If you are putting in a large order ($150 or over) for yourself online, be SURE you go directly to my online store and not the Stampin' Up! general website so that you will receive your Hostess Rewards! If you see my name up in the right-hand corner, you are in the right place!  If you need any help, just contact me!  I can also put the order in for you, if you prefer.  But the fastest, easiest way is to do it online since you can put in your own payment easily.

Stampin' Up! is offering a test run of the Texture Boutique Embossing Machine from Sizzix in the North American markets. There are 4,000 available to be sold only while supplies last. If this product test goes well, they may offer the Texture Boutique again in the future.

The Texture Boutique works with Textured Impressions Embossing Folders to transform ordinary cardstock, paper, metallic foil, or vellum into an embossed, textured masterpiece. This machine embosses only; it does not die cut. Because this is a product test, the Texture Boutique is not branded with the Stampin' Up! logo. It comes in Sizzix packaging and is the same color and design that is sold in stores. We recommend you read the included instructions before using the Texture Boutique.

Stampin' Up! is offering a special value bundle that saves you $5.90. If you prefer, you can also purchase the Texture Boutique alone. Looking for stocking stuffers? Pick up some additional embossing folders.
