories better.

  5. New sorting options and filters provide a more intuitive shopping experience, allowing customers to more easily find what they are looking for. The store’s organization and terminology are also more intuitive for new customers.

  6. The site utilizes inventory status information to show customers what items will be retiring soon, have low inventory, or are backordered so they can make informed purchasing decisions.

  7. Customers can mark their favorite items for later reference, and they can create and share personalized wish lists.

  8. A new Quick Shop feature makes it easy to add items to your cart. We have also simplified the checkout process.

Your account information (Logon and Password) should stay the same.

Please do me a favor and make sure you see “Shopping with PATTI DOLAN" at the top left to be sure you are shopping with me.

Don't forget to use your Bonus Days Coupons that you earned in July to shop in August.  For every $50 you spent in July, you should have received a coupon code in an email from Stampin' Up!   You can add those coupon codes when you check out with your order.
